Illator is back with cows. He's not happy that we made him walk back and forth but his honor demanded it.

What do we do with the sick herd of cows?

Hello Orstalor, you're looking dapper there.

#3. It could help repair the reputation we have with Tarsh, and it's not like we're lacking for food.

Fire season. Two actions. Unfortunately, we can only hire two thanes now. We could keep exploring.

Explore away, son.

If you want more thanes, send away all buit one on a trade mission escort, then hire up to ten thanes.

And you'll probably get the "Not enough weaponthanes! event, too, which means you can get anywhere from 10 to 15 weaponthanes in one go (though they tend to bleed off over the following year a bit.)

WHY. Why in Orlanth's name has this event come back to haunt us?!

At least we're already feuding with the Jenestni!

Fun fact: Orstalor advocates for peace. What a sagelike Trickster. It's going to make readjusting to #YOLO Chaotic Stupid Eurmalites that much harder when he dies.

>>28701575
Whoops, forgot to say that despite that, we still got four thanes.

>>28701551
Except their heavy cavalry rides ostriches, not horses, yeah.

(Also, I think one of the advantages of being the Elmali clan is that you don't get the elmali clan demanding the golden horse treasure you can get from the grazelands.)

>>28701666

An interesting problem. On the one hand, advocating peace is pretty spiffy for things such as this.

But on the other hand, the Jenestni are assholes and we're already either exacting tribute or raiding them actively.

Let's try #4. We're gonna have to make peace with the other tribes sometime, might as well start now.

File: 1386378564760.png-(356 KB, 640x481, KoDP307b.png)

It's worth recognizing that the Jenestni are about as spiteful as we are.

>>28701668
>Except their heavy cavalry rides ostriches, not horses, yeah.
I actually pointed that out.

As it happens, the Jenestni are the Elmali clan. We wouldn't give up a treasure of ours to them for just about anything.

>>28701763
It's a good idea to be at war with someone. If you don't raid reasonably frequently, your thanes get pissed, your battle magic stops working, etc.
Plus, think of the profits.
The main risk is being at war with too many clans, or too powerful a clan.

Speaking of Golden Horses, here's this event again. And our Odaylans are literally built for this. Guess I'm glad I didn't succeed in sacrificing them to Cragspider.

We're far and away the most powerful clan in the Pass by any metric you care to choose.

>>28701923
Yeah, I know that. I don't think we're at any risk. I was talking in general terms.

>>28701923

#4.

They're going to need every bit of cunning and luck to succeed. Some divine help wouldn't hurt either.

I was scrolling down the list of deities to check their portfolios and accidentally double-clicked Vinga. So Vinga now favors our attempt to steal a magic horse from the Horse-Spawn.

Not sure if this is good...

W-well, thanks Vinga.

With Renowned Animals and Excellent Combat, Karendra is our best bet at nabbing that horse. Vinga is in some interpretations Orlanth's female aspect, so maybe that'll add to Combat. Plus the warrior name dropped in the event is Vingan.

We send six thanes along.

Oh, I'm back.

Buying the Flesh Man makes the sting of losing the horse go away a little. If nothing else, it's one less treasure in the rotation, and this one definitely has more uses than some of the others.

Dark season. We'll do a heroquest and undertake a raid. Any preferences as to which heroquest, and who we target?

We'll try to hit the Jenestni.

313 KB PNG

Ernalda's quest yields one treasure and it's awful.

Choose between increasing yields, strengthening Eonislara or improving the carls' mood. Note that just completing the quest has a passive fields benefit.

>>28702679

Improve Carls' moods.

>>28702702
I'll second that. We're not hurting in the other areas, and keeping them happy gives us more leeway to do other stuff.

>>28701923
>We're far and away the most powerful clan in the Pass by any metric you care to choose.

But are you stronger than the Runic Men?

>>28702810

The Runic Men are just a legend meant to inspire other clans to their extremely hypothetical heights.

And even then, they weren't able to keep the Carls happy all the time! Although I did hear that they had a trickster who was practically a Humakti.

On the one hand, it's beneath us to rub salt in their wounds. On the other hand it's the Jenestni, and fuck those guys.

I say 3. We can be good winners, but we don't owe them a reciprocal gift unless we want to put the feud behind us. Unless you think we have bigger fish to fry and should be cooling those waters.

