although I’m not certain that the Coal Hopper, as worded, does anything; I don’t see how “the owner of that Workshop may have more than 200 Coal” prevents “If a Commoner would ever have more than 200 Coal, their Coal is instead set to 200” triggering.

Ah, I reworded that to an explicit “Cap” keyword while you were still reading it (but before you posted your comment). So you might want to reread to make sure it still makes sense.

RoV Seems good. (Also, having posts edited while you read them is really confusing…)

I like the idea, but the cap of 200 seems a bit stiff, given that many plays will be bumping against that this week already. (I WANT to build something, but can’t until I have the right resources, for example…)

[Josh] Don’t overlook the fact that you could trade your stockpiled coal with some of the lazier (or more inventive) commoners, in order to get the resources you need.

Per Kevan =)

@Josh: You could build a Coal Hopper this week or next, and avoid the cap that way.

This makes the “negative Power Requirement” parts less usefull, as the Income would not be that important then… I’m not sure, whether I like this point.

Well, but on the other hand this encourages each player to do something with their Ressources. That’s nice and so
