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.

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.

That helps a bit, and the situation quiets down for now.

Silver and gemstones arrive in the Treasury, and so does the gold.

Even the various metals mined in the east bring profits.

1128 AD, Midwinter

An envoy arrives from the magistrates currently 'civilizing' Tiftit Hurthlings.

"Greetings, King Cyl! I've come under orders of the magistrates to tell you of the fertile slopes of the Hurthling valley. Our farmers have found out that grapes could be grown there at a large scale, but Hurthling farming system of mixed crops and farmlands is simply incompatible with what your magistrates dream of."

"Therefore, the magistrates ask if, for the good of Methiant - and its coffers - they could be allowed to seize farmlands of smaller families and organize the larger ones so that our viticulturists could begin production of what they already branded as 'Tiftit Grape'."

A) "They're there to civilize the Hurthlings and help them assimilate into Methiant, not to anger them with land grabs!"
B) "That is a good idea, but I need them to find a better solution than to anger Hurthlings."
C) "Splendid idea, and they have my consent and my blessing. The wine must flow!"

I have a feeling that this is going to involve throwing more money at a problem, but buying the lands would likely be a decent investment.

[VoidSlayer]

B Mix the grapes into the farm mix, I dont see the problem.

B NOW WE RISE

Mines and stuff are nice, I know, I absolutely love them, but wine can be replanted and will not deplete over time; in a nation where we build canons and are almost creating handcannons, it's time to begin grabbing raw material and transforming in craft, this way we can sell it in a higher price, sell gold? No, sell exuberant Methiantese golden masks, beautiful silver statues and scepters, use the exceptional Methiantese coins, of praised purity.

We could still deplete the soil if we are not careful and overplant the grapes... but I get your point.

[mightymushroom]

B The Hurthlings know their own home soil well. We can't support it if they're not on board.

[Chevaleresse]

A, honestly. Hurthlings know their shit, best not to fiddle with it.

[Twinwolf]

A. Gotta agree with Murdoc, here - there was a reason that when we had that deal going on it was them teaching our people about farming.

Their mix is what makes soil work. Trying to just run it over with a vineyard will probably make em a bit angry and ruin the crops for everyone else.