>>28703549
Give them hospitality. We'll need to start setting up the path of friendship to help establish our right to Kingdom.

It is easy to go down the path of vengeance, but it is the stuff of legends to forgive.

Now kill them in their sleep and hide the bodies and dagger.

Orstalor you cad.

We might have killed their entire working population two or three times, burnt half their tula to the ground, stolen half of their land, demanded draining tribute from them for years, formed a superpower around them and then attacked them so aggressively that leaving their home of nearly thirty years was preferable to staying a moment longer, but damn if they don't think we're excellent hosts.

I'll be gone anywhere from forty minutes to an hour. When I come back, we'll raid the Greydogs or something

>>28704411
Let's see of the Jesenti would agree to a peace to the feud. Let us also see who else we can make peace with. Only being raided by non-orlanthi could be nice.

>>28704411
We can still raid in storm, can't we? It's not as comfy as fire, but there's no harvest work to be done.

We prefer to raid during Dark season, because we get clan magic for it.

Not that we need magic since we've got it coming out of our ears. Speaking of gross surpluses, 2k+ cattle, damn.

So, peace with the Jenestni? Not a terrible idea; now that they're on the other side of the Quivinilands it'll be hard to keep raiding them.

Obviously they want to support our peace making efforts by donating horses.

>>28704857
I've only ever seen you charge. Is that the single best tactic to use? Or does it have to do with our superior numbers?

>>28705008
Maneuver is better on defense, skirmish is only good if you have a lot of hunters, evade is only if you think you're going to lose no matter what and want to minimize casualities, though I have managed to win a battle once while evading so I'm not sure how it works. In any case, charging is the best overall when on the offense.

Since no one opined either way, I went and sent them off.

Why is the Elmal worshipping clan so based? It's a pity the label was attached to the Jenestni, their clan's background is cool.

>>28705008
Single best. Interrupts sacrifice (empowers an army during either the start or resolution of combat), effective against larger forces and prevents smaller forces from getting an advantage on you. You might want to use Evade if you're hilariously outnumbered though.

>>28705039
I think Charging disrupts Skirmish as well. There's some relationship between the three that's almost but not quite like RPS.

>>28705119
Help their ritual. It's practically free considering how much magic we're packing.

>>28705177
They take a percentage of your stocked magic actually.

>>28705193

>>28707307

Cant befriend the trolls i dont think

>>28707251
Cragspider is up in the Northeast. Killing one of the trollmothers is about as easy as killing a god, so it's always suicide.

>>28707277
Interestingly, trollkin aren't human, so even no-thrall ancestors don't complain about taking them as thralls. That said they're terrible thralls, so driving them off or sacrificing them are our best options. Sacrificing them to Trickster makes them useful.

>>28707307
I wouldn't feel too bad for them, they're watered down abominations too stupid to know how worthless they are--in canon.

I think we should cut the coco puffs out of their stomachs. Which I believe is the ritual to a sacrifice. If not, sacrifice them to the Trickster anyway. Let him have the coco puffs.

Huh, haven't seen this before. Mordrim usually comes when you have Blacktail in your possession. As it happens, we errored him out of the game. What do we do when he asks for Voriof's Flute?

favor?

>>28708182

>>28708182
What does the flute do? You didn't mention it in the above list.

>>28708236
You're right. Voriof's Flute: "The Shepherd God's toy gives certain clan members special daring and prowess". Exactly what the prowess is, or what clan members are effected, your guess is as good as mine.

What happens in the Blacktail event is that the bull goes to Mordrim's clan (the Tree Brothers), from whom it can be bought from at a later time. Giving the bull as a gift sets off a very nice event later, so we might want to do that.

>>28708319
Sounds like a fancy way of saying "does fuck all." Give it to him, or since there's no option for giving it away freely, sell it for his crappy price of goods we don't need.

>>28708319
On the one hand, "giving our clan members daring and prowess" might be one of the reasons that we have been getting so much combat events, but you say we'll get to buy it back eventually and we'll get a nice event from it too.

>>28709354
I wish I knew how to play at the beginning. I only know how to play when we have a gigantic herd of cows, food stores to last for years, a pile of treasure, more magic than you can ever spend and an army triple the size of any other clan.

