after some consideration i have gone to do a bit of Noble workover so that you are not completely out of a job...

Sooooo...
Would it be easier if I just ditched the part about their father being maimed and write them as trying to found their own trading company?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name : Tsujochi
Position : New clan leader/Mercenary
Physical description : Tsujochi is slim but broad shouldered with heavily muscled arms and only slight muscle on the rest of his body.
He has long tangled black hair and his skin has a slight yellow sheen from the use of animal fat to protect it.
Backstory : Tsujochi is the 3rd of 4 sons of the Windborn horse clan. Amongst the horse clans the windborn we're well known for appearing and vanishing again so fast nobody could come against them in sufficient force to stop them, living on the planes in constant warfare with the other tribes you became hard quickly or you died.

They had spent countless generations selectively breeding to create a horse that was both strong and extremely fast and put that work to great use, being surrounded by other clans the windborn survive through a mixture of fear and respect earned through countless raids in which they were never beaten. To be beaten is to show weakness, to show weakness is to be killed by your neighbors.

TsuJochi is exceedingly average for his people, he rides and wields bow and swords as well as any of his tribe. He was taught to ride before he could walk and to fight as soon as he could hold a blade but he lacked the killer instinct and lust for battle of his family and his tribe. This is not to say he was a pore leader, he developed a reputation from victory and for bringing his men home alive but he was looked down on by his family for his methods, often choosing to use tactics rather then simple speed and brute force but the families of the clan who's men served in his raiding companies respected him for keeping them alive and families of his brothers were jealous of them.
In many ways Tsujochi was the weakest and worst of his fathers sons but in one key area he had proven himself the best of them.
Tsujochi loved his men and willingly risked his life to defend them coming near to death multiple times for it and in doing so earned the loyalty of those who followed him.

On one such raid Tsujochi returned to find his tribes home in flames and his people destroyed or scattered. Several other tribes had banded together and upon seeing him leave had taken the chance and attacked the tribe whilst part of it's number was away, Tsujochi being left in a hostile land had no choice but to flee his lands lest the other tribes wipe out what remained of his people and so he headed for the relative safety of the lands beyond his tribe.

Ok, so do I start with a Manor now, or need to buy it?

[Patrick Hunt]

Just a couple of quick questions to clarify while I work out by turn.

How many people can a single cattle feed for 1 meal?
Also do I have any younger mounts that aren't listed because they can't be used at and can I have 1 spare? It's for RP but if I can't it's good I'll just lose 1 man from a company it won't make any real difference.

[Parsely]

Hellatious PTW.

[Fniff]

Hey, should I say that Farah leaves and does something or do I need to outrun the Cogs.

[Gamerlord]

Well I'm back online.

[Harbingerjm]

Ok, so do I start with a Manor now, or need to buy it?

*Cough*

[Ghazkull]

Harbringer, you start with a manro as soona s you have been granted land by a Liege Lord.

Fniff, post an action on what to do next. If you want to outrun them i will roll for it jsut as for the battle.

Patrick, 1.your thousand Cattle feed your entire tribe for one season at least right now, if you get more people you obviously need more food.
2.You have no younger mounts.

By the way, your tribe does currently need one parcel to graze its entire herds. Due to their nomadic nature they don't produce any nutritious feed for the animals and thus they only graze. Over the span of a season the lands reach a point where they cant sustain your tribe anymore thus forcing you to move on.

A Parcel needs two years to recover from one season of grazing. Should you stay longer than one season on a parcel it will still sustain your tribe but the parcel will be degraded and thus less worth for a sedentary landowner. However at a certain point a parcel becomes even unusable for your tribe and is simply barren.

As your tribe grows (or shrinks) the number of parcels they need to sustain themselves increases...up to 3 Parcels at which point if your tribe grows further you simply will automatically degrade parcels by being there.

[Patrick Hunt]

If I get the money to upgrade the parcels can they sustain me for long or recover faster?
Like turning them into something that will also produce a crop that can feed the animals in addition to grazing.

[Ghazkull]

Nay you can't your people deliberately chose a Nomadic Lifestyle, thus they refuse to farm. Besides if you start to set up farms you are obviously no nomadic Horse Tribe anymore...

[Patrick Hunt]

Hmm good point, this raises a problem, after 3 season the land is gonna begin degrading.

How much would feed for a full season cost?

[Ghazkull]

let's see: 1000 Windborn- Horses and 1000 Cattle that would equal to some 4 or 5 Ducats.

[Patrick Hunt]

Well thats gonna be difficult.

How much does it cost to upgrade a parcel to farmland? I can't do it myself but if I make some money I could pay for Shoot to do it, then I take the crops and he gets the tax income.

I can use the herd and foraging to supply the humans fairly well.
I guess I can graze the horses across the border each day while the companies are patrolling and keep my parcels for just the cattle.
But this is going to be very costly. Although don't the cost of the horses get covered for me? They are technically part of the regiment.

[Harbingerjm]

Ahahaha. Yeeeessss...
