B indeed, let's get raidin'.  We need quick cash more than we need land right now.

Don't overdo on complex, NUKE.

The more complex this gets, the less frequent updates will be, and less frequent updates is DEATH V8

Preaching to the choir. I've said it before, but I really admire your restraint in running Spamkingdom for so long without feature creep.
...not sure what the complexity you're referring to is, though.[..]

I'll assume it's explaining things
This is my silent realization while in the earliest days of Haspen's games in seeing his attitude from an observer's standpoint :O
But, in general, there's no worries in how you're handling it right now though.

The city walls will now no longer fall down if the enemy looks at them funny, making our chance of surviving a siege that much higher."

Wow, so our walls were vulnerable to grisly staring. We are so doomed. Hooray for the architect! And ending in Spring

The presence of a synchronous crystal in the tower is surprising. Good thing you didn't try the charge tactic. You have it decoupled, and claim it as loot. If you can find another, you'll be in business.

Now all we need to know...is what these things are, alongside this 'fort conduit'.

B
Probably this is the middle ground between 'army raid everywhere' and 'fortify camp'. Hopeful for it going well--and more hopeful for our Martial prowess showing!

B. Commence with the ol' Loot-n-Scoot

[NUKE9.13]

You divide the army into raiding parties and send them out across the land.

3to4

They, ah, 'borrow' food from 'willing' farmers, and, um, 'levy war taxes' on the various villages. However they acquire it, the loot starts flowing in, allowing you to resupply your forces, and start amassing a reasonable stash of wealth.

Your forces engaged in a skirmish with some patrolling soldiers! They were captured, and interrogated. Apparently the local warlord, Donuk the Rash, has taken his forces and marched south to help an ally. This presents an excellent opportunity to raid his 'capital', the town of Kolbit!

A-Indeed, quick march on Kolbit!
B-Let's be cautious about this. Advance slowly, making sure to scout frequently.
C-Nah. Continue looting this region.
D-Nah. Let's go somewhere else.

[Tiruin]

Of course :I They have allies.
What do we have? I:
[Noting that we're fighting Rebels, not Bandits--although the Rebel force that attacked us had 'disillusionment' or something? Somehow their 'ally' is in the south east... This is in comparison to data from the Bandits (bigger Warlord west), in that we MAY be stirring up a hornet's nest since we DID prod it just now]

The question is...do we want to stir it up, as we could assume they're either weakened, or that the land is totally fragmented and up for grabs in multiple parts.
. . .
We're a Warlady!

A!  When that bald madam comes a'knockin', you don't turn her down!

[NUKE9.13]

Let them cower before you!

As Kolbit comes into view, you note the rough ditch & palisade that have been constructed around the town. Evidently Donuk is not so foolish as to leave it entirely undefended.

The men await your command.

A-Palisade? Hah! It shall crumble before our might. Launch an assault as soon as possible!
B-Spend a week preparing ladders and other equipment before assaulting the town.
C-Lay siege to the town, and starve them out.

[NRDL]

[Taricus]

B They build walls? SMASH IT!

[Tiruin]

[nope, not C; initially wrote C]
A risks losing men to a defense unprepared or winning outright.
B spends time to ensure the defense is overcome but what about any allies or such?

C in my opinion spends time and DOESN'T KILL PEOPLE...much, probably, I'm unsure how you siege palisade towns.
But it also prepares us when or IF the owner comes back home with his allied army.

...And maybe even prevents messengers from telling said army beforehand :O

I just forgot and remembered and then forgot despite having the vivid image of a wooden wall, that that's what a palisade is.

B
Edit²
C because I feel like this'll be better off in the social impact for others that we're not raiding barbarians. >_>
Regardless, we may be associated with whomever that dude's ally is at war with because of this. :V

Tiruin: We've still got the moral high ground. We're raiding the rebels, who were partially responsible for the Collapse. Nobody's going to complain.

Right ._. I was unsure about that.
