Ritual -> Nyalda



I failed to get a screenshot of the various options (Busenari, Dostal, Erissa, Nyalda, Spirits, I think), but it turns out the ritual was free. No clan mood boost but our relations presumably went up.



Well. Not free, exactly.

Endarei 12, Late Storm Season

I recommend that we do something now that we can't do in Dark. Weather in Storm is a little trickier than in Sea-Fire-Earth, but not a big problem.



- Send an emissary to give gifts to somebody. I'll do a followup vote on this if it wins.
- Seek an alliance with somebody. The only clan with whom this would be virtually guaranteed to work are the Brilliant Hoof, who are not our neighbors.
- Seek a trade route with somebody. We have no exotic goods (usually obtained by searching our clan lands), but our first caravan to a given clan is generally received favorably, they may themselves be seeking trading partners, and we have no trading partners and therefore no annual market.
- Send a caravan to make a one-off trade with somebody. As above, our first caravan is generally received favorably, whether it's for a trade route or a single trade session. We have enough goods and food to trade for herds right now, to my mind.
Specifically, the circle informs me that we are no longer suffering a year-by-year food yield shortage, and we haven't even restored our pastures yet. Note: sending a caravan to every clan of a certain culture increases our trade route cap by 1. Similarly, sending an emissary to every clan of a certain culture increases our alliance cap by 1. Each of these may also make it easier to trade with / befriend that culture.
- Explore our clan lands.
- Write in something else.

Explore our clan lands.

Reminder to anyone voting that, presumably like in KODP, our clan lands are bigger than you'd think, including lots of wildlands along with the parts we actually live and work on. It'd be more obvious if you could see clan borders, but I'm not sure if that's a UI feature here.

Clan borders pop up and highlight as you click around the map but I believe there's no always-on feature for them

It is! You can click clan names and

uh

i don't know how to show your own borders, but let me go figure it out.

Edit: It does in fact pop up when you start the explore instruction, thought that might be the case.

Raid-related very mild spoiler: The Aryash-Tev are our only non-Rider neighbors, so the Brilliant Hoof would be a good choice if we decide the Aryash-Tev are our designated bludgeonees in the future. They'd be less useful than a direct neighbor for keeping us forewarned on defense, though.

I'm glad to see they fixed/are fixing a couple things that annoyed me with the Steam KODP release, like the UI(which was technically functional but obviously not adjusted for the mobile->PC transition) & the lack of additional save slots. Now if only it were 2019 already.

Anyway, trade routes gets us to annual market and maybe we’ll get some before the year ends

Read this wrong and had to frantically re-read the AMA to find where he said tht they were going to fix the touchscreen crap and add multiple save slots to Steam KODP.

He didn't. :(

Explore is very popular, with "and we also like trade routes" being secondary - I may do a 1-2 season update tonight, depending on the Event Gods. I hope I get a Late Storm event, because otherwise I have to handle Sacred Time and also want to start opening things up a little in terms of mechanicsplaining after our first year quasi-tutorial, but I definitely cannot be bothered to do the latter tonight.

We're close to them but I'm pretty sure we're the ancestors of Harmast, one of the best of the best of the best of Orlanthi, which would make for an incredible 6 age arc. If we're who I remember us being from the Guide our descendants choices could make for one of the greatest Total War games ever conceived. The Bearded Wind vs the Larnsting's and the true Storm Voices+vampires+trolls+dragons+I loving hope we get a game set in the first age.

Long live Arkat Kingtroll or whatever the gently caress he is/was.

Dragon Pass and the Kerofinelea region in general is the crossroads of Genertela and is the place most fans of the setting are familiar with.

1) They're really not.
2) Yes. Dragon Pass is very well explored in the pnp games and other writing. The sun nomads are important in the overall big history.
