The King's Dragoons... don't ride again?

I started reading the WIP at Chapter 2 and it was fascinating watching everything in this unfold as it was being wrote.

More taxes leads to uppity peasantry which leads to completely legal not war crimes.

Therefor Wulfrum is right.

Wulfram's words must be answered, and I will answer them.

This isn't a Forlorn Hope what is there to be afraid of?

Was that predetermined outcome for us speaking against, or you've flubbed a skill check?

It can "succeed" but it's actually a TRIPLE stat check to get the best outcome.

And it's still lower from the initial draft where it was absolutely nut-so to get.


"He was right to think poorly of me. I was a fool then."

Quite literally! Alaric's barely able bungling in Sabres into actual well-done success in Gun's is still funny to me.

I wouldn't say that, I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think it was worth it. This game is just a lot to digest, as we'll see.

Happy to see you back too, and that I do finally have the chance to lp this one.

Right now though, it looks like we have a tie between the common people and leaving the realm defenseless. Next vote wins, but while we wait for that I've set up some links to the in-game lore reference guide. Good refresher, and there are some new sections too.

Leaving the realm defenseless. Surely he's not that dense?

Lord Cyrahzax posted:

Oh, and I've also been contacted by the author, Paul Wang. If anyone has any questions you'd like me to send his way, please post them!

Can my no-post Choice of Games account be allowed to post in the Infinityverse topics?

As for a semi-real question: When can I finally pal around with Viscount Weir?

"In truth, I miss the army already."

Where's all the killing outside the army?

Qs for Paul.

I was rereading some of the extra articles and was going by the Welles Report Part VII mentions four Dragoons were knighted. Cazarosta is one for sure and presuming the PC for the second but the only other one of note we know is Keane who I don't recall ever being called Sir. So whom are the other two?

Oh, and which of the Steam or COG website purchases would have you see more of a return so I know which one to purchase.

"What brutes they are, to rely upon another to better their own condition!"

When has relying on the upper-class ever worked out for the peasant?

I shall try to inspire them, convince them that we are bound for greater things.

If they want us to solve their problems we'll drat well do it.

The situation is concerning, but surely there's no need for panick.

It's all going to come out nice and peaceful. Wars of Infinity is about some other wars elsewhere.
