*Shrugs* Well, I think slaughtering the cattle is pretty much a lock at this point, which sucks, but we'll just have to cope.
Possibly we can expand on the fishing next turn.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

Personally, I'm hoping we can get slaughtering the cattle as a military action given the direness of the situation, allowing us to spend the stewardship action on expanding our fishing operation.

Alternatively, since we're both the steward and diplomat for the crusade currently, drop the diplomacy action this turn in favour of a second stewardship action...

No raiding, we can't trust the Scourge to not have poisoned supplies and we shouldn't raid the Trolls because they keep the Scourge busy.

I was thinking more along the lines of having most of the archers hunt or having our troops collect and slaughter the livestock. They seem like the sort of gruntwork you can assign a soldier with...

    "Report. " You order the officer in front of you.

    "Yes Ma´am, the Thondroril River garrison reports no suspicious activities from the Scourge, they have yet to try and cross the river and the commanding officer is happy to report that there has been no problems with the new recruits." The officer takes a short break to catch his breath.

    "The Crown Guard garrison reports that the Scourge at Fungal Vale seem content to stay in their base, they have yet to try and attack the Tower or get past them, the commander also report that there have been some altercations between the new recruits and the older soldiers but they have worked it out and seems to get along."

    "The garrison at Eastwall however has some worrying news, it seems that the Trolls are starting to become more active, their patrols are starting to creep closer to the Tower, while the commander doubt that the Trolls will attack she requests more soldiers to further discourage them. She also reports that the new recruits are behaving and no problems have risen." The officer stops here and waits for you to speak.

    "So there haven´t been any major incident with the new recruits, I am glad to hear that, but on to other matters. The River garrison and the Crown Guard garrison are to continue as they have, but I have new orders to the Eastwall garrison, they are to tighten their patrols and bring them closer to the Tower, I don´t want them to unnecessarily provoke the Trolls, we will talk about the matter of reinforcement during the meeting." You lean back in your chair. "You are dismissed."

    "Yes Ma´am." The officer turns around and leaves.

    After the officer has closed the door you put your head in your hand.

    "First the storms and now the Trolls, it´s just one thing after another, hopefully the Trolls won´t attack us and keep the Scourge busy."

    Sighing you remove your head from your hands and start working on your paperwork.

    Soldiers for builders would be a vastly superior option; not only is success guaranteed, it will also shorten the time necessary for the Enclave to be built, which will have much more impact on our food than an extra 2 months of supply.
    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...

    I know, thing is, we kind of need the food now.

    The alternative is slaughtering the Livestock. I want the Soldiers for Fishers this turn and Soldiers for Builders the next(if possible).

    Our people are starving, we really need the food. Not slaughtering the Livestock gives at least a trickle of food for us to stretch supplies further with.

    We have a large food deficit, More Fishing Boats takes 2 turns.

    If you're going Soldiers for Builders, could I convince you to take Stewardship: Slaughter the Livestock instead of Expanding the Integration Office this turn? We really need some food supplies ASAP.

    Hm... that'd be one possibility. Particularly since one of the issues is that with the Emergency-option, it stays locked in until the SE is completed, meaning we'd reduce ourselves to only 1 Martial Action for the next 4-7 turns, which seems rather risky.
    So, choosing only one leaves us with 2 open Martial Slots, which seems much more reasonable/safe.
     
    Why not lose a personal action this turn and contact dwarves? I think they have food and with air support it will be easier to deliver? And I know that integration office is really good, but perhaps if we make royal investment into the enclave, it will be finished sooner?

    Fair enough, switching.

    Soldiers for Fishers into Soldiers for Builders.
    Expanding the Integration Office into Slaughter the Livestock.

    We need to do a 1-turn food action this turn. I don't want Scarlet Enclave to roll a 21 only to be hit by the starvation penalty and fail anyway.

    Have you seen our luck with Personal actions?

