Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

"Thanks too" Are they demanding a mountain of wealth as a small price? I wish we had some more exact numbers here.

I'm betting at worst, 2 econ. Commonly it is 1 econ, but we [players] aren't that aware of the fluctuating tax + seasonal stuffs happening, so I'm guessing.

[Criptfeind]

That's what I would have thought too, but the way the adviser worded it is strange. We should be able to afford it either way, with or without the payment.

I'm trusting it to him being young and new--all our folks are young and new since we're a (seemingly rightful) rebellion King anyway. So I pictured the ol' "Advisor leans in and tells you this thing".

I mean, it's not like he said it out loud that our client can hear him speaking.

Now I wonder what had happened to the Hurthlings in the past...century of anarchy and stuff, post-Estwalf.
Haspen! May you answer that? :3 Or will we find out later?

That is stoopid question considering they're on the map V:


You agree to pay the dwarves. A contract is made, in two copies of course; one ends in your hands, the other the dwarves take with themselves.

"We should be done with our work within a month, King Yoe." They bow their bearded heads and leave.

1077 AD, Late Winter

The guards say that dwarves are back from their survey; the guards also say that there's an impatient diplomat hailing from Domain of Donuth, asking for a private audience.

A) I will talk to the dwarves first!
B) I will talk with the envoy first!

Dwarves have the patience of stones. Envoys do not.

[Criptfeind]

Dwarfs, since we probably won't actually have to make any irreversible decisions for them, we'll just be getting information. I mean, if they come back and say, yeah, there's shit there that looks like valuable gems but in fact lay a curse on the kingdom that mines them, leading to a slow wasting death for those that mess with them, mayyyybe we'll wanta sell them to this envoy.

[Aseaheru]

 B. by the logic stated the dwarves should be willing to wait a little bit, meanwhile we have uptight diploprick.

[Harry Baldman]

B

Hark, 'tis Dunkin of the House of Donuth! I'd recognize his disagreeable manner anywhere!

[Criptfeind]

How impatient can he be? He traveled though a whole other kingdom to get here, he can wait 5 minutes.

Just on the off chance B has something to do with the land, I'd rather be educated first.

You decide to speak with the dwarves first.

"Greetings, King of Yoe! We have tested the soil and rock of the south lands. They bear small amounts of sulphur, copper, coal and saltpetre. The soil is mildly fertile and naught a precious nor metal of crafts is to be found with great amounts there." You thank the dwarves and the Treasurer provides payment to the dwarves.

Your Advisor and Spymaster speak with you.

"My liege, saltpetre, sulphur and coal are few of the ingredients of the Fireblood." Says the Spymaster.

"It is however rare to find all three so close to each other. Clearly, the Felonsines and Ceodwells heard about this recently too, and are in such a great rush to have it."

"Felonsines have Blackhearts and thus is no surprise to see them try to procure ores of minerals they need for them, and I guess your father-in-law wishes to have his own Blackheart unit as well."

"Can we mine for these minerals and make our own Fireblood?"

"Aye, but we need to obtain the formula and the alchemists skilled in making it and someone to cast and operate the fearsome siege engines, first."

As for the southern land, you decide to...

A) Invest into mining of the ores and claim them all for yourself.
B) Sell the mining rights to your father-in-law, King of Ceodwell, and of course at a great price.
C) Sell the mining rights to your western neighbours, the Felonsines, hopefully at a great price.

As for the matter of Fireblood, Blackhearts and the related craft...

A) You will obtain them from the Felonsines, perhaps in a way of trade.
B) You will send spies and agents to buy, steal and procure the things in one way or another.
C) You won't be pursuing this new invention at the time.
