C the kid is wise, later or sooner he will understand that war ALWAYS come and better he knows what he is doing.

With us talking, maybe sooner.

[Haspen]

You spend some hours trying to explain to Ulan that military tactics and leadership are necessary for even the most pacifist off Kings.

He apologizes for his behavior, and, truly inspired by your speech, decides to excel in both mathematics and battle tactics.

971 AD, Midwinter

Revenues from the gold mines and taxes from the dwarves have arrived in the Treasury on schedule.

971 AD, Late Winter

Once upon a midnight dreary, when you're busy with paperwork, your Advisor and the Marshal arrive to speak with you.

"My liege!" The Marshal half-shouts as to not wake up other people in the palace. "The Advisor and I have stumbled upon a nice find in the library of governor of Luathbas!"

"A treatrise on the structure and logistics of Houlandine armies. It was some sort of mandatory scheme, whereas all youths are taken into the army camps for a year of training. And instead of noblemen providing their own armors, the state pays for equipment of every soldier and officer."

"That sounds costly." You say, and the Advisor nods.

"It is, but this would allow us to replenish our numbers much faster, and our men would have basic training no matter their age and status."

"Truly a boon, considering how violent our neighbourhood is lately, my liege!" The Marshal places hands on his waist.

"Should we begin working out our own system of mandatory draft, my liege?"

A) "AB-SO-LUT-LEEEY!"
B) "Naw, it will only consume money."

[Tiruin]

OH CHEESE. It's the Damdamian Army thingy--I didn't notice that we were using the feudal system lately, actually!

A for GOODNESS YES.
We got gold, we got bits of Luathbas. Of course we're doing it :3
...We're probably a tiny bit as big as ol' Luathbas.

[Harry Baldman]

A!

Who's got two thumbs, a goldmine they don't need to share and a biannual dwarf tax?

This Grand Duke right here! Let's take advantage of our horrendously large population!

EDIT: Forgot to ask, but would it be possible to get a revised map in light of the sudden geographical upheaval?

[Prophet]

A Seems like things are slowly coming back together. 

[Elephant Parade]

A — We have the money. Our liege is probably starting to get a bit scared of us, though.

[Haspen]

//Also turns out I've been wrong with the dates; it's currently 972 AD

You let the two come up with a conscription system for Tven armies.

972 AD, End of the Year

The Advisor brings the Scrolls of Kingdom Status to you.

Happiness: 3
Population: 8
Economy: 6
Army: 3

"As you can see, my liege, the recent additions to our territories included several heavily populated cities, and therefore our population rating has risen a lot! The Tax Collector has concluded that this amount of population, taxed on usual rates, will bring significant amount of tax money to our coffers."

"Also, I must remind you that next year is the year when we have to send tribute to Kings of Dahnia."

"Also also, our Treasury has a lot of things inside which, while our Army and our people have little of their own. Should we hire mercenaries to replenish our numbers, or maybe host festivals for the tired populace?"

A) "Mercenaries and circuses!"
B) "Nah, those won't be necessary."
C) "Only mercenaries, please."
D) "Only festivals, please."
