I have returned! And would just like to say I am enjoying this so far, just got to the part where the Advisor makes the boy old with the ray and I'm pretty sure I know the reference.

Criken vids best vids.

You decide to talk Deathan down, so you visit his quarters.

5*

You speak with him about the noblemen party and he blushes, admitting that he wasn't really paying attention to what they were saying and once they pledged support, he was too embarassed (and too drunk) to do anything.

As he speaks, you detect a certain unpleasant smell. It comes from... Deathan?

A) This is the stench of fear, for he fears what can I do. A proper reaction, to be honest.
B) This is the odour of unwashed male. Gotta berate him for being a slob, he won't find a spouse like that!
C) This is the smell of spilled alcohol. Since when he has his own stash of Springwine?

You pray to the Pantheon gods the hardest you ever did. You beg the god of Healing, the god of Children, god of Death, and several others.

Alas, the next morning, the Advisor has to pry the cold hand of Rinilda from the grip of your fingers. Neither the court medics nor the prayers saved your daughter's life. She is pale, she is asleep, and she looks very, very peaceful now.


You let out a sigh when the Advisor piles the Scrolls of Kingdom Status on your desk. You unravel the vellum and begin reading on the numbers.

5to6, 1to5(1to5)

Happiness: 8
Population: 6
Economy: 8
Army: 10!
Imp.Authority: +2

"My Empress! Methiant is at its greatest peaks since, well, quite a while! Your subjects are happy, the Treasury is filled with wealth, and the massive Imperial Army is conducting drills every day to drive their combat preparedness beyond any standard. The officers claim that it would be a waste of opportunity if we wouldn't test our steel and Fireblood against someone - any pretext would work with them, they say!"

A) No war, we're champions of peace.
B) Time to kick the Lametanians down a notch.
C) About time Parsians are brought down to their knees.
D) Let's fight the Eldricans and put Graine in charge of Koi afterwards!
E) Damedian preachers are using Rucus as a gate - time to shut it close!
F) -

"Meanwhile, the peoples of Methiant prepared some monetary donations for the state, lady Empress."

A) "Let them have it."
B) -
C) "I will build myself a statue with that coin!"

"And the Treasurer believes that we ought to spend some of the accumulated money on something, lest the metal coins accrue all sort of junk on them!"

A) Sponsor creation of an bronze-cast statue of yourself!
B) Send a lavish gift to one of neighbouring countries.
C) Time to ask the dwarves to commission us a powerful artifact of sorts!
D) -
E) Seek the services of a traveling and powerful Sorceress.
F) Expand the budget of the Army, so it can maintain even greater numbers.

"Any Edicts this year, Lady Empress?"

A) "Per usual."
B) "Sure thing!"

The Advisor then rolls open the map of Methiant and local region for you, but there doesn't seem to be any actual changes made to it this year.

You happily announce that you will welcome a temple of Damed, if only they build one themselves; for this, you order the city administrator to write them up a building permit. Funds they will have none.

After short bout of whispers between themselves, the priests of Damed thank you for your generosity and leave with the document in haste.


Silver, gold and gemstones arrive in the Treasury; glasswares venture south. Few days later...

You're sitting by Rinilda's bed. Her eyes are closed, her breath irregular and her face is red with whatever affliction that has beset her body. She is struggling for her life, with help of the court medics, but it is clear that the siituation is severe and she might not survive next day.

A) Find me the best medic in the city of Methe!
B) I shall pray to Pantheon for her life!

How is the religious situation in the Empire doing lately anyway? Like how is Pantheonism doing? Alldivines? The minor cults that used to be protected?.... Evil Damed worship?

I'm going to address that soon in game tho 'v.

4. During each Turn, you can 'grab' a named Province. You can also 'defend' a Province you own.
5. Amount of actions you can do per Turn ('grabs' and 'defends' total) is equal to Supply Areas you own + 1 (example: you own 2 Supply Areas = you get 3 actions/orders to do). Supply Areas are Provinces with black dot by their name.
