5/3/2011: The Great Southern Trade Route

[Jay Luo]

Gaijin curiosities are trickling into the Empire via merchant caravans and river barges, as the Mantis Clan further establishes the great southern trade route through the provinces of the Crab, Scorpion, Hare and Unicorn.



(OOC note - Alison and I are going to be on vacation starting 5/4 and returning on 5/14. I think we'll have internet access but will be away from any development tools, so we won't be able to post game updates for a bit. Try not to break anything while we're away. )

[Kitsu Hiraku]

Z-zogging beatufil! That new location near shiro ide... awesome.

Edit: And the descriptions are just great "Whatever a camel is"

[Akodo Tomatsu]

Try not to break anything Jay? Seems like a challenge to me

[Agasha Shodai]

And there's fun in Shiro Usagi, too! ;D

[Soshi Kiso]

Woot, trade route sprouting fast.

[Kakita Shinji]

Have fun Jay&Allison!

EDIT: Oh man... that's some koku- and item- heavy actions. I hope gaijin goods have some use around?

[Shiba Kazuma]

Jay you mean to tell me you don't trust us to not break anything *leans on something that snaps* hehehe *hides behind back*

don't worry everything will be fine have fun on vacation

[Ojii]

Happy vacations. Zai Jian!

[Kitsu Hiraku]

@shinji: You could try the city of lightning. Didn't find an another location that you could spend them in.

[Kakita Shinji]

Thanks! And finally something new for duelists

[Kitsuki Yuushahime]

Have a lovely vacation!

Thanks for the update! Hime loves gaijin curiosities! I think Senshi will also be pleased

[Agasha Shodai]

@shinji, What's new for the duelists?

[Kakita Shinji]

River of gold, there are two actions that cost "pirate sighting", unfortunately it seems Sail on the River of Gold action does not drop them (60% and nothing). So we'll have to spend looooong time in Earthquake Fish Bay to master those.

[Enishi]

You can in fact get a glimpse of pirate ships on the River of Gold, I can attest to that. Though I do not doubt your ability to fight and defeat invisible pirates, Kakita-sama!

[Jay Luo]

Based on feedback, I (slightly) increased the drop rate for the pirate sightings in both Earthquake Fish Bay and the River of Gold. The Scorpion-specific patrol action has a slightly better chance to catch pirates also (intended as a minor bonus reward for their efforts in 'winning' the trade route).
