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.

We won't be spending more money with alchemists this way and we won't have really a deficit.

[Haspen]

You decide to sell the gemstones.

1120 AD, Winter

2to6

Silver comes in many, many boxes! And per your orders, the gemstones are sold away. The Treasurer cries a bit because its been years since he saw such profits.

1120 AD, End of the Year

Happiness: 3
Population: 7
Economy: 1
Army: 2

The Advisor coughs but he has nothing to say. You drum your fingers on the table.

Still, these could've been worse.

1121 AD, Spring

The colonization effort has been a success! Many a wanderer or migrant from across the borders to north, east and south has moved to Methiant. The governors report that thousands have settled in the lands once controlled by Zasitost dwarves. The drive to develop the lands has led many prospectors to sniff around the mountains to the east; you might expect results in some time.

(Population is now at 8; this means extra tax money thanks to Bureaucratic reform).

1121 AD, Summer

Unfortunately, in the west, riots smolder the beautiful landscape once again. Numerous cities populated by Felonsines experience angry people stirring up trouble and beating up your officials and even city guards when nobody's looking. The local administrators believe they can fix this, but some at your court doubt their assurances.

A) Our Army will deal with these rioters!
B) I will address the people to soothe their anger!
C) Well, it's up to the governors then.

[Weirdsound]

B beats doing nothing with C, and we might learn more about what this rabble wants.

Wait... 6 meant +1 tax before thanks to the reform

That mean +2 now?

our profits are +3 from taxes, +2 from silver, +1 from gemstones.

Our expenses are -1 to bureaucracy, -1 to military, -1 to research.

We are no longer spending money on settlement, and tax and silver both increased, swinging our total finances by 3 in the right direction. Once we figure out rifles, we will get another economy back as well.

[Criptfeind]

Only +2 taxes (+1 at 6 pop and +1 at eight) I think. And also without materials research has probably been halted probably.

[mightymushroom]

B Sounds good to me.

Still +3 income per year. We're practically rolling in money now!

[crazyabe]

B.

1 base tax +2

[birdy51]

B All other approaches have failed. It seems we must... Talk to them about their ills. How ghastly!

[Criptfeind]

Only +2 taxes (+1 at 6 pop and +1 at eight) I think. And also without materials research has probably been halted probably.

1 base tax +2

There is no such thing as base tax.

so what do our tax collectors do when we are under 6 pop?
