See heres and interesting thing, we wanted to buid an enchanting workshop before studying them and that toke a long time to set, then we wante to practice some enchanting and we finaly done that, so why are giving away the swords when we finaly finished preparing for actualy studying them ?
It literay takes a single action so why note finaly do it now that we can ?

It will more than likely take multiple actions to research them and for some unknown benefit if there even is a benefit or we could just trade them in for 2 favors which have multiple purposes and likely be very helpful in the future.

So… I have a couple of issues with the current plans.
1) Why are we hiring an outsider to run the fief when we could instead take the local community leader option? He responded well to us and has a far better idea what the place actually needs.
2) No overwork. Normally I'm against such things but this is crunch time, some or all of these options are not going to be available after this turn.
3) Not folding the farmers and factory into the EIC. We still have the option to do things with the EIC, such as the printing option. It costs us some of the profits but lets them run on automatic rather than consuming our time.

1. Because the 'local community leader' is just a guy with slightly more goats than everyone else. Better to hire someone who is actually qualified.
2. Overwork is risky and there are not enough urgent options to justify its use.
3. I assume our steward will keep things running in our absence. Folding them into the EIC will cost us a significant portion of the profits. I would like to keep some of our revenue stream separate from the EIC.

The thing is that we would only have to modify them with a binding piece or whatever acording to our master btw for kebabs to avoid the flaw of those.

And people please remember there are 48 of them left , so we could send like 10 each to diffrent colleges and keep a few for our purposes so we can get the encantment done. I mean maybe spread the favors around is the point more than anything else. Basicly amethyst since its their wind, maybe ours and whoever are enchanters school are so they reverse engineer it aswell?

From what i gather the goal of current encantment actions is to be good enough to reverse engineer the kebab and then modify the missing piece for a pretty good enchantment and maybe make money/favors with it in the future outside whatever minor enchantments we can do already and will learn. And it was mentioned even basicly encanted stuff is worth lots of money. If we get lucky we might be into useful enchantment territory wich might pay for future fief expansion or getting rid of eic debt.

Setting up zhubar trade while we go inquire about the next karak varn raid seems like a action to do this turn and help our EIC income guys.

+whatever the juice turns into being but it might not be enchantment . Maybe elves might be interested in it btw if we cant do anything with the juice for people who want money for it. I do agree that giving it away is stupid this turn.

I like the idea of doing our best to study some of the swords as much as possible and then giving them to the Amethyst order at the end regardless of what we get.

I was originally not all that enthused about the buying more land, but then I realized that we can have a steward manage the land so we don't need to personally waste actions on (and more importantly have to read about) fief management and it will also give us a good outlet for all that money set to be used on our land. I'm not sure what we'd do with the land but studying Ulgu seems like a good choice, I wouldn't mind also looking for places that might make a good trade route possibly with Zhufbar (but given the terrain that seems unlikely).

I'm not sure if hiring the manager is possible as a free action or not, but if it is then that's something we might want to consider.

Thoughts on other plans

[X] Plan Private Sector Preparation

Pretty much the same but without taking the chance to look at the swords.

The thing is that we would only have to modify them with a binding piece or whatever acording to our master btw for kebabs to avoid the flaw of those.

And people please remember there are 48 of them left , so we could send like 10 each to diffrent colleges and keep a few for our purposes so we can get the encantment done. I mean maybe spread the favors around is the point more than anything else. Basicly amethyst since its their wind, maybe ours and whoever are enchanters school are so they reverse engineer it aswell?

From what i gather the goal of current encantment actions is to be good enough to reverse engineer the kebab and then modify the missing piece for a pretty good enchantment and maybe make money/favors with it in the future outside whatever minor enchantments we can do already and will learn. And it was mentioned even basicly encanted stuff is worth lots of money. If we get lucky we might be into useful enchantment territory wich might pay for future fief expansion or getting rid of eic debt.

Setting up zhubar trade while we go inquire about the next karak varn raid seems like a action to do this turn and help our EIC income guys.

+whatever the juice turns into being but it might not be enchantment . Maybe elves might be interested in it btw if we cant do anything with the juice for people who want money for it. I do agree that giving it away is stupid this turn.

We have lotsa money, might as well use it instead of actions. If you dont use it its like you aint got it.
Should also upgrade to gunpowder factory instead of saving dwarf favor for the never-never.
 
Can people explain their thoughts with the choice of Zhufbar vs Eight Peaks? I didn't expect the low-stakes, low-reward option to be so overwhelmingly favoured, especially after Eight Peaks had the edge in the last round.

For me it's mostly being close to Stirland so we can stay in touch with friends and hear what's going on there, and partly low stakes because Mathilde isn't a combat hero (yet?) and the dwarfs are hardly going to let her sit back and command artillery again.

Eight Peaks is so far away from the Empire and all we have done and know so far.

Spending a few years with dwarvish activities without jumping right into the deepest water seems like a decent compromise.

I was initially fairly neutral on the decision, I expect both will be interesting adventures and had no real preference.

On second thoughts though I feel like paying back the dwarfs for their help to Empire and the best way to do that is help them reclaim a dwarf hold, especially considering how little support they seem to be getting from other corners of the Empire. I also expect a wizard could be of great help to them as we saw in the previous campaign, our mage-sight allowed us to zero in on enemy spellcasters and often identify what they were up to (and then shoot them), an ability the dwarfs lack.

The fact that the rewards can be expected to be better is a nice benefit too though.

Eight Peaks was approval voting last for some people at least: those who wouldn't want to run Hogwarts. My preferred option was mercenary unit, and if there was "build a spy ring abroad" option I'd choose it over founding a Grey Company. So now people who don't really like dwarven crusades but like building granaries even less are voting for "getting done with it and going for something I'd like better".
I think it'd help if you told us how do you want to run the reconquista (like Purge Turns?), how long do you expect it to last and how long before we can "take a vacation" so people could vote more informed instead of relying on PTSD from a completely unrelated quest.

He needs some backup, and Belegar is--among the Dwarfs--one of the ones with the most appreciation for irregular tactics, if I'm not mistaken, he has the largest concentration of Rangers among his retinue--a Grey Wizard auxillary would fit into those like a glove
