Turn 2 – Charity Starts at Home
Summer, 1001AD

After a violent beginning, new nations of Arcanus turn their attention inwards, to the recuperation of their forces and the development of their people.

Leader Name: Baron Cothecs

In the wake of last season's embarrasing display, it is understandable to want to replace the well armed warriors that were lost, however you do not have access to the metal required for such a task. Until you can secure a supply, be it through either through conquest or trade, the types of weaponry we can produce will be limited.

For the second time in a year, soldiers of the Storm Empire marched on Thunderton. For the second time this year, the Thunderton watchmen saw Imperial banners and raised the alarm. For the second time, the garrison commander heard the alarm, but this time there was naught he could do. With the majority of his soldiers dead or wounded, he could not muster a cohesive force to repel this next attack.

This second time, without bloodshed, Imperial forces claimed Thunderton.

The defenders of shadevale sent out patrols to find the rumoured Corax longbowbirds, only for them never to return. Skilled at woodcraft, they blended into the scenery, ambushing bands of spearmen with almost no casualties of their own. Soon the stories of these forest demons, with eyes of fire and arrows that never missed their mark had the defenders in a constant state of terror. When the Corax finally chose to show themselves, they immediately capitulated.

One of the elders saw some of the old plans for harvesting the lumber of our home town and in a bid to ease the occupation offered to refine the designs.

You look up from the report handed to you by the guard captain. Those pigs had gone through hell to get this information back to you, and their reward is to be marched off in chains. What of the the one who returned the report, you ask.

The captain is silent for a moment, he opens his mouth, closes it again, then opens once more:

"He ran for five straight days to get this report to you, your majesty. Once he had relayed this information he collapsed. It was only then that we realised that he had tightened his armour to keep pressure on his wounds. It seems the only thing that kept him going was his determination to complete the mission."

Diplomacy I
Unlocks Diplomats. Unlocks Diplomat Hero Promotion.

Diplomat: £500. Cannot attack. Defence 0. Upkeep £20. Can perform Diplomatic Operations. Tech: Diplomacy
In situations where armies and great deeds of valour may prove ineffective, a gentle word and a greased palm can work miracles.

Diplomat: £500. Upkeep £20. Can perform Diplomatic Operations as a Diplomat. Any situation that would force the hero to be expelled/killed cannot be resisted, unless the Hero has units to lead in combat. Expelling occurs as normal, but in any situation where the hero would be killed, they are instead captured.

Spoiler: New Mechanic - Diplomacy (click to show/hide)

Diplomats are not designed for combat, but can act in other ways.  Their chief advantage is as a scout; diplomats may travel freely through neutral territories without paying any passage costs.  They can also move into foreign player territories without it counting as an invasion, though military units in those territories will stop them if the player so wishes (unless it is part of an operation).  Whilst in other territories they can see any non-invisible units in that territory, plus any buildings and defences.

Units stacked with diplomats when travelling through neutral territories only pay half the passage costs (£250/unit instead of £500 for an army, £25/caravan+guard pair for caravans).

Diplomats can be expelled from a rival territory without killing them (if the rival so wishes), whereupon they will be returned to the nearest friendly territory, provided there is at least one military or diplomatic unit in the same territory where they end their turn.  The rival can of course just kill a diplomat in this situation as well.

Diplomats are also able to conduct Operations.  With Diplomacy I only two Operations are available, but research can add more Operations or improve the success chances of existing ones.

Diplomatic Operations

Negotiate Annexe:  Diplomats can negotiate the annexing of neighbouring neutral territories, provided they are not at war with the player country.  There is a good chance that they will agree to an annexe treaty and a small chance that negotiations go south and war is declared for 3 turns.  Otherwise negotiations are stalled or inconclusive that turn.  The chance of better outcomes will increase with research.

When an annexe agreement is reached, the neutral territory will demand a certain payment in pounds (usually several times their monthly tax revenue) to 'ease' the transition period.  (Some of this might go to the people, but most will be used to pay off vested interests.  Such is diplomacy.)  The territory will also demand that the money is paid over a certain number of turns so that the people can get used to the idea of government under the new order.  Research can reduce the financial demands of the annexe agreement and the amount of time that must be waited before full annexation.

Troops may be stationed in partially-annexed countries without it counting as an act of war (although they can then be used to attack the neutral country from within - be warned).  Revenue collection, construction or any of the other benefits of rule will not be available until complete annexation has taken place.

Diplomacy I:  40% chance of treaty, 10% chance of war.  Cost: ~10x monthly revenue.  Increments: up to £400/turn.

Embezzle Funds:  A diplomat may embezzle funds from a neutral or rival territory that he has entered.  Diplomats have a base chance of 100% to succeed at embezzling from neutral territories and a base chance of 80% to succeed at embezzling from rival territories.  The presence of military units in the territory reduce the success chance by 5% per unit.  The presence of another diplomat reduces the success chance by 30% per diplomat.  Diplomats will steal up to 50% of that territory's income/turn from the rival side/neutral territory's cash reserves.  If the rival side has no cash reserves left, the diplomat will instead attempt to incur a debt of £100 to the rival side, which must be paid during its next accounting period.  £50 of the debt goes to the player treasury, the other £50 is spent on bribery and corruption.

On the completion of a successful embezzlement mission, the diplomat will automatically return to the nearest friendly territory.  On the failure of an embezzlement mission, the diplomat will usually be executed.

Diplomacy I:  Base chance bonus = +0%

> And the 'access to' buildings mean 'restricted by territory', as in 'only as much as what you own in this certain territory' even if a region borders a territory with its boosting resources? "Access to" buildings like marketplaces use and resource that you physically have in your nation and any resources you get from trade,  regardless of where they are.  "Required by" buildings need that resource to be in the same territory.

Bakery £200. Requires Farm. Upkeep £20/turn. Generates income equal to 30% of basic income per turn. Tech: Fermentation I

So these are region-wide? As in only if there's a farm within the region, but the income is Nation-wide?

Also on those with 'blank' resources, we can't infer resources from them then? Like if the territory is 'forested', we can't infer 'lumber'? :O

[Kashyyk]

Those are restricted to territories with farms in. Not much help right now because you can only have one industry building per territory, but research will change that.

If a resource isn't explicitly mentioned it's not available no.  There are some trees in forested territories and others, but not enough good quality ones to constitute a resource.
