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.

[Criptfeind]

Man it's probably not the best answer but fuck the dwarves.

[Prophet]

A I'm still pissed about the Scepter but we did show them that we will get back at them for any attacks on our person. So perhaps we can be the bigger [ ] man and see if they've learned their lesson.

[helmacon]

No option to consult the elves?

B

[mightymushroom]

First, I'm gonna assume they were digging near Zasitost, the fortress that we actually conquered.

I've not cooled off over the dwarves' betrayal. Neither do I want them angry again just now. I also fear curses somewhat and traps more.
Wolf-Fang is a dwarf-made artifact, although it doesn't seem to have quite the same value; nor does it excuse their behavior.
_{It was a 3, by All the Divine! I can understand them walking out, but an act of terrorism? When we were trying to help?}

The elves promised our tunic would protect against Dwarf curses. Let us put that to the test.

You order to have the tomb purified from evil magics, and then looted in the name of Empire!

1138 AD, Midwinter

3,3

Lots of wealth was unearthed from the tomb, according to the governor's report. Plethora of golden and silver coins, plus jewels and jewellery. Several weapons and articles of spidersilk clothing, all of highest quality and heavily decorated, were found, alas examination has shown to traces of magics in them. Purely ceremonial stuff, and with quite few buyers amongst nobility and traders dealing in precious items!

All in all, your Treasury got as much money as you usually get from silver, gemstones and metal mines combined.

Few days later, Estrid finally arrives from Cydwyl, a letter of apology and her belongings at her, along with servants and gifts for Houlandin. The duo marries in a small ceremony.

1138 AD, End of the Year

They year came and went, quite peacefully in fact.

Of course, that means that the Advisor is going to visit you soon - oh look, he's right there!

Happiness: 6
Population: 8
Economy: 10!
Army: 4
Imp.Authority: 0

"The Treasury is filled with riches beyond measure, your Majesty! It's splendid time to spend these riches on something either lovely, or grand, or mayhaps both!"

A) Commission some grandiose statue to reflect your glory and majesty as Emperor of Methiant.
B) Sponsor some glorious celeberations to appease peasants and nobles alike.
C) Refurbish, renovate and repair the royal Palace.
D) Send some gifts to one of our neighbours to strengthen relations.
E) -
F) Seek the services of a traveling and powerful Sorceress.
G) Raise the funding of the Army even higher, so it becomes even grandier and larger than before.

"Also, per your orders, I'm asking - do you wish to issue an Edict this year?"

A) "Yeah!"
B) "Ehh, no."

[milo christiansen]

G We are in dire need of military right now, 4 is not enough.

B Authority is still 0, unless anyone thinks we can raise authority with an edict? /s

Did we resume the construction of the Imperial palace?

Edit: also, those low rolls worry me that we got a curse :/

Authority is too low and we need soldiers.

Yeah the situation that spawned with the Eval War really showed us that even with our grand and professional army we can still be overwhelmed.

[Haspen]

You decide to expand on Army's budget, so it can field larger amount of soldiers at once while still keeping everyone adequately supplied and armed.

No edicts this year either.

1139 AD, Spring

Even as you read the report, the court is in state of panic. Dwarves of Ankurvat and Zonalath have crossed your border and begun attacking your settlements and killing your subjects! Their armies number approximately ten thousand, and amongst them are some lizard riders (at least a fifth of the whole), along with few strange triangular machines decorated with purple crystals, drawn by stout furry quadrupeds with tusks and trunks.

Citing 'the worst of sacriledges possible' and 'to avenge the memory of Zasitost' as reasons behind the attack, the dwarves are here to teach you a lesson - a painful and bloody one, if the few captives at the border are to be believed.

War council gathers immediately and several topics are pursued.

As for the dwarven invasion itself...

A) Our Army will face and destroy them in battle!
B) We must negotiate, mayhaps bloodshed can be avoided.

As for potential emergency mobilization...

A) Duh, where else will we get fresh mea- I mean soldiers?
B) No need to upset our people with this!

As for reinforcements from the outside...

A) Time to call in favors with our allies, the Cydwyl!
B) Let's keep it between us and the dwarves, for now.
C) Maybe ask Lametanians for help this time?

[milo christiansen]

Crush them until they are even shorter!

A,B,B

Let's keep the allies and emergency reserves... in reserve. For now.

[Haspen]

Cript pointed out certain stuff so for now leadership issues are out of voting, we will get to that later ;v

EDIT: Also I just noticed that it was pointed out that Iwald apparently got martial and wise traits - that was a fuck up on my part, ignore the 'second', Iwald is purely martial.
