Well, given that the clan only has 20 goods left, giving them silver isn't an option. And feasting is a poor idea given the predicted harvest. I'd say give the farmers 10-15 cows, unless you're cool with them being "uncertain". So yes. Give some some cows, perhaps.

I'd say the best bet for now would be to let the farmers deal with it. Address the issue if it comes up, but hopefully they won't be buttmad before we find a way to calm them down.

Plus, nobody really expects raids during Dark or Storm.

Men of the foot getting destroyed, all is well

Oldfag here who was around for the original Runic Men playthrough of KoDP: I gotta say, I'm actually liking this run better. The Runic Men were epic, but we're running into hardships they never did and shit's just plain more interesting for it.

Is the ipad version any good?

>Runic Men was in 2012

>>28245360
Yeah, actually. When they say streamlined, they mean actually streamlined, and not dumbed-down. Lots of extra events too. If you have an iPad I recommend it.

>>28245415
Great. I will give it a go.

>>28245395
Doesn't mean he's not an oldfag though.

>>28245461
What counts as an oldfag anyway?

>>28245496
Well since Runic Men was early 2012, and we're in late 2013, I'd say to be an oldfag you need to be around for two years. Me myself I've been here since 2008, but I still don't see me as an oldfag, but that's just me.

Bumping for Storm season.

Okay I'm back. It's the first month of Storm season, and the carls seem to have gotten over themselves finally. We're starting to see real improvements in our goods situation, if not enough to throw up more defenses and keep our temples though. We could be better off, or we could be much worse off.

Given that it's Storm season, any actions that take us off the tula have a chance of failure. Still though, it's not a bad time to explore or try to form an alliance (or learn Ernalda Feeds the Tribe).

>>28249291
Get Ernalda Feeds the Tribe.

Also how can we trigger that market event? I scored myself some nifty treasures with that one yesterday

Markets trigger randomly. If there was a way to force one to proc, I'd do it every year.

How do we want to go about learning Ernalda? We've got a few favors to call in, or we can sacrifice for it. Odds are pretty even for both, we don't know any Ernalda mysteries and we know three herostories.

>>28249471
Maybe sacrifice some football tokens. We have 744 of them afterall.

1 crops as opposed to 2, if we really need to have a quest point for some reason. And either is better than not having enough reserves to rez our guys and going to negative luck.

Put on your favorite Viking themed music, we're raiding the Jenesti. Anyone up for burning down houses?

That doesn't work. You can beat them so bad they offer tribute though. And then you can raid them once they inevitably default.

Call me a traditionalist but I like the idea of a simple plundering.

We've seen better odds... just loot for now.

>>28251991
plundering, keep the burning shit untill better odds

>>28251991
BURN THE FIELDS!
SALT THE WOMEN!
RAPE THE HOUSES!

I think i got this wrong somehow.....
