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.  The other nations, after all, are in as bad a shape as we are.

B

Worse shape really.

Also, twins for our firstborn is going to make the whole succession thing really awkward.

Well... how is Ceodwell, Eldrican and the South going?

I hate to sound callous, but Population is our very best stat right now, probably 8 or 9 with the refugee influx. We might have to do something about happiness, but if we can prevent a riot then we can afford starvation more easily than grain.

A because we're not a cold-hearted bastard.

Er, "bastard" in the pejorative sense, totally not a slip about Cyl's parentage or anything. Nope.

The child inside Queen Esta is either very large or some evil tumor has formed in the womb!

You decide to search for a wizard, and the healer concurs; truly one is most needed now!
...
Your wife Esta gives birth to twin boys!

Please tell me the Royal Physician didn't go to the same college as the Spymaster.

On the other hand, it would be a hilarious if the "correct" answer to all of these crises turns out to be, Keep Calm And Carry On.

Also, yay twins! Good thing that our dear wife is still very much alive. I say if she has another son though, that we should name him after our father-in-law. I'm sure the old man would be pleased about that.

Eyyy boi, this going into my sig.


You decide to pester various food merchants for grain and other everyday supplies.

After some time, your cash fills the pockets of traders while their grain and herbs fill your keeps and storages.

1115 AD, Late Winter

The Spymaster bumps into you at dark, cold night.

"Greetings, my liege. I bring an offer from some of your noblemen."

"Why do my nobles need my Spymaster to speak business with me?"

"It is their request which I felt proper to fulfill. They have friends in the lands conquered by Queen Dogethe and, to be honest, those friends of our noblemen aren't quite happy with Dogethe's iron-fisted rule. They dream of independence but that probably won't happen, so at least a change of ruler would do, and it happens that their holdings are right at the border, just north of Tven mountains. Your courtiers thus wonder if the Crown would sponsor some... trouble in the north."

A) Subterfuge, aw yiss. They have my monies and my support!
B) Nah, not interested, there's enough chaos in the region without rebellions.
C) Queen Dogethe is struggling and her noblemen wish to abandon her at first sight of trouble? I ought to inform her!
D) That sounds fine with me but I'm not going to anger the iron lady outright; I can give them support on a later date.