>>28709452
This. We're so damn strong that their magic basically does fuck all for them. Plus the magic we invest in War at the start of the year counts as "pre-loaded" magic in battles.

This reminds me of the playthrough of XCOM enemy unknown on /vr/ where we just curb stomped everything

I've always heard attacking the ducks is a bad idea, but what happens? Do the beastman all gang up on you? What if your ancestral enemies are beastmen, and you're obliged to attack them?

>>28709482
They let undead swarm our tula and CLEAVE AND SMITE

>>28709354
well theres a few shrines that are really useful.... double weapon thane power one.

heroquesting is important, but not all quests are worthwhile to start with

make sure to at least cattle raid semi regularly else bad things happen

explore your tula a bunch before exploring the surrounding areas

And that's the year!

I've highlighed the shrine to Kero Fin at the bottom right. Looking at the pastures you can see that we've hit a crisis level of crowding; our sheep are in trouble too. I'll probably convert wildlands first thing next session/tomorrow.

>>28709354
Seriously though, number 1 rookie mistake: attacking the ducks. Don't do that, sacrifice to the gods in units of 7 up to 21, get Truesword, Shield and Silvertongue ASAP, don't invest magic in Children or Hunting, don't raid during Dark season unless you hate ice demons, explore your tula once a year, don't trust the Trickster and make sure your next chief is young.

>>28709460
Act like you have all those things. Pretend long enough and the game gives up and hands it to you.

>>28709482
You don't have to attack them, you just can't be nice to them. Mild dickishness is enough to satisfy the ancestors. Anyway, piss them off enough and their meaner cousins take you on. Keep at it and every beastman in Dragon Pass steamrolls your clan.

dont fuck with ducks

>>28709482
Why have them as your enemies? It is just not a good choice.

Humanity happens.

Here's our preview: This omen again, and average harvest.

Thanks for playing all, hope you had a good time. See you (much earlier) tomorrow. I'll make an announcement on https://twitter.com/WatashiwaOnline when it's time to run.

See you then.

Are beastmen harder to deal with than trolls?

>>28709525
have to say its a pretty nice looking place to live

>>28709575
they are many

>>28709575
It is generally not a good idea to make a race that is an 'apocalypse' enemy your ancestral enemy. Good choices are generally elves or frost demons.

>>28709575
You don't get a battle screen when they hit. Just a scene of the devastation.

Oh sweet summerfag, you know nothing of the deep winters. This is twice, twice we've twisted this game to our ends. And the first... The true Runic Men. We subjugated all of Dragon Pass. We fucked mountains.

I turn my eye to this playthrough, because it is a worthy successor. /vr/ couldn't do 70 threads on fuck-all.

>>28709620
>summerfag
Just because i missed the first playthrough doesnt mean i just started coming here
stop that

>>28709571
Help looks like requests and lots of exploration are in order,

>>28709635

It's December, before the winter break. It's a term of endearment at this juncture. Sorry to rustle.

>>28709620
Runic Men managed to win the game even when they conquered all the other tribes? Anybody got a link to the archives on these guys?

>>28709671
Sure give me a moment.

>>28709671

http://archive.foolz.us/tg/thread/19704216/

That's thread 70, the end state.

Alright here it is. Scroll down to the bottom and find the first thread which is "king of dragon pass group play". Then work your way back through the numbered threads.

Unfortunately foolz archives this old only save the thumbnail of images. But if you have been following Fimbulveltr you should be familiar enough with the events to follow along.

>>28709851
>>28709806
>the main part of it, the pictures are gone forever
I fucking HATE foolz

>>28709940

Don't hate on an archive. Make a better archive.

>>28710007
Well instead of having their servers holy images they hold other boards
hosting is expensive
so are servers

>>28710007
Yeah, let's make an archive full of images that no longer exist.

>>28709940
That is the price you pay for archiving everything. Sup/tg/ has to regularly purge itself because hosting space isn't free.

That said the problem on foolz got much worse when they decided to increase the number of archived boards. It used to be just a handful, including /tg/ and /a/. But now for some retarded reason they decided to archive /q/, /v/, and /vg/. All boards with much higher volumes of traffic than /tg/ and honestly quite full of shit comments no one would ever want to read.

>>28710709
yep. So we'll see how long they can keep it going.
