All 10 Cait Sith workers are working on Magical Flight this turn.

If it doesn't work that way, we'll sure to get a bunch of Magic Research this turn. If it does work, we can focus on Magic to build Houses. That's FP for you each time we build more, not to mention FP whenever we make more workers, or train people in magic.

Keep in mind that you don't even have Simple Spells researched yet.  You're in the stone age, magically speaking.

Another thing of concern: Malvol appears to demand bloodshed. The Jotun Oligarchy's newly created orchard was not protected, so the last thing the Giants wanted to do was upset any god - let alone the most bloodthirsty one of them all! After some discussion it is decided that one of them would travel to the battleground that Malvol created and fight for his amusement.
It's a gift with a cost (or hopefully a gift worth a small ongoing conflict), not a demand for sacrifices. Forage and fight, not stand there looking for a fight.

K then..

Having Communed with Izzith, the god of Magic, the Cait Sith realize the work they have yet to do.

Therefore, new orders are handed out, to everyone's sadness.

Cait Sith
2 pick up the crude spears to fish at J-1,
Another 2 pick up crude spears to fish at K-1.

Meanwhile, 1 worker researches Simple Spells
5 workers research to advance their knowledge of Magical Theory to the next level.




Also, I really only have Flight, and Creature Taming on my wish-list. But if I need a circle to get it, then by Yggdrasil I'm going to get it!


And I don't really want it added to a tile, but all Cait Sith. Which is obviously going to take a lot of work for us to do.

Also, on what conditions does Izzith gain FP from us?

I recommend having explicit instructions in your orders, such as "X workers do X at X with X".  Leaving vague orders lets me interpret them in stupid ways.  Also, if you put more workers than needed into researching or building something, the excess workers will not automatically go and do something else productive.  There is a chance that they will pick lint from their navels or take naps.  You can't order workers to do something if something happens, either.  So, "10 workers research whatever, then any leftover workers research somethingelse"  will not necessarily result in "somethingelse" getting researched.

When researching techs, and you have something like "3 of ?" researched, you have to make a guess at what the ? is.  If you guess wrong, and put more workers than is needed, you might end up wasting labor.  That is by design, and there's no way to make sure that excess workers do what you want.

15FP for adding a second trait sounds good in this context because it is a tile improvement, which another god can take away by removing the tile.

What would it cost to add a second trait to a civilization, not from visiting tiles but like having a second inherent trait? That was what I think Cait Sith was trying to do and why I ballparked it to around 50.

So we're talking about a super powerful artifact or land that adds a new useful trait to an entire civ?  How about we say, 30 FP to add the second trait, then doubled after that to 60 for the third, 120 for the fourth.  For a one-shot artifact or land.

I'm kinda hoping for Mabel and Blarg to pitch in too.
I'm not really sure what your wanting me to pitch in on, and I probably won't have enough FP to help with what your wanting to achieve for a while.

Eh, that will do.

And it's Flight, specifically the flight from Alfheim, the Wings of Light/Mana.


Also, to actually use such an artifact, you should need your entire civilization using it.
That way you need enough food to perform such an action.

Since it would be to add a second trait to the race.

The worker enters C3 with death on his mind.  He finds a pack of dire wolves, as expected.  However, strangely, they don't attack, but run from the giant!
The giant gives chase.  The wolves lead the giant to a hilltop.  There, standing defiantly on the hilltop and clutching a spear, is a scarred and tattooed man.  He pets the wolves, clearly friendly with them.  Tattooed on his chest is a potato suckling at a wolf's teat!
"You desire death then, giant?" says the tattooed warrior.  "Very well, I am happy to oblige!"  And he charges!
An epic battle ensues!  The tattooed warrior is too fast and skilled for the giant!  Eventually, the giant, bleeding from multiple pricks of the spear, becomes exhausted.  The warrior delivers the killing thrust, and the giant is slain! 
Malvol thoroughly enjoyed the battle!  He gains 5 FP!  The Bushes of Empowerment sprout berries!
3 workers begin research on Gigantic Housing, but decide to finish Gigantic Construction instead.  The tech is completed!

((I don't think heating something that is right above us to a ridiculous degree is very smart. Worst case scenario we become +metal statues+. This is a finely crafted metal statue. It is encrusted with sharkmist and HMRC. On the item is an image of HMRC and Pancaek. Pancaek is laughing. The HMRC is melting. The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

Ugh I was really hoping to get FP from that research. I was hoping to get 3FP from that so I could make a 10FP tile this turn but it looks like I'm still waiting.

About your turn, maybe I'm confusing this with a different Gridhood but I don't think you can construct a tool and use it on the same turn. You definitely can't both construct and do a second action with one guy, constructing a tool uses his labor. Might want to change that icefishing dude.
