My people, to me! It is now the Sacred Time, and we tell the history of our people in keeping with ancient tradition.

Last year our clan received a warning that Cragspider was displeased with us. We retorted by sending a noble to die a pointless death trying to attack her. We also discovered a camp of Horse-Spawn where a beautiful horse was found ripe for the stealing, save that by the time our thieves made it to the camp the nomads have moved on.

There's never a backup. Least there's a half decent chance one turns up eventually. Unlike Uroxi. I love Uroxi.

Once had an Issaries that kept flying into Uroxi battlerages and getting embarassed by it afterwards, but just isn't the same as a true son of the storm bull

The question now is, who do we replace Orstalor with? Tricksters are special, and Orstalor was a special Trickster, but we still need seven ring members. My vote for replacement goes to Karendra, who has our clan's highest Animal skill and has Heroic Combat. On the downside, she's an Odaylan, which won't be hugely useful (unless one of a handful of random events happens where an Odaylan is useful).

I'm also considering replacing Kentvent and his beard with Enfrew. Any objections?

>>29856297
We don't, Tricksters have a tiny chance of spawning. If we keep feeding nobles to Cragspider we'll get a chance at another one.

>>29856336
One week. Maybe two. Lots of reasons for the delay, not the least of which is a glorious new computer.
>>
>>29856481
And thus, Onelisin remains the last of first-ringers.
>replacing Kentvent and his beard with Enfrew
Go for it.

328 KB PNG
The alternative to Karendra is Randella, an Issarian. High (but not Heroic) Bargaining, more goods from trade, and I think she allows an extra trade route.

The downside is, if we want to send her on a trade or diplomatic mission, we lose her until the caravan returns.

The upside to the downside is there aren't any more treasures to be had, so we won't be sending her off as much as we would.

I leave it to you: Karendra or Randella?
>>
>>29856215

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>
>>29856481
Yeah fuck it, sounds good until we get a new Trickster.

Speaking of which, I forget, does constantly sending nobles on Cragspider suicide runs piss her off?
>>
>>29856663
I'd go with the Issariate, I always feel naked not having one on the ring.
>>
>>29856663
Issaries stronk.

This is our new clan ring. We'll have to replace Onelisin before too long, but this is what it'll look like for the foreseeable future.

It does. In the PC version of KoDP there's no retaliation due to a bug. In the iOS version though...

You'll note that Randella has a pithy saying. Nobles have personalities, like Onelisin's elf-hate, or Orstalor (Eurmal rest his soul) and his peace seeking. Randella likes sayings.

We're actually down to just two feuds now, to my surprise. Other clans will raid you if they don't like you, or if you're weak. In our case, most of our old feuding partners still don't like us, so we get raided by a good number of clans.

So, we should patch things up with our former enemies? How do we go about that? Just gift them something? I remember the Anmangarni attacked us this year, should we send them a "thank you so much for attacking us" present?
>>
>>29865010
Fair enough. Quickly: There are five seasons in the game. During each, you can perform two actions. Generally you want to do peace time events in Sea and Earth season (sowing and harvest time), war related activities in Fire (or Dark, if your clan is good at fighting in the cold), any kind of home event in Dark season (barring the previous caveat), and all activities are available in Storm season.

Peace activities: Sacrificing, heroquesting, exploring, trading, diplomacy
War activities: raiding and cattle raiding

>>29865091
Sending gifts. We have a lot of horses, and horses are expensive. Want to send some to the Anmangarn?

The downside to having an Issarian on the ring is that you have to be careful when you send them out. For example, we won't get the 7 god bonus to the heroquest because Randella is away during the festivities.

We'll be performing Orlanth and Aroka to grab the quest's last treasure.

And that's the year.

I'm going to call the game for now, we'll pick up in this thread twelve or so hours from now. Hope everyone's gotten back into the swing of things, we'll be playing a lot more in the next few weeks.

I'll stick around for a bit to answer questions. Thanks for playing all.

Hopefully they made one of their new horses a leader. I bet he'd be better than their entire ring.

So from what I understand there's three phases of this game, clan, tribe, and something else.

What's the third and are we at it yet? And how long will it last?

>>29866877
Yeah, where are we, end game wise? I never played the game to completion...
>>
>>29866877
>>29866899
The third phase is kingdom. It lasts until you succeed in forming a kingdom in Dragon Pass or until you catastrophically fail and another tribal king manages it.

This is the phase we are in. We've completed the required heroquests, now it's just a matter of waiting for the end game events to start.

The only screen where Randella doesn't have a pithy saying is the trade screen, where it turns out that one point of magic into Trade equals one extra trade route.

