Clan magic and omen for the year.

I'm going to step away for a bite to eat and a stretch. If you have any questions, I'll answer them when I'm back in ten-fifteen minutes.

>>29444723
Strange theres no option to just slaughter a ton of animals

>>29444814

There is, on the Food screen. It's better to turn them into silver or treasures, though.

>>29444280
Fun fact: Normally, getting different results from the original myth is a Bad End, but as far as I can tell there's no negative repercussions at all for letting Urox gank the bastard.

>>29444662
we should put a record of stats for the end game before we start the session.

Like ionno, land size, treasures acquired, shrines built etc

I accidentally put my computer to sleep, erasing the sacred time progress. Here's our new omen: good luck. I think this is even better.

>>29444814
There is.

Someone's been talking smack about the clan. How do we deal with the upstarts?

And what is Elusu going on about here with the "stronger than us" deal?

Oh, when you were saying we had all the trade treasures, you meant all the ones that can be acquired through trade. Not the ones that relate to trade. Gotcha gotcha gotcha.

>>29445598
Elusu usually knows what he's talking about there. Plus, it's Sea. Raiding's a bad idea. Sent for the shamans.

The casualty list was disappointing, very small on their side. No horses too. Have Fire season instead, and give me two actions.

>>29445846
Yakiniku and basashi for everyone.

>>29445941
Make any preparations we need regarding our people (healing, sacrificing to Orlanth for the Lightning ritual, etc...) and then hit those motherfucking Jenestni in the balls.

>>29446222

In tandem with this, I say we hit the Jenesti fields with Blast Earth, if we know it. If not, then sacrifice to Eurmal to Curse them instead.

Earth season. You'll notice that none of our people are hurt anymore except Kentvent. Behold the miracle of Chalana Arroy.

>>29446650
Every last member of the enemy party is killed or injured, none of our people are hurt or killed, and we take half their horses. It's a 30% chance at any given time that we do that.

>>29446577
The only good thing aboud dead farmers is that they don't complain

>>29446714
I think I should have said: Two actions for the season.

>>29446925
Any nobles worth feeding to Cragspider? ...Any nobles worth scouting for replacing our aging ring members?

>>29446979

Elusu's age is starting to worry me. As badass as he is, I'm afraid that he may croak of old age before we can get him to be King.

Elusu's 41. That's right on the borderline. We should start looking for a replacement.

A Lonisi trader wants Orstalor to mess with a trading rival. He's offering 10 cows for it. Elusu is against it, but Orlgard has the better argument against.

In the second half of Earth season I'd like to suggest a somewhat radical course of action: Destroying our shrine to the Wind Spirits. The benefit they provide goes unused by us, and we're right on the edge of a death spiral. Getting rid of one shrine won't end the problem, but it won't hurt.

As always though, it's up to you.

>>29448257

How can you tell we're on the edge of a death spiral?

If we're not using their blessings, then let's go for it. We can reinstate the shrine later if needed, right?

370 KB PNG

>>29448323
The sheep death spiral happens when you have a large number of shrines. We're sacrificing 85 sheep to the gods a year, and it's only with 2K+ that we can stay ahead of their natural attrition rate. Since they're still starving we're losing extra sheep on top of that 85. The combination makes for more sheep dying a year than are born, until you don't have enough sheep to breed. If it reaches that point that goes you can't dismantle shrines fast enough to keep ahead of the death rate. And since the shrines are what superpowers your clan, you're basically fucked.

The carls and the cottars are fighting. It means they're not complaining at us for once!

Seriously though, we'll want to settle this.

Sacrifice to Uralda and Nevala. That at least should help stave off the Death Spiral.

Actually, it looks okay. We're down one sheep. I'll be worried if we don't have a replacement Uraldan for Leika, but 2 magic into herds and Calf Blessing looks like it can stem the losses. I'll try tweaking the pastures again, we can probably find some kind of equilibrium.
