I have never ever sacrificed in battle. I find more often than not they attack me while I'm sacrificing. So I just smash into them. Anyways, Refuse and then warn. We might have a Trickster, but we don't NEED to use him for every single option that lets him shine.

I really wish there was a option that was just "Accept, take his goods, have the trickster hand him a "magical bottle of unguent" that is actually a mixture of piss and poo poo, for him to wear during the negotiations". It's not really lying, since that other trader would certainly be confused.

IAmTheRad posted:I have never ever sacrificed in battle. I find more often than not they attack me while I'm sacrificing. So I just smash into them. I mean if they charge you mid sacrifice all that happens is you lose the benefit of the sacrifice and the cow, no further consequences . And this requires that they pick charge. And that they sacrifice fewer times than you. You actually have a very good chance of succeeding on a sacrifice, though two is significantly more dicey. Orlanthi typically sacrifice and Horse People typically skirmish. Sacrificing to Orlanth increases the odds of winning the "tactics" phase, and Humakt increases the chances of winning the "melee" phase.

A part of us wanted to refuse the deal and warn Insterid, but a much larger part remember that some of us are idiots and keep sending our cows away. So weRawkking posted:Ask for more cows  At last we can retire and give up this life of crime  Goddammit. Alright gently caress it. Cattle raid on the Hendarti  Goddammit.  Goddammit. Alright gently caress it. Sacrifice to Chalana Arrory to learn mysteries We learnt the Hope ability and will allow us to improve our people's morale.  Wait, what's that..   God-loving-dammit We let Farnan out of his hole for one day and look what happens?  Southerners come to your tula, claiming to be agents of the Pharaoh, the tyrannical ruler your people fled when you came to this land. They appear to be sorcerers; at the very least, those strange implements they carry are probably magical weapons. The implements emit a low thrumming sound, the likes of which you have never heard. They are looking for "Belintar's Book," a large tome which they say was stolen from the Pharaoh."  Good news indeed that somebody has stolen an item precious to the Pharaoh! (2) They are sorcerers. They use a kind of magic that all good Orlanthi abhor. (1) Obviously we tell them that we have it. (4)Living the dream, eh Harran?  They would not swagger in here so confidently if they had not the power to back up their bravado. (2,3,4) Tell them the truth. It's not as if they're vampires. (2)But what if they're double-vampires Inganna? Did ya think of that?  They are sorcerers. They use a kind of magic that all good Orlanthi abhor. (1)- "Die now, sorcerous scum!" - "We know nothing of this book." - "We saw the book, but do not have it." - "We bought it, and it's ours now" quote:

Winner by unanimous decisionMeta-Mollusk posted:These guys are your enemies, so kill them and take their stuff!. Wait.. no bad decisions are my half of the LP. Instead we listened to our council. Especially when Dakona posted:The Humakti is advising caution. I think it's best we trust his judgement by saying "We know nothing of this book."  Sorcerers are as bad as vampires, but they die easier.What are you doing Inganna? Nobody mentioned vampires, and it was a really weird thing to bring up in conversation. Are.. are you racist against vampires?.. What are they doing?Oh darling you really are blonde aren't ya. They're pointing their weapons at us Wonderful. So I suppose it's down to Good Ol' Infinitum to decided whether to gently caress up again or not. gently caress IT   Of course we kept the magical murder weapons! I forgot to check them out on the treasure page when I made this post, so I'll see what we got next time.  says they're probably cursed or some poo poo knowing my luck.Puistokemisti posted:I dream of an update that leaves us with at least couple weaponthanes. Sadly it is not this post. -1 Weaponthane It is now Earth Season.  Hurrah. Now I'm not stressing about food. Our people could use cheering up. Ask Chalana Arrory to raise their spirits. Because I wanted to ensure we got Hope blessing, I sacrificed a little more than usual.  Hurrah! Next order of business: Now because someone, who will remain nameless, managed to raise the clans feuding with us from 2 to 3 we're going to raise our defenses a bit. A stake perimeter would help defend against mounted enemies.So what's what we did. At the cost of 40 goods we now have a Stake Perimeter That outta keep Inganna happy   Hurrah Koreng's back!  Didn't we used to have 13 weaponthanes?...Shut up Koreng. Right. Things aren't looking like a complete disaster now. It's also Dark Season  No prob. One Barntar blessing coming up! Right after.. Yanoith, the daughter of a thane, is causing trouble for the ring. She seems to do nothing but agitate against your decisions. She has convinced the carls that you favour the weaponthanes, and the weaponthanes that you favour the carls. She says that you have dishonoured clan ancestors, that your rulings are unjust, and that your management of the clan's wealth leaves much to be desired. Her complaints are unjustified. Nonetheless, the mood of the people will continue to deteriorate if we do not take strong action. (3,5) She shows disrespect for chosen leaders. We are well within our rights to outlaw her. (3) Oh, she doesn't really mean any harm by her words. I rather admire her gumption! (1)Dude she's like 16.. Everyone says that the weaponthanes love her, but I can think of no particular weaponthanes that do. (5) Errath, the Tragic King, failed to act against an enemy in his own clan. That enemy turned out to be mad; she triggered an avalanche, and many of Errath's tribe were buried. She is consumed by spite, and no one knows why. It is unlikely that any argument will satisfy her. (3) She says the carls love her, but secretly they wish she would shut her mouth. (5)What do we do with Little Miss It's-Just-A-Phase-Mum? - Ignore the situation. - Offer her compensation in exchange for her silence. - Outlaw her. - Persuade her that her words harm the unity of the clan. - Threaten her with outlawry - Try to marry her off to another clan. Perhaps the Hendarti...

