You order that mercenaries are to be found and hired.

"What do you mean by that!?"

"What I have just said, my liege." The advisor bows again. "The mercenaries across the region heard of how many of their numbers die under the banner of your dynasty, despite the offers of high payments... the hired swords would prefer to survive long enough to collect said payments. Several mercenary organizations and bands refused to even negotiate with envoys from your palace."

A) "Then draft me some peasants!"
B) "Bah! Inform the Governor he is on his own."

You dismiss the marshal and ask the advisor to prepare some plans to introduce this... mandatory state-sponsored drafted army style.


Dire news from Augas! Some faction of the Parsians have invaded the province!

The assault was a complete surprise and thus few border garrisons were overran and captured. The Governor calls for reinforcements!

A) "Draft peasants and send them off!"
B) "Find some mercenaries and get them to Augas!"
C) "We can't help this time, but we will pray for you, Governor."

"I'm listening."

"Well sire, they have been in Damdamian lands few times and they had an opportunity to talk with the local aristocrats and army officers alike. Pieceing together the information about the Damdamian Army organization, it seems that, rather than knights providing themselves with own armor, and the peasants being drafted, it is the Kingdom that provides equal amount of equipment for every man. They also seem to include mandatory draft of young men between ages 18 and 35 for at least four-year tour of duty... I haven't spoken with the Master of Treasury or the trade advisor yet so I'm not sure how much drain on our resources such an army-"

*THUD!*

The Marshal smashes through the door and poses dramatically, his cape fluttering behind him in equally dramatically way.

"SIRE! Those are BARBARIC CUSTOMS he is speaking of! It is the KNIGHTS who lead the armies, and peasants who fight and die! How can you even CONSIDER becoming like our ENEMIES!?!"

A) Thank the advisor, calm the marshal, and stick to the traditional Luathbas military organization plans.
B) Dismiss the marshal and ask the advisor to consult with other officials and come up with theoretical list of projected expenses.

He can once we get to subcategory bonuses from lvl10, and Sirus choices Pier for his lances.

//I assumed Gig wanted Ayzebel to move&lockpick ;v

Ayzebel heard a quiet hum as she stepped over the mosaic, but nothing happened. She then opened the chest.

"Lord Gades! You too have betrayed my father!?" The spear-wielding skeleton looked at the blue-haired prince for a while.

"Enough of your excuses! Surrender, or be destroyed!" The skeleton stared and its jaw opened slightly.

The harvest was pretty bad; with no Hurthlings to use their agricultural hypercompetence, famine will visit Luathbas this winter... unless, the advisor points out, the Crown spends money on acquisition and storage of emergency foodstuffs.

A) No foodstuffs this year, we will be fasting to keep economy alright.
B) We're not earning money to not spend it - buy foodstuffs from abroads.
