[] Draft Plan Building A Better Future
I would replace the storage with Collage version* as well. Both to ensure politically Empire can't be cut out and we don't get overly reliant on Grey Lords but rest is good.
The current state of the network also shows that there us already something very similar to what you are describing covering most of the important bits of the world.
I prefer the Fascis. There's plenty of available people to create it, it's not too difficult and it doesn't create too much Dhar.
I'd like the wizard version, but having the dwarfs be necessary to build it will be better for diplomacy.
I préfère the wizard version. It's a comprise between effective and availability.
The Grey Lord is better imo. The clockwork needs regular maintenance, and in places that need waystones the most it's difficult to do. And light wizard diminishes the number of people who can do it and would give too much influence to the light order.
The leyline version is easy and cheap, let's do that.
It prevents 7/8th of spellcasters to contribute, and would give too much influence to one single College.
There's few Archmages and even less Gelts of Von Tarnus. Their time is by consequences very, very valuable. It means that nearly no humans can create it.
I think we should build the best we can now and then create 3 more desings that every polity can build themselves in the future if they longterm co-operations doesn't pan out or gets interrupted.
We could instead have elves do this. First, this dodges giving one college too much influence. It also doesn't have the issue that casting High magic does, as it doesn't need an expert. Finally, it doesn't involve humans dealing with Dhar at all.
I'd very much like both.
I'm using Runed storage, which uses a Runesmith, not a Grey Lord. And I think magical energy storage is an area where Runecraft might have the qualitative edge. Also, my plan uses the Jade river transmission, requiring a Jade Magister to make.
Your plan appears to have been lost in editing.
The problem with High magic is that there's very few people that can cast it, and so their hours is very expensive and valuable.
Thanks, but I knew
I was on my phone when I wrote that post, and edited it correctly when I got on my computer.
Yeah I noticed there was already a plan with only leyline but not with both on this combinations so updated.
This one I like, this is a stone we can literally plop down everywhere we could think of.
If you are looking for that, could I interest you in this instead?
I don't like Collagiate Facis. SO wrote my own plan saying "Ganbatte Mathilde" for the best product we can build.
That definitely would have been the better name! But why the issue with the colligiate fascis, if you are using leyline transmission or both?I don't like Collagiate Facis. SO wrote my own plan saying "Ganbatte Mathilde" for the best product we can build.
Shit that might have been a better name for the plan.
I am not sure how that will react to Both Leyline option if there is no waystone left downsteam after it kicks to rivers from the absance of Leyline. I feel like there is a failure point in there somewhere so less reliable in my mind. I mean no point going for both if we are not taking full advantage of the extra reliablity. Plus I reseved that for Empire only Waysone I am planing for the future.
Because Grey Lord option can be copied by collages even if it is not understood at the moment which means if Grey Lords in the future stop supplying it Collages will know how to do it as well. Plus Hysh version is going no where and can be made later for pure Empire Waystone same as PanCollage fascis.
I agree with this except for capstone, I think that wind-based method is worth the risk because with how rare high magic is it. I think it would be a bottleneck for the rest of the waystone.
Lol I put that to Dwarven only waystone. Dwarves are not going to forget it like ever. But that is a future plan for me yes.
