*cough*

I'm actually pretty decent on food. My problem is more development, but I can't exactly employ you to build hovels for me

*cough* Then reallocate people from farms to building hovels using food I give you.*cough*

I think I have a cold... *sneezes*

[Harkback Union]

What I meant is, G-tech.
No HH defense bonus, +1 Fertile land.
No negative defense.

Development is my issue as well. You did show me that I am one population away from collapse. So I need to make hovels, another shrine, and a port. That will take a good amount of time.

I am just lucky to be in a quite area. But that can change...

Ha, I'm doing pretty good on dev.

[Lunas Legion]

Everyone's screwed in terms of development, at least early on. It takes 2 hovels to add 1 pop worth of development, and considering that each hovel can only house 1 pop, well there's no way out of subsistence unless you go to a really low pop.

That's actually a good idea, I'm a derp. So, hmm, 9 Food for allowing you to study Mysticism and Archery? Then you'll know as much as me, and I'll have enough free people to get me past Abyssal Development.

Deal. Super done deal.

[Harkback Union]

pay 1 IO for 2 wealth, 1 Food for 1 wealth missing when in absymal.
Its affordable, I think.

I actually have the food to pay the abyssal penalty, if I put most everyone on farming. It's just a very sudden pain in the neck for using a strategy I feel was already well balanced for downsides.

I mean, I gave up all my population and any ability to do anything for half the first Eon in exchange for one measely bottom-tier tech. It isn't exactly powergaming.

All right, how about this:

No trade of defense for fertile land.
You can get a plague that lets you kill your own people without a rebellion.

Eh, I'll just swap defense for fertility. It works out that way fine, and it'll even help Flame with his food.

[Vulnier]

I'm all alone in my corner of the world. Haven't met a single person yet.

[Lunas Legion]

I'm all alone in my corner of the world. Haven't met a single person yet.

At least when you meet someone they might not immediately invade you right off the bat.

Apple's seriously salty I wouldn't give him 1 food.

Y'know what, I think I might just burn everything. If I can't have it, Apple certianly won't.

Bah! Now I'll have people demanding this everywhere.

Can't you just build a militia? It only takes 1 RL, and nothing else.

Ah, fair point. Well, military units can be built and used in the same epoch, so you can hand wave it as suddenly calling your people to arms as your foe attacks outlying villages.

Bunch of farmers spot strange guys in armour, run back to Skyshard, tell Nine on Earth that people be stealin' our shit, mobilise militia, head out, crack skulls, head home.

That sounds cool...

I;ll have a shrine up next turn anyways so it's a win win for me

[Lunas Legion]

What Epoch is Apple invading in, since they've left in 7, so they'll be in the Wetlands in 8, which makes the invasion for Epoch 9, yes?

You just need a weapons workshop, methinks.

I need one of those to get milita? Really?

[Pac Kindom]

can some one enplane Abyssal Development to me

[Harkback Union]

You lose 3 food or 1 Food 1 IO or 3 wealth or.. ehh, stuff... its kinda broken.

@ Lunas

Weapons Workshop - 3 RL - Allows for creating 1 land-based unit each epoch in the domain its built in.

[Levis Avara]

Do you gain 1 wealth each epoch?

[Harkback Union]

Do you gain 1 wealth each epoch?

Depends. not by default
