Always remember /tg/.

1) No one can make you do anything

2) Violence is always an option

3) There is always another way

Herds, health, hunting, crops, war, children, and... trade, I guess?

This >>28217054 fag again, I want to make it explicitly clear that saving magic is actually not a good idea, if the wiki's any indication.

2x War
1x Hunting
1x Health
1x Crops
1x Herds

Hunting and Children are traps of sorts. Children don't contribute anything to production and require support anyway. After investing a few points into Children you'll spend the rest of the game trying to get kids killed to get back to reasonable labor balances.

Hunting isn't great either, I don't believe it has an effect on food yield.

It is now Sea season, and Orstalor continues to be the most reasonable Trickster I've ever seen. We've got twelve goods, which is enough to build a Watchtower if that's something we want.

Since we can't go raiding, we should go trading or exploring.

>>28217344
Magic into Crops lets your farmers plow more land. The more land they plow, the more food gets produced. One unit of food on the menu feeds one person for a year.

>>28217398
So choose trading or exploring? Trading.

>>28217398

I can't shake the feeling that Orstalor is setting up the entire tribe for a monumental prank, and is building us up to make it all the more hilarious (and disastrous) when it hits.

How much stuff do we have to trade?

>>28217439
We can do almost anything actually, but trading and exploring are relatively safe and have good benefits.

Anyway, we don't have the stockpiles to trade for treasures, but we've got the basics covered, so I'm going to suggest we set up a trade route.

The closer a clan's name is to blue the more they like us, and the more likely they are to accept establishing a trade route. Lonisi or the Apples would be good targets.

>>28217513

Do the Lonisi or Apples tribes have anything they are renowned for in particular?

I remember the omen at the end of the last year said that we needed to get a mystery or something involving Urox because of the signs. Can the Lonisi or Apples help out in that regard?

According to the diplomacy screen, 162 cattle and 12 goods. We've actually got a horse deficit; you need one for every thane and noble.

Also Orstalor has somehow become our best diplomat. I don't have words .

>>28217603
Who wouldn't trust a face like that?

>>28217569
Good catch. We need to make a sacrifice to Urox and learn one of his blessings before the end of the year. Our neighbors can't help there, though they can teach us hero stories.

Lonisi is known for hating Chaos. The Apples have strong ties to Heortland.

Also, Orstalor has just informed me that we have a good chance at becoming allies with the Wolves. We didn't put any points into Diplomacy at Sacred Time, but if anyone wants to go diplomancing that's an option too.

Extra event before Fire season: Dead chief, what do? We're being offered 50 cows to resurrect a chief.

Should be pretty obvious how this works. Note that the ritual CAN fail, which will reflect badly on us if we ask for higher compensation.

It is now Fire season. We can raid freely, but we get magic for doing it in Dark season. This might be a good time to go exploring, except! Our new supply of horses lets us recruit five more weaponthanes, which will bring our total to 17 (once the hurt guy heals up).

>>28218889
Don't forget the Urox blessing
Maybe we could go on a cattle raid to get cows for the sacrifice

Offer to Humakt, get Truesword, build walls. Once you're not an easy target, raids will come less often. You might try diplomancing some neighbors, nearby allies sometimes warn you of attacks.

Robasart has made an interesting point by accident. Our treasure Blacktail the Bull has an expiration date--he'll die randomly around 1339. We might want to trade him away in the future.

Since we have them as an ally now, we stand a good chance of successfully opening trade relations with the Taralings.

Something that you'll notice in this picture is that there are three kinds of grains being planted: Wheat, barley and rye.

The game gives you a small benefit if you have production of all three above 20%.

Sounds good. Let me fortify myself for the next year and we'll get started.

How do you determine what Battle tactic to use?

>>28222833
There's a really fucking complicated system of what beats what made even more complicated by the fact that you have no idea what the enemy is going to do before they do it.

>>28222833
You almost always want to charge, so there's that. If you've barely got an army, you want to evade.

For everything else, depends. Usually you'll just want to Plunder when attacking, but if you're trying to really fuck up the other tribe you'll kill as many as possible, burn steads or destroy fortifications, in order of ascendancy. You need to have a LOT more attackers than they have defenders to have a chance of working though.

>>28222906
Charge wins all day, every day. On the (extremely rare) time that the enemy uses Maneuver, well, you'll probably be running Truesword and the Klanth at that point, which means your Weaponthanes -are going to fuck things up- anyways.

Our most suitable replacements. If we were an Orlanth-worshipping clan we could slot Onelisin in since Vingans counts as Orlanthis for most events.

As it is, we might consider Jarstakos, he's the clan's best magicman, which will help during the upcoming heroquests.

>>28223332
Either Jarstakos or Baranthod

Unless we need their stats immediately for something let's pick a younger member and just let him/her build up

>>28223368

35/37 isn't really old. Regardless, it's pretty much a choice between best warrior and best mage, since we want an Elmali.

>>28223397
What are the chances of Jarstakos improving at Combat and what are the chances of Baranthos improving at Magic? Is the question we should be asking ourselves.

Rolled 1

>>28223358
It's pretty much an even split between Jarstakos and Baranthod. The only way to solve this is to ask Eurmal.

1=Jarstakos
2=Baranthod

>>28223421
Pretty much all the good heroquests (not the one we have, the other ones) raise Combat and Magic.

Even Elmal Guards The Stead raises both.

In other words, we can get both of them up to par soon enough.

You can heroquest at any time. There are generally times when it's "best" to heroquest, namely when you can't travel. Our tribe doesn't have that issue since we can raid in Dark.

We can farmer up in the first half of Fire, then try to heroquest in the second half. Alternatively we can just farmer up both halves of Fire and tough it out until one of the halves of Dark or anytime in Storm to heroquest.

Search our Tula in Fire 2 (we haven't done this in ages)

>>28224104
Orlanth's Kinsman Daga was blighting the land, troubling Ernalda and making her less fruitful.

Orlanth promised her he'd go and kill his cousin, for he had quarreled with his kin before.

The two men fought but neither could best the other, so Orlanth went to seek Heler, god of rain, to bring bountiful rain back to the earth.

Heler had been devoured by the Dragon Aroka, however, and on his quest to free him from the belly of the dragon Orlanth encountered many enemies, beating them and taking something from each.

On the way he seduced the Dark Woman, and gave her a gift in turn.

Then he found the dragon and used the items he had collected to defeat it and free the god of rain, ending the drought Daga caused.

dis gun b gud

Heroquests are interesting. Our champions act out the stories of the gods, but their own abilities are tested. It's possible to fail to follow the myth but succeed anyway. Of course, if you fail a heroquest outright, not only is there a chance your hero will die, there's a chance of wrecking supernatural disaster on Dragon Pass.

Orlanth and Aroka is all about ending a drought. Failing the quest has a non-zero chance of starting one.

So, what does Orlanth say to Ernalda?

>>28224228

I know how they work and all, I just never knew how to find out how it's supposed to be solved. With the other anon posting the myth it's all easy though

Yeah, that one is a little troublesome, but so long as you can overcome the monsters at the beginning - usually fine so long as your quester is competent - it's just remembering what lies chaos will tell to Elmal to entice him away from the stead.

He must be humble when he's told he would make a great king in Orlanth's place.

He must be resolute when faced by the memory of a love once shared.

And then he must see the truth, and offer to serve chaos in order to trick the lie-teller into devouring his soul in the form of a fine stallion.

I went with four because the response makes me laugh. 2 and 4 are both correct, though. The moral of (this part) of the story is that stories are mutable things, and that's no bad thing. The moral of Orlanth and Aroka is that killing dragons is awesome and does awesome things.
