You read this too.

No, I haven't played HMM.

What do you mean buildings can do everything research can? A caravan can make itself support more?

I do believe he's referring to this.

dux_is_me · 06-07-2007, 01:30 AM

Chunky Kong12345 · 06-07-2007, 01:52 AM

Then how do the build upgrades come about? Huh? HUH!?

You almost feel like these lands are not part of this universe.
You are aware that wandering into enemy territory in search of a legendary artifact (of which existance you aren't even certain) means having to choose between following and being followed. You have already found several recruits for yourself, but will another leader force you onto your knees? There's only one way to find out.

Day 2

New item: The almighty traditional spear, redesigned for MMX2. (25c, equip, +1 to attack)

ChunkyKong12345 (Goombas):
Funds: 108c
Rations: 54
Artifacts: Caravan x2 (7/10), Warp pipe x2

Notes: You do realize you made an impossible move, right? You recruited more Toads than you could, since you did it before building the second Caravan. Thus, I changed your move to "recruit 3 Toads, build a Flagpole, recruit 2 more Toads, build a Caravan, recruit 5 more, gather with Toads 5-10, buy 40 rations".

Notes: Wow, you're even more of a hardcore maximizer than PT, or so it seems. I wonder where this will lead...

Breadlord Dragoshi · 06-07-2007, 04:58 AM

I have three Koopas invest 12E into Gathering Artifacts, then have them build a new Caravan (365c remaining), hire 3 new units (95c remaining, 2 units can still be hired), buy three Moneybags (20c remaining), then have them gather resources (100c). I then buy another 20 rations (60c remaining.)

Toads can't play bagpipes.

Sarai and Samiel · 06-07-2007, 11:34 AM

They *are* them.

Chunky Kong12345 · 06-07-2007, 12:57 PM

So you're saying that Toads are bagpipes? No wonder Peach keeps them around.

Breadlord Dragoshi · 06-07-2007, 01:12 PM

Does that mean every time they walk they make the sounds bagpipes make? >_>

dux_is_me · 06-07-2007, 02:23 PM

Decree number 1.
I rule that Toads are not bagpipes, though you can name them that if you want.

**Prince Toad** · 06-07-2007, 02:47 PM

Oh yeah. I seemed to think that I needed 80 rations, and that... um... yeah, I have to adjust to the new system.

Crafting 4 warp pipes with building energy from Toads 1-8. (0 c)

Toads 1-4 (warp pipe): RG, 5 energy. (80 c)

Crafting another warp pipe with building energy from Toads 9-10. (60 c)

Toad 5 (warp pipe): RG, 5 energy. (80 c)

Buying 40 rations. (0 c)

Toads 6-10: RG, 4 energy. (80 c)

SephirothKirby · 06-07-2007, 03:07 PM

ShyGuy 7:

Then I buy 80 rations. -160c.

Also, Selene makes my head wanna go boom.

Chunky Kong12345 · 06-07-2007, 07:49 PM

Stop building Caravans.

Sarai and Samiel · 06-07-2007, 09:56 PM

We seem to be ready to move on to day 3.

dux_is_me · 06-08-2007, 12:51 AM

Breadlord Dragoshi · 06-08-2007, 12:35 PM

Have three of the Koopas without Moneybags invest all their energy into Artifact Gathering, while the fourth invests half of it's energy. I then have the Moneybagless Koopa Gather Resources. (68c) I then buy 16 rations (36c, 64r) and have the remaining Koopas Gather Resoucres (118c).
