Flying carpets don't need resupply or refueling. No bases or carriers needed!

Flying carpets don't need resupply or refueling. No bases or carriers needed!

Until we invent spells to summon new firebombs to serve as ammo, to make our troops not need to eat or drink, prevent 'being rained on for ten hours' from giving them hypothermia or 'being caught in the sun for ten hours' from giving them heatstroke, and figure out ways to keep them from getting tired and needing to sleep, we do, as a matter of fact, need bases and carriers.

SHUT UP YOUR LOGIC IN A MAGICAL VIDEOGAME.

That sounds like the quote of someone who has fallen to the darkside and voted for the ridiculous magical horse wings.

[Egan_BW]

Dammit how are people not voting for absurd horse wings do you not have joy in your hearts.

[evictedSaint]

It seems like Desert Winds is the winning vote.  Is that correct?

[Taricus]

Yes

[Egan_BW]

I would dispute that fact, but not successfully.

Design: Desert Winds [4, 2, 1]

In order to counter the bitter, biting cold Arstotzka has spread from their homeland, we design a spell that in turn push our warmth up from the desert and into the contested lands. 

Desert Wind is effective at moving the warm air from the south to the north.  This warm air causes what you'd normally expect from a warm front.  Clouds pool overhead and warm, light rains trickle down from above.  It effectively raises the temperature in the area by one degree.

Unfortunately this spell causes some major problems.  The air is pulled from the south ocean, causing tropical storms to wash over orur capitol.  The non-stop winds also pull up dust and sand from the desert, choking our lands and men.  The spell is also limited in that it can't reach to the northern tangia before the winds are exhausted.

The spell requires multiple wizards working in tandem on spell circles for several hours to cast, but it doesn't require al-Mutriqa at least. Very Expensive.

[Egan_BW]

Not as cool as mechawings.

I presume the bugs make using the spell unfeasible at the moment? If so, that's what revisions (now guaranteed to have at least some effect!) are for.

We should use our revision to fix the bugs with Desert Winds. I'll write up a thing describing how later.

[Madman198237]

Yes to the revision for Desert Winds.

Revise Desert Winds: (2) NUKE9.13, Madman198237

[evictedSaint]

What are you revising about the winds?  I need more than just "revise".

Revision:

Desert Winds - Breeze Equilibrium: Our mastery over the winds has given birth to a new science in Moskurg, one that its practitioners call 'Meteorology'. God knows why, it has nothing to do with meteors. Anyway, these 'Meteorologists' claim to have gained a substantial understanding of how the flow of air through the sky works, and how it affects the weather. So we turn to them to find out if their theories are worth anything. They shall create charts of little lines with teeth, coloured in blue and red, that show our weather mages from where they can safely draw hot air, and where to send air in the other direction to prevent the massive storms otherwise caused by the spell.
This will -hopefully- fix the 'massive storms' bug, making it possible to deploy the spell without wrecking our infrastructure at home.
