Alright, I'll get the game thread up soon.

Morale bonuses take effect on the next turn. Every turn, I'll state how much labor is available, along with how much food is needed. At 10,000 population, +10% labor gives another laborer. It does not require more food.

[Nirur Torir]

Posting in the game thread is now opened. Feel free to ask any questions here.

[Knight Otu]

Very well, then, a question about granaries and warehouses - I take it that they can be expanded with later technologies? In the original AoR, multiple granaries could be built to extend the storage (not that anyone actually got to use that), but I'm assuming that doesn't work here.

[inteuniso]

So, do we have resources from every tile in the city's region?

Now that I think about it, there's not much of a reason not to allow stacking warehouses and granaries. It was mostly so nobody could have 60 wool sitting around uselessly without making a decision to have the storage for 60 wool. I'll add in build-able warehouses with the construction tech.

You get all the resources a tile provides when you assign a laborer to it. You can assign laborers to any tile in the city grid.

You will not get resources if you do not specifically assign laborers to work the land. I'll give a sample turn, using Usata rather then make a new one up.

RP text about stuff that's RPish.

Spoiler: Numbers (click to show/hide)

Land worked:
1) Plains/river tile 15 - +3 food
2) Plains tile 16 - +2 food
3) Swamp/river tile 3 - +2 food, +1 wood
4) Swamp/river tile 4 - +2 food, +1 wood
5) Swamp/river tile 5 - +2 food, +1 wood
Subtotal: +11 food, +3 wood

6 - Research construction
7 - Research Archery
8 - Partially build a swamp farm on swamp/river tile 3. (2 labor remains)
9, 10 - Build a shrine (-2 wood)

Totals:
Food: 11 harvested, 10 eaten = 1 wasted
Wood: 3 harvested, 2 used = 1 stored

You don't really need to keep track of things, but it is probably helpful to know exactly where you stand. If you describe the tile along with giving the number, it gives a bit of insurance in case of accidentally giving the wrong number. I might get a bit confused if you just say "I irrigate the plains tile west of the city." Also note that research can be split, although it may not be the best option.

With the 10,000 starting population, you'll need at least 10 units of food to avoid a famine.

what exactly  dose scouting do?

Dose it find resources in our 18, dose it make the map bigger?
How dose it work? do you roll a dice? is the map already set?

Is there a map or is it abstracted outside of our 18?

What exactly dose a canoe do?

dose the ocean tile with the river going in to it count as ocean + river?

If we build a improvement dose it take place that turn?

How do you spell "dose", my spell checker says I am doing it right but it looks wrong.

[Knight Otu]

As far as I know...

what exactly  dose scouting do?

Well, the scouting I have in mind would provide information outside of the city radius. Special resources can be found in various ways (at research, luck, and if I recall correctly, an Explorer leader). I doubt that the city radius can be expanded.

If we build a improvement dose it take place that turn?

The benefits of the improvement won't be available until the beginning of the next turn.

How do you spell "dose", my spell checker says I am doing it right but it looks wrong.

That would be "does."

[Nirur Torir]

Knight Otu's answers were correct, although I'm keeping quiet on exactly how special resources are found.

what exactly  dose scouting do?

There are two maps that you need to worry about. The city map, and the global map. Scouting explores more area on the global map. You might find villages, other players, abandoned resources, or possibly something else.

Dose it find resources in our 18, dose it make the map bigger?
How dose it work? do you roll a dice? is the map already set?

Having people work outside the city radius is considered highly inefficient, and will not take place. The map will be created after somebody starts exploring. I know where people and features basically are, but I haven't gotten around to drawing it quite yet. After exploration, you can request the global map, and I'll PM you the map that you've explored.

What exactly dose a canoe do?

It's basically a military unit restricted to waterways. You can give them weapons and improved armor armor (Wooden ram, for instance. Or arming the crew). They can be used to explore, trade, transport troops, and fight armies near rivers.

dose the ocean tile with the river going in to it count as ocean + river?

No, sorry.

[Luke_Prowler]

Exactly how big are these rivers? Barely big enough for a single boat, or Mississippi size?

[Nirur Torir]

Mississippi size. Military units have no trouble crossing them outside of combat, but consider them impassable to most units during combat. Even to fish-people.

[Beanchubbs]

Would fighting across a river give any advantages to either side? Or is it just kind of there?

[Neyvn]

Seriously.
Do we Loss a Labour Unit when we train a Battle Unit seeing as a Labour Unit requires 1000Pop, while a Battle Unit requires 100Pop each. Thus meaning that I will have less then 1000 to make a Labour unit...

Posting as such but if I am wrong, I will change...

[Nirur Torir]

That is correct. The 100 population is deducted from the labor pool at the start of the turn, giving you 9 to work with. It does not take any labor to train a unit, however. You will get the labor point back next turn, giving you 11 labor units. (You'll make 9/10 of a labor unit this turn.)

Are you giving the bows to your SpearTaharks?

Edit: I received a PM asking me to clarify how morale and luxuries work.
Luxury goods provide a temporary morale bonus. Clothing will give +1 morale, so long as enough clothing is given to the people. Take that away, and the morale bonus will go back down to 5 (or 6, with a governor).
A shrine will give +10 spirituality luxury units per turn. Once a city hits 11,000 population, the bonus is 'wasted.' The morale will drop back to 5. The people will want 11 luxury units. This CAN be mixed with another good, like clothing, so only one unit per turn would be needed instead of two. If a tomb is then built, bringing the total up to +20 spirituality, then the clothing can either be dropped, or increased to two units/turn. This would bring the morale bonus up to +2.
20,000 people will be just as happy with 2 units of clothing as with 10.

[Neyvn]

Ok Fixed the Bows, was thinking of next years work.
So this year I have 9 Workers to begin with, next I will have 11???

[Nirur Torir]

Yes.
In AoR I, all population not on the 1000 mark took food and luxuries, yet did nothing. In this, those 900 people will be doing a partial job, to be finished next turn. They won't drain food until they've done something useful It doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you think about it, but I think it's a better alternative.

Oh, and military units take food, even on the turn that they're trained. You'll still need 10 food total (Which you have).
