Quite a few of the yellow regions I've taken have had walls. I think it's safe to plan that they have, at the least, walls, given that they are like 2 steps up from yellow.

By the way, about giving the empire this run around for a year, does that will they show up at the start of two turns from now, or three turns? I'm not sure if the 6 month period of this turn counts towards that or not (like, does the agreement happen at the end of this turn basically, leading too next turn empire free, the turn after that empire free, and then the empire? Or if it happens somewhere in the start of this turn, giving us next turn empire free and then empire the next turn?)

I think I mentioned it in here already, but everyone moves, then everyone fights, so if you move an army into a territory to defend it, those soldiers will get there on time.

Does this mean that one army can effectively defend three territory a turn? (at base movement speed without roads o/c) If they start in territory A, and their orders are "Defend Territory A, move to Territory B and Defend Territory B, move to Territory C and Defend Territory C" that all three territories will be defended at all points in the turn?

The agreement happens at some point this turn, so you will get one turn after the current one, then in the second the envoy will be back. If you asked for him to come back in six months, you'd have him again next turn.

You can have an army patrolling the border in this way, yes. However, as Territory A is being left this turn, it will not be under the army's protection.

I see, interesting, can an army spend a movement point to enter a territory they are already in for the purposes of defending it? Like if you want to defend a four wide roaded border.

@Criptfeind: Yes,  that could be done.

Well we tried, but our messengers got sunk repeatedly, we assume that whoever is on that island has spies in our court. I would send you the remaining money but i am afraid it will be sunk as well as long as this problem persists.
If the Empire can solve the issue coming from Biting the Seas might be safe enough again to send the treasure fleet with the outstanding taxes.

 I assure you, the empire will get to the bottom of this. Meanwhile, my associates and I will be able to bring the tax back with us once we have concluded our business. If you can confirm that the empire will receive a tax equal to twenty percent of gross income then I will be able to authorise an  expedition to Biting.

As long as our lands are threatened we cannot pay the tax as the money must be used to protect our people.
 If we are expected to protect our own lands then we will need to keep enough of our own income to maintain such forces, as such we would be willing to provide £400 in tax as back payment and £40 per turn (adding to the back payment if we are delayed in dealing with the threat).
 Do you accept this offer? Or have you a counter offer to make?

I have seen the statement you made, And we are unsurprised the Dragonborn distrust humans given you mistook them for us or us for them one of the two, anyway we hope the Empire will see reason. Or they will see axes, either way...

You seem to misunderstand, Lord Ambassador, i will not risk losing yet another years worth of taxes on the sea until that threat is taken care of, afterwards i will be more than willing to pay my taxes in kind but i am not sending out treasure fleets under such conditions.

Did we make the trade of weaponsmithing for Inperial Law? Because thats solidly going to be kept secret.

The traders are slow.

We howver would like to be updated on this "Bannerstock Guild".

They are another polity on good terms with Pollock, to our south. They are the only other group we have agreements to trade Imperial Law to at this time.

Do you believe in magic?

It seems likely, but we have not had the resources to pursue this yet.

Kashyyk, I think I'm done editing my turn now.

 Very well. I will have the island investigated and will continue auditing your accounts whilst matter is resolved.

If these "pirates" are truly such a threat to you, the Empire will deal with them. Then there will be nothing to impede you from the £702 of back payment and £140 tax per season.

[Nirur Torir]

Can we reasonably expect all Imperial regions to have walls?

I do not think any Imperial cities will use tier 1 walls.

I'm surprised that armies can patrol so well. I thought we'd need to invent and build watchtowers and roads.

[Kashyyk]

I knew I'd forget people had the technology, so I decided to just give it to everyone.

[RulerOfNothing]

Kashyyk, is it possible to fund expeditions to search for artifacts, and if so how much would they cost? Also, what happened to the walls in East Parnassus?

[snow dwarf]

I'm really sorry guys that I disappeared for so long but I had to go to the hospital and then fly from Europe to China the next day. I've been recovering since then. Is it ok if I pop back again for turn 11?
Really sorry again for not even saying anything.

YOU'RE BACK Glad to see you back and well \o/ Your nation is still alive and having been auto'd by Kashyyk--you'll have to confer with him about its status, but apparently he auto'd you to autotrade with the rest of us :3

Give what to everyone?

[Kashyyk]

Give what to everyone?

The ability to patrol armies around and thus protect multiple territories.

Ohey! I was wondering what had happened, glad you're okay. I was working out what to do with you, so this solves that problem. If you can get a quick turn I can get this round resolved soon

Kashyyk, is it possible to fund expeditions to search for artifacts, and if so how much would they cost? Also, what happened to the walls in East Parnassus?

Currently, artifacts will pop up as and when I come up with a good way to have them appear. The walls probably got lost in my slew of accounting, I'll get that fixed.
