@Boney What would taking the tributary (international) option for kislev amount to here? on the spectrum from 'fully redundant/not applicable' to 'will add a meaningful amount of resources to an existing effort' to 'needed to get meaningful tributary work done in the next few years'?
Is "[ ] Involve yourself in current affairs: specify what and how." a valid JOHANN action?
I think that even if the Eonir ride deer, deer-riding is extremely different from horse-riding in important ways. Deer are proportioned differently and move very differently from horses.
If you're using Overwork, you should explicitly say so in the plan. Also, for Waystone: Other Networks, if you're taking the action twice you should have separate entries for them because you need to say who from the Waystone project is assisting with them (a general issue with these plans is that you aren't specifying that). Getting Lothern publishing contacts is also not viable unless we're actually going to Lothern, so I would swap that action with setting up an exchange with Karak Vlag.
I don't really think that's an issue though. Or that specifically isn't an issue that won't happen regardless. We all know that Dwarfs don't like external infrastructure and elgi magic. They're not going to be particularly demanding about it. Van Hal and Hertwig aren't going to be as enthusiastic about waystones as Boris will be.
It is a valid Johann action. Here is the Boney quote from when it was first propsed:
Given that one of the reasons why they are in conflict with Nordland is that humans keep killing their tributaries because they like precious metals, I respectfully disagree. I think the Eonir would find a lot of value in a tributary they can put up on borders with humans so the peasants don't get any funny ideas while they keep the lornalim for more internal usage.
I'm sure the Shadowlands are lovely this time of year.
They aren't in conflict with Nordland though. Nordland has lost and lost decisively. There's even
Don't forget, formatting (including links) is controlled by the earliest appearance of a plan in the voting period, regardless of whether or not it is that poster's most recent vote.
We can't check if they're using it to weaken the empire or empower its foes unless we know who is skimming off the top. If we already knew that, we wouldn't have the option of making an auditor's division.
She was ( gently requested to go) by Boris after the fight with Drycha.
That's what moneylenders are for. We possess a hefty share in a growing merchant company that's only going to grow in wealth once the Zhanyka Canal is finished. I definitely think we can borrow quite a hefty sum from a Dwarf moneylender, or even an Asur one.
That actually works pretty well as a setting for a planquest.
I think that Laurelorn probably cares about the long-term stability of a human alliance and are way, way too familiar with the notion that our good intentions erode over time. Trust but verify, you know? Don't dangle temptation in front of the Middenland or Nordland peasants, because in a few generations the political will to punish them for treaty breaches might just not be there. This is especially important given the increased interaction with humans they'll have as a result of the fog bridge. Waystones would be more valuable for them, sure, but the current Waystone design just isn't optimized for their needs.
See this:
The action would include investigating.
That's fair, but also we're not really focusing on internal subversion of the Empire in our main turns and so actions that increase our ability to contest that are just less interesting to me than actions that solidify our diplomatic outreach.
I just don't think that spending an Eike Study action on "finding shinies" is very interesting. I have every confidence in our ability to find appealing shinies without doing that. I'd rather the Study actions be stuff she can do during the three months we're gone, such as taking Enchanting classes and studying Khazalid per @Andres's idea. The issue with your proposed Eike Study action, even though I agree it has more writing hooks than mine, is that all of it requires Mathilde's attention or at least presence and Eike is stuck twiddling her thumbs when we're gone.
Ah, good.
I actually wouldn't count on it. The Druchii Malekith dumps there presumably have little or nothing on the scale we would be looking for.
But... Eike in Lothern... :'(
I had a reflexive "no!!!" reaction before reading the rest of it xD
