[NUKE9.13]

Ooh, I like those numbers. Mm-hmm.

Amongst notable people leaving in fear of prosecution are Lady Axa and Lady Idorina with their families, from the Lechite branch of Houlandine dynasty.

What did I tell you? That would've been a whole mess.

Anyway, yes, let us increase our population figures. Maybe some future conquests (I still want to see the Chunug 'punished' and their lands seized) can bolster them even more.

B improve people wellbeing?

The Advisor notes down your answer.

"Furthermore, unlike people's mood and numbers of coins in the Treasury, getting the population numbers higher is a long-term goal. Shall we make this a single-time expense or should I set aside some resources for, say, next five years, Your Majesty?"

A) "We can support a five year drain thanks to our profits and taxes, so let's go with that."
B) "Better not to plan ahead too far. We will spend money on these improvements for 890 AD only."

[Kashyyk]

A  I think we can afford that.

Stability is key to growing the population. Knowing that the money will keep flowing year after year is critical to attracting immigrants and encouraging our populace to have more children. A one-off investment would be a waste of money. And we can afford it.

I think I'm misreading but...doesn't B mean "spend that 5 year expense all, now" and A mean "plan for 5 years while continuing stable growth in that time period"?

And I wonder what would be our other source of revenue than gold if or when those mines deplete (which would take a long time)

Probably trade taxes and peasant taxes.

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

890 AD, Spring

Your vassal, King Beren of Kiwi, have sent you a letter.

In the letter he bemoans that recently the Chunug has been threatening his people and even harassing some trade caravans going about the southern borders of his land. He then asks you to lend your Army so he can invade the lands of Chunug Tribe and deal with that bunch of horse savages too. You write a reply in which you...

A) Forbid him from attacking the Chunug.
B) Agree to begin plans of a two-pronged invasion of Chunug.
C) Deny his request but do send him money and supplies so he can wage the war on his own.

[Taricus]

C, he needs to be able to stand on his own two feet against the hordes, and we've got bigger issues.

[Tiruin]

I'm geographically rather under the impression that we're better off getting a bit of land from the Chunug than leaving them alone in that scenario--we're also very much entitled under this cause that the Republic or any other neighbor can notice.

Besides, we have nothing to leave our army against at the moment.

[Harry Baldman]

B, shouldn't really tarry any longer lest the Senate forget the arrangement at hand.
