Yeah, I definitely had the idea from the beginning post that this was a few generations after the apocalypse; sort of "Now is the time to rise Anew." All that talk about corruption and how it had affected the races probably did it.

But okay.

(I'm going to assume that if we already have shelters, they are crude and ad hoc. Let's do it properly. Weaponcrafting is just a side story, for now...)
Major action: Clear the ground and start a new village. Think basic huts or even log cabins: wooden structure holding up thatched roofs (and thatched walls depending on timber supply). Priority goes to a food storage and serving hall, then family housing, then dedicated workshops and the like.

A The harder the takedown the sweeter the peace that follows.

Either way, I draw our attention to the sheer number of cybernetic enhancements here. I suppose the roll will tell us just how vulnerable they are to our Matrix control, but if we can simply stop his enhancements from responding then this jerk is a big, scary statue. Put him out in the acid rain and wait for him to rust apart. Or threaten that and gain a mook, but he doesn't seem quite our type.

Thought the Tree Spirit moved us to a pit before we astral projected? Eh, no matter.

Thank the spirit, but B.

1) As noted before, all our military bonuses, including superior numbers, should add up to +4-5. Yet Haspen has compressed the list to +1: I surmise that the Crown Prince must be martial also. Said prince, we're told, is leading the wedge attack: my concern is that B) is the least aggressive option and may not be strong enough.

2) Tetan I never said he didn't have our silver. He said he preferred to spend it elsewhere rather than paying us. Any scenario about failing mines or bribing dwarves or really anything is speculation and not confirmed. If he had fair reasons, why didn't he use them to renegotiate? (In addition, I believe the agreement was technically for half the yearly silver output. If the mines are indeed failing then we should still get a share; if played out completely he has no reason to hide it from us.)

3) As for the Elves, it was clear at the presentation that these were rewards as much as gifts. When we no longer held to the conditions by which we obtained it, then we also lost the reward. You want them back? Attacking the Dwarves is closer and possibly easier. (Remember, these sides are locked in perpetual animosity. I have no reason to think the elves are any less strong as an opponent.)

B: "My father let the royals of Lamentia get away with Oath Breaking! [Explain the issue with the promised and withheld alliance and princess] I must show the world that it cannot expect such leniency from me!"

^ That is less likely to reunite the entire empire against us just yet.

B ^ Yeah, that.

We don't. Some genius voted to decide that the best way to Invade Rucus would be to march through Lamentania.

I for one don't understand why there was a plan to go around Lametania in the first place. "Two for one" I think the line was, seemingly not worried that Lametania could strike anywhere on our considerable border in support of their ally while the army is tied up with Damdamians. But then, I don't understand the lingering hostility against the Damdamians (I wasn't around for the first game). Our dealings in this dynasty have been largely neutral or even beneficial (when the Margrave of Ysirene yielded the Ceodwellian gold mines without a fight for our tired soldiers, comes to mind).
