Realm Rank: 10
Realm's Total Resources Used: 100/100%
Current Tasks
Transportation Gates
Leader: Madala Hawkwine
Task Rank: 10
Task Difficulty: Critical (50%)
Investment: 53% (+3% Madala Hawkwine)
Magic gates are the gold standard for easy movement, but are also expensive and difficult to make. This is a big investment.
Transportation Ships
Leader: Delaize
Task Rank: 9
Task Difficulty: Serious (20%) (Moderate and 10% due to task rank.)
Investment: 10%
At least islands know ships, so setting up shipping is possible if expensive.
Infrastructure
Leader: Janise
Task Rank: 9
Task Difficulty: Moderate (10%) (Light and 5% due to task rank.)
Investment: 5%
Building roads and the like. Important, routine and resource consuming.
Pirate Control
Task Rank: 10
Task Difficulty: Light (5%)
Investment: 5%
Send out a handful of people on each ship to help defeat pirates. Increases security and gets select people training.

Inactive Tasks
Recruit Settlers
Task Rank: 10
Task Difficulty: Light (5%)
Have land and resources, people will follow. This recruits closest to home and spreads out as existing sources are tapped out.
Lizard Training
Task Rank: N/A
Task Difficulty: Custom (Any)
Can Shocker Lizards truly be tamed? You aren't sure, but you can try and devote resources to it and see how it goes.
Establish Trade Networks
Task Rank: 10
Task Difficulty: Critical (50%)
Establishing trade is difficult as an island nation full of wizards. Some sort of merchant marine or way to trade with land dwellers would help. Setting and accomplishing relevant tasks may lower the difficulty of this one.
Establish Diplomacy
Task Rank: 11
Task Difficulty: Moderate (10%)(Serious and 20% due to task rank.)
Time to make your diplomatic presence felt. It won't be easy for a new nation, but you can begin to lay the groundwork in earnest.
Improve Quality of Life
Task Rank: 10
Task Difficulty: Serious (20%)
Improved the people's life with magical items and help. Expensive work and resource intensive.
Find Gold
Task Rank: 10

I'm pegging your realm at 10 for now, Alyssa. This may change as I get a better feel for it and/or you grow.
What I need is a list of what you feel your current tasks are. I'll synthesize from those and others. Basically a heads up on where you feel your realm's resources are being used.
You don't have to invest or work on a task you suggest, so feel free to add any that are on the radar but not being pursued at the current time.
In no real order or detail:
1) Recruit new settlers for the up-coming new land.
2) Research into how to really hurt Shar.
3) Make allies/pull nations to my side on prime.
4) Resources.
5) Shocker Lizard domestication.
6) Trade networks.
7) Quality of life magic for citizens/towns.
8) Magical Item production.
9) Demi-plane.
10) Jeram's research into the link/bond.

Okay Iddy, go ahead and spend points and set up. Don't forget the three permanent tasks, either.
Before that, new task proposal(s):
Transportation networks, Gates.
Transportation networks, Ships.
Infrastructure, Trade/Highway system.
So since it's a Island chain, I sorta figured there was already some sort of internal gate system going from each island to the next since the original write up was for each school of magic to have their own island for experiments/work.

Those are added. Look good?
Yep.
Well, I'm behind the power curve, so I need to put the rubber to the pavement and get something significant done.

Done. Everything look good?
With my remaining 10%...

