Out of curiosity what would people considered a a high amount of CS?

Just general numbers for instance would +15 be a lot? Or do you guys think we have progressed to a period where +40 is a lot?

I mean it has been 7 days and nights with only 1 death.


Why do you ask? What's yours?


Just curious. I don't want numbers.

But at this stage in the game do you think that a head raider or a Nepeth General would have built up quite a large amount of retainers and secured armor and weapons to get themselves to what where?


Retainers are dependent on water, so thats a large limit. I'm not sure

IMO 15 sounds like A LOT. 40 sounds mind-bogglingly high. Like in the encyclopedia I think tapper put in either the duel or assassination rules an example of someone fighting a 6 CS Djinn and that that was apparently a lot. And that's a unique retainer. A general would maybe have 2 or 3 retainers with 2CS each or so. Items-wise everything we've seen on the market has been around +2 to +3 CS.

So if a general character was at their absolute peak I think the most you'd see would be something like:

personal CS: 2
helmet: +1
weapon: +2
shield: +1
armor: +2
mount: +2

3x retainers: +6

which is around 16 CS. But I don't see anyone actually having all that at this point either unless they are overflowing in cash AND have item-making buildings AND have retainer buildings AND have the leadership and water to support it all... which seems unlikely

Hey Ruse, do you still want Cotton?


Not as much as I once did but I could use a couple. The city watch does not approve of my nakedness. Maybe just enough for a loincloth?


How much are you willing to pay? I have some which I wanted to use at some point use, but that time is looking a looong way off, and the lure of dinari is strong.

Edit: Added 'use'


Sorry for my random departure - having technical problems over here (firefox won't connect but apparently IE does? so confused)

Anyways cotton is pretty basic so I don't really find it worth it to pay more than 500 per piece.



Cotton is not a basic good - if you're making it you have to use other goods. Therefore minimum 1000, especially if it's been requested.

1500 because it's you :p

This is why I don't want to see you lynched. Your nice to have around unlike that dick Galain.

Tempting, but if I had 4 cotton on me I'm sure I would have used it myself for something :p

Still, I'll keep you in mind in the future. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Alrighty, looks like someone went ahead and made this game 3 alliances vs 3 alliances. To that end we should probably find the Qadi first if at all possible.

Also, square of camels & khalif's palace both being sacrosanct makes it kind of difficult to lynch most people I should think.


I haven't played the previous ToD games, so can someone clarify for me whether Hassan is Qadi or CoV?

By the way, the tax collector shouldn't have been in that hadj and is probably around ishktar oasis, i.e. lynchable if we want to go that route.

Hassan is CoV in the House of Terror.

So your saying we should lynch Telas cause he is reading Dresden crack and being a dick about it and is probably the tax collector. Sir Posted Image that is brilliant case making.

Sounds like a pretty strong case if I do say so myself. Plus, I heard he called your mom a whore.
