Ahra, you can't train two units this turn. You need to build a military school to do that.

[Ahra]

fixd

[Vanigo]

Oh, and bronze ingots only take 1 labor each, not 2.

[Happerry]

Think you could put up what the differences are between Stone Shamblers and Phantoms? Besides the different cost to make their summoning items?

Edit : Also, how did I loose the second explorer 'Spirit of Adventure' gave me? My new age turnpost only shows me with one explorer. And speaking of leaders, what do Governors do? They for colonies or the main city?

[IronyOwl]

Ah, it seems I raised a Sky Talon instead of a Seeker like I wanted to last age. I should have had and been deducted the cartographers, though.

They give your main city +1 prosperity.

[IronyOwl]

Didn't notice this earlier, but I also have access to Taxation, but not its prerequisite Code of Laws.

Uh... nope! I'll post stats when someone gets the techs.

You still have him; I just missed it when I was putting that in.

IronyOwl: I'll fix that for you. As for techs, take armorcraft instead of Taxation.

Alright, fair enough and makes sense.

After having re-read the posts about the gnomish encounters with the dark elves, I'm starting to think that maybe trying to utterly annihilate them was a distinctly evil act. First my explorers get attacked by a group of archers on some unimportant ground. Then when I come back to destroy them, more have joined them. In the same spot of unimportant ground.

Why would soldiers be standing guard over some bit of undeveloped land? Seems more likely that they were exiles of some sort. (Alternative theory: <REDACTED>) Then when I reached their city, their navy may have merely been coming out to greet my explorers, particularly because they weren't very interested in pursuing them. Then I came back and sank their navy, prompting an attack on Copperflow.

In conclusion: I am prejudiced against dark elves, and eagerly await an update to see if attacking them was more justified then the obvious reasons of them being dark elves and having air crystals.

Yeah, more came back to that same spot of unimportant ground, but on the flip side you did the exact same thing.
Each time (for the first few times at least) you encountered them they attacked you first.
While they could theoretically have been exiles I doubt it. Sure there navy might have been coming out to greet you, but i doubt that as well (given their past behavior).
Your attack on their navy was unnecessary, but not entirely unjustified (given there overtly hostile behavior).
Their attack on copperflow was justified because you were at war, although they would have probably done it anyways.

Yeah, genocide is pretty uniformly evil (even if they are generic evil dark elves), pretty much no matter why you are doing it.

Attacking them for the air crystals is fine though, and would have been better if you hadn't attacked them even when they gave you one in tribute.

Also, update would be nice.

They didn't. They gave me Earth Jade while my troops were holding up Sky Diamonds as a demonstration of what they wanted. Sky Diamonds aren't Earth Jade.

And I meant utterly annihilate them as a power, not genocide. Many would have survived by fleeing, or as slaves, or as laborers in the gnome-occupied city,

Edit: Earth Jade and Sky Diamonds may technically be equivalent, but, at least last age, Sky Diamonds were at least twice as valuable to me. +4 health, or faster ships and long range archery? No comparison.

[Ahra]

what do you guys think? heavy armor to 2 units and give them bronze weapons or 2 with light armor, bronze weapons and and make one of them an generals unit with bronze shields?

[Nirur Torir]

I think heavy armor + bronze weapons + bronze shields + stoneskin amulets, backed by archers with bronze arrows + leather armor (Mages would be better). Probably at least two of each in order to stand any chance of an offensive victory, preferably more, which means you'll likely want Iron Working as your next tech, followed by Academics and Currency.

...

I happen to like expensive troops. Quality over quantity and all that.
