You Aussie?

yes, but in French, moi is me, and aussi is also.

I knew moi was French, but I wasn't aware of the meaning of aussi

Can they carry a resource to someone, and take resources from that same person in the same turn?

Are there limits to how much our followers can carry when we're doing trading? Would one follower only be able to carry one wheat, or would he be fine carrying five?

Five would be sensible, or 20 Food/Influence. And they can carry one way and then back, so both parties need not send traders.

Yay. Mehgusta.

Also, you didn't record the 2 stone I got in my spoilered stats G.

Are you sure you wouldn't prefer two wood? It's all brown and barky!

Also, how do people feel about this:

Portable Bridge: [To create: 300 Influence, 2 assigned builders] [Decreases Ditch bonus to 3+ if carried into battle by two men. Carriers may not participate in battle] [Defenders may cast down Bridge at a 7+ if set on Guard, negating its bonuses and necessitating 30 Influence of repair before it can be used again, but allowing its Carriers to join in the attack]

I figure it should be fairly expensive, since it can negate potentially several hundred Influence worth of defenses, and there will be a chance for Defenders to stop it if they're on guard, so it will give a good reason for people to actually post watchmen.

how many turns it take to give someone resources?

One, and then they can use it the same turn if they post after they get it.

For that to be worth it, you need to have at least seven people attacking, including the carriers. Plus it costs 300 influence to make. And the defender can just get rid of it, but those defenders still get to fight?

That's... that's not statistically even... FSS was more balanced...

I vote we make all of posts in Doge from now on

The Defenders can indeed get rid of it if- and I stress if- they were on watch. If they aren't, no dice.

And yes. FSS was simpler to work with, frankly. This is far more complex.

We should FSS again!
It's.. more.. fun..
I dunno. I enjoy that.

But, then, what if they attack, but the defenders haven't posted? Couldn't they metagame, and put sentries up in the same turn, but after the attack?

That's a risk they take, unfortunately. There already is meta gaming with attacks to an extent, as he who posts last gets to see everyone's posts beforehand. He who posts last also risks not having the resources he wants though.

Oh, I see.

Well, as soon as I can tell anyone has a bridge, I'll just keep one of my warriors on guard there at all time. I have to process some grain soon anyway.

Each tile of stone can take up to twenty followers harvesting it before it runs the risk of exhaustion, right? So it would take 100 followers to possibly exhaust all the stone currently known?

Thirty, actually, and each resource site, not tile. Resource sites are those five bunches in an X; stone isn't exhaustible though; if someone tries to harvest beyond the thirty cap, they just get pebbles, not Stone. Wheat and Wood are renewable, which means you can exhaust them, but they will grow back.

Also, feel free to suggest Creations and Constructions lads and lasses. I probably won't add many of them, since they'll have to be very near outflows of our current tech, but I'm open to suggestions.

Church/shrine/temple/monastery/whatever.

Costs a decent amount of stone/wood and influence, and acts as a farm, but for faith.

Altars are already a thing, but not one you can build yet, though you have discovered the relevant resource.

[Alleniana]

A palisade thingy, like an advanced of a wall?

Shrines are already a thing, but not one you can build with the Resources discovered yet, though that resource is in Godshome

Oh, I was not aware of that

Hmm, what resource? :3

[G-Tech Corporation]

A palisade thingy, like an advanced of a wall?

I've set up mechanics for that, fairly recently, but the inciting event for it's discovery hasn't occurred yet.

What kind of thing incites the discovery of a wall?

"Oh hey, I just realized I can't walk through walls!"
"Duuuude, you should do that, but like, around the town!

More like, "what motivates me to spend tons of time building a wall to keep people out when the ditch is working great?"

Think about it

At first I thought it was horses, but also bridge.

Well, you know, the flying type. Not pegasuses, mind you, flying horses.

Anyways, bridges is obviously the right answer

The answer is obviously to dig a bigger ditch, one that is wide enough that it would be impossible to build a structurally sound bridge, long enough to cross it, with current primitive technology.
