Spoiler: My reasonings, Rationalities, and ect- Argue if you want. (click to show/hide)

You have not attempted to develop any better ways of procuring gems- nor more efficient ways to manufacture them, thus the current rather limiting limit.
Each individual DSA has the same amount of magic as anything else- However since I Doubt that even you would consider giving each officer exactly one efficient(That's the result of paying half the cost) The cost was up'd to a point where you are reasonably giving each officer several.

eS is simply being an unrepentant troll, Crazyabe. :3

Not Die has an issue in that the Lightning Swords are too expensive for us to afford.

4 Enchanted Stones
2 Refined Enchanted Stones
North: Horses(All), Mighty Bows(1 unit): 3 Horse Units, 1 Enchanted Stone
Middle: Horses(1 Unit), Enchanted Swords[Earth, Fire](2 Units): 1 Horse Unit, 2 Refined Enchanted Stones
South: Horses(All), Mighty Bows(All): 3 Horse Units, 3 Enchanted Stones

Edit: Made the plan clearer as 'gems' no longer refers to a single type of stone.

Plan legal not die
plan DSA (fixer two)
Plan next turn assault (1), DGR

Plan next turn assault
3 enchanted swords (lightning) Made and put into storage (for use next combat phase, if we store three units of any magical items, we can ensure that next round everyone has at least one magic item.)
3 horses to the plains
2 horse to the pass, 2 rods of expel (earth, fire)
3 horses to the beach, 1 mighty bow
(the Idea here is that if we save half our stuff for next round we can launch a devastating attack.)

Faculty of Geomantic Studies for the Extraction of Gems
This research faculty researches the possibilities of gem extraction through Geomancy. International wizard experts of geomancy, local enchanting wizards, and local engineers work together interdisciplinary and develop methods of magical and mechanical nature to increase the production of enchanting gems, as well as exploring ways to refine the gems for further production.

What do you think? Dependong on the outcome of the next battle we could follow such a lead to boost our gem producing capabilities as well as giving us the opportunity to delve into elemental magic...

[Sensei]

I'm definitely against hoarding swords for later. We need to gain as much ground as we can early, to secure a resource advantage. With us already on our back foot, we can't afford to wait and play the long game like that. Besides, I believe we keep our magic items if we win (except magic ammo, which for that reason, we should stop purchasing immediately) so we can stock up as long as we're winning anyway.

Regarding Plan Not Die, did I miss a detail about lightning swords being more expensive than other kinds? Otherwise it seems to cost the same as the updated plan. I was hoping the lightning would help us cook their guys in metal armor. If we can't do that, I guess fire and whatever an earth sword looks like (I guess we get to find out) is fine.

As a good rule of thumb, its usually a good idea to read through your own Designs section- because you don't always get things as you requested.

[VoidSlayer]

I will say that making the DSA was not a mistake.  We may be able to use the same seeking magic to make accurate ranged energy blast weapons in the future.

The actual DSAs though proved not too useful.

Why are the swords more expensive; I thought they just took 1 lightning gem to make.

The relevant bit being lightning stones not all being refined in time for combat? I mean, I can work with that, we'll just have 2/3 of the swords or whatever. Does this not apply to other specific elements? And the price of enchanted swords seems to be one gem for enough to arm 1/3 of our soldiers, same as bows.

You allocate the gems first. So 3 refined enchanted stones turn into 2 lightning stones. Then you would only be able to spend 5 (2 lightning stones, 3 enchanted stones) gems total.

[Sensei]

Right. Doesn't your plan only allocate two gems for the swords though? My plan was made on the assumption we could just assign two "batches" of gems and still have two-thirds of them function, and yours seems to do the same thing. Crazyabe, can I get a clarification- are we able to assign two gems to swords, and still have one gems' worth or so in time for combat? Or do we have to assign three gems and have two ready?

If it's the latter, I'd probably say we can take away one unit of Might Bows from the lower lane.

[Talion]

I believe we should work in whole numbers ergo.

4 Enchanted Stones
2 Refined Enchanted Stones->2 Lightning Stones (2/3*2 = 1.33*= 1 Lightning Stone now and 1 Lightning Stone after the battle)
North: Horses(All), Mighty Bows(1 unit): 3 Horse Units, 1 Enchanted Stone
Middle: Horses(1 Unit), Enchanted Sword[Lightning](1 Unit): 1 Horse Unit, 1 Lightning Stone
South: Horses(All), Mighty Bows(All): 3 Horse Units, 3 Enchanted Stones

[crazyabe]

Its "Roughly" Two thirds rounded- meaning with two batches You will have roughly one and a third done in time for combat, and the rest will be finished in time for the next year.

DSA is a potential weapon of mass destruction if modified enough.
