Lots of discussion last night. Several good points.

Revise
Make Gust of wind more powerful []:
Better Troop Lamellar [1]: Mardent23.
Quickened Tubikh Rrahim [3]: Kashyyk, Taricus, Devastator
Make a Ballista design that does not self destruct when used [3]: Happerry, NUKE9.13, S34N1C
Expense Credit
Ballista [1]: Kashyyk
Elite Armor [1]: S34N1C

[NUKE9.13]

Sure, but I just want this to be over.  Move me over [to Ballista] if that vote will switch the decision from Quickened Antimagic.  Don't create another tie.

Greetings, Strong Moskurg!  Just writing to say I'm heading back from China next week and had a day off today, so I caught up with the thread.  Wow!  It's really nice to see how well this has been going, and I tip my hat to Saint for being such a grand GM.  In fact, just in case there was any doubt about it, I'll be leaving this with Saint (because in a real way it's their rather awesome game now) and starting up some other game when I get back.  Until then, however, glory to Moskurg!

[Taricus]

GLORY TO MOSKURG. Unless you've also said the same to Arstotzka thus we'll have to kill you for being a evil arstotzkan

[S34N1C]

He's just a two faced liar! He posted in the Arstotzka thread too! Begone, infidel!!


Seriously though, good to see you

Revision: Better Ballista [6]

Most of the changes we make to the ballista are relatively simple.  A one-way gearing on the draw crank lets the engineer set the bowstring without fear of breaking his arms.  Metal splints brace the arms, taking a good deal of strain off the wooden components allowing them to last long enough that maintainance outside of battle will keep them operational.  We've also discovered that the reason it will spontaneously deconstruct is because the ammunition will occasionally be loaded off-center, nicking the frame and causing it to shatter.  This is fixed by improving the guides, which has an extra benefit of allowing the projectile to fly slightly more accurately. 

As an added bonus, wheels are added to the frame.  This lets us wheel the device into position and begin firing without having to set up first, meaning it can now be used on the offensive.

The ballista is still complicated to produce and training takes a long time, but at least they don't randomly blow up any more.  Very Expensive.

This is without using the expense credit? If so, we're using it on the armour!

My mistake, sorry.  It is still very expensive.

[Taricus]

Aw bum. Well at least we got wheels for it instead!

Hmmm... Anyone thinking we should make proper medieval tanks?

Our ballista revision went great!  Lets not make it cheaper!

Dammit guys, lets do the right thing here.

Good job on us improving the thing we're about to make cheaper, then.  That might have made sense..

[Happerry]

Voting for armor this time because we really need the better armor for everyone.
