Sadly, with the new clay works requriing all its time, Leonardo had no time to lead his troops into battle. However, he had to do something for his Jonasburg allies.

I will provide for up to 2 more Might to help Jonasburg, on the same term they proposed.
I will also accept the offers from Higgs and the Mercassians.

Sheb, are you aware that you have no PC left to spend?

[Sheb]

Apparently I wasn't clear enough. What I'm doing is offering up to 4 Wealth to buy Might at 2 Wealth/Might to support the Jonasburg. I'm basically extending the mercenary contract they have for up to 5 Might.

What's my current relation with Red Baronies?

[Iituem]

It's my birthday (26!) and my girlfriend is coming over to stay for the week, so updates will be thin on the ground (~1/day) because she likes to monopolise my time!  (Which is fair, because we're long distance and only really see one another a couple of days every month.)  That said, I have time to knock off a quick order execution before I have to go pick her up from the train station.

What's my current relation with Red Baronies?

Neutral.  It will take 2.8 more Influence to hit Pleased, assuming nothing changes in their circumstances.

Spoiler: Orders (click to show/hide)

I will send 2.8 influence to Trilania and 2 Influence to Yul.

ACTION: Accept the Deal of Jonasburg. Threaten Morgrad with 3 Might to make them give in to the demands of Joansburg.

Send 2 Wealth to Phantoni
Build 2 Might
Primeria commits 1 might to the defense of Morgrad, should an offensive be committed against them.

Phantoni will commit 1 might to defending Morgrad in case of an attack.

I will provide for up to 2 more Might to help Jonasburg, on the same term they proposed.
I will also accept the offers from Higgs and the Mercassians.

The Duchy of Phantoni reassigns part of its diplomatic corps, moving 2 Influence over to sweetening relations with Trilania.  (Cost: 2PC)

Primeria transfers 2 Wealth to the Duchy of Phantoni.
Primeria builds 2 Might at the cost of 1.6 Wealth.

The Ferdicis set up a standing payment of 6 Wealth/Turn to Higgs and Mercassia (half each), who both reassign 2 Influence each to improving Ferdicis relations with the Technocrats.

Jonasburg recruits 2 Might at a cost of 1.2 Wealth and masses its forces at the border of Morgrad.

Morgrad raises 1 Might at a cost of 0.8 Wealth, bringing its total to 5.

With a combined potential force of (3+3+3) 9 Might on the side of Jonasburg and (5+1+1) 7 Might on the side of Morgrad, Morgrad sees little hope of succeeding in the standoff.  It pleads any other sides to intervene who might, as it is on the verge of surrender.

On a successful capitulation under these conditions, Jonasburg will pay out 6 Wealth to Finster and 4 Wealth to Fengrad.  Morgrad will pay nothing on capitulation.

Shrot of an active attack by one side or the other, it looks as if this conflict will resolve on threats alone, without violence.

Happy Birthday and enjoy your free time!

Wait, I thought influence was unassigned every turn.
If I knew I had to pay PC to do my action, I wouldn't of done it.

[Urist_McDrowner]

Wait, how does that add up? I got Mecklen's influence and Mcclay's influence amounting to two, as I recall, and I also paid for Mecklen's this turn.

[Sheb]

Emral, RTFM. If influence disassigned itself each turn, why would you ever need to re-assign it?
Urist, how many total influence did you spend?

[Emral282]

Eh, I thought you were able to use PC to effectively get a point of influence. It actually makes more sense this way though.

[Iituem]

Wait, how does that add up? I got Mecklen's influence and Mcclay's influence amounting to two, as I recall, and I also paid for Mecklen's this turn.

In the case of the Red Baronies, it takes 4.8 Influence to shift them up a relations category.  You got 2 points of influence last turn from Mecklen and the Wall, and this turn you'll get another 2 points assuming influence assignment stays the same.

Influence adjustments to attitude are done at the end of turns, partly in case of reassignment.  For instance, were Mecklen to betray you or suddenly find they were subject to massive unrest, they might decide to reassign their Influence - at which point you wouldn't get the benefit of improved relations.

I'll post a bit later on more things.  It looks like this is going to be a short turn, so I'll do the results of the minor crisis and then a quick "any last orders" with a turn likely tomorrow.

[Iituem]

With no other recourse, the Duchy of Morgrad capitulates to the demands of the Jonasburg Barony, ceding the port town of Norwhen (1 Economic Infrastructure).  Because Morgrad was unable to provide sufficient deterrent, it considers itself not obliged to pay out any of the funds promised to pledged parties.

The Jonasburgs pay out 6 Wealth to the Jarldom of Finster and 4 Wealth to the Free City of Fengrad for their assistance.

Unless there are further orders, the turn will end at the end of the day and turn 3 will begin.

[Sheb]

Yay Jonasburg! You show 'hem!

Now, it do sound good to me. I'm ready for next turn.

[Urist_McDrowner]

Hire two might for 1.6 PC

[Iituem]

The Duchy of Morgrad, after some persuasion, has agreed to accept the protection of the Kingdom of Primeria as a vassal state.  It is now obliged to provide military assistance to Primeria for defensive purposes.

Morgrad disbands 2 Might.

The Liga Bentanii recruit 2 Might at a cost of 1.6 Wealth.
