Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-V-It's-Mostly-Chicken-Based-Actually
I'm catching up on trades for the last couple of rounds and I have a couple of queries/issues to raise. I apologise for leaving it this long to do them and thus turn some of these up.
South Avenue Trade Route
There are a number of gaps on this route - too many gaps for the route to be kosher. In numerical order the regions I have on the route are 253B, 254, 254B, 256B, 277B, 279B, 280, 280B, 285, 287, 289, 290, 292, 294, and 302, for a total of 15.
As far as I can tell there is no connexion between 277B and 279B; the route would have to go through 278B (or a hypothetical 258B). There is also no border between 294 and 302. And there are more gaps where 286, 288 and 295 were removed, so 287 doesn't connect to either 285 or 289 and 285 doesn't have a border with 294. One of these gaps can be ignored thanks to Long-Haul Caravans, but not all of them. Given that Cobblestone Roads only extends the maximum length above 14 if it's entirely a land route it's questionable this would count given that the border between 295 and 294 is ostensibly a water one (although if someone has Celestial Navigation that's ok; albeit 295 isn't on the route anyway any more). Unless I have missed something, as things stand this route doesn't work at all.
Koya, Jungle Jaunt
[Curiosity] Add Region 120 and 121 to the Jungle Jaunt trade route
Tychris
I don't know which region Garmr is, so I haven't added it to the Terror Trail yet.
New Artistry Tradeway
An actions conflict here: the Grey Diedruch tried to buy this route out in the same round as the League tried to abolish it (and add the regions to a different route, which if we'd been thinking more clearly could probably have been done with a buyout of our own). I presume this goes to a roll-off?
Dimple
You mixed up your regions again and listed the ones that were already on the route incorrectly. I've put all those that you indicated you wanted on the route on it.
I'll hold off posting the updated table until at least some of the above is resolved.Last edited by Aedilred; 2016-07-24 at 09:08 AM.

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-V-It's-Mostly-Chicken-Based-Actually
Long Haul Caravan is how that's connecting.
There is also no border between 294 and 302. And there are more gaps where 286, 288 and 295 were removed, so 287 doesn't connect to either 285 or 289 and 285 doesn't have a border with 294. One of these gaps can be ignored thanks to Long-Haul Caravans, but not all of them. Given that Cobblestone Roads only extends the maximum length above 14 if it's entirely a land route it's questionable this would count given that the border between 295 and 294 is ostensibly a water one (although if someone has Celestial Navigation that's ok; albeit 295 isn't on the route anyway any more). Unless I have missed something, as things stand this route doesn't work at all.
Also, I suppose 294 to 302 is strange, but I believe that looked like it was an actual sea inlet when he did that. However, I thought corners worked. Quinton told me that 254 and 288, for example, border each other. I guess it depends how you interpret that gap in the borderline there, but the same logic theoretically applies.Last edited by EtuBrutus; 2016-07-24 at 09:46 AM.

Notes about Ruler Scores:
- BSTommy, please re-roll your luck. After the roll, I will add the +1 from this round.
- Geckus, thank you for re-rolling luck, but please be sure to mention the Luck expenditure in your post. I almost missed it. That said... you actually don't get to re-roll. As of the start of round 21, you had 11 Luck. Even if you did spend Luck 10 (which is what I am assuming happened, but please confirm), you'll end up with '1' Luck... which doesn't really change your expectations much, since that's what you rolled, but... had it been higher, I wouldn't have been able to give it to you.
- New Players (specifically firedaemon), please check to make sure your stats are correct
- Everyone - and I do mean EVERYONE - please re-confirm that your Luck totals are correct. There were many luck expenditures this round, and it is possible that I may have typo'd somewhere and deducted from someone who didn't spend Luck. I don't think that happened (comparing old stats to new, it looks fine), but I'd appreciate your eyes on your own stats at least. If you should have less (or more!) Luck then you have listed here, please speak up in the thread.

