Yeah! Loving all the aspects of it, and the original series got a bit boring, to be honest.

It's quite good, and has everything a SPAMKINGDOM should have.

It's okay, wouldn't mind seeing the original series updated again though.

I WANT MY FIREBLOOD EMPIRE BACK RIGHT NOW!!!1eleven

Sorry about that one time.

You decide to meet with the merchants from Xane-Peon.

The fat, bearded merchants enter the throne room, wearing dark red and blue fabrics, with the emblems of the Black Ship emboidered on their shirts. They bow their collective heads in respect to you.

"Greetings, King Lycwl of Kastoria! We're on behalf of our master, King Anreu, to establish trade deals with the new regime of Kastoria. Even before Arrat's rule, the merchants of Peon traded in multitude of wares with the wealthy Kastorian peoples. He wishes to reestablish the old ties, because commerce fosters friendship."

"We were allowed to sell either salt, or expensive fabrics, or copper, to your peoples."

The Treasurer chimes in. "The price of salt is most stable, while fabrics will need to be sold to the noblemen, which might not be profitable sometimes. Copper can be smelted into bronze, and bronze made into weapons of fine quality."

A) "I'm feling generous! I shall buy EVERYTHING you offered me!"
B) "Neither of these trade goods interest me. Is there anything else you can offer us?"
C) "Our nation could prosper from having a steady supply of copper."
D) "Salt is used by all the peoples, both commoners and aristocracy. We need it."
E) "Fine fabrics will net us fine profits, wouldn't they? I want them!"
F) "Neither of these trade goods interest me, nor does any trade with Xane-Peon. Return to your master at once!"

On the presumption that we will be getting money from Satorias to pay the cost of copper and the other two will pay for themselves in trade.

[auzewasright]

A, what else?

[Weirdsound]

A, what else?

The one issue I have with A is that if we have to pay a lot of money up front, and don't see returns on the investment right away, we wont have money to pay the Orcs when they come back.

Woo, my first Spamkingdom vote!

You convince them to forego their King's orders and instead establish commerical trade of all three goods through Kastorian markets.

The merchants nod, impressed by your wit and charisma.

"We will clear this with our King, but we can see that rejecting our deal will only result in a loss to Xane-Peon." They depart, already debating how to convince King Anreu to accept your proposal.

Next, the envoy from Kingdom of Satorias arrives. He bows curtly before you.

"Greetings, King Lycwl of Kastoria. My master, the great King Xon III, is willing to provide your Treasury with half of the silver bullion our mines produce for the next six years."

A) "That is an absurd price for such a wealthy and populous area. Begone, lest I feel offended!"
B) "That is simply not enough. Your master will have to pay more."
C) "That's a deal!"

Greed is good!

B if they refuse we can still release them as a vassal.

[Haspen]

You try to convince him to give you more.

5*

"I was given some leeway in negotiations, and therefore on behalf of my King, I shall offer that we double-pay in the first of the six years, so you would end with seven years of the half of silver bullion."

A) "More?"
B) "No!"
C) "Sure."
