Yeah I dropped them in after the geological survey, all they found was 100k more Corbium

Thanks! Now I just need to wait 5 years for my shipyard to add 5000 tons for a  cargo ship, while my neutronium deposits run out in 3...

Wow, simple machine forums notification mechanics, thanks for telling me this thread was posted on 4 months after I left the page. I'm definitely interested in seeing it go on. Also wanna know if my character is still alive.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the help, I just surveyed Venus so I guess I'll have to go with automated mines and mass drivers. Will the automated mines need upkeep of some kind while on a distant planet?

My most recent adventure felt like a crime thriller movie instead of a short lived blood bath, always ending terribly on my part. It started pretty weird, though. From my starting hamlet (where I acquired two crossbowmen) I made my way to the capital, which was totally barren save the high priest who stood at the top of his temple like a lunatic, and the nobility living in the central keep. I traversed the woods, got ambushed by wolves, ate and drank and slept; the usual. The final goal was to make it to a large town, in hopes that it wasn't as depopulated as the capital.
Once I got there, I started asking people about the surroundings and of any service I can do to them. It was here that I started to hear a rumor about a vampire that's killed hundreds. After sticking my nose around the nobility and townspeople, I head north to the next town, where the vampire is supposedly dwelling. On my way there, I was ambushed by a goblin group, as if someone was trying to keep me out of business that isn't mine. I lost both my crossbowmen, and take an arrow to the right upper arm.
I escape to the closest hamlet, "rest" off my injuries, and recruit a father-daughter crossbow team. I get to the town, and have to locate the vamp in a leather shop. There are roughly 50 leather shops in that goddamn town. We find him, and he's with a peasant. I have a little chat, and finally reveal my intentions. He throws the peasant across the room, but does not kill him. Literally ALL the bolts that hit him were deflected by his leather vest. He manages to get to the young girl (further legends reading revealed she  was 14) in my team, and puts a carving knife through her head, killing here effective immediately. I've been too hesitant to charge with my sword at this point, but go in for a fight. I don't get to fight him, because my remaining crossbowman shoots him right through the eye. I retire, because this has been the only adventurer that hand a somewhat normal ending.

tl;dr - capital was empty, so I go to a town. theres a vamp nearby, I go kill him. he kills a 14 year old and her dad shoots him through the eyes. gg no re.

Well, for a start you could read the OP.

I did. But at this point, I'm not sure if I can catch up with 114 pages worth of a succession game.

This sounds like the basis for an excellent short comic strip, wherein keas routinely visit some plane of oblivion or whatever to drop off their shinies. Maybe they are secretly gods.

A kea god of war and fortresses is worshipped in my fort...

We know where the keas have taken the crown.

In this case, you should offer artifacts regularly.

Woah, woah. I opened this thread up to see what the dawn of time challenge was, and instead I find people posting about falcon monsters and sacrificing human followers. Better than expected. Give me explanation, or I provide devastation.
