A

[Tiruin]

You allow the messenger to come in.

A moment later, a puzzled guard comes in.

"My liege, this messenger seems... incensed."

"Incensed?"

"Drunk, or something. He takes swigs from his waterskin since our soldiers met up with him..."

A) "They've sent a drunk to deal with me!? Toss him out, I won't stand such insult to my status!!"
B) "Heh! A drunken man is easier to negotiate with. Bring him in, bring him in!"

MAYBE he got DRUNK because he LOST HOPE and otherwise THIS IS CRAZY because we can shove him out when we get to hear from him.

I mean it's not like they're sitting on their walls with telescopes and then giggling behind those parapets as they see this diplomat drunkenly drag his way in.

And "A" is winning by...around 3 or so at this point o_O

B
Actually...sans my vote:
AAAAAAAA (
BBBB (4+Tiruin)
B
Also yeah the thought of him having a rudimentary bomb got to me--but one's alcoholic blood content can't even, for that. :V

[TheBiggerFish]

Ehh...B?

[Haspen]

You have him sent back.

971 AD, Spring

The two cities continue to resist.

A messenger from the capital brings a summary of Scrolls of Kingdom Status for your perusal.

Happiness: 3
Population: 7
Economy: 4
Army: 5

The court noticed the rather sour mood of the populace but as you're at war and the economy of the Duchy is so-so currently, they decided against sponsorship of festivals.

971 AD, Mid-Spring

A large cavalry force was spotted in the east; there's about thousand and hundred of light cavalry, riding under seven different banners of Luthian cities.

A) This means we should fortify our encampments and prepare for repel the inevitable charge of theirs.
B) Let's split the besieging forces so about half our numbers goes and meets with the cavalry.
C) Time to abandon the sieges and find ourselves a better spot to fight!

[NUKE9.13]

Eh... 1100 isn't that much, is it? We have, like, four times that? It's only light cavalry...
:/
Well, this could go poorly, but fortifying the camps just means we get attacked from both sides, and abandoning all our siege progress is a worse idea, so

B

[Criptfeind]

Yeah, rip I guess. Leaving the city behind is my first instinct but with the domestic issues we've been having, we probably want this war to go fast. And since they are light cav we probably can't ignore them because otherwise they could raid our supplies. So, rip I guess.

B

[Tiruin]

Population: 7

We have grown!

B
Just handle the morale and we'll get a good surplus of folks in, maybe?

[Criptfeind]

Hum. How can we turn population into a usable resource. I guess drafting, but that normally lowers happiness as well doesn't it? So population isn't a huge bottleneck.

Maybe when we hit high population we'll get offered a chance to trade it in for a large bonus like we did when we hit high economy and the sorceress came in spamkingdom 1, but I'm not sure what that'd be... Maybe demon summons come needing to sacrifice a kingdoms worth to summon demons or something?

[Harry Baldman]

Oh crap, this is probably like Reigns where the overpopulation is just as bad as underpopulation. We better watch out lest we get hit by the damn plague. That is, if the famine doesn't take care of it first.

Anyway, B seems like a sound plan.

[Draignean]

Oh crap, this is probably like Reigns where the overpopulation is just as bad as underpopulation. We better watch out lest we get hit by the damn plague. That is, if the famine doesn't take care of it first.

Long Pig, the gentleman's solution to both famine and overpopulation.

B

[omada]

B Let the pikemen and our horses deal with them.

If the population is high enough maybe it means more taxes? More volunteers into war if we are knew as a good lord?

More screwed if people decide to rebel?

[Haspen]

Yes to all.

 cause sacrificing a kingdoms worth of people wouldn't hit happiness, right?

[Weirdsound]

Split our forces? Sounds like that could backfire... But what the hell, I'll jump on the Bandwagon.

We could ask the demons to mind control our population to increase their happiness.
