Bay 12 Games Forum

You order your guards to keep it calm while the Queen Tomyra is brought up to the throne room.

And thus she enters, surrounded by ten or so of her wariors. She wears black and yellow and white and red furs of some animals you probably never saw. She wears a blackened helmet with oxen horns, and a quilted armor over her breast, her long, shaggy black hair only enhancing her image of a warrior rather than a queen.

She is also a head taller and shoulder wider than you.

"So, Llewyn, King of Luathbas!" She says, placing her hands on her waist. "You said to come for the tribute, so here I am. Bring me your valuables, or suffer my wrath!"

A) Bring her the valuables from Treasury.
B) Refuse to bow to her demands.
C) Attempt to negotiate... something.

You have a point this could become a hassle.
That's why if I ever see that it become's too much of a hassle or more importantly, affects the quality of my posts then I will end the thread on SV forum and continue it on bay12.

Your line of thinking appeases us.

Continue v;

You tell the envoy to go back home as there will be no tribute. You hoped to kick him into the dungeon but your advisors said it would be unwise.


The advisor brings you the Scrolls of Kingdom Status.

Happiness: 6
Population: 6
Economy: 4
Army: 7

"Sire, I have to report that for few days now, Luathbas people dwelling in extreme west of our country either sighted or were accosted by occassional Khanate horseman. There were no deaths or instances of house raiding, however. The Marshal heard of this and asked me to query you about possible emergency mobilization for next six months."

A) Yeh, let's, another war's about to begin.
B) Nay, I'm sure we can solve this without war.

God damn we are lookin' classy. I hate to do this, but:

Remove toga, apply gambeson and chainmail on top of that. Repurpose toga into a cloak.

Hit: 123+5-12 = 116, autohit!
Damage: 15-2 = 13dmg

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay isometric superpixel!

_{Boooo where's muh 2D pixel backgrounds ;<;}

You order part of the Army to strengthen Augas and camp around the valley leading into northern Parsia just in case.


An envoy from Tomyra, Queen of Khanate, have arrived at your court.

"Greetings, King of Luathbas, land of prosperity and gold! She Who Makes The Earth Tremble, Queen Tomyra, knows well how much your people prefer peace over war and therefore is willing to keep her eyes away from the borders of your kingdom in exchange for a large gift of money and valuables. Consider this well, eastern king!"

A) Tribute is a sign of weakness... but tribute is better than getting stomped by horsemen hordes - the Queen shall have her valuables.
B) Throw him into the dungeon and send a letter to Queen Tomyra in which you invite her to take Luathbas gold by herself, if she dares.

You agree to the counter-offer and after few days, Parsians and Luathbasians depart toward their respective capitals.

Congratulations! Llewyn completed yet another military campaign!

The campaign glory finally reached you as well. Despite only moderate gains, people begin to call you 'The Conqueror' anyways.


After your return, you console your wife briefly and then hear reports of Kiwis' ultimate demise; the Khanate, after securing a deal with the Damdamian Republic, squashed all opposition in the west, and now only Duchy of Koi remains of the original Kiwi state - a puppet in hands of Khanate anyways.

And by the way, the Khanate now has a new leader - Tomyra, daughter of Adila, have successfully slain her father in a duel of honour and inherited the throne.


Governor of Augas brings news both good and bad - good are that Parsians kept their promise and a tribute of gold and silver arrived in the province.

Bad is that Parsians are suffering a civil war; one of the Princes that didn't partake in the previous civil war, managed to rouse some Parsian armies and is currently occupying northwestern parts of Parsia, including some prosperous farming settlements and the gold mines of Parsia.

"Clearly the Parsian savages are trying to launch a surprise attack." Says one commander.

"Is it our problem, actually? It's civil war." Says another.

"It could be if the rebel prince decides to pick on Augas - he could march through the valley, of example..." You decide to...

A) Send part of Army to camp in Augas and at the entrance into Parsian northern valley, as precaution.
B) Do nothing but only watch how this situation develops for now.
C) Embark on another campaign to conquer more of Parsia in this chaos!
