Utopia - Age 16: The Age of Discovery

[Lemmy]

20% mills, 20% housing science, 72% draft rate
and i think we're finally heading towards our first war this age (WHOOHOOO!!!) , the oppoising monarch didn't declare peace this time, but attacked our king....i say that's a good sign

I already ran out of stealth burning down houses and kidnapping someone's peasants...i think i will attack him in a couple of hours.

Interesting...Mehul is thinking of replacing Utilization with "Peasant happiness"...

[War4ever]

dont' think i like that too much.....seems far to complicated....but then again, you need a military of 85% to survive these days....

its better to not get too big

[Zopperoni]

Yeah, it's a bit...vague.

On the one hand it makes sense, in the sense that when your pessies are happy, they'll be rutting each other's brains out and work harder, but it doesn't seem quantitative/computable enough to decently work with.

Oh well, we'll wait and see what Punar makes of it

[star mouse]

I knew it was to good to last.

We got declared on a couple of days ago. They also sent a dragon. Ouch. Dragon wars are the norm with top kingdoms.

We have lost land, but are holding our own. We killed their dragon after a day. We also started our dragon, named her Fluffy, and sent her back. She's still having a good old time there, but may not last much longer.

I have lost a few hundred wizards to assassinations, and had my mages sabotaged, but that's it. There's surprisingly few Rogues in the enemy kingdom, so I'm not losing many wizards to assassinations. As you can imagine, having lots of wizards per acre is causing a lot of damage - I am able to cast Meteor Showers without too much trouble, even on some of their thief/mages. I have gained a few hundred honor in two days, and should make Lord fairly soon.

[Zopperoni]

Sounds exciting, Star Mouse, good luck

I'm trying to end our current War. We would have easily won the War if there wasn't for a 2,500 acre Elf defecting into the enemy Kd from somewhere else

[War4ever]

plus we had that one dude who didn't like your rule

sounded like a jerk.....good riddance.....

too bad i ddin't hold my land......

[Zopperoni]

Good riddance indeed, the guy was a bloody fraud; he claimed to be a former Monarch, but he didn't even know how to lower his Trade tax

War Report

I am in a high-ranking kingdom, although we are no longer in the top 50 due to the war.

Brief history of the war:

They declared with a dragon. They made lots of attacks and had most of the kingdom starving. I escaped starvation thanks to some speed-built farms, fertile lands and NB. We sent a dragon back and killed their dragon. They sent another dragon. We started another dragon, they started a third. They then withdrew from the war. They cancelled their third dragon, but we sent ours. Two dragons each is fair. In the meantime another kingdom declared on them, and they lost most of what they gained from us.

We got beaten up a bit, but came through mostly intact. Some of our attackers suffered greatly and as a result the kingdom lost about 500K networth.

I had wizards assassinated but finished the war with more wizards than I started with. I finished up gaining about 500 honor.

Here's my CB - I have purposely masked some values. Note my wizard and thief ratios - this is *not* recommended if your kingdom wars a lot because your wizards would be food. I maintain lots of watchtowers to protect them.

I will post an uncensored CB at the end of the age.

I would be a little careful ... it's not unusual for provinces to experience a period of below-average rainfall after appearing in my news ...

[Zopperoni]

I am

My last focus for the round is to try and get 110% Utilization with 70 dpa, 5 tpa, and 3 wpa.
If my calculations are right, I should be able to pull it off on the last day...
