       Phase Three
       By: Henly Hill Date: December 17, 2013, 2:32 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       So does anyone have any personal goals for the phase. Or any
       goals they would like the alliance to consider?

       I'd just like to see us do even better than last time.  We did
       very well, considering our size!
       Also, since Nod said they are going to do "brackets" this time,
       I'd like to see us win our bracket, whatever that turns out to
       be.

       what kind of camps are we going to build. I'd like to start
       stockpiling resources

       At least one spy camp and a barter camp. Other than that I do
       not know any specifics.

       So my goal is to finish closer to rank 1 in a region

       Personally, I want to finish Lannister nd get going on
       Baratheon. Asap.
       For AvA, there is a lot I'd love to see us do. We may be able to
       grab a backet prize. We should wait to see what all the prizes
       are. There are some awards based on what an alliance does per
       active player rather then totaling up whatever is spotlighted.
       Ironbank is an example. We could get something like that. The
       prizes for that last phase were better then those for placing in
       region.
       Camps - Fight, Swindle and Steal offwer the best VP potential.
       All camps provide boosts in all the talents and more so in the
       specialties. No matter what actions re taken, boosts will be
       there. We don't have do the actions that correlate to what the
       camps are. I say this because from what I understand we wish to
       have a reputation as an honorable, benevolent alliance.
       To raise camps (1 Battle, 1 Trade and 1 Intrigue) to level 4 can
       be done in 3 H 40M (optimal) and would require a total 363K
       silver and the following resources:
       60 Cloth      30 Grain    30 Smallfolk  60 Wood    90 Fur    60
       Horse    135 Stone    120 Ore    105 Fish   7 Dagger    7
       Doublet    7 Leather Bound Books
       7 Silver Chains   7 Milk of the Poppy    7 Linen Clothing    21
       Red Gems
       Not much more to get to level 5 but war tokens are required for
       camps over level 4.

       As far as I know, we will have camps for Barter, Aid, Spy,
       probably Swindle, and possibly another hostile action. That's
       what I've gathered from what Freya has said at various times,
       although I might have misunderstood something. I think the
       Swindle is because we have the best chance at filling up the
       Trade AC, since we already have all the Barter and Bribe spoils.
       Nod seemed to say that the camp materials for upgrades may be
       changing because they previously relied too heavily on crafting
       in the Market. In the meantime, I am still crafting based on the
       previous requirements; hopefully many of them will stay the
       same.  If they change Silver Chains to something else, I would
       be happy!

       Yeah the camp resources have changed, but those are pretty
       minor.
       Some enlightenment by Lady Freya would be cool.

       Okay, now that we have information on the changes for Ghost
       phase, I think we can start solidify plans.  I think that the
       changes in VP earned by camps means we may not want to go
       forward with mutual combat with allies, as our camp status will
       play an important role.  It also looks like having swords
       garrisoned may increase vp, so we will need to consider that as
       part of the strategy.
       I don't want to pick the region until they post the rewards
       schedule for next phase.  I think we have a real chance at
       taking one of the region specific prizes, I'd like to pick the
       region based on what type of spoils we are going after, which
       leads to what kind of camps we want, and how high we will
       upgrade.
       I would like to suggest the following:
       One aid camp.  With camp repair being an important element, we
       will need help from our allies if we are attacked, and returning
       aid is always expected.  I also should have 40 aid spoils after
       I convert my leftovers, which means we can reach level 6 fairly
       quickly.
       One swindle camp.  I'm picking this solely because of the Deal
       of a Lifetime challenge.  There's risk in this choice, because
       if you fail in swindle our camp is damaged.  If the challenge is
       not a priority for anyone, we can fill it as we go and not worry
       about building a camp.  If we don't do a swindle camp, then I
       would suggest barter, as it has been a very successful strategy
       to use barters to pay for camp upgrades, and while I don't have
       enough leftover spoils to finish level 6, it's pretty close.
       One intrigue camp, and spy is what I'm leaning towards.  I think
       we will be doing a lot - or our spymaster Henly will on our
       behalf.  If not intrigue/spy, then the third camp should be what
       kind of hostile actions we want to wage against those we target
       as enemies.
       I think we will want to focus on one region, as camp upgrades
       will be crucial.  We made it in the top 20 in our chosen region
       last round, I see no reason for us not to reach top 10 this
       phase!
       I will add only this.  AvA is voluntary.  I don't want anyone to
       burn themselves out churning out supplies and doing AvA
       missions.  Primary goal will always be having fun in the game!

       That sounds good, Freya.  Personally, I would prefer Barter to
       Swindle. I am weakest in Swindle, and I only have 2 SSs, who are
       both rather weak. My Merchants are a bit stronger, and I have
       five of them.
       I have been hiring some more SSs for garrisoning, although I
       don't have any experience or knowledge of how to do it most
       effectively. So far, I'm training 1 each in Fight, Harrass,
       Sabotage, Swindle, and Steal. How does that sound? They're all
       new-hires, so low-level and their gear isn't top-notch, but I'm
       training them up best I can.
