[soundtrack="Fighting For Strangers"]Good wages and a lifelong skillset? Where do I sign up?! [/soundtrack]

Stafalints extends an offer of generosity, and are willing to offer financial support to the Erliwins in the form of food in case of a poor harvest. There is no need to repay us in any way for this, we are doing this out of compassion and generosity for our fellow clanmates. We would also like to also remind both them and the Berns to vote on the clan matter still unresolved as well.

Erliwins vote with the Stafalints: newcomers may stay, but closer attention should be paid to them, until their allegiance is proven.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

A1s, I kinda expect an acre of farmland for accepting the apprentice, would like to see it in your turn... Well, most likely the kid will go to the army anyway...

I just want to bring number of my farmlands to a nice 16 and stop gaining land for some time

[TopHat]

I'm assuming that's 2 silver a year. I'm also assuming that that should be profitable, with luck.
Also, I'm assuming that weaving is a trade, and can be done as such. Oh, and one final thing, what is the 'average' amount of money someone should get from practicing a trade?

Spoiler: The Family Feurbach - Turn 3 (click to show/hide)

Nathaniel will marry..... *thinks* Cersai. Because I don't need more land and I'd rather not have him marry someone half his age.
They will hire two farmhands to work the fields and look after the cow (for as long as they can afford it).

Anyway, the turn:
1.
Nat - Logging
Cersai - Weaving
2.
Nat - Logging
Cer - Have baby
3.
Nat - Logging
Cer - have baby*
4.
Nat - Logging
Cer - weaving
5.
Nat - Explore
Cer - weaving
6. Same
7. Same
8. Same
9. Same (Nat returns)
10.
Nat - Clear fields
Cer - Weaving.
*ONLY if unsuccessful the first time (and survived) If the first birth was successful, Cer will weave.
N.B. If, again, both babies are fail and she survives, Cer will (try to) have a baby in year 4.

Oh, a final question or two - just *how* dangerous is logging?
And do you need to feed exploring people?
Also, Do the traders have anything of interest to buy?

Not that I'm doing very well in this game, but I think a 40 year old bride means you won't have any children, and your dynasty will end...

Medieval times guys, but yeah you can still have children till the age of 55 and even beyond but its far more dangerous and i will roll whether you die giving birth.

[Ghazkull]

The caravan has almost everything you could find in the Iron Age so go wild on whatt you want to buy.

Also Tophat, there is a chance of 1/3 that your wife will die giving birth and another 1/3 chance taht the child willd ie with her

[TopHat]

I'll take that risk *added a proviso into action*
Does the caravan have any (better than we already have) logging equipment?
If so, how much is it going for?

[Ghazkull]

no better logging equipment but you can buy a team of oxen to pull the trees out of the forest, its faster and gets you more money. Building a sawmill allows you to hire your own lumberjacks.

[TopHat]

How much do the oxen cost?
How long would it take / how much would it cost to set up a sawmill?

[Ghazkull]

An Oxen costs 5 Silver.

Building it yourself would take four years, with a chance of failure. You can also contract a Blacksmith and a Carpenter to do the job for you that would take considerably less time.

[Taricus]

Sawpit, Ghaz. Iron age germany, remember? We don't really have much in the way of a mill that uses anything other than muscle power...

[TopHat]

Buy two Oxen

[Nerjin]

Posting to watch and to ask if there is a wait-list of some sort available.

[a1s]

*bump*
I know it's been less than a day, but we had a really good pace, and I'm wondering what's going on.

[a1s]

now I am worried.