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-V-It's-Mostly-Chicken-Based-Actually
You would think so, but when the stats are not arranged in the order I'm used to, I make mistakes
For future reference (and what remains of my sanity), Empire stats are ordered as below. There is no special reason why they are in this order. There is no reason why they couldn't be ordered differently. But if they are not in the following order in IC posts (especially for new rulers), I am more likely to make mistakes. The GM team and it's helpers are used to seeing the stats in this order:
Diplomacy
Military
Curiosity
Faith
Luck
That said, I'm correcting things now.
Correcting things now, thank you.
Shush, the both of you. Do not question me with your logic and facts and math! It's been a long week.
[Edit]Tommy, your Luck has been updated accordingly.Last edited by Gengy; 2016-07-24 at 11:18 AM.

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-V-It's-Mostly-Chicken-Based-Actually
I'm hosting the Majestic Tournament this round and everybody's invited. (specifically the Aeldir and Nemeria so we can finish up deals and stuff) However, I might not be able to get the thread up until later tonight, because I have DND to go to. I'll try to get it done before I leave, just... be aware.

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-V-It's-Mostly-Chicken-Based-Actually
Another region for Quinton when he has the time.
Spoiler: Region 127127- Gelummus
People:
The people of Gelummus are Furfolk of light grey fur. Their pointed ears are slightly more pointed than usual, as are their snouts. Their fur is also a bit thicker. In the southern plains of the region tribes of marauders wander the wilderness. They pass their time by killing animals, to eat and clothe themselves but also for pleasure, and by raiding their northern brothers. Most of the population is found in the northern mountains where a small amount of silver is extracted. There they live in small villages and caves. They fortify the paths up to keep the barbaric southerners out of their homes and mines.
Religion:
A Pale Lady minority has managed to reach all the way down to the south.
The Majority of people, however, practice a similar religion to the Koldmen of Starkold. They worship a variety of gods, each representing a different animal.
Terrain:
The Lynx tooth mountains rise up in the north bringing lynx and mountain goats into the region. Heading south it becomes progressively flatter and colder. Very little vegetation grows but that that does seems to be sufficient for rabbits and the occasional caribou to sustain themselves. Near the southernmost border polar bears sometimes come up to find food but they usually meet with little success as the wolves and barbarians that wander the region provide quite a bit of competition.
Resource: Silver (minor) is extracted from the mountains but fuel is needed to keep the people warm in the frigid weather.total-cluster**** of yogurt, drugs and sheep in EMPIRE!

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-V-It's-Mostly-Chicken-Based-Actually
Since you are updating the tables, I feel it behooves me to mention that region 472's resource quality is at great, not good. As I expended a curiosity 5 on upgrading it way back when I started. Did not notice the discrepancy until earlier, as I was browsing the table to see if particular resources were available anywhere in the world, yet.

Surprise! Everyone receives a second reward for making it this far! (Not stats this time!)
Click for your reward!
..But really, I have an actual thing here to present. The map for round 22, now with bloodstained northern snow that was both so dearly missed and required a very long time to move from the old map to the new one and clearer colors for some places where things were starting to get confusing.

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-V-It's-Mostly-Chicken-Based-Actually
Gengy, I spent L10 the round before last, which your table doesn't appear to have accounted for. Current luck total should be 10 rather than 20 (as entertaining as it would be to throw 20 luck at something. )

There's only Luck 10s, but Luck's actual pool is unlimited and you can spend luck twice per round.
Also, the majestic tournament. I'll fix any issues with it when I get home.Hate me if you want. But that's your issue to fix, not mine.

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-V-It's-Mostly-Chicken-Based-Actually
I spent a Luck 10 in Round 20, reducing my Luck to 0; the re-roll was for the beginning of round 21, though I only got around to rolling it right at the end (I think I should be going into round 22 with 2 Luck - 1 from the re-roll at the start of Round 21 +1 for the round). I hope that clarifies and was at least close to the correct way of doing it.
