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.

Except, if you don't pay the taxes to travel, you turn the merchants away. You don't seize the wagons full of silver that belong to another kingdom.

This is obvious fuckery.

[Prophet]

C Well I'll vote to give them a chance. If this happens again though then we need to have some serious words with them about communication.

[Criptfeind]

B

Even if they didn't pay the taxes they shouldn't have had their good seized.

You send an angry letter to Prince Celer, demanding return of stolen ore.

The wagons of ore are returned to the border and now in the custody of your soldiers! A letter was also given by a Ceodwell escorts.

In the letter, Prince Celer formally withdraws his country from the trade treaty of silver and spice.

Your merchants and courtiers loudly bemoan that something be done about this! You decide to...

A) Tell them to shut up and be happy that the silver can at least be added to the Treasury.
B) Sponsor an expedition to establish a safe route to Gubta lands through the uninhabited and rarely traversed Ironbone Mountains.
C) Send a letter to Prince Celer, demanding that the trade route be restored at once, or there will be consequences of his dishonorable conduct!

The dude is only hurting himself.

Might as well. Even if there's no path to speak of, maybe we'll find some fun stuff there. Mind you, the mountains are unlikely to be uninhabited for no reason, but that only makes them more intriguing!

[omada]

It took three years for them to do something, they should had sent us a letter before

B

I'm sure they aren't packed with undead anymore.

It's in the treasury.

How come we can't levy troops anymore? The alldivines ate basically mercenaries, but we still have our own army, right? That's why the Marshall was against the reforms.

So where do they come from? I don't think we have raised any of our own troops in a long time.

[mightymushroom]

I think there's basic recruiting behind the scenes the same way taxes and such are handled – "Uncle Yoe needs YOU!"

Unless we reestablish the spice trading – which only had a few years until our mine runs out, as I recall – happiness will not increase as easily as in recent years. The Treasury doesn't need extra taxes at the moment. E C

[omada]

E let's sufocate whatever  traitors that might still be there (we should have done it before)
hmmm, Although i think this shall please the nobles, at least 3/4 of the nobles were eliminated and we got people's support, and we still haven't seen any military bonus from it (or we need to select it a few times for it to work? Or everytime we got time to answer an attack on one of the forts were the actual improvement from this?)

C Okay, let's sufocate them by expanding our walls and making they feel like "Damn, to get into the king is impossible" and make every visitor feel like they're being treated as angels

C, no we are 1 point  to getting 10 hapiness and our money is still very nice, harvest this when we are in great need

[Twinwolf]

F, so we can spend money to ensure more will be coming in the future
C so we can try to see if anything special happens at 10 Happiness.
