D'Oh, you are correct! I only checked the "benchmark ships", which end with class 8.

Acknowledged, and added.

Nice read, and great to see the Quinnsville Chronicler back in action!

Great build, and excellent story! Very fitting for Oleon in general and your character in particular. Well done!

The currently available classes end at 8, so I guess we have to wait a bit for that. This one is a class 10, no doubts about it - those do not have full rules yet. Please ignore this!

Great rework overall, really looking much better already! THe sixshooter needs another placement though: as it is now, it will shoot the front sails off.

Sheesh, what a beast! Great work though, it looks excellent. Any chance we can get a few seperate builds representing the interior? In the real world, ships of this size rarely saw battle, if at all. The needed extremely quiet waters, or the lowest gundeck would be flooded. They were built for prestige, not for battle. It is only appropriate that the most important nation has on of these! All hail the Queen!

Excellent build, and befitting of a Royal Society! Keeping the interior "open" for the future is a good idea. If you look closely on the right side, you can see that there is a complete building behind the facade. This piece in green.

Sponsorship is not the same as being responsible for the content. I do have to speak a word or two with @Mesabi for this unfortunate misstep though...

Great to see this one back in action! NIce writing too. One objection though... This is wrong on all accounts! Never has the "WTC Monthly" provided factually false information - outside of two issues that were obvious comedy - and all its recipes were tested by a competent cook (myself). Calling out "fake news" only puts you in one line with certain orange utans. Burning down your house is... well, bad luck? How about not doing it again next time? The WTCM hopes to never read accusations like the ones above. Please note: lawyers from the WTC are the best in the Brick Seas. Beware of legal action!

After the long break, the "Eltina Courrier" is in print again! Check out the newest issue here.

Oooh, shiny. Welcome @Ross Fisher, and good luck on your adventures!

Stupid question number 93,4: is the requirement of CatA on a per-player basis, or do I have to do one build per character? For example: I do want to send characters Alois and Bobby - do I have to provide one CatA build or two?

An offer has been made here.

21st day of the 6th month, 618 King's Harbour, Cocovia Dear Mr. Joseph Zumbro, the Royal Society of Navigation and Discovery has reviewed your application with interest. We would like to offer you an important position in our society, namely appointing you the "Supreme Officer of Unusual Supplies". You will be in charge of ressource aquisition in areas where the common means proved to be futile. There will be a squad of veteran marines guarding you at all times. If you agree to take this position, we expect you to report for duty in Jameston as soon as possible. With kind regards, Wilbur Epper II., Chairman of the Royal Society of Navigation and Discovery ============================================================== @Mesabi The reaction to this offer is up to you. If you accept: please write a letter to the RSND informing them of your choice. If you have the time, you can support this with a build showing Joseph either leaving from where he is now or arriving in Jameston (this is not mandatory though). If you hae any questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks for bringing this up... ... and thank you for acting so swiftly. There was one small typo: it is "RSND" - as in "Royal Society of Navigation and Discovery" - not the currently listed "RNSD".

Good to get some confirmation on that detail. With Oleon, you never know. So apart from pretty much giving up any chances of winning CatB or its subcategory there is no ingame effect other than IC ill will from the Order for smuggling idols/artefacts/whatnot off the island, correct? That is a trade-off I would happily accept for the WTC to be honest...

Yeah... I do not think so to be honest. You can not kill one of my characters without my consent - at least that was the consensus in this game last time I checked - and you will not get mine over this. There is some wording about a "death sentence" (which is not identical with being killed), most likely to be enforced by somebody from the Order? Not that I speak for the WTC, but I think they would react rather rudely to any attempts at their lives. Some might put it as "I want to see them try", but we do not want open war over some profitable artefact business, right? Thanks for clearing that up.

Also also: what happens when a party actually disobeys the Orders orders? Like smuggling artefacts away or something... Finally: I assume the natives come from a variety of different tribes, so we are free to use different versions of minifigs (with the old islanders being just one option of many)?

I am not sure what the requirements for the CatB subcategory of the idol are. What are we supposed to build there, and what aspects are judged with what criteria? Also: am I correct in assuming that the CatA builds only have to be able to be licensed, but do not actually have to be licensed by the building player?

Excellent. Of course, and we will acount for anything in our story to be backed up by "the proper numbers". There will be no Tony appearing out of the blue on a raft this time! It does, thank you.

@Bregir Interesting turn of events for sure, a couple of questions though: We do not have any "options" this turn, is this correct? The way to go is "build the pirate nest, next turn the story will continue"? I assume we have some degrees of freedom with the pirate hideout, as well as with additional things we would like to do this turn? Am I correct that we can add more ressources - e.g. ships and troops - for the coming turn? Thanks in advance, and as usual those thanks go to the whole team!

No, never stop! Skål!

Aye, looking great! I am now even more looking forward to the event.

@Captain Genaro / @Phred While you are at it: the settlement growth has not been added either.
