Just you know, to help me get the visual snack in my mind.

I misread it as this.

[Criptfeind]

The empire awaking is pretty spooky. They are quite vast and I know that I for one can not afford the taxes they ask for.

[Khan Boyzitbig]

United we could all humble this crumbling ruin of an empire. I am more worried about sea serpents than imperials.

[Sheb]

Speak for yourself.

[Nirur Torir]

I too close and can't afford to ignore them, but I can afford to hire legal scholars (next turn).

If they're accosting single province PCs for taxes, can we also expect a decrease in NPC defender strength?

[Criptfeind]

I don't think it'd be that easy. They have 24 provinces, each one probably very highly developed with at least the more powerful low tier troops. Maybe once we have universal trade and 2-4 capital level income provinces each we'll be equal to them.

I do think however we should be united against them. Hell, if we just kill all the envoys, and so no word ever gets back into the crushing bureaucracy that the outside expedition ever bore fruit, it might even be possible they forget us, at least for a time. If people start paying in then people within the empire are going to start having a vested interest in the going ons outside it. That'll only lead to more and more pressure put on us. Remember that right now they think we are worthless barbarians. Show them we have things of value, and they'll only become interested in taking those things away, or even worse, folding us into the empire.

[Taricus]

And I shall continue to drown my sorrows of my horrible luck with the RNG.

[Criptfeind]

Well. Eh. To be honest. Mirror match up of defensive troop vs defensive troop. You do sorta expect the team defending to win.

[snow dwarf]

Our plan is to throw the empire envoy to the sea serpents and hope for the best. For 'northern barbarians' it seems a rather valid plan.

[Khan Boyzitbig]

Best use of taxmen is the first course for a sea monster. And every other course too.

The consequences might be scary though.

[Khan Boyzitbig]

We might be able to appease the sea monsters if the empire keeps sending dinner to them. And if the empire actually decides to send an army to investigate well they can take care of the sea monsters and we simply find something else with a voracious appetite for taxmen to feed.

Like this plan.

I have a proposal for you, If you choose to reject it I do not mind.
We propose an exchange, the province of Cloud for a trade agreement as it would provide a land border between us, You would still earn more than the province provides in tax income due to trade.

We are sorry, but the northern lands were always a part of the dragonborn culture and we can't give them up even if it provided profit. I hope You understand.
