I dislike our odds with this technology. We already defeated one set of gods, now it is time to slay the dice!

0: Land(Relic):
0: Sea(deprive wood or lose ore):
1: Nothing(march on the heavens, slay the dice!): RAM

On a more serious note. A win at sea deprives someone of a resource. While the relic is more valuable, unless we get crushed utterly(not impossible) there should be no resource change, so we can wait?

By the way, if you gather enough votes I would love to start writing the turn 2,3 hours, even if I can't finish it.

But our temple onlywork on land and if not it's the only placce it worth something

I leave the determination of worth to you, but I will confirm that the temple floats above water as well as it does above land.

Turn out, design time. Your soldiers would like to have something to help dealing with commonplace armor and giant birds, or to get more of the few things they have that are effective already.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Flames of Horus - Using the knowledge of the Sun Staff, we mount six of them within a triad of thick discs, one just behind the area that fires, one in the middle, and one at the back.  The middle and backmost are placed on the inside of a wheel that is grooved to let them spin inside.  An S-shaped handle is attached to the back of the backmost disc that allows for an operator to spin the contraption, and a wedge is placed in the right area to activate a Sun Staff as it passes by, to fire when it reaches the apex.  This contraption is carried on the back of a "War" Chariot, attached via another free-spinning disc construct so the weapon can be turned to face different areas of the battlefield easily.

A poor man's gatling gun.  Should give us more XP on the Sun Staff, and since it doesn't use any new alien tech, if we remove the [Alien] tag from the sun staff, this will lose it as well.

[Doomblade187]

I vote that for the revision we fix the chariot.

[RAM]

But that would only increase the rate-of-fire. Wouldn't we get the same effect from removing the alien tag?

[Doomblade187]

True.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

But that would only increase the rate-of-fire. Wouldn't we get the same effect from removing the alien tag?

While it is true that while volume of fire would increase, we would not be getting the same effect.  Think of our existing staffs are basically single-shot bolt action rifles, with the cool down serving as a stand-in for reload time.  While effective, it isn't the same scale of effect as a gatling gun.

Oh, and future idea: while this is small enough to be operated by one guy when it is deployed, in the future we could have a team using a similar aparatus to fire Staff Cannons like this.

It is probably time to start a votebox, so we can have a turn on monday-

[Atomic Chicken]

Well then, may as well get the ball rolling.
