Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

We can always pawn them later, and if one of our daughters marries into the Coedwell line, it would make a fine wedding dress.

You called it!

C, good old Ceodwell!

You agree to the contract, and have your decision written in paper for the emissary, who leaves the throne room thanking profusely for entertaining his monarch's idea.

Few days later you learn that theb shady emissary from the west perished from torture. Oops. The Spymaster then presents you with the report: the only thing they managed to get out of him was that he wasn't actually an Eldrican emissary.

1096 AD, Late Winter

Your courtiers are ecstatic; they believe they found you a proper wife! It is Segeda, daughter of wealthy nobleman from the eastern borderlands of Methiant, not far from where the silver mines are. They flatter her beauty and wide hips, though little is said of her intellect or conversational skills.

A) Fine, let's marry Segeda.
B) Nah, find me someone else.

[Harry Baldman]

A

Oh. My. God.
Yoe, look at her hips.

[omada]

Buy her an snake as a gift, call it anaconda

Oh. My. God.
Yoe, look at her hips.[2]

i don't know

Pros: Wealthy nobleman
yoe,look at her hips (People still believe that it help having healthy babies right?)
Maybe we won't get problems from cydwyll (although there were never problem before with these marriages after death)

con:
More interesting wife from abroad could be lost
Can bore us to death
Talk what she shouldn't talk.

bah, we need to keep the zerg rush heirs factory going before we die and we get a succession crisis.(even though, if one of our daughters is gifted we could always change the law before we die and make her the heir)

B We didn't love Gedavina for her looks or hips (those hips though), we loved her because she was able to keep us sane with her attentions and talk. Having someone who is not a conversationalist will just make her absence all the more noticeable.

This humorous banter is part of why I love these games.

HMM :I
A, because probably all these OTHER thoughts are agreeing Besides, she could just be shy--book shy and socially shy. We can help that.

You decide to marry Segeda; the wedding is scheduled to Spring that's just around the corner.

1096 AD, End of the Year

You feel as if it has been a while, but it's been only a year since last time the Advisor brought the Scrolls of Kingdom Status to you - ah, here he is!

Happiness: 7
Population: 5
Economy: 8
Army: 3

"Your Majesty! If our kingdom is to prosper, it needs more grandiose projects, now that we accumulated lots of money! My aides have prepared several ideas and I'm sure your bright mind have few of their own."

"Also, the people of the Kingdom are quite complacent with your rule and happy with their lives. If there was ever a moment to reap the rewards in the way of extra taxation, that moment is now!"

As for the project...

A) Sponsor construction of new houses and settlements around Methiant to fuel immigration and baby-making.
B) Send the money to develop Felonsein, both to repair war damage (what war?) and get some points amongst recently conquered Felonsines.
C) Build a grandiose monument of victory to commemorate our numerous and successful campaigns and skirmishes.
D) Send for the dwarves so that we might get ourselves a powerfuly, shiny artifact.
E) "Naaaaah." Take a swim in your newfound sea of riches.
F) Refurbish the palace to make it better defended and of proper size for a man of magnitude like yours.
G) Actually, let's send money to Alldivine Cloisters, requesting fresh troops.

As for the taxation...

A) Sure, why not, extra monies is always good!
B) No, lets keep the taxes as they are for now.

"I also must inform you that your scribes have finished the update of the royal map of the region." He unfolds the huge scroll and spreads it on your table, too.
