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 switching vote to B.

I was already wavering between A and B, and with all this time to think about it I flipped across.
Higher risk (losing Eval AND losing a war, not to mention really low army) but also I think the better chance of a good outcome.

[Baffler]

B. The Agaresians must be running out of manpower by now.

People who switch their votes should make it a courtesy to scratch out their previous posts ;v

You decide to order that your sons and your Army return from Cydwyl and help deal with the Evalian rebels.

1136 AD, Autumn

Your sons have returned; Connan, against your orders however, decreed that Thundercats against Agaresians, along with some few hundred troops, were to be let in Cidric's care until Agaresians are truly repelled, as minor raids continue.

Houlandin on other hand does not want to go. According to what you've heard from one of his favorite servants and best friends, he is in fact both angry and sad about losing an eye and thus permamently being viewed as cripple till end of his days. Not even the fact that ladies find his eyepatch and thick golden stubble sexy and manly seem to lift his spirits.

As for Cidric's self-governance...

A) It's a reasonable thing to do plus it shows we don't abandon our alliance with Cydwyls, so he can get away with it.
B) Scold him for leaving extremely important part of military in foreigners' hands and away from the important battlefield of Eval.
C) -

As for Houlandin's self-grief...

A) Find him a wife. Nothing soothes man's spirit than a beautiful woman at his side, distracting him during monotony of everyday life.
B) Praise his efforts and give him special military command powers, second only to the Marshal, to boost his self-esteem.
C) Yell at him to go and get his ass working against Evalians, cuz you ain't raisin' no slackers in this house!
D) -

What, we don't get an option to send Houlandin on a dangerous quest to find a mage to heal his eye?

[Haspen]

Get enough wealth to attract a Sorceress, and ask for heals v;

Simple as that.

[birdy51]

He'll have to learn to respect his lost eye. Let it be a warning, not a curse. A calling word, caution.

Not sure what to do here though.

[Criptfeind]

A

I thought we were going to do something like this anyway from the wording of the previous options.

B

I think it's a good idea... Not only can he make sure the bits of the army we leave up there are safe, but we'll be a lot more effective with both bits of army lead by martial princes. Long term If we can get a "prince of war" position or something going on we'll have the ability to use both charisma and martial traits at the same time without waiting to breed them up... Of course it makes it a lot more possible for rebellions to happen. We need to work to make sure that the army is loyal to the empire first and their commanders second.

So long as we're giving more and more responsibilities to our sons, once Connan beats the rebellion, we should send Leath to negotiate their surrender, and afterwards to assist administration of the area and help fold it into the empire properly instead of just leaving a bunch of bureaucrats in charge. We've got a lot of adult children with powerful traits, we should be using that!

I like having a one-eyed Houlandin in charge of our sanctioned murder.

Speaking of sanctioned murder though, we should probably start wiping out the Evalian dynasty with the help of our dear Spymaster.

[mightymushroom]

B B

Connan may be martial but letting him disregard orders is asking for future trouble. (Doubly so if he left all the Thundercats – we need those!)

For Houlandin, the wife option could work but I feel like it may easily backfire if he thinks we're forcing her. We can try that if this reward doesn't work.
(If we're very clever, we throw a gala to celebrate the appointment, and maybe he'll make his own match. He's not a cripple, he's a war hero.)

Combining the two, put Houlandin in charge of the Eval campaign but make Connan stay home so they clearly understand whom we favor.

BA

Finding him a wife seems to be the correct course of action, as praising him might inflame his sensibilities.

Changing to the AA Gun

[Twinwolf]

A, B. It was the right choice - we should've been doing that already. As for the latter I actually think A would be better but I'm trying to get one that might win

[Kashyyk]

A, A - Thundercats would be effective against Eval's rabble, but if imagine they'd be of more use against the Lizard Riders.

[Baffler]

AA. We should be able to defeat a few thousand rebels without artillery, especially since they don't have any either. Plus a wife for Houlandin is something we should be thinking about anyway

[milo christiansen]

AA seems OK.
