I have a couple questions 10ebbor: Was that basalt find a one-time bonus thingy, or is it an actual resource I can exploit? If so, do I need mining to do so, or can I make use of it now? (If I can, I was thinking of replacing the resource gatherers with stonemasons in that case)

[evilcherry]

ebbor please check my production figures again. I saw no Innovation points gain, and I only got 2 production instead of 6 (or is it because animals produce nothing in Winter?)

[RulerOfNothing]

Regarding tryrar's request, am I allowed to send geologists or whatever to help discover mineral deposits, and if so how much would it cost me?

[10ebbor10]

10ebbor10, fix quotes in the post

Also, I think it will much less confusing if you'll write something like cost of the next idea unlock = X innovation points than current "X left to unlock"

Uhm, it's already written that way. Apparently there was some confusion surrounding that.

And I want to know, are there any pointy to request new ideas to be added to the list?

I rather miss Astronomy\Astrology and Mathematics

It's possible add new ideas. Will add those as soon as I have a correct benefit.

Actual resoucre, no mining needed. Mining means you can build mines at will, rather than requiring a surface deposit.

Production was wrong, but you did get innovation points.

You'd need to send an actual unit to said location, which would need 1 turn to get there, during which it is of no assistence.

Well , for astronomy I wanted to get star navigation, something that nation of sailors would benefit from. + bonus to divination, school of magic I may invest in

As for Mathematics at this stage it can give only passive benefit to engineering, physics, sociology and probably magical teleportation

Uhm, it's already written that way. Apparently there was some confusion surrounding that.

You mean that I can get one idea for 2, and he next one will cost 4? Sorry, I got rather confused with the change of the science rules

[10ebbor10]

Yes.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Then another question: can I unlock two ideas during one turn if I have enough invention points?

[10ebbor10]

Can't see why not.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

What Foraging  does? Does it mean that I will be able to use fleets for free as long as they return at home each turn?

[10ebbor10]

No. (Though I don't think I've ever subtracted maintenance costs for that. )

It's to sustain things like blockades and that, but those aren't likely to happen till near the end game.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

OK, what about sustained piracy campaign like I planned? That one requires maintenance, right? Or am I overpaying here?

[10ebbor10]

Yes. First turn would be free, and if you have enough revenue, it might start to pay for itself. (All depends on the rolls though.)

[RulerOfNothing]

What's the progress on the next turn?

[10ebbor10]

Little to none. Lack of time and motivation can be said as being the main problems.

[10ebbor10]

Most of you probably already noticed this, but there won't be no next turn. The game, at this point, is a mess of conflicting mechanics, kept functional merely by constant rule rewrites. It's not fun to GM like this, and while I could probably drag the game out longer, it's no fun in a game where the status quo is maintained by rapid rule rewrites.
