If there's anything you need to outsource to your players, let us know.

[Vanigo]

Hey, finally!

Hmm...

Workalot Distillate
  4 compounds
  Applied during the creation of a building or terrain improvement, this formula reduces the construction cost by 1 labor.

You realize that's both cheaper and better than my Arcane Servitor? This is, of course, offset by the lower MP of the alchemists, but if anything improves their capacity they'll be better at construction than constructors. Granted, he's put more research in, but still.

Abculatter built a stable, which you don't seem to have given him.

I suppose crossbows require metal bolts rather than metal arrows?

[Cheddarius]

I have 2 iron and 3 stone, but I think I should have 1 iron and 2 stone... also, I think I should have two herds of horses, not one, because I farmed tile 7 for horses last turn. (I'll do my turn with these assumptions, but if it turns out I'm wrong I'll change it)

[Vanigo]

I think I've got one more wood and one more wool than I should, but one less food, and it looks like you gave me 5 stone last turn that I shouldn't have. Also, what's with the +11 money this turn? I thought the mint would only give me 6?

It shouldn't be better, but be the same effect. Cheaper... As it stands, he needs to have two alchemists to do it. Increasing the cost to 5 so it takes two increases in compound capacity before a single alchemist could apply that formula seemed excessive when I wrote the turn.

I suppose crossbows require metal bolts rather than metal arrows?

Yes, following the same rules as metal arrows.

Also, what's with the +11 money this turn?

I'll need to check something here.

Oh, yeah, you're right. I was thinking the mechanic's workshop would work better with the cost reduction than the extra labor for some reason.

How the hell did those "Recruit" orders get there last turn...

[Knight Otu]

Well, if there was an error in the recruit orders, it might be good to hear that.

Now for the mint...

Valuable ores produce an additional 1 money when their tile is worked, whether money or ore is added. This increases to 2 with a mine, and 3 with a deep mine.

IronyOwl has gotten 5 money from his working his silver for 10 years now. As written, he should have gotten 2 money. When he corrected me when I forgot to take the mint into account, he said 5, probably misunderstanding the sentence that the mint adds its money whether the resource is added or not, and I never made sure that he calculated correctly. We could dock IronyOwl 30 money and go with 6 money, or we could keep things as they are (in which case 11 is also wrong).
Or maybe I'm just that incompetent.

[IronyOwl]

Do tower shields slow units down? Also, can a single unit of Astral Mages keep Lunar Strength up on multiple military units?

[Knight Otu]

Do tower shields slow units down?

Nope, it's all in the armor.

Also, can a single unit of Astral Mages keep Lunar Strength up on multiple military units?

As long as the astral mages remain with all the units that you want to keep the spell up on, sure.

[Vanigo]

Man, we're all kind of failing this turn. Nine days, and my turn was second.

[IronyOwl]

Well... I'm sure Otu likes the time to relax, at least...

[Vanigo]

Seriously, guys.

[IronyOwl]

I know, I know. I'm just in a rather delicate situation (demonic cultists, overcrowded city, etc etc) and it can be hard to come up with adequate RP.
