Yeah! Loving all the aspects of it, and the original series got a bit boring, to be honest.

It's quite good, and has everything a SPAMKINGDOM should have.

It's okay, wouldn't mind seeing the original series updated again though.

I WANT MY FIREBLOOD EMPIRE BACK RIGHT NOW!!!1eleven

Kindness is nice, but we can't let one who is proclaimed king to stand.
If "young Ximon" is too young to decide for himself, then his handlers won't change their minds. If he is old enough, he must face the consequences.

[Rockeater]

A we want to show the nobles back home that although they have power now we still in control and rebellion is not an option.

[auzewasright]

C, it’s worth a shot.

We sent letters before, we need to show rebels that we do more than merely write.

Our sword will teach the upstart.

Although few voices murmur about negotiations, the majority of your officers clamor for a siege of Estanquanorta, and you happily follow that path!

Late Winter, 448 AEC

Scouts and raiding parties bring reports that the smaller settlements suffered from lack of grain and trade, and many have submitted the Court or your captains, while you and the Army of Kastoria besiege Estanquanorta.

The defenders, along with Ximon and his supporters, remain steadfast.

Spring, 449 AEC

The heavy rains of Spring has eroded much of enthusiasm and hope that outlying settlements had, and, if the reports are to be fully trusted, no keep but Estanquanorta remains opposed to your rule!

Having been at the siege for two months, many believed that the city would've fallen by now, alas.

One Spring evening, few younger officers enter your tent. "My liege!" One of them says out loud. "We besiege the city that's ought to be on verge of starvation and despair by now. Why not construct the towers, craft the ladders, and swarm upon the walls of Estanquanorta, bringing the rebellion to a swift end? Nobody but the stubborn, doomed fools inside the walls remain to deal with!"

You decide to...

A) Stick to the plan and continue the siege, the inhabitants will surely bring the heads of conspirators to you on a silver platter anytime soon!
B) Send bribes and offers of amnesty to those inside the city. Maybe this will bring out some unforeseen advantanges?
C) Rally an attack force, and order construction of siege equipment, and prepare for the assault upon the walls of Estanquanorta!

We've chosen the path of destroying the rebellion violently, let us commit to this path properly.
A
On second thought, there is no reason to risk lives doing this. Far better to wait them out instead.

[Kashyyk]

A - If they're on the verge of starvation, they should be surrendering any day now. Then we can deal with them without losing any more loyal soldiers.

[Naturegirl1999]

Alrighty then. they will starve to death

[ZBridges]

A

The simpler solution with the lowest potential casualties is best.  They will have a difficult time escaping while under siege.

[mightymushroom]

A
The thing about sieges is they take time. So much time.

[Superdorf]

Somebody explain to me tho why this taking a long time would be a good thing?

The purpose of a siege isn't generally to prepare for an assault of a castle, it's to starve the defenders out. The longer the siege, the weaker the inhabitants of the city become, until they either surrender or, in very rare cases, refuse to surrender but become so weak that the assaulting army is able to just walk all over them in an assault.

Re-reading the update, I think I'm actually going to change my choice. Maintaining the siege seems the smarter thing to do.

[VoidSlayer]

Rains during a siege could be a precursor to plague.  Lets just finish this first.
