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.

B, gotta keep up strong relations with the possibility of a Holy Damdamian invasion in the not too distant future.

[VoidSlayer]

B, while selling fire blood components would be a good short term boost to the economy, we would just be backing out of it in a few years, which would not help relations.

[Haspen]

You try to sell the services of your alchemists and engineers.

After some time, this is what you and the envoys managed to come up with: you would send your men up north for a period of five years and receive money after that period; the amount of money received would be approximately 6 years of taxes.

A) This is fine, we have a deal, gentlemen!
B) No, this won't do, let's try something else.
C) Half now and half later, just in case.
D) No, this won't do. Begone from my court!

[Prophet]

C If we're going to do this. Which I assume will come back in the form of the Cylwyl invading us with Fireblood weapons later. Mainly because I'm paranoid after we've had two of the 'Friendly' nations next to us go back on their word and betray us. Then we're at least getting payed half the money before they get the chance to back stab us.

[mightymushroom]

That's a lot of monies. I assume that means we won't have siege engineers to operate Thundercats during the next five years if something breaks out?
(Although our "professional" training plans should include dedicated ordnance officers, if the generals are forward-thinking.)

But that's a lot of monies. Uhhh . . . C

@Prophet: I assume that if we got it, Cydwyl could get it somehow. Might as well get paid for it. You want dangerous betrayal scenarios? In addition to Damdamian theocracy, I believe Eldrican our fireblood supplier is Damed worshippers as well. Which side will they take in a fight?

[helmacon]

Is that 6 years of our taxes, or 6 years of their taxes?

C
for now

[birdy51]

C We need the money and this is a good way to sell our expertise.

[Kashyyk]

D - We'd be spreading our army mighty thin if we went for this

[Prophet]

D Our Army is only at four and it's already in Lametania. So I agree with Kashyyk on this. Plus as I've said multiple times I don't trust Cylwyl under the current opportunistic queen to not turn upon us.

You ask them to ensure that half of money will be sent now.

They agree wholeheartedly. Queen Dogethe must be in dire need of Fireblood if her diplomats are so easy to convince.

Few days later, your senior alchemists and engineers leave with the envoys, to work for Queen Dogethe's Fireblood program.

1108 AD, Midsummer

A certain prospector arrives at your palace.

"Greetings, King Yoe! While I was doing my work this year, I stumbled upon some old prospecting ledgers that once belonged to a town governor from lands that once belonged to Donuth. In these ledgers, I've found enough evidence to conclude that the Tven mountains are abundant in silver ore!" The courtiers whisper amongst themselves, as a new silver mine would solve many, many problems that popped up recently.

"However, I am of no wealth or fame to pull off a mining endeavour like this. Therefore, I must ask the Crown to provide me with money and supplies so that I can prospect and dig the silver mines." You decide to...

A) Sponsor the prospector and send some money with him.
B) Reject his offer, as you are currently on tight budget.
C) Ask him to tell him more about Tven mountains, the ledgers, and everything else of note.
