Re: Merge the axe and club skills As for Fighting skill separately, I don’t see how spear fighting experience relates fighting with a flail or that to fighting with a knife.

It almost feels like incorporating “character level” akin to D&D—>AD&D—>D&D yet again, fighter that somehow swinging a sword get better at attacking with spears and bows because they defeated x amount of enemies. Which I recall* is not where the Elks want their game to go.

As per “freeing up a slot” for other skill; I’m sure the Elks can add more skills as needed. Textile craft was added in 3.70. Survival was removed sometime ago. Ritual was removed before Survival.

*from years ago, not sure if it was some interview for a radio on one of the anniversaries or ‘just’ a gaming magazine interview.

Re: Village Restocking Like Privateer wrote: yes overtime, domestic animals sadly do not repopulate/re-stock.

Some villages that aren’t “rich” I.e. not Driik or Reemi, actually get ludicrously rich goods after some ingame months from initial visit. Sartola is relatively wealthy on initial visit, Koivula tends to be ‘poor’. Yet after few months or season or two, you can find iron mail armor pieces and other, somewhat unexpected “wealthy” items in them.

I’ve not frequented Kiesse or Kaumo much. Most my plays seem to be south of Kuikka or between Koivula and Reemi. Driik gets sort of annual spring run for salt and any needed masterworks.

Sacrilege! My Reemi sword&bow character was working on getting some trade goods for salt and essentials. Found red wearing traders' camp.
They wanted my dog and I got some weapons and worn clothes and armor.
Amongst the piles of clothing, one item brought fury to Lauri's mind.

It's war, the red traders must die.

Re: How to get early game food supply since fishing nerf
So does spoiled meat/fish work as a bait, or does it have to be fresh?
Uncooked / non-cured spoiled meat, fish, and fat all work as bait. Spoiled roasted/boiled/cured meat, fish or fat won’t work as bait.

i haven't branched away from uncooked meat and fish in my spreadsheet yet but I plan to. However this information from news.txt makes me think the cooked/cured meat should work as bait:

- fixed: dried cuts as fishing baits got used up in one single fishing attempt

         Now a single dried cut lasts for a couple of fishing attempts.

Though I don't know how much the fish will like it compared to other baits.

I also want to test out bread.

Bread works for small fish. Bait comment above was for trapping
Cooked/cured/raw/spoiled/stale/fresh can all be used as fishing bait.

Re: Sacrilege? 2nd camp was in an island, with a bay coming to the camp.
Njerpez were falling like barley in thunderstorm.
Lauri did get hit twice; once in chest with a broad head and another shot in hip.
Then it was time to recover kota covers and send the invaders onwards their last journey.

Re: Sacrilege? While Lauri was healing from clearing the 2nd camp, he managed to setup a stash in to a cave of goods, smoked elk and firewood. Once the last wound was healed, Lauri strapped on his skis and headed to an area where his neighbors had seen more invaders.

"Just scouting them fast, not going to wear heavy armor to slow me down"

Well, one Njerpez must've spotted Lauri's dog, Hellu, and charged forwards, skiing back, sending calculated shots at the invaders, Lauri slowed and made the invaders flee. But others were charging.
Finally Lauri decided the make them really pay for the taking of the lichen overcoat.

Re: What's Going On In Your Unreal World? Obligatory healing after clearing camp #3.
It's always nice to see their last archer shoot their 2nd last warrior in the back to have him wheel around and beat each other up.

1st camp was 6, 2nd camp was 7 warriors. 3rd had 9.
As always, hauled the corpses to a pyre. Felling trees will be slower for a while, took a scimitar on the right shoulder.

Game complains to stop excessive hoarding, but I need to bring clothes to my neighbors' kids. They're running in the snow in trousers and nothing else.

Re: Question: A Mod for Making Cord Since the ancient past, the game now has multitude of tying equipment options.
Withes from saplings.
Yarn from hemp, nettle, flax
Cordage from cloth, leather
Rope from leather, birchbark

And if absolutely needed still, one could always add a recipe for their liking.

Pushing bed time You know how some days you’re feeling exhausted or ready to drop by late afternoon. But then, you don’t want to wake up around small hours either. So you decide to split a trunk in to boards. With handaxe, while checking out the shorty trap fence.

To be woken up by “noises” aka Njerpez shooting arrows at your dog. Fark. Unleash doggo, wield fine longbow and send him some fine broad heads.
Damn. He knocked the dog unconscious with his woodsman’s axe. Send more arrows.
He killed the dog. FaaAARK. BUT GOT him unconscious too. Run over, swing broadsword at his skull. Dead a-hole.

Crud. Skin and butcher the dog. Loot Njerps’ goods. Sure, need to go find another dog. Tan hide in the morning, set the cuts to dry and leave some for trapping and fishing bait. Not too bad. Sucks to lose a pup though. Go to sleep.

Odd noises. Poop. Go the check the trap fence mere 36’ (12m or 6 tiles). Unconscious Njerp in the trap pit. Huh. Well, guess it pays to have trap pits between trees, without fences in the middle. Swing the sword. Near decapitation. Start to reset trap. Another Njerp pops in the view. Exchange few blows, slash his arm; not so easy for him to swing his bastard sword. Then get his hip twice. And slash his face. He passes out. Swing at his neck and cut deep to kill him too.

Step back to hide close by a spruce. Ready the bow and fine broadhead. Wait for several moments.

Seems like there isn’t a 4th invader.

Go back to sleep in the shelter.

Summary: lost a dog trying to push bedtime to late evening—night. Got interrupted by wandering Njerps. Went to sleep, to wake up to another Njerp falling into a trap pit. Killed 3rd when resetting the trap.  Glad that there are roving Njerps and not just camps in 3.71

Rattle of death Got to say, learnt something new today. There's rattle of death, although there's no rattlesnakes in the North.

And the hare got away.

Also, Rattle of Death would be amazing name for a (death/black) metal band.
