I could certainly look into cotton beer at some point.  Need to get diplomancers first, though.  o_o

Spoiler: A letter from the Brimstone republic to our good friends in the The Alliance of Revakn(Tiruin). Packed along with the letter are several wrapped dye breads, and dye wines. (click to show/hide)

{Yum, breads and other pastries \o/}

Spoiler: A Response (click to show/hide)

Wrapped along a cordial letter of thanks, greetings, and other pleasantries is a long loaf of bread, alongside a very finely crafted spear. Attached is the note of trading technology--better knives and otherwise for better baking ingredients and culinary secrets!

Also the request for the secret of probably edible bread rations, for once!

OOC: I'll be saving it for later x.x sorry, Empire got my moneys.

Also, The Alliance of Revakn has unlocked Weaponsmithing I. Only 350 to buy, for all those in trade with them.

I should totally attack Owldale S because the EMPIRE ARE JERKS and don't want to ever go back on their 'pay us much money, we own EVERYTHING, there is no "wilderness", just OUR LANDS'

[Kashyyk]

Oh good, I was worried I was being too subtle with the Imperial dickishness

[Nirur Torir]

There is no winning a fight against bureaucrats with mere words. Only highly paid lawyers and a through study of thousands of years of tax law can succeed.

I'd get right on that, but I have a magic despot to crush with an unending tide of unarmed farmers first.

[Iituem]

Gosh, you convinced the unarmed farmers to fight?  I have to convince them to even become farmers, they're too used to being livestock!

[Nirur Torir]

Oh, yes, there's a trick to it. The secret is not being a delicious prey species.

Hey Kashyyk, is money able to be transferred on the turn a trade route is established?

[Kashyyk]

Hey Kashyyk, is money able to be transferred on the turn a trade route is established?

It can be transferred from the turn after.


On that theme, and as we are at the point where it is now relevant: A Caravan must spend a full turn in a territory in order to complete it's mission, and as part of that action a trade route may be established.

Spoiler: Letter to Talarys Revande (click to show/hide)

Esteemed Alliance Leader Talarys Revande,

The rumours of dangerous occurrences have now passed into South Owldale and threaten both of our borders.  While I do respect your claim to the land, I won't sit idly by when a threat rears its head to my people.  I would like to propose a joint attack on South Owldale this season; both of our forces will come together to attack whatever threat lies within and clear it out.  We will, of course, cede you South Owldale itself and all its associated earnings and properties, but we request the right of salvage to whatever forces are causing these strange occurrences and any magic or technology therein.  Given that we would be expending valuable pigs in what is essentially your service, it would seem only fair.

What say you to this proposition?  I am prepared to talk precise numbers of troops if a preliminary agreement can be reached.

The Finest Regards,

Princess Gruntsnuffle of the House of Suidae
Principality of Pork

Once a trade route is established, assuming everyone agrees, does that instantly start trade with everyone on the chain? Or does it need something like a turn per person to establish? Like uh. Once The Alliance of Revakn and The Kingdom of Yorturim establish trade with the Storm Empire, which I guess will take 2ish turns (happens at the end of two turns, sorta three turns) can they immediately start trading with each other at the same time? (and also the Kingdom of the Corax and the Brimstone republic?)

[Nirur Torir]

Already answered: New trade has to slowly crawl up the links; it's not an instant web of money.

A question on trade networks: Are they all linked? That is, if players are in a line such as: A <=> B <=> C <=> D, and I start trading with A, do I have to trade with only one more per turn, or can I trade with everyone A has trade with after one turn of trading with A?

If A isn't directly trading with C or D, you would have to open a trade route with B first. But If A is also trading with E & F, you can open trade routes with them at the same time.

[Criptfeind]

Ah. Thanks.

[Terenos]

I have a question. If someone sets up a trade route via caravan, and then tragically dies..Does their conqueror get the route?

[Kashyyk]

If either end territory of a trade route is conquered, then the trade route will be dissolved.
