The big question is if we can use these from our ships. If so they're going to have a FUN time dealing with our new 'aircraft carriers'

Extension: firebomb grenades.  These grenades evolved frrom the fireshells. They can be easily thrown and due to their divine streamlined design they are quite acurate.

[Devastator]

I think the big question is if they can take out cannon..

I believe that Firestorm Grenades are already cheap. Using an expense credit on them wouldn't help much. Whereas the carpets are Very Expensive, and getting them down to merely Expensive would be very useful.

Er Thats for the Expense credit...

Revision: Fixed Carpets: [3]
We experiment with several methods of fixing the flipping issue of our carpets.  We try chairs tied to the carpet, belts, hand-rails, safety cables, and a few other methods that all end up failing.

Then we try rolling up the carpet and riding it like a horse.

This ends up working surprisingly well; the mage can attach a saddle to the carpet, and they have a better center of gravity from this position.  It's actually pretty comfortable to ride!  Using this method the mage can then safely cast Gust of Wind to gently blow himself around the battlefield.  The "Pegasus", as our men have jokingly started calling it, can be equipped with a saddlebag filled with Firestorm Grenades and dropped from above.  This is terribly inaccurate, but great for harassing enemy troops.  The maximum height of the carpet is about 3/4 the maximum height of a longbow shot straight up, so it's not perfectly safe.  The slow and second-hand nature of navigation also means the mage is poor at dodging enemy arrows; they should be safe, so long as they don't fire en-mass (or use a highly-trained elite sniper).  We can deploy three or so per theatre, due to the expensive nature of the enchantments and manufacture of the rug.  Very Expensive.

Update will have to be later tonight, I'm afraid.  I can't really handle "3 phases a day" any more, so I'll probably try to do a design and revision one day and the combat phase the next.  It gives me time to mull over all the nuances of the combat.

I almost feel like this goes without saying, but take your time, you know? I (presumably we) really appreciate your efforts- can't complain if the updates are merely fast as opposed to lightning-speed.

We do not need to do anything with the grenades-they're far more plentiful than the carpets. So, Expense Chip the carpets, make them slightly more plentiful. Maybe we can eventually get cheap flying machines...It'd be hilarious.

[evictedSaint]

Yeah, you guys got extremely lucky with your firestorm shells and firestorm grenades order.  Probably the best two rolls in the game.

[Madman198237]

Yeah, but some terrible GM came along and forced us to not get super-powerful shells of death with a single roll.

It was terrible.

[evictedSaint]

Yeah...turns out letting a side get a mundane Wand of Fireballs with even greater range and expense level all in one turn is pretty unbalanced.

[Madman198237]

Wait what? I was telling a joke, not sure what you're talking about or where it came from. Backstory please?

Originally the Firestorm shells had the same AOE as the big fireball spell the other side has. This proved extremely painful for the other side, and so they wailed for mercy. And then the game master looked upon what he'd done, and said 'Well, they do have a point'.

As such, the Firestorm Shells were nerfed so they no longer had an AOE fit to slay entire squads of ten or twenty men in a single blow.

That's when people on our side started the wailing, but really... they did have a point.
