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.

I'm gonna go against the grain and say B.

Usually when we have a high enough economy at the end of the year, Haspen will throw a bunch of fun and creative options as to how we might spend the surplus our way. I'll bet that happens next year if we don't spend all that much.

[Twinwolf]

B, for now. Still 2 years on the treaty I think, anyway.

[Haspen]

You agree to increase the Army budget, so it becomes even larger and powerful of an institution.

1126 AD, Spring

News arrive from the east; apparently, Ansbach the Pretender has captured the capital of Ceodwell! Calahan III fled along with his court, but rumors have it he has procured thousands of Gubta troops as mercenaries to help him regain control over the country.

Some of your courtiers wonder aloud if this isn't an opportunity for Methiant.

A) Sure thing, we will invade Ceodwell and conquer it ourselves!
B) Sure thing, let's help Ansbach with some money.
C) Naw, let's keep ourselves out of this mess.

I really, really want to say A, if it was a few years from now there would be no question about it.

...

Screw it. A

No, wait. C we can hit them as soon as the war between them is over.

[Kashyyk]

B - The army is very healthy right nowand we've still got some time to rebuild further before the treaty expires.

C - Let Gubta exhaust their men first and wait for the treaty to expire. Breaking it will be bad and our foreign presence may encourage the Ceodwells to settle their differences and fight together against us.

[Weirdsound]

C

Lets not violate the treaty. Even if we don't get involved now, it is likely that the country will still be a mess in two years.

[Twinwolf]

So you guys remember that civil war that we had? That seems to basically be what's happening there. Let's wait for them to weaken each other.

C.

[mightymushroom]

B We've got some money to spare on destabilizing our neighbor.

No, C Let's not accidentally help someone to power whom we can't declare war against. We're all looking forward to it.

By my count:

+2 Population bonus
+2 Silver Mines
+1 Gemstones
+0.5 Cloth trade (1 @ 3/6 chance*)
+0.16 Metals (1 @ 1/6 chance*)

-1 Bureaucracy
-2 Army
-1 Fireblood R&D

The rainy day fund is still growing but we may have trouble if anything happens to those mines again.
*I don't include luck on these because I haven't figured out how often it processes.

[Harry Baldman]

C! Hopefully they'll exceed the three civil war turn limit and completely screw themselves in the process!

[Haspen]

You decide to not get involved this time as well.

1126 AD, Summer

Torrential rains and cold wind has had profound effect on Methiantese farmlands this year. Even now, farmers lament their losses as many a blooming field has been destroyed, promising naught but empty baskets and bags during this year's harvests. Some governors and village elders turn to the Crown, hoping to receive funding to buy grain for the coming winter.

A) Duh, of course I will help.
B) Sorry, ain't got money for this.

damn dwarves..

A This is what the rainy day fund is for – rainy days.
