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.

A

[melkor]

while il pick A wont we lose on income since we are now trading gems for fireblood instead of gold?

[Haspen]

You agree to this trade as well.

The discussions then slip into less important matters, and soon it shows that neither of you have anything else to discuss. Therefore, King Elran is given spacious quarters and personal servants for a week's stay.

A week later, King Elran III leaves your palace and begins journey back home, with a honor guard of a fifty most loyal and skilled of your castle guards. You later learn that he returned home without incident.

1099 AD, Winter

You learn of a great war spurring in the east; the Shahshan and the Kashite has allied against the oppressive and increasingly unstable Gubta Empire which ruled the southeastern plains for centuries. If rumours from Ceodwellian travelers are to be trusted, the two minor states already obtained some victories, mostly due to element of surprise.

As for Kingdom of Ceodwell itself, they wisely opted to not get involved in the conflict, as the current Gubta dynasty has a reputation of harshly punishing those who wrong them.

Silver and gemstones arrive at your palace, only to be sent east and west, respectively.

1099 AD, Midwinter

The blizzards and snowstorms around the region has been pretty harsh, cutting off villages and severely limiting travelers - except for Methiant, which was surely protected by the Rainbow Scepter, its green shine reported by the vault's guards once more.

1099 AD, End of the Year

This eventful year comes to a conclusion; and here comes the Advisor. Per usual, he is carrying Scrolls of Kingdom Status in his hands.

Happiness: 8
Population: 6
Economy: 8
Army: 4

"It's a pleasure to bring the Scrolls with such high marks on them, my liege! Our people are plenty and happy, and our Treasury filled with riches. Shall we spend them on something special, something that would reflect our grandiose wealth?"

A) "Naaaah." Leisurely nap on your mountain of riches.
B) Sponsor construction of grand monument commemorating our recent military conquests.
C) Renovate the various minor keeps and manors across our expanded country to appease both garrison commanders and local nobility.
D) Contact the dwarves with the intent of commissioning their runemasters for creation of an artifact.
E) Expand, beautify and fortify your palace to reflect your power and reputation as a leader.

[Harry Baldman]

E, it's gonna be the Forbidden City of Methiant soon!

[VoidSlayer]

C, a little infrastructure cant hurt.

[Criptfeind]

A lets wait for a more immediately useful boon to come about for our money... Not to mention our expenses sure have gone up lately, if we go though a dry patch income wise, we might be in trouble.

[VoidSlayer]

Also that scepter has paid for itself and then some, even with spending cash on those adventurers.

[Puppyguard]

A

[Harry Baldman]

Actually yeah, gonna change my vote to A. None of these are super impressive and it'd be cool to keep the money until we've got something real impressive to spend it on.

[helmacon]

A

Yea, none of these actually do that much.

[birdy51]

A

Money is the sweetest of pillows.

Edit: Whoops. Meant to say A.

[Lucus Casius]

C.  Not the greatest of benefits, but fortifying outlying domains should increase military readiness.

[omada]

A) Wait stuff happen or dwarves\a sorcerer come to us
B) Waste money?
C) Military bonus? Bonus with the nobles?
D) Shiny artifacts, expensive but usually usefull, sometimes too specific
E) Reinforce the capital in case we get screwed really hard in a war (but usually this means that we are already getting fucked one way or another)

I am between A and C (although YOE the first did something like this in 1084 and i haven't noticed the benefits)
err, can i suggest for a
F? hire dwarves do a wide search through methiantese lands and it's many mountains for special minerals?

We need to get more ways of income, we still haven't got buyers/renters of fireblood business and right now and we will just stockpile a bonus military. If this works, we will have so many influx of money to not even need to offer our fireblood, and we might begin to spend on the military and artifacts a lot.

[mightymushroom]

D
C probably wouldn't be bad either, I'm just thinking we haven't gotten any new artifact with this king.
And if Councilor Omada takes one of the dwarfs aside and mentions a reward for good prospecting tips, that's cool.
