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.

Can't we just throw all of them into orcworld? No point for them to run away there.

Did we just not pass by the sign that says "DO NOT FEED THE ORCS"?

You decide to Issue the Codex of Training Regimen, upping up both training and recruitment standards. The officials and officers alike are ordered to prune the useless mooks from the Army.

1152 AD, Autumn

You receive report on the pruning - indeed, many thousand recruits and lowly soldiers have been expelled, and even few officers shared their fate as well.


Numerical value of the Army has been readjusted to 6

Good news fill the palace; Bjeda gave birth to another child! It's a girl this time, and the proud mother named her 'Eiri'.

1152 AD, Late Autumn

You hear that the Damdamian system has further collapsed this year; numerous states in the north are biting each other faces off, the underage Empress is unable to rein nearby states in, two republics in the far south declared themselves independent, and more margraves consider declaring themselves Kings of their own domains, like Kingdom of Rucus did.

1152 AD, Winter

Silver and gemstones arrive in your Treasury. The shipment of gold, the last one ever, arrives with a letter from King Shapur of Parsia, in which he praises your skilled leadership.

Finally, quality glassware sold for much profit this year! Peoples were also made happier for having access to such quality goods.

1152 AD, Midwinter

A giant has appeared during a blizzard in northern Donuth and begun to lay waste to nearby hamlets!

As your courtiers are shouting at each other about what to do, the anxiety causes you to order them to 'find a solution' while you retreat to your lovely chamber of study. Yes, this is where you-

*KZZZZTTTTT*

You're Houlandin, son of Cyl, heir to the Imperial Throne of Methiant!

Your father did it again. In middle of extremely important meeting to discuss a calamity, he fled the chamber, presumably to hide in his study.

But it is prime opportunity for you to assert your authority to the nobles before you even ascend! Therefore, you decide to...

A) Hire some lvl30+ adventurers to slay the uninvited guest.
B) Ask them to ignore the giant, because it will surely wander off on its own
C) Send the Army to pulverize the giant with Thundercats.
D) Proclaim that you will personally challenge and kill the giant in a duel!!

Also, for a moment I had thought poor Cyl had himself a heart attack. Somebody should probably talk to him about that...

You send the Army to deal with the giant. The council disperses...

...except few noblemen staring at you expectantly.

"What about you, friends?" The nobles look at each other, then back at you.

"Most blessed Prince..." The one seated nearest to you speaks. "Me and my colleagues have been... thinking... about Emperor Cyl's behavior and policies lately, so we were wondering if it is mayhaps time for him to vacate the throne. This is not treason talk, please have mercy, but he has been growing old, his authority is non-existant, and you're in prime age, have a heir yourself, and are well liked by the court, and the peoples of Methiant well know of your bravery and courage."

"And what if my father will not want to vacate the throne?" Your question makes the nobles visibly squirm.

"Then, we believe, there might be a need to... 'persuade' him, yes?"

A) "This is all treason talk! Guards!!"
B) "I will ask him to step down. You're right - it is my turn to rule!"
C) "I will pretend I haven't heard this. Have a nice day."
D) "He is too stubborn to abdicate. We will need to 'persuade' him, indeed."

Yeah, Houlandin's not that much better as a would-be Emperor, it'd be a complete shitshow if he actually survived to ascend to the throne. I'm thinking Eivan might be a better candidate, honestly. Or maybe one of Abis' children, did we actually exclude them from the succession?

[Taricus]

We actually did exclude them from the line of succession.

Dad is on the way out, and I think Houlandin knows it. But dad has also had his back a lot in the past few years ever since they butted heads at the war conference. So I don't think it's succession time yet, unless Cyl himself decides it's time to step down.

[Criptfeind]

B

Absolutely, lets ask. Then hopefully we get control of Cyl, and we can say yes!
