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.

All religions are equal, but mine is more equal than others.

B, forget the eleven made-up gods of Parsia, hit him with the six words royalty cowers to hear: "you are out of the will".

F, at this rate we're going to have to remove leath from the inheritance.

If the lecture doesn't work, I'd wait until our army is home and recovered before doing this. It might be a good excuse to start shit with Parsia... or for Parsia to start shit with us.

I'd rather not remove Leath except in the most dire circumstance. My reason is in the meta game: I'm looking forward to using charismatic for all it's worth with the resources of our empire to back it up.

No really, I would start forcing Leath to see all our messengers visits and paperwork, it's time for him to start seeing how real work will be and how one bad step can blow everything

Yeah, why should only the martial kids get an internship? He's more than old enough to work for his supper.

You decide to talk some reason to them when they sober.

Your lecture seems to have taken effect, as Leath swore an oath to never try anything stronger than ale, but Abis looks positively dissappointed, albeit she too promises to not indulge in herbal mixtures anymore.

1136 AD, Midsummer

Few skirmishes in the north is all that happens, according to Houlandin's report.

Then your court receives an extremely worrying report from the south - the Empire has invaded Lametania! Apparently some law dispute brought to the courts escalated with help of a round of insults. Margrave of Rucus has gathered support from King of Ebirus and Chancellor of Maxus, and their combined marches are apparently already besieging several border forts and cities in southern Lametania.

If Lametania gets subjugated or annexed, the Empire, its peoples and its faith will have direct and quite wide border with Methiant.

A) We ought to make an excuse and go conquer juiciest bits of Lametania ourselves!
B) Let's secretly send some supplies to Lametania.
C) Let's being a war subsidy campaign to steadily supply Lametanians with arms.
D) Ehhh... let's just not get involved.

Hmm... A.

We may want to hold the war horses. While it would be nice, we cannot take on the Empire with a divided four. Our son is up fighting with a sizeable chunk of our army right now. For now, D until something more rational comes up.

We're simply spread too thin.

Not to mention the last time we went against the prophecy things got pretty brutal.

Spoiler: been a while since one of these (click to show/hide)

+2  Taxes
+2  Silver
+1? Mixed metal, average
+1  Gold sharing deal
+1? Glassware, average?
+? *I have to look up the exact years ketton cloth profit sharing comes in

-1  Bureaucracy
-2  Standing army
-2  Fireblood court (-1 procurement, -1 research)

-2  Health crisis

Okay, we may be in better shape than I feared, even if that's not perfectly accurate.
The only way we dropped so much in the coronation year is if those big building projects were pre-funded. (I think.)

C

If we're careful about spending we'll come out okay.
We just agreed to formal alliance with Lametania, we need to do something helpful but the army is away.
(If Cydwyl is not suffering endless waves of Agaresians, perhaps we can bring that army south again very soon?)

Aw fuck. I forgot that people made that decision. Changing my vote to C I guess....

C. Even if they lose, maybe Methiant will at least be known for honoring its deals.
