I will try, but as I have only the one keystone, I can't build a mine to get more.

Oh Divine Emperor Tylui The Great and The All-Powerful, and Divine Empress jaina The Beautiful and The Wise, I beseech thee to loan me ten keystone. With this I will build a keystone mine and the homes for it's miners. I will then be able to return to you your ten keystone, and also to offer you many more keystone if you were to ever require them.

Duke Ochita, I cannot afford to give each of my dukes ten peasants, and one keycredit is worth one keystone, or approximately one peasant. We do not know how to train archers. You do not need to forage for food, as my grain shipments will suffice for some time.

Lord Nirur, would you perhaps give send me a peasant? As you can see Lake Atherst is bountiful and filled with thousands of fish and other creatures...Its a shame that we have no fishermen to take the water's bounty. Give me a peasant, and the kingdom will eat bountiful meals forever more! Unless you want to eat grain all day, in which case ignore me.

I'll give you a peasant when I get more keystones. For now, I'd like to keep at least ten in the mines. If you successfully mine one yourself, though, I'll give you enough land for a village.

I shall do some physical work, working in the mines, to bring a keystone.

Dear King Nirur,

It has come to my attention that your court of nobility is not yet filled.  I, Toaster, have been given a divine omen that I am to seek out a fair and just king to serve under, and to tend to any granted lands fairly.

It is with great respect that I submit myself as a candidate for one of your remaining Ducal titles.  I hope that we can reach a mutually profitable agreement.

Sincerely, your servant,

Toaster

I shall grant your request. So long as you serve myself and my descendants well, you will remain Duke Toaster. Welcome to the Kingdom.

Excellent!  I shall serve your kingdom with honor.  Grant me peasants, and I shall put them to work for your glory.


I will likely be looking for four landed vassals, though the exact hierarchy and structure is yet to be determined.


Currently, I am looking for a court jester.  To apply, post your name and a fine example of your humor.  The one selected will be granted 50 hectares of land for their personal use.

Okay so yesterday was stupid; sorry for the lack of update. I am in the process of moving back to California, and as some may know I have a three month old, so that may happen often. If that's the case, I think today's goal is to try to get the Kings to be able to run the game to some extent.

I'm still waiting on Tiriun's submission of slam poetry! :O

---

Anyhow, since the title post, there've been three ticks of time in our great nation.

King Nirur is mining Keystones with 12 peasants: 45 Keystones have been dredged out of the mine!
  ~2 from Duke Dragor

Duke Chaos Armor is harvesting sticks with 2 peasants: 12 sticks have been gathered!

Duke Ochita is harvesting Shimmerweed latex with 2 peasants: 6 Shimmerweed latex have been harvested! The 1 Shimmerweed fiber that has fallen during harvesting would make a great source of string! You've harvested 1 Shimmerweed string!

King Twi is mining Keystones with 8 peasants: Only just 1 Keystone has been found! Perhaps you need more workers...
and is harvesting sticks with 2 peasants: 12 sticks have been gathered!

Department Head McClay is gathering sticks with 1 peasant: 6 sticks have been gathered!

---

From now on, Kings, please report your actions in the following manner:

1 Keystone mine: 16 workers; 4 from Vassal Blahblah, 4 from Vassal's Vassal Blahblah, and 8 of my own
1 Stream: 0 workers
1 Shimmerweed Forest: 2 workers of my own
Vassal's Keystone mine: 3 workers of his own

And list all generating holdings despite having no workers. I'd love you foreverandever.

Also, if anyone can correctly guess the exact formulae for calculating resources generated, not only will they claim a reward, but the Kings can also do these updates on their own every 12 hours(game ticks at 3 PM and 3 AM PST).

There's not enough data for keystone mining.
Stick harvesting rate is 2/peasant/tick
Shimmerweed latex harvesting rate is 1/peasant/tick.

1 stick gatherer = 2 sticks per tick
1 shimmerweed gatherer = 1 shimmerweed per tick


Keystone's trickier- it looks like there's a minimum requirement of workers.  1.25 per tick at 12 workers.  I'm guessing via the rule of round numbers that if you have less than 10 workers, there's a penalty.

*looks at Keystone*

D:

Anyways. We now have a grand total of 6 keystones (each of the vassals has one and I have four). These shall be used to make a farm on Kashyyk's land, and to buy a peasant for him. If he doesn't like it, he's silly. :P

I shall be using my 10 peasants to mine keystone
. You vassals should probably either help with that or get some sticks. Just saying.

Dukes of my realm, due to our newfound prosperity, I'm giving each of you five peasants and a small farm.
Duke Toaster, you may claim a hill, stream, mountain, or the second Shimmerweed Flower-Forest.
Duke Dragor, due to food shortages you will not be allowed to buy more peasants for the time being.
Governor Micelus, I've expanded the lands in your name so that you may have a small village in the future. I have one peasant reserved for you once the kingdom has another farm.
Food tithe set to 20% + surplus.

King Twi, I am sending you a gift of 9 keystones, to aid in your research efforts.

Why, thank you kindly, King Nirur.

I shall use five of them to create another farm. Mcclay and Kashyyk will each get 2 for their own use. I imagine that one of you will be getting a mine pretty soon, so don't worry too much. :P


Here, have an update!
