I think @Nodge has a point here, if someone in OF2 didn't know the quests in advance (i.e. if they don't have a province scouted when reaching quest #5), they'd need 2 x 3d 16hr = 7.5 days only for scouting!! And event is just about 7 days...
Only good thing about it is that this Manor is a crap reward in OF heh
But @Nodge was talking about players who had their scout half way towards the next Province. And just to clear things up, the questline lasts about 8 days.
And let´s be honest. OF2 is so new on live servers, that most players likely would have their scout under way. We´re all in search of that expansion which is out there somewhere, right?
And an OF2 player should be experienced enough to obtain the list of quests somehow, and finally if one should get caught by surprise, use diamonds on one of the trips. You should get covered or somewhat covered by one of the quest prizes.
And since the Manor got on the priority list, I actually don´t find it that crappy. For one like me, who hasn´t got any population issues, I´d be happy to loose 500, but gaining 2 fp´s by replacing a Mobile House with the Manor.