    Also, the diplomacy action is for contacting the Dwarves(sending a message). It does nothing to our food situation right now.

    Edit: @Kelenas, what do you think about retaking Browman mill instead of Soldiers for Builders(personally, I'd barricade/infiltrate noxious glade first).

    Military :
    [X] Fortify Eastwall Gorge
    [X] Spears for Scarlet Defenders
    [X] Soldiers for Fishers
    I'm worried about the trolls. The spears will help us reduce our losses, which is important against the Scourge. And we need food.

    Diplomacy :
    [X] Focus on Stewardship
    It would be nice to integrate Light Hope's Chapel, but I don't want to integrate it while we are in dire straits.

    Stewardship :
    [X] More Fishing Boats
    + [X] Emergency - Slaughter The Livestock
    Boats for food, and thanks to Qeqre's remarks, I think it would be nice to have even more food for now.

    Intrigue :
    [X] Infiltrate - Zul'Mashar
    Stuff with trolls there. It would be nice to know what is going on.

    Learning :
    [X] Heavy Arrows
    An archer is only as useful as his arrows, and if his arrows don't work, there is a problem.

    Piety :
    [X] Study - Undead Corpses
    Well, it's short, and it would help a lot to know how it works.

    Personal :
    [X] Translate the Notes
    Seriously, I would much prefer taking the Brigitte, Saidan or Alexandros option, but I will take the gamble, hoping we find something game changer inside. Anything from a reroll +10, to turning your soldiers into super vrykuls, to summon a Naaru.


    @Genezz , could you add '' [] '' in front of each of your options? We wouldn't have to put them ourselves and it would also show more clearly each option. It would also make it clearer if you could underline each field of options, military, diplomacy, etc...

    Stone Quarry: Building a Stone Quarry would let us store stones for future use, making future building projects that uses a lot of stone take a shorter time to complete.
    Cost: 2,000. Time: 2 Month. Chance for Success: 90% Reward: Shorter completion time on projects that uses a lot of stone, +1,000 Mining Income.

    When I think farms I think wooden houses that don´t use much, or any, stone, not enough to be affected by this option.

    I altered my planning.

    I have a question. If we take Soldiers for Builders, which reduce the time to build back the enclave by three months, it will busy them for the whole reconstruction. But what if we take them later, when it would only take four months to build everything back? it would only take them one month to reduce the job by three, or will it reduce as the reconstruction continues?

    Thanks Genezz for the edit.

    As I said to Quqre; Soldiers for Fishers is a bad choice. It would lock one of our martial actions up for a full 7 turns (more if we happen to experience additional failures), while only getting us 2 months' worth of food. Soldiers for Builders is vastly better in that it reduces the amount of time necessary to build the Scarlet Enclave, which also reduces the amount of time this action is locked in, and allows for food production to resume much earlier, and thus reduce the need for emergency-actions. The only reason to pick the Fishers, here, would be if you're absolutely unwilling to go with slaughtering the lifestock for some reason.

    On rerolls, do you want me to prioritize Scarlet Enclave above all else, even a Crit Fail and a Massive Crit Fail if the Enclave gets a regular fail?

    We only have to roll adequately for it once right? Right?

    Hey Genezz, will we fall to Large Deficit this turn if we don't do something like Slaughter Livestock or Scavenge? And if so what are the effects of it? I want to know if we should avoid hitting it at all or not.

    In the beginning, a slight penalty to a random category, if you continue be in large deficit or lower the penalty will become lower and be applied to multiple categories, this will happen gradually.

    If an action takes multiple turns I roll for that option each turn.

    8 turns of 80%...

    That would give us roughly a 16.7% chance of not failing any rolls...

    Taking Soldiers for Builders would increase that to ~32.7%

    Edit: Excluding rerolls of course

    ... Now I want to research DD in hopes of being able to dump that on Scarlet Enclave somehow.

    The place is as much of a CF as Corin's Crossing.
