If anyone is interested in a bit of action, my character Li Jue in Blood Cloaks is stirring some stuff up in the West and has a 65 soldier knight offer that's been up for 2 days for anyone that wants it. No spoilers here as to exactly who the target is, but it is going to make the West a little bit more exciting and will definitely give the children some target practice if they want to join in.

I have a bad feeling I need to get back to the Bloods before something goes horribly wrong.

*sigh* [signs up] Alright folks, I'm hooked on this again. Where do I start for good/active RP?

[Demonic Spoon]

I think I joined the children of armok after accepting a lordship position? Maybe. This game has a bit of an unintuitive interface.

Bandits have been wrecking my territory and I can't do anything about it ;-;

[Arx]

I'm afraid I can't either. :/ Even a light cavalry brigade dispatched from Asitet Anoth would take forever to get there.

There is this one very active bandit that has been patrolling my area for the past few weeks.  He has been avoiding hitting my walled settlements at the very least.

[Sirus]

At least you have walls. My "estate" is basically a bunch of scrubland that struggles to feed itself in the best of times and provides no wealth whatsoever. I can't even get palisades on one of them.

[Zangi]

If I may suggest, feed the scrublands one at a time to build that wall.  Market too if you havn't.

Its a temporary pain, but you'll at least be somewhat better off when done.  Slaves also eat a little bit less...

[wereboar]

Nah, don't bother. You will never raise a decent army in scrublands anyway.
The rule of thumb here is that if your liege gives you only scrublands, he has to provide you with troops. Otherwise he's just using you as a placeholder to reduce corruption and wasting your time.

[Sirus]

My liege did provide me with 20 soldiers when I first started, pretty decent ones too from a casual glance.

Unfortunately, half of those were used as militia in two of my settlements and are now dead because of bandits.

[Zangi]

20 troops, ain't a lot.  Bandits spawn with over 50...

[Insanegame27]

Sirius, if you're in RASTOA, just know that stuff is happening. I've got most of the mechanics of RASTOA written down on a Gdoc and will make those publicly available once I finish them. Part of the mechanics mean that scrublands will be granted food to build markets as soon as possible then channel all surplus food into one of the three. Right now RASTOA has very few soldiers, 120ish of which are escorting a captured cultist back to the capital to spread their religion convert to the Children. Another ~200 are being used to hunt down the bandit(s) near emems and then being on their way to help the black road.


Sorry for all the meta in this post, BTW. Can't think of how to relay my point without it, though

[Sirus]

Yeah, I'm in RASTOA. Emems is actually one of my settlements

[Insanegame27]

Ding! Gotcha. We mainly need those settlements as a land bridge to the more juicy coastal settlements. In the west, food and metal are king. I have just secured a trade deal for the latter with the Lowlands (Having a daughter married into one of the more powerful tribes helps a lot XD. So does being one of their champions travelling abroad. Or rather, one of their travelling champions who has a daughter married into the clan he is a champion of, the clan having an abundance of metal)

Is there anyone here who'd be interested in having a character south, in Sarantium? The reformation of the Empire from the Archonian Dominate has revealed some people who seem to have quit playing, but aren't yet in slumberblight. One is a (guessing, former) vassal of mine, whose estates will need to be reconquered.
