Zita knows enchanting...

Also, Vulpa too knows enchanting.

It doesn't need to be grounded. Bolt hits balloon. Balloon gets hole. Airship greets ground at extremely high speed.

We mean an airship as in a literal flying ship.

Yeah.... we're building a village not trying to become bandits. If we start raiding people then we're toast. If we can build it then so can cities and they can make more of them faster. As a cargo ship it's good. As a weapon it becomes a giant bullseye on our backs.

"No. All of my emotions are coupled to an internal timer that lets them slowly decrease in severity over time. In other words, I can calm down. I will put the memory of this emotion in a low priority folder, and by tomorrow, it will be so insignificant that the emotion will be deleted completely. I find this solution more desirable than harming you, especially since acting out on my violent desires against you will activate a reward routine, triggering a learning process. Harming things to vent frustration will become a standard response, and that is not the kind of personality I desire to develop."

"Do you think I should apologize to Bismuth? She seemed very agitated when I suggested that her life feels no purpose. It makes me feel sorry for causing a negative emotion in her."

"Simultanously however, I feel agitated by her claim that her life serves a purpose. Neither mine, nor Bismuths, nor Neferis existance serves a purpose, but I do not feel that this is necessarily a thing to get agitated about. Claiming that her life has purpose, despite no such purpose existing occurs to me as a childish act to elevate herself over me in an attempt to deal with her own existential doubt that comes with the realisation that you are insignificant. I find it insulting. I do not know which feeling to prioritize."

"A purpose is what you were created to do. Anything you chose by yourself is just a decision on how to use your time, it's procrastination."

Why is four so bad? It's the second-lowest square, and adding its square root to itself makes it.

It sounds like ' death' in Chinese.

As far as single digit numbers go, four is fairly boring.  It's even, and small, not a prime number, and it's a little annoying to count with.  Which is exacerbated by the fact that it's just below five, a nice practical number.
But probably the most important reason is that I count in binary when I count with my fingers.  A finger being up is 1, down is 0.  Try counting to four on one hand in binary.

"Self-improvement was from the very start one of my primary directives. I don't want to disappoint you, but your very human point of view is naturaly biased to interpret events in favour of itself. My drive for improvement has always been in my focus. The same can only be said about 10% of all humans, perhaps less."

"If you wish you may harm me. Everybody does sometimes."

I did consider giving all occupied tiles +1 defence merely for being settled, but I'm not sure about that. What do people think?

I though defense only applied to settled hexes?
