[NUKE9.13]

You don't want to throw good men after bad. Donuk's remnants can have this little victory.

You retreat some distance from the fort, and set up camp. Your commanders recommend that if you intend to continue the campaign, we should look for reinforcements.

A-Who needs reinforcements? Let's keep going! (or go home)
B-Press some local peasants into service.
C-Send word to Kralicanev asking for reinforcements.
D-Press the locals and ask for reinforcements.

Once that is taken care of, where shall we go?

A-North, to Yalanci's lands. Perhaps we can gather reinforcements there?
B-Yet further East. Presumably some other rebel warlord holds those lands?
C-South. Why not pay Donuk's allies a visit?
D-West. Enough of this, let's go home. (Ends the campaign)

Might as well grab some peasants on the way out the door.

Seems more like we're giving them a better place to live. o_O

You attempt to 'recruit' some locals.

2*

Right, right. The people here hate you. Rather than give weapons to people who really, really don't want to serve you, you decide to leave them be, for now.

Your return to Kralicanev is uneventful.

Hoorah! Queen Erin has completed a campaign! Due to the death of her rival, it shall be known as 'The vanquishing of Donuk the Rash'


The rest of the year is uneventful. Seems to be a theme for winter, doesn't it?


Early Spring, 5 PC

As you are staring into the sunrise- the first of this, the fifth year since the Collapse- a slight cough catches your attention. You turn round to see the Advisor, holding the now familiar scrolls.

"Taxes were all paid on time this year, with no complaints. Some of the income went to the new Quartermaster, to make sure your men's equipment is in good shape. Most of the rest went to the army as wages. Which we can hardly afford to skimp on, as murmurs of discontent can be heard amongst the rank and file."

"Should we levy extra taxes, and use them to give the soldiers bonus pay this year?"

A-Happy soldiers are important. More taxes, more bonuses.
B-A happy Treasurer is important. More taxes, no bonuses.
C-Happy people are important. No taxes.

"Some of the losses from the latest campaign were replenished over the winter, though the heavy infantry unit you swiped from Donuk were wiped out entirely, and could not be reformed."

"Your commanders insist that you need more footsoldiers in order to have an effective force. Your response, Dragonslayer?"

A-Indeed, issue a draft.
B-Volunteers are better.
C-*dismissive wave*

You tax the people to pay the soldiers. The parties are displeased and elated respectively.

Your efforts at recruiting go well. Enough people sign up to form a new unit of footsoldiers.


Spring, 5 PC

News from the east. Two warlords have taken over Donuk's former territory. Your vassal, Yalanci, has taken control of the western half, whilst a rebel leader named Xain (whose territory is to the south of Donuk's) has taken control of the eastern half.

As you are mulling over this news, you are informed that an envoy awaits an audience. They claim to come from the north, as a representative of the rightful Duke of Duserge.

A-Well, let them in then.
B-Never heard of him, send them away.
C-ASSASSIN! DUNGEON TIME!

Can we add "under heavy guard" to A?
