The kingdom of Verana

[/b]

The Kingdom of Verana is a land that has long been ravaged by civil war, foreign invasion, and incompetent leadership. But this land is your homeland you grew up in it the son of a well off merchant by no means as rich as the nobility you certainly weren't as poor as the many of the other commoners who often would struggle too put food on the table. Though your father always dreamed of more for you wanting you to one day join the ranks of the nobility so he set to training you to be an effective leader and statesman. By the time you reached adult hood you had become a skilled [negotiator, speaker, warrior, commander, steward]. On your twentieth birthday your father granted you a small fortune worth of money to invest as you wish you invested this money in [land, trade(starting your own trade company like your fathers), men(bribing select officials and creating a wide spread network of contacts), or mercenaries(Started your own small mercenary band)]. As you began to reach your late twenties yet another civil war broke out in verona between King Arelus (the cruel) and his brother Count Duncan the zealous you of course sided with [Count Duncan or King Arelus] Due to your distinguished service in the war you were awarded the title of count of [Drecl, Treca, or Osca] This begins your time as a count of Verana will you succeed and one day rise to be king of this nation or will you fail and see your self hung at the gallows the choice is yours

This is gonna be an illustrated suggestion game about being a count in a small european nation. Where you must manage your lands, and your relationships to climb through the political ladders to one day become King of Verana. Each of the bracketed bold sections represents a choice that shapes your young life and leads to your appointment as count and will decide how you play the game. After two days ill tally the votes for each individual section and the ones with the most votes will be finalized

Speaker

Land.

Count Duncan (Such a lowly noble becoming King has shaken up the ladder of tradition in the country. Perfect for another upstart.)

Count of Osca.

I'd put a name but I'll wait for the OP to let this part in. Definitely going to enjoy this.

No one likes a mad king... particularly living under one...

[Robot Parade Leader]

1.Warrior
2. Land
3.Count Duncan
4.Count of Osca

Being a warrior will make us harder to kill in a land of civil wars. Land can be used to generate things like crops or something to trade and to perhaps house men. Mad kings suck. Osca is far away from the Dark Swamp, and looks fertile with trading possibilities (ships and road).

Unless of course I'm reading that wrong. I might be. Who knows.

[TheLordofHouseRiley]

Hey sorry I forgot to mention y'all can choose the name of the character as well as the gender just know that in general a female character will have a harder time

[3man75]

1.Warrior
2. Land
3.Count Duncan
4.Count of Osca

Meh. Switching to vote for this. Sea-Trader/Raider sounds good to me.


Name: Alexis Dupont
Gender: Male

[~Neri]

1. Steward.
2. Men.
3. Duncan.
4. Drael.

Drael is at a river source and surrounded by mountains. Aka a really fucking easy place to fortify, a major source of ore, and if needed, we can dump poison downstream a bit and kill provinces downriver.

[Nunzillor]

What's the difference between speaker and negotiator?

[3man75]

What's the difference between speaker and negotiator?

I imagine speaker can rally people and be social at parties while negotiator makes it more fruitful to conduct deals. I.E getting extra from a seller when you dont have enough really.

[TheLordofHouseRiley]

Alright so as of now we have
3 votes for warrior which is leading just ahead of steward at two votes
Men is at 4 votes while land is at 2 making Men the deciding victor
There is unanimous support for Duncan so of course he's the victor
Osca has beaten Drecl out by one vote on the starting county.

So with these results I'm gonna begin making the first turn it should be up by tomorrow morning or this evening depends on how much free time i get to work on it

[3man75]

Hooray for future pirate privateer lord!

Seriously can you imagine how much we can expand by being the Director of our own East India trade company?

[/u][/b]

At last the brutal civil war that had torn the Kingdom apart yet again has ended Count Duncan or King Duncan now I suppose has executed King Arelus and the majority the lords loyal too him. Due to your distinguished service in his name King Duncan has decided that you are the perfect candidate to help him fill that leadership role. He has awarded you the County of Osca to rule over in his name. Thanks to your expansive network of contacts you know quite a good deal about the lands of Osca. Most notably the count of Osca sided with the old king during the civil war as well as the Barons of Osca and West Osca. While the Bishop of Foxdell and the Baron of Woodcliff sided with King Duncan. This has left the county as a whole devastated with the country side being ravaged by war and the famous castle of Woodcliff left razed to the ground. You also know that through some well placed bribes and quite a bit of treachery the Baron of Osca escaped execution and still is technically ruler of the Barony though he is currently in hiding. You also know that the Barony of West Osca is currently under the rule of an eleven year old child who despite his young age has decided to take on the full responsibility of leadership for his barony. Thus far the child hasn't managed to run the barony into the ground but you fear its only a matter of time. You know little of the Bishop of Foxdell other then that he is known for being a recluse and that he fancies himself more as a knight and a lord then a proper bishop. With this knowledge in hand you seek audience with the King to request _______ to aid you in establishing the Kings peace over the county of Osca.

Well thats it for the first turn. You get a chance to ask for one thing from the King he may reject it or he may accept it so choose wisely
