I think the human wealth levels are wrong.
Do I need to wait until next turn to finish my exploration action, or did their moves get replenished as a first turn bonus?
Will the military patrols uncover any secret points of interest?
Are the patrols specifically for housed soldiers, or will soldiers camped in a town (or in the wilderness) patrol?

* Good catch on the wealth. Had to redo some stuff and forgot to redo the sacrifices.
* Yeah, all the scouting teams returned to base instantly this turn because I wasn't clear about how that should work ahead of time. Won't happen again.
* Patrols would be along supply lines, you mean? If you manage to build a road on top of a POI and fill it with dudes, well... Anything "hidden" is hidden well enough that the Scouting Team didn't notice it while actively looking, but if you build a road on top of a POI and staff it with dudes, I'd give a reasonable chance per turn that someone stumbles across it.

No, I mean the patrols from having soldiers in a town, protecting from ambushes.

If you built a town on top of a POI, probably someone would notice, yeah.


The mission to clear the mountain pass guard tower won with 4 3 votes. Of the other four options, three had 2 votes. Dang close.
Since the mission area is in the Inner Circle area, we'll just... ignore the rations you need for travelling. If you want to stay at the mission site for more than a couple days, you'll need to bring some with you.
Since the adventurers aren't officially staying with one of the Civs right now, you'll be receiving no support from them for this mission.

The sessions will usually start at 7PM CST, but after a bit of poking around concerning schedules, for werty's sake I'd like to move this week's session start time forward to 5:30 (the time I put the server up for the connection test last Sunday). I'll start the server a while beforehand, and the civ players are welcome to show up. Are any of the D&D group not able to make it for that?

[My Name is Immaterial]

Works just fine for me.

I notice that the poll is set to expire. IIRC, once a poll expires on this forum software, it can never be touched again.

I haf FIXED it!
Hee hee hee.

Sorry I took so long to post, I was pondering my decisions.  I decided to ponder less and take actions now so I don't hold things up.

GM questions: Which population do crafters draw their market from? Just the town/city, or is it empire-wide?
If I have 240 people and sacrifice for 250, can I immediately convert 25 instead of 24?
If I have a full city, and buy crafters on the same turn I build their houses, do they earn money or do they idle?
Groups are free to take food and materials from adjacent towns and supply lines, right? Can they full load up, or is it restricted to what they're using now?
When do horses from a stable expire?

Omeganaut:
The Scouting Team is a physical unit. Sending soldiers with them isn't needed, is risky, and makes them a bit slower.
You're only using 27k wealth, of 28k. There's probably no reason to save that last thousand at this stage. (Trading very likely requires physically carrying the wealth, which would give you a turn to get it.)
You can't convert more than 10% of your population/turn, which is either 20 or 22 depending on Shoruke's answer to the above.

Just that town,
25,
they craft,
I'm not sure I understand the question but I think the answer is yes,
When the pop reaches their destination and then tries to move again.

I send my Scouting Party to the North west, Three Tiles.

Could have sworn I mentioned that movement does not use diagonals.

Take 20 laborers and 20 soldiers, go 2 spaces north-west, and create a settlement.

You'll probably want to specify how much food and materials those guys are bringing with them. For a start, 40 people can't carry 3,000 Materials with them.

The Hills of Technology
Build a road one tile to the south.

How much pop are you sending?
How much food/Materials are they bringing?

Send Scouting Team of 5 soldiers NW to Mountain Pass Tower

This action is... confusing.
Scouting teams are considered entirely separate from pop, they don't even consume food, and are listed separately in your towns.
I guess you could send soldiers as "scouts" to gauge an enemy's CR, but they would do it by fighting and getting thoroughly wrecked.
The Mountain Pass Tower is actually northeast of BadJack...
And the adventurers are already going there. Unless they fail hard, they'll probably just take care of that for you.
Although this action is not just valid but clever, in a Drunk-Fu kind of way, in that if/when the adventurers do manage to take the Guard Tower, then you've already got people manning it.

<absolutely nothing in the last 10 days>

You really aught to bother participating in games you sign up for. If you haven't posted an action by midday Monday, I'll consider that your resignation from the game.

Urist McDwarf: Why are you keeping so much wealth in reserve? You get more wealth income for spending it.
If you're saving materials for something, you might want to get your laborers started on it, since they'll take a while to build.

Shoruke: What's with Urist's settlement costs? Are settlements built house-by-house instead of all at once?
May I take Urlance's turn if he doesn't show up, and govern his town until someone claims it?

[Omeganaut]

Sorry, I thought scouting groups were made of soldiers.  You didn't specify that scouting groups were independent agents that were separate from population.  In that case, no soldiers on the scout.  And I did mix up east and west there, sorry.  I'll try to double check my directions so I don't do that again.

Well, you can't build a house if you don't have the materials for it, right? He's got only a few of the materials there, so he can only get so much of the work done.

As for you governing a second town... ehh...
...My first instinct is to run it myself on GM Autopilot. I open to having my mind changed if the other members of the community don't mind. Thoughts, everyone? Anyone willing to vote yea/nay for Nirur (temporarily?) controlling two civs?

Why is he controlling 2 civs?

Also towns that are GM run should be opt in.

Edit: Never mind on the second part read the post wrong.

Urist's New Settlements:
Still Under Construction.
20 / 500 Materials
2 / 50 CP

Settlements cost more than that.

How much does a human settlement cost? It's not completely clear if it counts as 1.25x "other city project" or not(or if it gets the 1.5x from housing since most of its cost is from houses).

I offered in an attempt to stave off "nobody wants to join and now I'm running two players, why am I even bothering with this" syndrome.
