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 declare that taxes for peasantry shall be raised till you're satisfied with wealth gathered.

1103 AD, Spring

3

The decision to raise taxes was a catalyst for massive drop of loyalty amongst your peasants. Apparently, years of good rule didn't prepare them for the fact they might need to reward you for your love-handed approach at ruling. At least no one is openly rebelling at the moment.

1103 AD, Summer

The dreaded swamp fever, which kills 8 out of 10 children and leaves the 9th crippled, has seized Yra, your youngest child!

4

Yra is still alive, but the healers are running around her 24/7 to keep her alive. Your wife cries her eyes out because someone at your court is saying that Yra should be killed to cut her painful existence short.

You decide to...

A) Demand that the healers try every herb they know to combat this wicked disease.
B) Tell the healers to give Yra a sleeping agent and then poison her so she dies in her sleep.
C) -

I wanna know what C is...

Anyway, A. Anything for our daughter.

Probably the Wise option. Or the Alcoholic option to tell them to do whatever and go off to your quarters to drink yourself into a stupor.

That said, A!

You demand from the healers to try any, ANY herb of medicinal use to battle the disease. You cannot lose your daughter!

She lives! After a week of tough battle, Yra is cured of the swamp fever. She is weak and less lively than before. The healers beleive there might be problems with her development in the future, but nothing's certain.

She is alive and that's what counts.

1103 AD, Midsummer

Kingdom of Ionith is no more; its young, childless King died after a long illness, and Queen Dogethe issued a letter to his courtiers, demanding that they turn over the land into her hands. Facing potential pretender wars and Cydwyl armies, the Ionith nobility surrendered the territories Queen Dogethe. Her kingdom expands once more.

Meanwhile, the Fireblood caravan arrives in your capital city, supplying your alchemists with new ingredients.

1103 AD, Autumn

Your magistrates all report that the bureaucratic reform has been implemented! New offices ensure that the Kingdom will be running smoothly and efficiently!


Congratulations! Bureaucratic Reform has been implemented.

Population of 6 or more will now grant extra taxes at the end of the year (previously it required 8 Population).
Other reforms will be passed more quickly, and with less possibilities for something to go wrong.

1103 AD, Mid-Autumn

A most surprising turn of events has occured, because a delegation of Hurthlings, living in isolation for almost a century, has just arrived at your capital!

The stout ltitle people are all clad in pink woolen cloaks with chainmail hiding underneath them. They're clean-shaven and look at you with certain contempt.

"Griitings, hooman King Luath! Our masters, the Tiftit Family, saw no choice but to turn to you big ones for help. Our land is suffering from lack of foods. Pliise, show your kindness, hooman, and provide us with grain. The Hurthlings will not forget it." Your courtiers of course discuss this lively amongst themselves; according to the folk tales, Hurthlings are supposed to be masters of agriculture. For them to suffer famine or crop failure, is truly a catastrophic event.

You decide to...

A) Dismiss the Hurthlings, as you will have nothing to do with them.
B) Send them a single caravan of grain, but nothing more.
C) Attempt to negotiate a payment for your grain first.

If we can exchange food for agricultural knowledge (which I hope they did not lose) or just access to their lands for our traders we can truly start rebuilding.  If we get nothing we can always just give em some food for now.

With our charisma, outright insulting them should be a difficult thing to do.

[Iituem]

C, since it's the only option that lets us send more than one caravan of grain.

[Kashyyk]

Sweet. I think we've got enough population for that tax bonus now, so we shouldn't have to worry about running out of money due to all of our trade deals.

C sounds good, for both the reasons above.
