@erez: The only road I feel necessary to add to the map would be the road to Portal. Did you wish to spread that 50 gold throughout many roads, or focus on a single road? Because the road to Horagrid is more than 200km, and if you are putting 50 into 100km - that 100km is paved. Therefore, if you are spreading the 50 too thin, the roads will remain dirt paths. I was under the impression from your orders that it was more important to improve upon the road to Horagrid, given the Barbarian threat. If you do wish to spread it out more, let me know and I will edit the map.
Also: the update did not come quickly - I start writing when the majority of orders are in and I work on it off and on and gradually stitch it together as the rest of the orders come in.
@Massive Attack: It is revealed, to the best of your ability at this time. I can say no more.
@andis-1: Has been corrected.
Anyone else, tell me if your stats are weird and I will re-check them when I have free time. As I said, I am fairly busy today and tomorrow. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks, but I just noticed another oddity in the stats 
I captured 2 towns in the update, yet my stats say I control only one. Could you add the other one there too?
edit: and one more thing. I said in my orders that my mana income should be crystallized, but the amount of crystallized mana is the same as last turn. It should be 62 or 63 crystals higher.

Update said, that I gained control of 1 (minotaur) town. I had 1 town last turn. I still have 1 town this turn. Or did I misunderstood, and I just gained extra income from that town?
Can I recruit minotaur special units from that town, or do I require cities to recruit special units?

Vruchten is correct. Northen, on the map you have only 1 town, and so your income is 105 per turn. It is correct.
Also, castles do not provide income in any way, though they can offer magical items or treasure. Such is unknown, though.

Stats:
I have 10 Mana Nodes, but 300 mana income... wut? 10*25 is 250? Does my bonus go in income or treasury?
I still have a warden that is able to move this turn, but it is gone.
How did my coffers get so big? Are my road improvement money not spent?
Sorry if this is annoying. But I am not sure if that was accident or purposful.

1. Your Citadel generates 50 mana.
2. Warden added. YOU have to tell me that. I have said numerous times you won't have your units unless you tell me what you have in your orders.
3. All of the money you asked to spend in your Orders was spent. The bonus is added to your coffers. Just as in last time, your Coffers is what you have to spend for the next orders.
- So no mistakes with you, Terrance. andis-1 seems to have been the most glaring error.
"Great update, Starlife." "Thanks!"

If you all haven't noticed:
While stories are not required, you might notice that players who do post stories or tidbits about their culture tend to have more specific, longer write-ups in the updates. This is because I have more to write about. Thus they have more to do. Thus they expand faster. That is how I do things. However, some players have insanely good orders that are detailed, but precise, and I know they are engaging in diplo privately even if not in the thread. This is also beneficial to a kingdom. Good ideas also get high praise.
But I'd like to see more stories in the future from some of you. Not for any reason other than I think you'd write good ones and I want to read them.

I'm in progress of writing culture but I also like making youtube slideshows (they are simple to make and don't require me to write something long). Do they count as story?
I'll also be unable to send orders before Sunday evening, and I still have to write 1 diplo, sorry for slowing you guys down.

Well I also totally understand that people are busy, so don't worry too much about it Northen Wolf. But I'm sure I speak for everyone that I'd like to see what you have to post about, just out of mere enjoyment of having a hostile Goblin kingdom in the west. Yes the slideshows are interesting and entertaining.
In fact, even if everyone got their orders in by Sunday, there is no way I can be done with an update that fast. These things take time.

Like everything else in Ethereal, it is all over the place. One Goblin realm is dramatically different from another. For a long time, Ethereal has been in a state of extreme feudalism. Sort of a dark ages. Some Goblins have a society that is extremely stereotypical: militaristic, focused only on the mountain, mining, tech, etc. Others are a lot different. For example, Regamon Monastery - which is basically a bunch of Goblin priests / pseudo-pacifists. The Goblin guilds you speak of: they are focused mostly on making money. Making money is their reason for living. No matter the task, they wish to make a buck. Survival is their focus. There are different Goblin guilds, some minor some major, but they are all (to our knowledge at this point) located near cities and city spaces. The guilds around you specifically are run by groups of merchants / technologists. Some are quite brilliant, but in terms of their motivation they are primitive.