Done. All look good now?
Yep.
Back to thread.
A category for inactive tasks (as in tasks available but not being pursued currently) is now below permanent tasks. A second category for finished tasks is below that.
Update 1
Madala reports that preliminary work on the gates is going well. No problems and nothing over budget, for once.
Delaize reports that ship building and establishing more merchant trading routes is going well. Results should be soon, as magic greatly aids ship construction.
Fabulous. Anything on infrastructure?
Not yet. For what it's worth both projects there seem to be going well, infrastructure needs more time. If something was going wrong it would be mentioned.
Cool, thanks.
Update 2
Janise reports that when digging ditches for infrastructure, loose gold was found. What shall be done with it?
Janise suggests either taking it and investing it back into the Guild, taking it for your personal use or gifting it. Not all of it has to be used on the same task, and the workers that found it are clamoring for share of their find.
Put it back into the guild.
Done and noted.
Janise reports heavy discontent amid the workers who found the gold, but nothing seems to be boiling over.
I totally didn't even see the part where they wanted a share. As a compromise, let's give them better food for a month. This can easily be accomplished with spells (Hero's Feast and what-not).
Janise reports this has decreased the level of discontent, though they still aren't happy.
Update 3
Yorel reports that a band of sea nixies have been found exploring the area in the wake of the horror incident. Shall anything be done about them?
Delaize reports that shipping is going well, but stories of pirates have begun to circulate.
Have Ianvasah and Emily try to contact the nixie's and offer to try to work out a safe harbor/home/trade type thing; they probably have the most experience with fey out of anyone, and having nature spirit types around will be a good start for Ianvasah.
As for the pirates, offer work/internship type things for adventure leaning students. Good way to earn some experience. Also talk to Jeram and see if he wants to offer the same to any of his people. Have diviners try and locate their base for dealing with.
To be clear here, you want to sponsor rookie adventurers to take care of the pirates and call it training?
Not a complete unit of rookies, and I meant more going with the ships as guards, not out hunting them. Like a couple experienced people with a rookie or two type thing.
New Task then:
Pirate Control
Task Rank: 10
Task Difficulty: Light (5%)
Send out a handful of people on each ship to help defeat pirates. Increases security and gets select people training.
Going to devote any resources to it?
Yeah. Take it from realm defense. It's basically the same thing.
Done.
If Emily and Ianvasah go deal with this, this will eat up some of their time and possibly involve you.
That's fine.
Roll and post 1d100.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d100 : 48, total 48[/blockquote]
The nixies are taking a wait and see attitude for now, so this will likely come up a little later.
Cool.
Update 4
Janise reports that the first round of roads are done, and it's now to secondary roads and infrastructure support.
Madala reports that in the process of constructing a gate, the workers discovered gold. As this is the second time gold has been found, it may be there's gold deposits on the island to be found. Also, what will you do with the gold found this time?
Split the gold 50/50 with the Order and workers. Set a future task for gold finding.
New Task Unlocked
Find Gold
Task Rank: 10
Task Difficulty: Moderate (10%)
Do you wish to assign anything to it right away?
Not at the moment. Is there anyway to know how close to finished a task is?
Not directly, but feel free to ask for a status report on one.
I'd like a report on the ships and status of Realm Defense.
Realm defense is steady and solid, invested in enough not to be trivial. Nothing is awry there.
The ships are mostly done - Delaize is seeing to to it and it's merely taking time to finish up now, but it looks good.
Okay, well, hopefully the ships will be done soon and that will open up some resources for other things.
So noted. To next update.
Okay Alyssa. Your realm is essentially starting over for now, so I want you to do a few things for me.
1. Get and paste here anyone from the first post any leader who came with you.
2. Give me an idea of roughly what you imagine your new realm's goals will be.
Realm Rank: 8
Realm's Total Resources Used: 0/100%
Delaize:
Mage: Slightly increases the success of tasks relating to magic.
Goals:
Fast deployment something. Gates or something. Gates or something.
Resources. Raw materials and things for trade and income generation.
A couple companies worth of soldiers. I want to act as a skirmish force, but I need enough people to reliably hold a position and to bring a significant enough force to an army vs army fight.
I need some level of specialists for each school of magic.
Bastian can't be a spy master and counter Intel without bodies to help.
Set up some sort of super secure comms system so I can covertly communicate with people and the Order.
I think I want to mix in some solid magical beast units, so stables and a stable master.
Okay, that's good set up and I'll use that when you get your new realm thing up in a day or two.
