But why should other people choose to pay you? Any lord could knight his followers so why pay somebody else to do it when you could spend the money on your own army?
You may wanna let me know how many men you'll have then and how your going to support them.
You've gotta find a way to feed and arm them all, I can help with weapons but im going to need to import some food myself for the early game so i cant feed your men as well as mine so you either need to make your own deal and find a way to make money or give me some money and ill import food for you along with my own.

That's how feudalism works. If the Guild is supported by the Crown and a fief wants the Crown's protection, they would pay up. Aside from the knights not being part of the royalty with land and direct superiors in the government and stuff, that's how real-world feudalism worked.

Kedly: What do you mean by "slavers?"



Oh, and to clarify: The children in your realm are mostly too young to do much work. Maybe a third to half would be old enough to do basic work, like errands or apprenticeship, and most younger children would help their parents a little, but by the time they can be trusted to and are able to do hard work they are no longer, by this definition.
Also, this being the medieval era, most women will be housekeepers. You can have women work, but if less than, say, half of households have someone with enough time to take care of chores you're risking revolts, so the men will probably be most of the workers. I would have mentioned a caveat like this before, but I hadn't realised it until now. If you can't keep house, you won't be happy...
I have a feeling revolts will be a big thing at first...

Four spots! Miners and farmers needed!

I think that's current/Max.

Names, mostly. We're just obsessed with detail.

Both!
Well, at least for now. We'll obviously need some disposable or ideally portable shelter, and some skill in living off the land would be nice so we might as well practice while we have access to the ship's supplies.

HR-4, HR-5, and HR-7 all work. They are given to Shaper, Psyghost, and Mirror, respectively.

You set up a chicken farm, [4] cloning another one before [6] turning the cutebolds into master thieves. You then need to stop them from stealing all of your stuff for themselves, [6] which kinda succeeds, but as the die hates you you're right back where you started.
The three minions take the three functioning heat rays and head out. You use the big heat ray to [4] set a random house or three on fire. Goody.

Shaper returns, carrying a single small bag containing $700 in fives, tens, and twenties. She says that getting to the bank and getting the money went great, but Mirror got caught and Psyghost phased into the police car. Oh, my...

Well, Jim has his parts and is working on a robot. He wants some help tomorrow, with programming it--he's a hardware guy.

Well, sadly, it's bedtime.

END OF DAY 13 OF VILLAINY

You need to figure out how to get Mirror and Psyghost back before they admit who told them to rob the bank, and ideally get the money and heat rays from the evidence locker. What do you do?
