There does seem to be enough crossover that they can collaborate with us on enchanting projects, and they have trainers for human-style enchanting, going by BoneyM's informational post.
But setting aside all that, we could go with:
5 points to set up a facility to turn saltpeter into gunpowder
2 points for a Ranger trainer
1 point stocked for an engineering consultation
That would still leave 7 for the fallback fortress idea.

If we stopped being advisors for good I'd agree that a thread switch could be appropriate. But we're still quite a way away from that.
This is what I've been saying for two updates now. But did anyone follow my write in?
I guess three people did...
So you're saying Sigmar has to roll dice to help Van Hal? And such a Good is supposed to be worthy of worship? Don't make me laugh!
Now let me in peace as I go play Yatzeeh with Ranald.
Shouldn't the value of the hired trainer be also dice and diplomacy related as usual? It's not as if we even knew what legendary Dwarf to hire. Or would we be writing "Looking for someone to train tunnel fighters. Please only send renowned heroes. Thanks"?
I'm pretty sure many here switched to the anti-sigmar vote precisely because the vote you're was winning.
@Exmorri At this point in the vote maybe it makes sense to look if two of your favored votes are competing and if you have any preference between which of the two you'd rather have win.

Sigh. That Dramatis Personae sheet is going to see some major overhauls...
Of the few minor positives, we might have gained a relationship point with Gustav? 'Despite being a Wizard, we know the worth of cannon and where to point them' sort of thing. And the relationship with Kasmir will probably have a... minor rewrite depending how both our respective crises of faith go.

Neatly counterbalanced by how dangerously unnerving we've been acting lately, I suspect.

Lately? Dudes always been a bit scared of us, like the rest of Stirland.
And we were the picture of a driven but calm, in control commanding officer after showing the stick.

Cutely unnerving wizard is the threat to your sanity and composure of any upright, Sigmar-fearing gentleman of the Empire when she runs around in her underpants.
Dangerously unnerving is the thousand-yard stare the wizard gives as she takes command and demands you turn the cannons on all major resistance from here to Castle Drakenhof, followed by 3 days of cannons pounding the ancient nightmare of Stirland into rubble.

Since we are speaking about Dwarf rep does anyone want to consider the using it for Julia's Blackwater Canal project idea?
I mean if anyone can actually pull of a canal in the old world it would the dwarves of Zhuftbar the Capital from the Dwarf engineering guild and the new route should open up closer ties to get more Dwarf rep in the future to spend on other projects as we help them.

I'm fairly sure the Dwarves hate the idea of anyone not a dwarf speaking or learning their language. They might let very common words, az (ax), dawi (their word for dwarf), grobi (goblins/orc), throng (if that's even dwarven) etc go just because they are very simple concepts that can easily be grasped, but I don't think they'd allow just about anyone to learn their language, beyond what a word correlates to for another language. It's a secret they guard jealously.
You'd have to make your way to a dwarfhold, but once there it'll only cost you money.
Spending rep would bypass the usual search and dice rolls.
There's a key in the geopolitics threadmark.

Just had the thought that this is Tzeentch' Advisor Quest Antons doing, too. Some "swap fate" Chaos blessing where he got Van Hals crits to further his schemes, dooming the hapless Elector Count to repeated critfails at the worst time.

I've been on to him since we were voting to tell Van Hal to cross the river and attack Drakenhof town, and had my fake nega-SV suspicions for longer.

Interesting. The dwarfs are meticulous about favors as everything else certainly.
Lets see. For the dwarf trainers we probably want Rangers for the Watch at this phase of the War Below, which is mostly Skaven moving around while humans move around as well. We need trackers and investigators who can delve deep and unknown tunnels and report back. That said, when we book this we should clear the schedule to participate in the training as well.
Ironbreakers and Hero training is wasted for now. I don't think our Watchmen even have the basic fitness to finish the training.
Sub-Dawi grade gunpowder...orthogonal to our job, but this would both solve the financial problems for the forseeable future AND probably cause some trouble down the line with Nuln, who'd probably be a little bit unhappy about the competition. Save for later.
Personal tutoring in mathematics...four points would probably go a very long way towards her wizard career. Less so for combat and tactics since she's a wizard and fights completely differently from dwarfs, but I'd probably add Smithing to the table(AFTER learning the basics from a human smith) for when we want to craft our own equipment.
Given how closely the dwarfs keep it to their chest, of limited use.
High praise indeed.
I'm not sure how the techniques crossover, but presumably by the time collaborating with a Runelord would be only worth the Runelord's time AFTER we're in the running for Wizard Lord...
Expensive, but high quality swords and guns are nice.
A bulk purchase for our Watch elites would not go amiss either, but our Rep also opens doors for supporting Gustav in his efforts to restore the Greatswords by getting them good gear.
Not really worthwhile yet. But heh.
Net result, my proposed spending:
-Immediate
--2 points on Rangers. Mathilde sets time aside to be trained along with the Watch.
-Mid term
--5 points on Gunpowder production refinement. Depends on the new boss.
-Long term
--Reserve 8 points for personal improvement. Possible combos:
---8 points for enchantment consultation.
---4 points for learning forgework. 4 points for improving Mathematics
Yeah. Also keeping in mind dwarfs would find the idea uncomfortable to routinely write to a human enough to constitute a rumor mill.
AND of course, their focus on entirely different matters than we do.
That said, I suspect if they found a Waagh coming or something of immediate strategic value they might write a letter. Might.
I just imagined Mathilde sneaking into churches and toiletpapering the roof overnight.
There is a significant difference. I support the Sigmar vote, but don't underestimate the consequences.
That said, for those opposing the Sigmar vote, you guys are doing it wrong.
A big chunk of the Sigmar voters are there because fear of battle was the leading option. You might have better luck promoting alcoholism.
I'm not sure Mathilde was calm to anyone but US. I would not be surprised if she conducted the whole thing with wide, bloodshot eyes and clenched teeth.

One possibly important thing to note, according to that list it seems like the Dwarves are willing to sell things to us because we have Rep that only cost money and do not cost Rep. This is important to take into account because if we spend too much Rep we might lose the ability to buy those things.
So, make sure that we have at least a few points left over unless there's nothing on that list that costs nothing but cash that you want to be able to buy in the future.

Been clarified already. Our Reputation is 15. This is the max of our ability to hold favors from dwarfs. It does not go down unless we do grudgeworthy stupids.
Our Favors is 15. This is what we can trade in. While trading it in all at once would be a little gauche, its not harmful to our reputation.

Good to know, thanks.
We can probably make it a little cheaper if we use Abelhelm's Bridge garrison for trainers. They are already here and have nothing better to do than socialize with manlings anyway. Not sure if there are any Rangers, though.
