UM, it's still not saving my orders. 'll go from 4 orders used to 1 and then to 0.

Feel free to log in under my account and try it yourself.

I saved 7 sample orders for you after moving around the menu tabs with the tentative orders in memory. Then saved them to the server and tried it again. Didn't lose any of the temporary or permanently saved orders after the last update.

Make sure you hit your browser's refresh button on EVERY menu tab page (Home, Political, Covert, Divine, Military, Magic, Kingdom, Other, Contact Us). Just refreshing the Home page only updates that particular page and not the others.

Does Bananas tool work for Mac?

[Frost Lord]

I was able to successfully save all of my orders.  Looks like whatever you did (UM), worked for me.


It did seem that I needed more resources open on my desktop than before.

Resources needed for the previous way of doing my turn:
1. Turn results (html)
2. Excel worksheet to build my orders (Excel)
3. Map (PowerPoint)
4. Orders Rulebook (PDF)

Resources now:
1. Turn results (html)
2. Setup (html) - for key info that used to be saved into my Excel workbook
3. Bananas Map (Ruby) - Replaced PowerPoint
4. Bananas Group Movement Plotter - used in conjunction with the setup & a calculator to process group movement - Excel used to handle this.
5. Bananas Emissary Tool - used to aid in emissary movement (Agent & HP will have to be manual)  - PowerPoint used to handle this (w/movement slider template)
6. Order checker (url) - replaced portions of the Excel & so far, the rulebook
7. Notepad (.txt) - for notes that used to be saved into my Excel workbook
8. Calculator - for the calculations that used to be handled by my Excel

@Acererak
The binary you download from the order checker page is windows-only. HOWEVER, that Ruby scripts that it was built from are mostly platform independent. I believe that Ruby either comes pre-installed or at least can be installed on a Mac. With Ruby installed, you should be able to run them directly.

Once you have Ruby installed, download the zip file from https://bintray.com/artifact/download/sc...-2.0.0.zip

Unzip it, cd into the dir, and run "ruby amap.rbw" (or maybe "rubyw amap.rbw")
I have no mac and so do not know if it really works.

(Sacred Order) Ok, just able to get to my turn now. Very excited. I did notice that it tells me I get a location for an artifact in Arcania but did not actually give me the location. also, I seem to have a temple, but not sure what to do with it. Also, where is the place that tells me how to use Order 11?

Ok, I will go work with the parser and the order input sheet now.

Rick posted the order 11 options here: http://kingdomsofarcania.net/forum/showt...?tid=10162

The 3rd Cycl rule adendum is here: http://kingdomsofarcania.net/forum/showt...7#pid32497

The Temple is used to attract a Noble Maiden who can test to become an HP. 

The wording on the "location of the artifact" needs to be edited. It tells you the region and shortname, not the location.

Thanks, LD.

A little weird, so I get the number of the artifact but cannot get a priestess until turn 4. I think the Ranger and Dwarf, for instance, are told the locations of theirs.
Just have to hope nobody finds it, or that I find it first, in which case the number was not that helpful.

[Lord Diamond]

My Halflings just get the shortname as well. I think that is all you get now. I agee that it is not an especially awesome attribute. The actual location would be meaningful.

You can attract a Noble Maiden on turn 4 if you have a Temple. On turn 5 she can test to become a high priestess. IF she passes the test, she can divine the location of the artifact on turn 6.

Personally, I think this needs to be changed to simply not being able to divine until turn 4.

[Jumpingfist]

NO (nomad) also gets two short names. Likely they will be found before I would ever get a chance to divine. One is a palantir maybe just give me that one instead of a lcation
