How fun is SPAMKINGDOM series?

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.

You decide to send the Army westwards to fight the nomads on Eldrican's behalf. Tetan I's brother and you sign two copies of the document that entitles your Empire to half of Koi's silver output for twenty years after the war ends.

1145 AD, Mid-Autumn

The Army has joined Eldrican troops at border with Tirine, where the fighting was pushed to. Apparently already they participated in several battles, where Thundercats and Methiantese discipline proved a gamebreaker.

1145 AD, Late Autumn

A brutal battle left twenty thousand dead in central Tirine; the nomads were routed and they launched a campaign of scorched earth against peoples of Tirine as they retreated toward their home steppes. The forces of Eldrican - with yours in tow - marched outside the borders to punish and destroy the nomads once and for all.

Meanwhile, news reach your court from the south. Margrave of Rucus have managed to exploit and manipulate the political situation in the Empire, and have not only taken the lands of Kingdom of Ebirus into his fold, he also abolished the previously somewhat autonomous Lametanian duchies. Instead of four territories there, now there's only the Margraviate.

1145 AD, Winter

The fierce fighting continues, but Ogan and his hordes might've made a critical error. They attempted to take out Vabokam dwarves out of equation, apparently after learning they supply Eldricans with arms. Normally a sound decision, the horse riders were unprepared for the dwarven fortress' defenses, consisting of giant saw blades ripping them from the ground and reinforced pipe-cranes spewing out hot lava on their heads. During the battle of Vabokam, about five thousand nomads perished while only handful of dwarves died.

Meanwhile, gold and gemstones arrive at your Treasury. The silver is sent to Ankurvat dwarves.

Glassware made big profits. People across Methiant praise the high quality of the goods once more.

1145 AD, Midwinter

"Orcs?" The courtiers murmur as the messenger from the Ironbone Mountains takes off his hat.

"Indeed, m'liege! The greenskins, they're stealing sheep and burning down the mountain hovels! They were first seen in the Summer, but avoided us, but they grew bolder by the Autumn and now has begun to harass us."

A) "It's probably some starving nomads. Can't your militia do anything done these days?"
B) "I will hire some adventurers to get rid of them, no problem."
C) "Our Army will go and purge the mountains of the greenskins right away!"

It'll split the armies effort, but it's big enough and the Nomads should hopefully be recovering from their losses against the dwarves.

You send part of the Army to purge the mountains from orcish raiders.

1145 AD, Late Winter

Eldrican campaign is showing some progress, although there was little activity in past month.

Meanwhile, your Army is having trouble against the orcs. Their roving bands assault encampments in mountains that are poorly protected. Normal tactics aren't as effective and engineers find it hard to properly operate and shoot things with Thundercats and Shooting Tubes. They even caused a rockslide that buried several dozen soldiers alive.

1145 AD, End of the Year

The heavy snowfall this winter is unlike any weather seen in previous years. It's not catastrophic of course, it's just that the Kingdom was used to mild, even warm, winters for last few years.

Of course what's best moment to break your contemplation of the weather than for the Advisor to arrive with Scrolls of Kingdom Status?

The Treasury keeps afloat, it seems.

"The Treasurer however believes that we should continue trying to extra money, and thus he proposes we raise taxes for a year. The tribute to dwarves ends in two years, yet he prefers to be on the cautious side in terms of money, sire."

A) Sure, extra money never hurts.
B) I'm sure we can stay afloat without extra taxes.

"Do you wish to issue an Edict this year, Emperor?"

A) Nope.
B) Okay.

And I'm already suspicious that this weather is related to the sceptre.

Didn't we just buy a Sceptre of Good weather?
