"Ah, yes, well. Obviously there are costs involved. Materials and manpower do not come for free, you know?"

As it happens, you have a whole bunch of manpower at your disposal, in the form of your army. And surely materials can be salvaged from elsewhere in the city- even though that will make future reconstruction harder. You discuss these options with the architect, and eventually agree on

A-Using both the army and salvage to repair the walls.
B-Using just the army
C-Using just the salvage
D-Using neither, and paying in full. Wisdom: Wait, you actually don't have the money to do this. You'd have to go into debt.
E-Not funding the project. Can't afford it.

B - It's building walls for defence of the city, the army can suck it up and deal with a bit of manual labour.  We're not going to need them until it's expedition time or if someone comes knocking, so we might as well make use of them until that armour and recruitment is ready.

[NRDL]

D, let's get our economy on track first.

[Taricus]

B, it'll serve to give our army some respect from the populace as well when they see them helping rebuild the city.

That is a very insightful take on money :3
I chuckled when seeing everyone go B. Would've done that too.

But hold up.

NUKE: What do our people think about salvage and using salvage works? [Obviously in a 'what do we think our people think' in terms of our character.]

...they would not have survived themselves without scavenging the ruins for supplies.

You agree to have the army serve as labour for the project, and allow the architect to salvage materials from ruined buildings throughout the city. After spending some time confirming the details, you shake hands and part ways.

Soon after, the feast ends. As it turned out, dragon meat? Not especially tasty. But it's not about the flavour, its about eating a gods-damned dragon.

There is some grumbling amongst the men about having to work like common labourers, but they agree that the defence of the city is worth a little discomfort. The wealth of ruined buildings provides plenty of construction materials, albeit not the most coordinated ones, meaning the walls will end up looking like a patchwork quilt of masonry. There are, of course, some other minor costs, but nothing that causes the treasurer to yell at you.
Repairs are estimated to take 9 months, and obviously more if the soldiers working on the walls are called away for some reason.


The rest of the summer is uneventful.


Early Autumn, 2 PC

Your new heavy infantry have finished their training, and are ready for duty. They're still a little wet around the ears, but they know which end of a sword is which and can put on their armour without falling over.

The armoursmith returns to your court to report on his progress. Per your orders, he has been mass producing light armour for your troops. However, there is not enough for everyone. Who should receive the new armour?

A-The veteran footsoldiers shall be rewarded for their duty.
B-The light cavalry should be given extra protection.
C-I think our archers could use it most.
D-Hmm. Perhaps with more time (and money) he could reinforce this armour with metal plates, and turn it into heavy armour with which to equip a new unit?

[Taricus]

A, poor sods can use it; they're the ones dying in droves usually.

Some leather armour and a proper shield will help those who have already survived a battle or two survive the next as well. It'll give the rest something to look forwards to.
The armoursmith will still be there, ready to produce more armour should you find yourself with some spare cash.

"One last campaign before the winter, dragonslayer?"

A-Nah
B-Sure
