Ok if no one is against i ll extend to 48 hours from the next turn.

Fomoria's chances at being a dominant power in this world are slim to none. Because of my unsuccessful early war with Mictlan, I find myself in the late-mid game with little territory and few soldiers. However, I do have an impressive array of powerful giant mages and can last quite a while from a defensive standpoint.

In light of this, I would like to offer Fomoria's services to the other nations at large in forging magical items. I have a large number of powerful Air mages and access to powerful Water, Nature, and Death magic, as well. If I cannot dominate the game, I can at least ensure my continued existence through my continued usefulness.

You provide the gems required for forging and a gold price which we will agree upon through private messages, and I will forge the item and send it to you. Consider this the grand opening of the Fantastic Fomorian Item Forge (TM).

Who have dared to steal me the craft of the rod of death & rod of dark regency ??

lol the robe of callius as well as many others are gone this turn ... there is some kind of rush in crafting ^^

[Anaconda]

How are the prices in general? I might not wipe you out if you sell me something, you know.

[LongBrodie]

Well, Anaconda, since the idea is that I'll be forging items that you probably can't get on your own without a great deal of investment anyway, I think it's fair to ask a pretty hefty sum of gold in return for my services, say a baseline of 50 gold per magic level required for the crafting? And say, double that amount for boosters, since they're so much more valuable. So a Weightless Scalemail or Chainmail of Displacement would cost 100 gold, and a Winged Helm would run you 400. I think that's pretty reasonable.

Of course, I'd have to charge more for Water and Nature items, since I have less mages with those paths. Maybe an extra 25 gold per level for those items. So... 225 for a Wave Breaker, for example.

Of course, this is open to haggling and you may want to bribe me with gems, instead.

lol it's the first shopping mall i see in this game

[Bullock]

Well, since i don't have any spy (because none of my province can product any...) i won't tolerate anymore spies on my lands... From now on any spy caught on my lands will be considered as an act of war.

Something seems odd here with my 10% random magic picks on commanders. It's turn 38 and I have yet to recruit a mage with one that has actually gotten a pick. That's with some 50+ Deer Tribe Shamans, Anointed of Rhuax, and Master Warlocks. Could this be a bug or just bad luck?

I don't have any mages with any other percentage picks.

[Anaconda]

I have noted the same thing with Jaguar tribe shamans and Lion tribe witch doctors. I get one additional magic skill for every 25 trained, or even less /in different games thou/.

[dojango]

In a game I played as LA Pythium, I didn't get a 1N1B reveler until year 2, and that was with a 1 in 4 chance.... Sometimes random is random. Remember that each additional recruit is still a 1 in 10 shot.
