I just want a general wearing a pink barrel like the one in the photo. Maybe for Easter?
As far as the loot tables, we'll just roll with the changes and find the next adventure with the best return on investment. Maybe it's not RB anymore, but I can tell you in IotP I don't care about the weapons in loot I just want the granite or iron/gold deposits anyway. And with a modified fast run, I'm doing that with <300R losses in 28 minutes so it comes out okay. In fact, that's just about ruined me for even unsanctioned blocking now (surprisingly sanctioned in colonies).
Most important thing is to make the colonies relevant back to the main island somehow, that I completely agree with... 42 granite a day isn't going to do it, I have tavern explorers that can do that for three clicks. And as much as I would like to expand Homerica to include both North and South Homerica, I've enjoyed 2.5 years of gaming here without ever having to beat another player... so colonies for the sake of colonies will be fun but not hold me long.
