This game is kind of fun for around twenty seconds, but when you're on a downward turn there's no coming back. Over the course of the last minute, I've started no less then four games because everything went to shit immediately.
How do I prevent Minor Bandit Groups from raiding away 100%+ of my gold income per turn?
Why do hundreds of my soldiers desert when I have plenty of gold to pay them?

[Huw2k8]

Sorry to hear that you've had a little trouble dude! It's harder for bandit groups to raid you if you build palisades, your money cannot be touched if you put it in the bank, a good way to earn some side money is arena betting, soldiers can sometimes desert if your army is weaker than the rebel army, if the rebellion is stronger than the kingdom its rebelling against some of your men lose face.

Best solution is to try and open trade deals with some of the independent kingdoms, that will get you a better income! get some more peasants to earn you a good harvest, and hit the rebels with all you've got to weaken the rebellion!

good luck

[Lukewarm]

I can't weaken the rebellion because more soldiers then I kill desert each year, making me weaker for negative damage to the rebellion, perpetuating the cycle.

[Huw2k8]

If you explore the north, the first location you unlock is the slave post, get some slave soldiers, they are cheap and almost identical to regular soldiers in strength, use them as fodder!

If you're really having trouble with the rebels, send all your troops, an army of 400+ should work, peasants included!

This update took a lot of work to make, this is the hardest I've worked in a long time and probably the biggest update I've ever done for this game, There are tons of bugfixes, new features and additions, the biggest being the inter-faction relations feature, it's not completely finished but it works and its playable, as it stands enemies only raid eachother, they dont invade or skirmish, this will change soon! also the relations with eachother don't worsen after an attack which I also plan to modify soon, that aside, I hope you guys enjoy the update!

I'm liking this game, and the music is cool too.

One thing I've noticed is that you can shorten the income report, but it would be cool where even on long income mode it has a short summary of income, expense, and total balance on the bottom, so you can still browse through your expenses to figure out why they're so high etc. but can still just see it at a glance.

[Hanzoku]

There should probably be more downsides to outlawing goblin slavery in the kingdom. Currently, it has nothing but positives:

1 - improved Public Opinion
2 - Improved opinion from the minor goblin tribes, so they're pretty much guaranteed to trade without issues
3 - May lead to goblins voluntarily joining your military (though they go last, after soldiers, knights and bandits, so if you're down to goblins fighting... you've sort of screwed. This is also why banning buying goblin slaves doesn't matter a whole lot.)

[LoSboccacc]

ptw

isn't betting a little too much easy money?

[Witty]

As another general suggestion; tax laws are far too lenient. You get an initial public opinion knock - then a fairly easy supply of money from there on without issue. I'd imagine that public opinion would continue to decrease overtime as long as the tax is in place, wouldn't it?

[ollobrains]

more complex betting and more complex and scalable in some way tax laws are a good way forward, waht about development of the game world ( like a development index)

@Hanzoku, good point, what bad-sides should there be to banning goblin slavery? perhaps you get a cut of the slavers money each turn and banning the slavery loses your cut!

@Vivalas, Wonderful suggestion, will be added to the next update!

@LoSboccacc, I agree, but soon I will add an odds system where the payouts will vary!

@Witty, good point, I should add continual penalties! not a bad suggestion

@Ollobrains, I agree on both, as for development of the world, what do you mean? development index?

What is the purpose of banning militia? All it seems to accomplish is preventing you from buying / selling peasants while also lowering public opinion.

[Huw2k8]

@Vivalas, you get more peasants join you each turn if you have forceful enlistment
