You as a player have four, your henchdwarves give one extra per dwarf.

Give Etur 5 kittens and tell him to exchange them for a barrel of booze - preferably champagne. The winners have to bathe in something after the race is over, don't we?

Boars! Boars! Boars are better than Eagles! Boars are MANLY, DELICIOUS, VICIOUS and UNPREDICTABLE. For the honor of the Boozerbear clan, we WILL win! AGGRESSIVE DRIVIIIING! My Hench-Dwarves will try and help by lobbing whatever useless supplies we have at our dreaded Eagle-riding nemesis! (Rocks, tankards, painful things)

Thanks for the cheering, however! Glorious! You have earned yourself a stalwart ally!

((@zomara: Wouldn't it be more logical just to put all these cats to work? I mean, I've got 22 healthy cats and an injured one in the harness, and I have 4 speed already.

On a side note, I have a strong gut feeling that tinkering with engines will, as a rule, allow the players to immediately give themselves extra speed; the reason the cat owners were the first to discover it is just because cat engines are upgrading themselves on the fly.

What do you say, Person? Is "you'll get speed upgrades for working on your engines" the message you wished to convey by giving me 2 speed so, if you will pardon the bluntness, unexpectedly?
Because I'm looking forward to our next race very much if this is correct. When your speed depends more on your rolls and imagination than on how expensive your engine is... well, let's just say everyone will have a fighting chance this way. Which will, in turn, let me use the full power of my build without getting pangs of conscience. :P))

((I am guessing that switching out the engine will cause me to pause for a moment on a mid-roll, which I cant afford if I don't want last place.))

4 speed is about the maximum you can go with basic cats. Any more and it just improves the chances of the entire engine not dying when hit. There will of course be ways to upgrade other engines. For example, Caerwyn could put his boars on some sort of training regimen between races to improve their muscles. The whole thing is fairly free form, but the past games have never been able to complete 2 races in a row. I also guarantee that speed won't be the only thing that matters in the next race. :)

Use my angle of trajectory to slam into Caerwyn's cart, perhaps losing him traction in respect to mine! Sprint [Aggressive drive] towards the finishline!

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

I won't deny that. At all. But, maybe we could become pals? I'll be the "Bash and rough up everybody", and you be the "First place, all day, everyday" guy?

Raisins are the disgusting, filthy dropping from the Glorious King Grape. It is an INSULT to place them on a delicious, wholesome, delicate pastry!
