Bit less than the customary amount

Stop trading giving away our cows! You need all of the cows.

Of course if someone asks for cows in order to keep the clan mood good, then trade them away. Goods are better than cows for trading purposes.

Generally speaking, horses and cows are the worst wealth to give up because they produce more wealth just by existing. Your goods income isn't affected by how many goods you gave so they're safe to trade off, as is food once you have a big surplus. Food is actually great to trade off because anything you don't eat will just rot anyways.

Also there's a button on the caravan menu that affects the size of the caravan you send. I assume you left it unchanged but I find it's usually the right move to always send a large caravan.

Evade + drive off for this combat.

I think someone just earned an upgrade from his hole to a hermit cave!

50 cattle and 8 horses traded for the equivalent of 63 cows. Farnan lost about 20 cows on the deal.

Throw him back in his hole.

Well that didn't go too badly. Losing the weaponthanes sucks, so hopefully Koreng gets back soon with some new recruits. Even though it's probably still early days in the grand scheme of things, I'm getting kinda sick and tired of being on the back foot in these fights and I don't like it.

Mental note: We are going to go build a very deep hole in which to bury the entire Hendarti clan in later :siren:

Osama Bin LadenDangmar, a trader of the Varmandi clan, comes to you requesting the aid of your Eurmal worshippers. "You have a trickster on your ring and thus can help me. I wish you to place a spell of confusion upon a trading partner, Insterid of the Bachad clan, so that she will become confused and offer me an absurd number of sheep for my silver when next I negotiate with her. I will give you ten cows for this service.

Dangmar and his people are our foes, and expect nothing from us. (5)

By putting an Eurmali on the ring, we created the expectation that we would spread trickery and confusion throughout Dragon Pass. But we can trick people by confound this expectation. (4,5)

Of course we should aid this admirable fellow. (3)
How fiscal of you Harran :jewish:

We're stronger than Insterid's clan; we can afford to upset them. (1)

We need all the cows we can get. We should dicker with him, but do not refuse him, even if his offer does not increase much. (2)

Dangmar is well-respected as an honest trader. We have had reason to suspect Isterid's perfidy in the past. (3)

quote:

:eng101: We are currently feuding with the Varmandi.
On the one hand we just got raided by the Hendarti, so gently caress everyone we're feuding with... On the other, we could narrow the clans we're feuding with from 2 down to 1..

- Accept his offer.
- Ask for higher compensation.
- Perform the ritual, asking nothing in return.
- Refuse him, then warn Insterid.
- Refuse him.

See if we can get more money out of him. They are feuding with us after all, so they should totally pay more.

It's good to having 2 clans to feud with so that you can always raid 1 if you establish a truce with another. It's when you get 3 or more you should worry about, because then you'll be raid fodder.

Also, battle sacrifices take magic and you can get interrupted while doing them, so it's generally not a good idea.

If we were friends with his clan, the tears of his victim would be all the pay we would need.

But we are not friends. Ask for more cows, he's gonna get rich off this anyway, and we're basically doing him a favor here, so something like 15 cows is more appropriate.

Actually, this brings up a good point. Could you put up a list of all of our nobles? That way we can start grooming younglings to fill positions later/tell you who to send where and for what.

The Bachad are on the cusp of a feud with us, and are neighbours to both us and the hated Hendarti. If we're not careful, we're going to end up with 3 feuds 2 of which are right on our borders. We can't afford to piss them off anymore, especially since no one else on the goon ring was smart enough to send them gifts. Like me.