Marry her off. Also get rid of the weapons. I don't know about the Android/iOS/Steam version but on the GOG version you can actually give a treasure to another clan. Give them away to your distant feuding clan and try to broker for peace in the meantime with marriage.

Well, on one hand, she's an annoying rabble-rouser. On the other hand, she kind of has a point, what with the weaponthane losses, the frivolous cow-spending, the senseless feuding, the not rescuing our people from Hendarti.... Oh yeah! And now we have enriched uranium in our treasure shed. Ask her to join the ring! Failing that, persuade her that her words harm the unity of the clan. Although our lawspeaker's bargaining is poo poo, so that probably won't go over all that well.

She seems set on causing trouble, so I suspect that if we threaten her she'll just point back at us and show how weak we are. So I say we outlaw her. Like it or not kid, "Obey chosen leaders" is one of the laws of Heort, so you either play along or you get kicked out.

Marry her off. As I understand it, for good Orlanthi magic comes from one of three sources, the god, ancestors, and nature spirits. Though in the case of nature spirits, it's ok, but atypical and shamans/spirit talkers are viewed with some suspicion and tend to live apart from other Orlanthi. In all of these cases, the people aren't actually doing anything themselves, but petitioning some manner of higher power to act on their behalf. In contrast, the sorcerous tools bend reality in a way that goes against all Orlanthi customs and beliefs. They are literally unholy, and just owning them hurts our connection with our ancestors and our gods. Get rid of them immediately.

Closing votes off for this round, but I need a hand with how to do the emissary mission the way Haifisch suggested. I also have not forgotten whoever it was who wanted to see all the clan-ring candidates and I'll include it in the coming update.

Persuade her. We have a serious morale problem and I suspect this is the only mood-positive outcome, though it's less likely to succeed than the other options.

Some young upstart comes into the house of Wu and starts trying to run game? She leaves us no choice but toHaifisch posted:Outlaw her. Fresh jams play on her way out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf3jzDb4H7o  -Mood *sigh* Still, probably better than the long term damage this harpy could have caused if we left her alone. Something needs to be done about the clan mood as well I suppose. I think a feast is in order. But first, lets get rid of this raw uranium sitting outside our clan hall. I think it's time we attempted to end our freshly formed feud with Bachad. Best case scenario we get rid of the bad juju Pharaoh rocks. Worst case scenario we end up with 10 foot mutated bug-eyed monster enemies. One can only cross his fingers and hope. Who to send, who to send..  Well Koreng has our highest bargaining skill and he's on the Clan-Ring for that reason. Here's the setup I used, so that you may laugh at me.   Koreng has presented your gifts to the Bachad clan, and extended an offer of peace. The Bachadi seem uncomfortable at accepting such a large amount of gifts, but do not give them back. Garnath, their chief, is noncommital. Penterest, the clan trader, seems receptive. Jotisan, on the other hand, is clearly marshalling arguements why your emissaries should simply be killed. Seven cows would be a minimum. Fifty cows would be good. A hundred would be excellent. (2)Well it's a good thing I sent you with 25 cows and 25 goods then I suppose. - Arrange for a noble male of your clan to marry a noble girl of theirs, and vice versa. - Offer them wealth - Offer them a treasure. If we don't offer them the magic death rocks, I'll be sure to sell them off ASAP afterwards. Infinitum fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Aug 4, 2015 |
