swimsuit posted:wait i thought winter was the raiding time and if you did poo poo when it wasnt winter it hosed your harvest and stuff like in kodp  Fire season is the raiding time just like it was in KoDP. The description of the season is even something like "While the crops grow you have time to raid!" The 5 seasons are Plant -> Raid -> Harvest -> Do internal clan stuff because the weather is hosed -> Maybe risk going outside but you still might get hosed by the weatheredit: you can basically do anything else but raid during the agricultural seasons without disrupting your food production though -- diplomatic missions, exploration, etc, are all fine. Raiding is bad though because your soldiers/bows (depending on which game you're playing) are just farmers picking up arms, your weaponthanes/swords are the only actual trained full-time soldiers

you can raid fine in storm also although i think weather effects are more likely to stop you and waste a turn. I got an exploration weather event in fire where my war leader got bonked on the head by a giant hailstone and was wounded for a few seasons

Pewdiepie posted:I’ve been raiding the Tricorn clan so much that their allies came to me and told me that I’m going to learn what it’s like to be continually assaulted by a merciless opponent. How much longer until I wipe the tricorns off the face of the map? I’ve been raiding them 2-3 times a year for probably 10 years now. Is this KoDP or 6A? I'm not sure if it's actually possible in the latter (it might be, just haven't done it) but I'm KoDP it can happen pretty quickly if you consistently choose "burn stead's" or "kill as many as possible" and win raids. They may not be completely wiped out but if they live anywhere close to you they'll pack up and move to the other side of the map

I know in KoDP if the Ice Demons are your ancestral enemy it fires up the clan and makes them better raiders in Storm/Dark but I've had limited success otherwise. also to 6A players is there a best season to do otherside rituals in? Could it depend on the god? I always assumed Storm was best in KODP because, Orlanth, but maybe it's Fire in Six Ages? Maybe it doesn't matter at all and I'm projecting my own superstition?

I've noticed In 6A the consequences for raiding in winter can be much more severe; instead of just a little "we slipped on the ice and had to go home  " I've had like every member of my 60 man raiding party get sick from going out in those conditions lol. I think the cold weather is much much more bitter in 6A for story reasons though

Do they Fear you? They offered me one time tribute for peace, and I said I’ll take annual tribute but they weren’t into it. They fear me, owe me a favor, and are feuding me. They’re also my next door neighbor so I do t see why they haven’t left. I kill about 30 of their adults every year. They also at one point a few years ago got so desperate they summoned a stegosaurus which was an issue until I ordered a 61 year old woman to kill it.

My retarded clan has failed at decorating the clan hall many many years in a row and they say I need more craft magic at sacred time but I only have 1 tick of craft magic available and I use it most of the time.

Having a worshipper of a god on your ring gives you extra slots to put magic in their associated discipline, i forget who the crafting god is but do that

goferchan posted:In response to both of y'all, Six Ages definitely maintains the challenge and mystery of King of Dragon Pass but it's also a lot more user-friendly (and yes, the manual is extremely helpful). It's also chronologically set much earlier than KoDP so I think it's a great game to start with -- you'll miss out on a few fun nods to KoDP if you haven't played it (like running into the ancestors of the tribe you played in that game and perceiving them as uncivilized barbarian retards) but it's a lot more polished if only because it's a game that came out in 2018 instead of 1999. David Dunham is cool but Robin D. Laws also did a lot of writing for both games.

goferchan posted:Hell yeah . post your clan generation picks.... so far in my experience, even though every choice has mechanical impact, ancestral enemy has the biggest story impact. I reckon the main god you choose to bring with you at the beginning is also really significant though (although that might basically be this games version of picking a war/peace clan? Can't tell) Sounds epic

It's really fun seeing the rams from the perspective of another clan after playing as them in KoDP. I like the event where your advisor mocks them like "We are rams! We value freedom above all else! Oh, but we keep slaves." Also I managed to successfully train 2 of my pyromancer kids... managed to successfully send one of them to complete the Elmal Guards The Sunpath ritual at age 17 to strengthen his abilities and god drat that ugly little kid is gonna be a beast. His sister wanted to marry some guy in another clan but I had to veto it lol, she's not ever leaving my clan circle.

I kept two pyro kids, one is the girl who wanted to marry someone outside which I also nixed. The other kind of sucks actually. The third kid said he was going on some journey so I gave him magic, haven’t seen anything else from him yet.

If you send them on the Sunpath ritual it acknowledges that they have the gift of flame from Elmal and I assume it boosts their odds. Do that with the "strengthen abilities" reward and you can get them to Heroic combat overnight

in general based on my KoDP experience it can be better to have younger clan ring members with weaker stats than it is to have really old dudes with great stats, just because the former have the potential to improve over time and will eventually surpass their elders in a decade or two

Bolverkur posted:I really don't pay attention to family ties.

Every time someone dies or whatever I just sort my citizens by family and see which one is no longer represnted on the ring and add one of them

Every time I do elmal guards the sun path my quester dies and now I’m too scared to risk it again (don’t have enough old bastards to kill off). Anyways I’m nearing the end of my game. I lost it once and did a restore. i sent the pottery child Beren to a duel to the death and he died. Then his best friend came to my clan and called us a bunch of assholes for killing Beren. Then a new clan of ram people who could ride horses showed up and they were looking for a specific clan Tula. I told them they should go to the only ram clan that is allied to me instead and they went there, killed their clan leadership, took over the clan, then destroyed my clan. Game over. I think all those events were related.

What do you do if you're low on food? Raid? I'm not sure what I can do to increase foodstock except having certain blessings active and not raiding during planting (and maybe harvesting).

Raiding during planting or harvesting is almost never a good decision-- your "bows" are just your farmers taking up arms to help you fight, so when you send them off on raids they're ignoring the fields and food can suffer a lot. Sometimes you may get an event where something really hosed up happens during a farming season and the right call is to immediately send off a raiding party, and in those cases you just have to suck up the penalty. As for increasing production, having lots of herds help, the relevant blessings and shrines (and there are a ton of them, if you can swing them all you'll have a surplus forever) also make a big difference if you can afford the upkeep. I always try and trade/sacrifice goods instead of cattle as long as it won't leave me short of what I need to upkeep my temples -- they're worth the same, and cows have the benefit of producing more cows and producing food, while goods just sit around being useless. If you have a lot of people sick or wounded, that will negatively impact food production, so keep an eye on those numbers and sacrifice to heal them if necessary. Otherwise you can always trade for food or ask allies/people who owe you a favor to help out and they'll usually provide. I think the only time the game lets you actually acquire food from raids is when your people are starving -- I believe raiding for food is considered a major "broke bitch" move and unless your clan is literally dying of hunger they're too proud to do it. There's also the Foraging venture if you're desperate edit: oh yeah cattle raids are ok because you're usually just sending out like a dozen people tops