So it happens that we've got to spin our wheels while waiting for the next event. We're in very good shape, high morale across the board and a burgeoning population. The only thing I don't like is that we've got too many hunters again and not enough crafters.

I'd like to suggest dropping the number of hunters and increasing the number of crafters for this season's actions. But there's trade and exploration to be had, so choose wisely.
>>
>>29877840
Where haven't we explored? Would it be feasible to hit the end season button until we get end game events, or is there more preparation we could do?
>>
>>29878179
There's always more preparation you can do. If nothing else, performing heroquests will provide passive boosts, we can continue recycling nobles, there are treasures to be found, and we can still try to open up Dwarf Mine.

This might be tough, both Elusu and the ancestors say that the Tricksters are innocent.

>>29883370
The ancestors just get pissy if you bug them about doing your own job. We're not expected to play supernatural detective.

>>29883393
That tends to happen for a while. The most important thing to keep in mind is to learn the right blessings and to build shrines to make them permanent. Truesword from Humakt, Calf Blessing from Uralda, Silvertongue from Issaries and Ernalda's Bless Crops are the ones you need most.

Heroquesting is meant to be deadly, to encourage you not to abuse it like you inevitably will. For best results, make sure that seven gods have representatives on your clan ring and that you put points into quests. Always use a devotee of the god you're questing for. Make sure that someone on the ring has a Magic stat of Renowned or Excellent at the very least.

I'm posting this to show how relations with the Colymar are worsening.

The Jenestni have done something to piss Orlanth off. Kentvent finds himself in a position to take advantage. He has Renowned Combat and Excellent Leadership.

And now trolls. This is getting sadly predictable. We might want to run a heroquest to strike a blow against the Dark clan, like Lhankor Mhy.

Karendra takes a knock, and now has to decide how she'll spend the rest of the battle. Heroic Combat.

Midway through the battle Karendra decides that she's not killing trolls fast enough, so she grabs a second sword to speed things up.

Not enough to stop, you understand, but in the general sense it's like kicking a puppy.

A vicious Chaos-spawned puppy, so maybe I shouldn't feel anything but glee.

Jositan's party meets bandits; remembering the success of the last time we picked bluff I tried it again and it worked. He's off to see the witch, the horrific witch-goddess of trolls.

Another request for magic, this time from a clan to whom we owe a favor. Do we pay it with magic, or with goods?

Keep in mind that we're near a feud with these guys.
>>
>>29887382
Somehow we have even more than we did last time, and we could afford to give generously then, so we can afford to give generously now.
>>
>>29887416
On the other hand, if we're nearly about to feud with these guys, fuck 'em. They can't have our secret sauce.
>>
>>29887382
Give more, we've got plenty and it never hurts to repay favors when we've got the chance.

We're still near to feuding with the Osgosi though.

Anyway, it's now Storm season. Since we've already done our heroquest for the year, another one in this season is likely to fail. I'd suggest enshrining the Lightning blessing, then exploration or trading for food.
>>
>>29887553
You didn't already have Lightning? Shit, no wonder we've been losing fights.

And yeah, get food. 2+ years is what you want.

Built the shrine, immediately see a raid from the Jenestni.

I like those forces. Very intimidating.

Our last action for the year is going to be sending a caravan to the ducks, from whom we will buy a ridiculous amount of food.

And that's the yea--SWEET EURMAL THAT'S A LOT OF NEW ADULTS.

That's it for this thread, we'll return in two days time, hopefully with an earlier start so we can get more done. Thanks for playing all, hope you've had fun.

I'll stick around for a bit to answer any questions you might have.

So Lightning might really have been the missing piece to our combat puzzle?
>>
>>29888175
I strongly suspect. Humakt the Champion gives a passive boost to your weaponthanes for two years, and I think Heroic Combatants give the same kind of effect. When we had both we won a lot of battles. When we lost several heroes and Humakt wore off, we went back to being at the mercy of the RNG.

Just a guess though. Lightning is one of the really good blessings though, so we should have had it earlier.
>>
Is there any way we can help the jenestni grow their numbers so we can have proper fights and stop dishonoring the gods?
>>
>>29887971
How do they even have anybody left?
>>
>>29888600
Making peace with the oathbreakers would give us something to do until end events...
>>
>>29888600
We could choose not to raid them for ten years.

>>29889067
Bullshit AI powers. When an AI clan sues for peace, it's because you've killed most of their warriors. If for whatever reason you don't accept their surrender, they have a chance of dissolving, moving their tula, or getting automatic reinforcements. Needless to say, they're most likely to get the reinforcements, which bolsters both their farmers and their thanes.

Is theere a way to run this on Windows 7?

Kentvent has probably strangled a Janestri bitch or two with his beard.
