[Warhammer Fantasy: Colony Quest] Your Prize is Responsibility.

That is solidly Intrigue. Intrigue is the stat relevant for duping, not Learning. Telling people to look out for suspicious behaviour and report it is what I imagine could be a part of Monitor Corruption.

We are preventing duping not doing it. There is a solid argument that learning can do it.

Countering Intrigue uses Intrigue. Every single one of our Intrigue actions are about countering Intrigue. Learning is inappropriate here. Librarians and university professors are not who you want to dismantle smuggling rings or figure out who's taking bribes.

Good things I am not say that they do that, and there is no rule that spesifies that you can only use a stat vs the same stat.

Martial can counter Intrigue by stepping up patrols and the like, Stewardship by searching the books for evidence of falsified records, Learning for identifying the occult symbols you find in a group's hideout. Other stats can be used to counter certain forms of Intrigue, but only in certain specific ways. This is an unfitting way. One might as well as say Learning can be used to educate them to handle food better or take better care of the defences, when the actually appropriate stats for food preservation and fortification repair are Stewardship and Martial, respectively.

I think disease and health matters in general fit Learning better than Stewardship, including this action.

Fuckit I'm going to get the post out and then we can adjust the mechanics as they play out.

 

[Pillowsperky]

It is hard to truly fathom how strenuous and tiresome sea travel is until one has to engage in it upon vessels containing hundreds of men, women, children and their animals. Such was the life lived by all in the colony fleet travelling from the old world to Lustria, only kept healthy by the grace of Gods and the the random hand of fortune. Soon enough however land was sighted, the isthmus of Lustria guiding the fleet south past the creeping jungle and to a scouted bay north of the piranha swamps and the Amaxon river delta.

Brave Mariners from Marienburg soon leapt into the water, protected by enchanted cloth and the guiding providence of Manaan, to secure the ropes that would guide in and hold the barrel-lofted pontoon docks used for unloading the initial construction supplies. The vessels that held the colonies initial population would remain there for the week as storage and as insurance allowing the first roots to be down without the many hundreds needing to occupy a forest of tents in the Lustrian mud. Already issues were flaring up only to be tamped down as hundreds of hands made work light.

It is Time, My Lord. Rapunzel chirps in your ear with a giggle as she watches your legion of obligations disgorge upon virgin land, to claim your prize... Responsibility.

For bunkhouses do we get the listed Benifit for every one we build or everyone in use or just once or just once if everyone is housed in them?

Building benefits do not stack unless listed (subject to change), so you do get the unrest benefit for having just one built.

However not having enough housing for people will also guarantee a chance for Unrest, so...

I'd personally put the Docks in there. It's a very efficient food building per manpower. The Smithy will also be very nice to have as soon as possible given that it's gonna cost us every turn we don't have it.

As I see it, our bare necessities, in rough order are:
1. Docks(1, max of 1) - It's just the best building.
2. Farms(Unsure. Depends on what our food calculations look like) - People can't do anything if they can't eat.
3. Smithy(1, max of 1)) - Everything we build is going to cost us extra until this is built. Best to get it in early.
4. Bunkhouses(2) - People need rooves over their heads.
5. Granary(1) - We want to be able to store our excess food, and free up our ships for other jobs.
6. Lumberyard(1) - We will need more materials to expand.

Everything else follows from those.

 

[dlwj2000]

Well for our fist turn, we should obviously make two bunkhouses, and two jade paddies, both free, the only downside of the paddies is not an issue here. That is 6/10 manpower used. It seems to be that getting a granary, dock and smithy are all important. Storing food, one of the best building to make us money and food, and getting some materials and reducing upkeep with the smithy.9/10 manpower 10/30 CM that should be a strong opening before we lose manpower to matinence. I have no clue what to do with the advisors, and there are all sorts of options for the last manpower.

 

[Roaming_Guardian]

Forrester could have narrative benefits. Get a lay of the jungle early, get started figuring out what trees are good for lumber, discover edible or useful plants.

 

[dlwj2000]

reviewing the options, we have a bunch of good opinions: walls, watch tower, viewing tower, clinic or witch finders. All seem like useful defensive picks. I think the celestial tower is out of the running due to the immediate use of the reroll reducing our ability to do anything with the knowledge.

 

[Pillowsperky]

This looks like the only one we can do at the moment.

Wait shit haha, I forgot to give you guys the benefits of the event: aka one of the nearby factions has immediately made contact.

Via Skin-to-Skin contact with a colonist.

Or should that contact come at the end of the week of initial building (Aka with the 1st week's results)? Nvm I'm just eager and snickering at who made contact.

