"What does your Duke offer?"

"He wants to bring our peoples together, and what brings people together than trade, crafts and commerce? The Duke wishes to see our craftsdwarves and merchants living and working along your human subjects, King Yoe! We would establish workshops and give your peoples the secrets of our craftsmanship, and how to forge the sharp and precious steel from your trifle wrought iron. We would teach your jewellers how to craft sublime trinkets and help your miners and gardeners learn the secret skills of earth."

"That sounds just too good." The Advisor chimes in. "What's the price for it?"

"The Duke would like to see a yearl tribute to fill the coffers of Zasitost. He would also want to hire your soldiers to help us guard the routes between Gubta and Zasitost, and between Zasitost and Ankurvat. Our once amicable friends and trading partners have been getting zesty lately, and so we need a new close friend." You decide to...

A) Accept this whole deal as it is.
B) Try to negotiate the deal.
C) Politely refuse the deal.

Nope, none.

The dual kingdom is yours :V

About 24 hours left for Pre-1940 phase.

Please remember that all Exchange/Alliance/Trade Treaties you come up with must be announced in Strategy Thread to be processed and included for Turn 1!

You reply that you will send for dwarves to prospect for new silver deposits.

Then you order the guards to bring this Felonsine trader in.

The man is cloaked just like his guard is, and they pull away their hoods before stepping up to your table.

"Greetings, and thanks for agreeing to my request in the summer, King Yoe."

"What request?"

"Uh... the request for assistance?"

Heads

"Ah. You must be Prince Yovak." Prince Yovak nods as you quietly praise yourself for having intact memory.

"I'm willing to pay you tribute for five years after victory in the civil war, King Yoe, and I'm willing to have our powdermasters share the formula of our Fireblood. I know that your men are attempting to find the exact proportions, but it will take ages."

A) "Money and Fireblood formula is more than enough. You will have my supplies and my soldiers!"
B) "This offer is an insult! Leave now and let's not speak of this again!"
C) "This is not enough. I want more!"

You decide to read the letter first.

In the letter, the manager of silver mines informs you that despite the prospectors being hired and doing their job, only tiny amounts of new silver has been located. If the mines are to continue looking for new deposits, it will take more money and more time. You compose a reply in which you...

A) Order the manager to close the mines.
B) Promise the manager more money.
C) Announce that you will hire dwarves this time.

Sure, it's yours and you can work with it whenever you wake up

You go on the mission with Volkov, Kukov, Babushkin and Asfaltovich! The rest remains at the Field HQ.


You arrive at the construction site with the Engineer Corps, with additional escort being the 166th Company along with their BAH-12 light tank.

Your boys mostly hang out with the engineers, hauling some timber and tools around, as you have pleasant chat about your hometown of Niziya with the 166th's 1st Lieutenant, Karinin, who turns out attended the same primary school as you did.


Night is coming, and the bridge is almost done. 166th has moved onto the other side of the river. You decide to...

A) Have your boys cross the river to assist them.
B) Have your boys keep guarding the engineers.

The game has officially begun!

Announce treaties (and later, post orders) here!
