No more minerals? Yeah we might need to use that new artifact for expansion. I wonder if Cyl would be interested in a joint campaign against that pirate people to his north? We know they have both salt and furs on that small stretch of land of his side of the mountains.
I think those pirates go further north where they get their furs and they have nice trade partnership with heliste and cydwyl, we need more is to find non mineral resources for us to exploit like ketton cloth or whatever
there is also the option of the dwarves lying, but as they were very trustfull in their contracts till now I don't think this new king will be very different
this gave me somehow desire to focus on a greater colonization effort to get closer to the mountains of our treaty before anyone else do that (anyone being helliste, my first idea when sleepy was to create a joint colonization effort with cydwyl and don't let helliste room to grow
although we will get large lands to protect and that will be shitty
