I guess it's just backlash from the anarchy of Steelhold's "organisation". Plus, there does seem to be a lot of levers in Demongate.
Do you think it the three hospitals (of which only one was properly equipped, except I never filled the cistern...) were the straw that broke the camel's back? Or perhaps it was the functionless ventilation shafts that ended up serving as very inefficient pathways from a dining hall to a residential area/Gratuitous Church of Zane?
My biggest regret from my turn was I never did find the time to construct a device to purge the fortress with sea water. It would have been a
great way for the fort to die. Vampire tantrum spirals just didn't seem... clusterfucky enough for Steelhold.
Also yeah, as much as it pains me to say it, we're going to have to start enforcing turn time limits eventually. How much longer do we want to give Archmage? Turn definately shouldn't be reverted because of engineering shennanigans being generally good if we end it prematurely, so I guess in that case we'd just do what we did with Rhaken/4mask?
On that note, my exams are comming up and then come summer I'll be without internet, so I'm probably going to have to be skipped indefinitely. Hopefully the fort will still be here after July - I could get a few days off to mess around with it. But in the (much more likely) event that the fortress dies horribly before then, I suppose I'll just hope it didn't end up being Vlad's fault.
