Vapor Tank Production: Vapor Tanks are, currently, the highest pinnacle of technology that your engineers are capable of. Specifically, Master Engineers and crews of Senior Engineers. Their creation is a labor-intensive process, and for good reason. The production of each part must be carefully done, and the installing and connecting of them more so. Testing the actual machine during assembly in stages is important, because the fact of the matter is that if the vapor engine, or its valves and siphons rupturing, injury or death of the crew is guaranteed. Such a thing could be extremely problematic, for obvious reasons, especially because the crew is made up of such highly educated individuals that it took years to produce. Nevertheless, should the funds be allocated, and the personnel dedicated to the project, another vapor tank may be unleashed upon the world. Cost: 1,000. Time: 1 Year. Reward: 1 Additional Vapor Tank. Upkeep Set At -150 Gold Crowns Per Year, Per Vapor Tank.
Armoring Oskana: Historically, only particularly wealthy and privileged folk could manage to secure a gryphon, let alone house them, feed them, and train them for war. There is, of course, a step further than that. Armoring them. Now, ordinary gryphons are quite hardy creatures indeed, they have to be considering that often the only thing a gryphon needs to worry about fighting is another gryphon, their beaks and claws capable of rending stone, plate armor, and flesh with dangerously close levels of effort. But, so too have gryphons fallen. As such, there are plenty of artworks and notes in the history books about armoring such beasts, though of course one must also take into consideration that too much weight makes them unable to fly. A large breastplate, however, can protect that precious area where the heart and lungs begin from frontal assaults, and a form of molded helm is not remiss either to protect their head. Every scrap of defensibility is important, after all, as any soldier will tell you. You have the capacity and the surety that you could try and request something of such a make from the dwarfs, to improve Oskana's chances on the battlefield. It will be costly, but quality almost always is. Cost: 2,500. Time: 1 Year. Reward: Runic Breastplate For Oskana.
