What are the numbers atop the 4 broad categories, like "Physical +0.05"? They don't seem to be factored into skill growth bonuses like with the smaller categories, so what do they represent?

~~Completion of skill category. Note that we have one skill in the Physical skills tree at 50%. We have one skill out of 12 at 50%. That's about 5% or 0.05 (actually 4.2% but whatever).~~

Welp. I was wrong. Misremembered, I guess.

They are how much extra points you get for a category. So all physical category classes get .05 times 5 days each week, or .25 extra points. Each extra week increases the category bonus by .01 and the set bonus by .1.

It looks like a different formula, given that in every skill category the category bonus is just our total skillpoints in that category divided by 1000. In social, we have 20 points, and receive a +0.02 skillpoints/day bonus to training, and so forth for the other categories.

Now that the puppy has been initiated in the ways of internal affairs, we should prepare it for ventures beyond our borders. It will need to learn the arts of seduction and genetic warfare, so train Falcons to build rapport with the great storks that shall deliver countless litters to the enemy kennels, sired by our secret agent. Then, train ciphering so that we may develop a common language for all of these newborn canine infiltrators to report with, from all corners of the world.

This. Having a good understanding of whats going on in your country as well as whats going on outside it is important to a good ruler.

Put me down for Swords too. Manure plots can only get you so far before you need to sword someone in the face in person.

Internal Affairs and Foreign Intelligence

After that, whatever activities we need to change over to a mood where Royal Demeanor and Conversation have some bonuses, because even more important than knowing what you're doing is knowing how to look and sound like you know what you're doing.

I think most people just learned a bit from the previous lp. Of course some of us has played the game too.

Since this lp will have multiple playthroughs, that probably counts as spoilers.

They can't be discussed unless I've talked about them or give the OK. I'll drop this rule on the last playthrough.

It's a short update today.

Learning intrigue throws a lot of currently meaningless names at us, but it should be useful for Elodie (and by extension, us) to actually know what the gently caress is going on.

(It's the Duchess of Ursul! Maybe I should go and say hello.)

Then you notice that seated beside her is a woman in the robes of a priestess. They are very close together, their hands gently touching as they speak.

(Looks like she's busy!)

You turn and walk in a different direction, so as not to disturb them. At that moment, you notice something unusual. It looks like someone just left the palace grounds by going over the hedge. Was that a servant? A thief? Or... an assassin?

What should we do? Also, what classes should we take next week? Elodie's strongest emotion should still be willful.

Climb to look over the hedge, nothing could go wrong! :downs:

This no time for unnecessary risk call the guards and show this would be assassin no mercy. Also let's train our swords and agility because before long we will need to kill somebody.

Seyser Koze: Dec 15, 2013; Mucho Mucho; Nap Ghost

It's just a hedge, I'm sure even a sheltered 14-year-old with zero climbing skill could do it.

Assuming we don't get assassinated today, Foreign Intelligence and Naval Strategy.
