Move on, and apply some salve to the burned areas.

Start an even more painful, long campaign!

[Pnx]

If i got "Elves destroy your tula : Game over" event, i'd be fine calling it. This is losing the game for an event worth 50 goods. I would be happy to give away all of my ring for the king alone. He will win us the game.

Doesn't actually happen with elves (they're guerilla fighters), they've got a fairly wide variety of events to make you miserable though.

THORNYVINE CHESTBURSTERS.

* Haspen gets them at least twice per game.

What doesn't cost me ring members, doesn't stop me. 

It's actually an obvious strategy to recommend. The only reliable resource are your ring members. The cows will die, the people will leave, the gods will predict bullshit.. The ring member skills are reliable. That Renowned in 3 attributes is worth a thousand cows.

The game will occasionally STILL go "Lolz snakeyes", but it's less often with high skill ring.
You can improve them too, remember that our leader had what.. very good leadership and nothing else?
What happened after the Storm Tribe quest was a chain of events resolved with out poet skills. Paying for the investment.

Invest in the ring -> Proffit.

I just found out what happens if you recover the cows your trickster gives away: they turn out to be infected with chaos.

Tricksters really are the way to get good things at this game.

[Pnx]

He told you they were funny looking!

[MetalSlimeHunt]

There's only a chance they're infected with chaos. Sometimes tricksters are just assholes.

That said, I think that had Tad's trickster not died he would not be in this situation.

Start a long campaign and go for having a queen this time.

[Pnx]

The ending events can be kind of weird if you've got a queen, IIRC you try to marry the feathered horse queen, and it sometimes treats you like you're a king, but at the end you're marrying a horse king that comes out of nowhere.

[Remuthra]

Start a long campaign and go for having a queen this time.

In this case, let's try for something more specific.

Make the follower of Vinga which is brought before you raised on a shield or somesuch in a random event Queen of Dragon Pass.

[mainiac]

That sounds pretty neat.

[FritzPL]

Stworca you have the most amazing fucking accent I have ever heard. I literally had my jaw drop when I heard you talking and I goddamn almost jizzed my pants. I beg you make more of those or release an audiobook or something

In my experience tricksters provide a safe, middle road solution to a lot of the games problems.  Like the rock runner infestation, they can just keep leading them away year after year.  Or the wyrm, how they can pretty much 100% of the time gamble it out of some of it's horde, not as much as you'd get if you killed it but it is at least something.  Hell in my game, my trickster defiled one of my temples and I asked him to just move the objects to an enemies temple.  I got blessed by eurmal and the god of the temple as well as a ton of magic.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I have to say, Eurmal is probably the best of the gods. Probably one of the only deities in fiction to have invented both sex and death. Not reproduction either, just the sex part.

Frankly, he'd probably be the main deity instead of Orlanth if he took his role seriously at all, but then he just wouldn't be Eurmal.

[Stworca]

But Eurmal has the damn "Replace half of your ring or be fucked" event that costs you two game turns (to replace them, and then to bring them back) and i'm not even 100% sure if that works.
Tricksters lead to feuds, and i've lost to the dragon gambling in my first game. Lost hard.

To be fair, I tend to have a really bad string of running into random shamans who tell me to do worse things.  This game really is a 'fuck you you lose' game.  Which makes it fun haha