 

[DragonParadox]

[] Plan Landfall Construction only
[] [Construct] Smithy
[] [Construct] Jade Rice Paddy x4
[] [Construct] Colonial Bunkhouse x2
[] [Construct] Palisade Wall
[] [Construct] Granary
[] [Construct] Tavern
[] [Construct] Governor's Manse

Construction Cost: 7 unit of manpower, 22 unit of construction materials, 10 Mo.
Maintenance Cost: 5 Manpower per week, 5 Mo per week.

Output:

• 8 Mo per week, 2 Construction Materials.
• No Construction materials Maintenance Cost
• 20 food per week
• Provides better housing for 1000 colonists, improving overall morale.
• Increases the chance of civil unrest decreasing by 10%
• Adds 60 Defense Health to each quadrant (atop a base of 10)
• Adds +20% to Defense rolls, 5% to Attack Rolls.
• Can hold 60 units of Food, will spoil a base 5% per week
• Functions as a Recruitment Ground for Adventurers.
• Reduces Unrest Chance by 10%, Increases chance of unrest decreasing by 10%
• Increases Stewardship by 5%
• Generates 15 Prestige upon finishing,
• Increases prestige gains from other sources by 5%

Reasoning

1. We cannot afford to have that standing 0.25 construction materials cost for each building, that thing adds up
2. This will not only cover our food needs, but also allow us to stock up a bit which is a good idea since we have more people on the way
3. Construction costs are waved and just like with the farms we have more people coming
4. We need basic defense, this is Lustria
5. We cannot keep the good on the ships
6. We need some place to put all these murderhobos... er good and honest adventurers, also the morale is nice we it makes money
7. Flynn and all the other people with him also need to live somewhere

That's not valid, bunkhouses are 2 MP to build. Also just IMO I feel like we don't need 4 farms, we have a bunch of other building that we will want to build that also give food, two seems like plenty for now.

Okay, this is a rough idea for my Plan. I am unsure abaout how many buildings we can construct in one turn, but since we have 10 manpower i selected 10 buildings.

I think those are the fundamental buildings we must have from the beginning, everything else we can start building next turn.

Regarding cojoined actions, i just put Flynn name beside the action i wanted him to do togheter with an advisor.

All the actions are basic stuff to take stock of our situation and start searching potential dangers or opportunities.

By the way, the Colony Name i suggested means Opportunity in German. It seemed like a fitting name for a newly founded settlement in the New World.

Actually now that I consider it, it might be sensible to introduce the Event as a sidestory, and use that post to open up the vote.

Our colony has just gotten set up and has no mercenaries to defend it, so it's in a very vulnerable place. For the first week, all we need to do is make sure we're as safe as possible, then we'll be in a good position when the second wave shows up with new colonists and mercenaries.

Our food and money situation is pretty good right now, so we can afford to waive the waive in favour of things that'll help us survive in the immediate term. The clinic for disease; the palisade, watchtower, and shrine to deal with threats, the Celestial Viewing Tower because we get random events every week and we just saw how bad that can go (and soon we'll see how it can go good). The granary is because we don't want our food to spoil, the docks because some food production is prudent and it combos with the Shrine of Manaan.

The advisor actions are all about playing defence for this first week. I'll probably change the Diplomacy action once we find out who we met.

The downside to this plan is that it eats up a bunch of our construction materials without building any lumber-yards. We'll be in a crunch next turn, but not the kind of crunch that'll hurt us, just slow us a bit. What might hurt us is everything this plan is intended to ward off.

This plan loses out on the free construction of the farms. Also the maintenance cost of not having a smithy is SEVERE it's really a necessity. 5 defensive building feels excessive, the shrine and the viewing tower aren't going to be the most useful only only helps with see born attacks somthing that seems less likely than land. And the other is less useful for a month.

Spoiler: (OOC) Plan Notes

I'm going to focus in on construction efforts for now. I will just say that I think:
[] [Stewardship] Improve Construction: The Stewardship advisor focuses on improving the colony's work gangs in constructing buildings. This action can provide an extra Manpower in Construction. - Base Difficulty 10%

May be the best choice for the Stewardship advisor. I'd also like to start training the militia immediately.

The goal here is to use all of our manpower, with a provision for using 11.

Spoiler: (OOC) Other notes

OOC Notes:
The lumberyard has been significantly nerfed. Obtaining construction materials will be something of an effort. We will need to build foresters if we want to maximise it's efficiency. Hopefully we only need 4 foresters to have any future lumberyards also be working at full output. The Docks have also been nerfed, massively, but they still create half of our money income on their own. Pretty good building. Hopefully the manpower cost gets lowered a bit to 0.5 or something. I think building two bunkhouses and two farms for free this first week is too good of an opportunity to pass up, and the rest are laying the groundwork for a functioning economy that can sustain itself and expand. Plus the docks because I really think our isolated port-town should have a docks ASAP. I reckon Safety should be our priority next week. Shrines, watchtowers, etc.
