Looks like you should put in a 48 hour limit to keep people active

Just my 2 cents

I oppose this idea on the basis of some of us having things come up and this game being one that by necessity requires time for diplomancing anyway.

[Culise]

With most of my diplomancing complete, I noticed a minor issue in my orders and stats.

Spoiler: Stat-related spoilers (click to show/hide)

My turn order results seem to specify that I'm sending Silver to Istania in return for Gold, and Gold to Rantessa in return for Pepper.  My turn stats state that I'm sending nothing to Istania (though I'm still losing the Diplo points; any gain in Econ Size is unlisted), and Silk to Rantessa in return for Pepper.  Judging by my turn orders, and including the Avezol trade which is untouched, is this a reasonable assessment of the actual condition of trade in Serica?  Also, is the Istania trade included in my economy, or does my being over the cap eliminate any Economic bonuses? 

Domestic Production: Gold, Silk, Pottery, Tin
>Avezol: Pottery for Silver (+168 Econ)
>Istania: Silver for Gold (+0 Econ)
>Rantessa: Gold for Pepper (+165 Econ)
Remaining Goods: Gold, Silk, Pepper, Tin

Alright, I've gone ahead and fixed it; GM error on my part. You are now sending Gold to Rantessa (+166 econ), Pottery to Avezol (+168 econ), and Silk to Istania (+168 econ). Your remaining good is Tin, since the stuff they're sending to you is via trade route, not exchange. I've increased your econ size by 169 and fixed some things I missed on your sheet; also, yes, Istania's trade does increase your economy, even though you're over the trade route limit. Though more trade routes my have other disadvantages, the only disadvantage for being one over your limit is the diplo power penalty. Thanks for letting me know.

...Hold on a minute, I know who did the assassinations!

And to the scumbag nation behind it: Your ass is grazing land after we're through with you.

[Rolepgeek]

You mean the only nation for whom assassination and espionage comes naturally to like a fifth of their population?

[Taricus]

First, it's only a tenth, and second, it's familicide

Besides, can't have been me, I don't have a border with Serica and it would've been too much work that was too vulnerable in order to even try sneaking spies in there. There's only two people that could've done this, based on the borders, and I reckon it wasn't you.

[Rolepgeek]

Been a bit too busy with other things to bother trying to make people pissed off at me. >.>

Sidenote: I was talking about Salatia, actually...

[Taricus]

Well, people other than me pissed

And I doubt Salatia did it since they lack a border with Xantheria.

[Rolepgeek]

Oh you're thinking Rantessa did it?

Huh. I would not have guessed that. Especially since any nation on the coast effectively shares a border with every other nation on the coast, if they have half-decent ships.

Anyway. GM, you said advisers can be used for things other than passive power generation, right? What can a Theologian be used for?

And are we able to purposefully try to get more Advisors?

He's a religious dude, so you can use him to peacefully calm unrest and/or spread religion, reform your religion, that sorta thing.

You CAN try to purposefully get more advisors, but it's not that effective. Education programs, academies, and universities are much more efficient.

[Rolepgeek]

Okay, cool.

Also, is there a reason my Gold doesn't say it's part of the Trade Route?

Also, are there ways to make it so things other than Wealth are used to pay for actions?

[Taricus]

Depends on the actions really. So if you want to use resources, start building!

[Rolepgeek]

I tried. >.>

Bloody administrative corruption.

[Taricus]

XD

Serves you right for starting a theocracy :3

[Rolepgeek]

Oi

Theocracies are supposed to be free of corruption

Priestesses are supposed to have high moral standing

Bloody damnit

I blame Rakdar

Also I need money so I'm trying to figure out how I can keep the Stone I'm getting while using the Gems in a trade route...can I ask in approximately what order different things give economic bonuses for trade routes(since I would think that, say, Lumber doesn't give as much wealth gain from this as things like Gold or Silver do).

Also I'm wondering what can use Manpower as the primary cost resource...

and question: Does income happen before or after actions?
