Will make a post tonight! I assume the tribe will have to gather the same amount of food as it has members to maintain its population?

Oh yes; sorry. I posted about that at first, but then it seemed like just extraneous writing. Indeed, every follower requires one food every day to not suffer ill effects.

Camping inactives may be a way to victory in mobile games, but not in RP :P

Aw, what? But fighting inactives still has many downsides. Not only can they kill and injure your people, but if you want to outnumber them, you need most of your tribe to be fighters, meaning you can do little else that day.

Very temporarily, sure. But it is easy to outnumber an inactive tribe and thence beat them down in a turn or two, at which point you double your resources.

Hmm? You don't get free access to a tribe's resources when you defeat them, and you can only injure them, not kill them, meaning it'll always be a fight to take their stuff.

Actually, you can totally kill them. That's what Assaults are for.

You still need a 10 to kill, don't you? Even if you have 8 followers, it's hard to kill anyone.

Sure, it's just a matter of time though. Then you have more resources than others, significantly so.

Even so, you still need people to gather food while assaulting, meaning you would only slightly outnumber them, if at all.

Another question, are sick people prayers and worship just as effective as healthy people prayer and worship?

How much does it cost to buy a new Aspect slot?

Is "not a blood diamond" a high enough bar for a wedding ring? Artificial gemstones are better-looking, more ethical, and made out of PURE SCIENCE™.

That would be correct, yes. Or you pay only five to swap one of your current Aspects for a different one. Or you pay ten and create a new Aspect entirely and adopt it.

On a side note, would anyone be willing to act as my sounding board for my own Aspect/Innovation ideas? I don't have any trouble doing them myself, but a second view on balancing is something I would appreciate.

Marvelous, my thanks. I think it's a good measure to make sure everything is properly balanced.

TGing is better so the OOC doesn't get super cluttered; I'd prefer to avoid most posting here if possible, so the OOC looks less intimidating to any prospect recruits.

I'm assuming the 1.1 rounds up, and not off, so it goes from 5 to 6 to 7...to 20, to 22 and so forth. EDIT: In fact, that's the only sensible interpretation, given that rounding off would make it permanently 5. Let's go with that one then.
