Yeah! Loving all the aspects of it, and the original series got a bit boring, to be honest.

It's quite good, and has everything a SPAMKINGDOM should have.

It's okay, wouldn't mind seeing the original series updated again though.

You let the diplomats in, although the guards and Orcs eye them cautiously, just in case.

"Greetings to the noble and wise King Lycwl of Kastoria! Our monarch, benevolent and generous King Afonso V of Satorias, have took it upon himself to foster amicable relationships with his neighbours and thusly has sent you these modest gifts of silver and gold. Please accept them with gratitude, your Majesty."

The Treasurer and the guards inspect the chests, and indeed, the six chests are filled to brim with ornamental jewels and coins made of silver and gold bullion.

You decide to...

A) Seize the offerings and kick the diplomats out!
B) Accept the offered money with gratitude.
C) Send the envoys away along with their petty gifts!

The men are giving us money. This is no time for arbitrary rudeness.

[RoseHeart]

Are custom answers allowed?

[Haspen]

You accept the offered gifts, and the emissaries bow gracefully.

"May there be peace between our nations in the future." Their leader says.

A) "May there be, now shoo, I have kingdom to run."
B) "I remember Crown Prince Lino from ten years ago, how come he did not succeed Xon III as King of Satorias?"
C) "Would you be interested in a trade agreement with Kastoria?"
D) "Mayhaps we could strengthen the peace with a marital treaty? I happen to have plenty of daughters ready for future bethrotal, you know."

[mightymushroom]

C

I very nearly said D, but we were recently warned about our apparent oversupply of imported salt. If we can be a successful broker, that'd be good.

[Superdorf]

Armies, navies, morale-- everything that keeps us in one piece runs, in the end, on money.

You attempt to convince a further relationship by the means of a trade deal.

"Sadly, no, we are not. Your gesture will be noted, and I'm sure that in coming years King Afonso might present an offer of his own. May Father and Mother watch over you, King Lycwl." The diplomats leave soon enough.

416 AEC, Autumn

The gold bullion arrives on schedule! It is sent right into the Treasury, much to the delight of the Treasurer.

416 AEC, Mid-Autumn

A dispute has erupted in the capital's city council.

Apparently, workers of Count Huino Baltena, during renovation of expansion of his family's estate gardens have struck polished rocks. Further excavation exposed an ancient temple, the arrangement of stones and tiles pointing it to one of the old temples of the Father and the Mother, the archaic floorplan dating it to very early years of the religion, just before collapse of Etreria!

Unfortunately, Count Baltena, a Dogan devout, is not willing to budge to the clergy's request for his estate's gardens to be passed into hands of the cult for renovation of the temple as a holy site. This of course angered the clerics, who claim that Count Baltena is a heretic and a traitor to the Kastorian way of living.

Courtiers murmur, as many are friends of Count Baltena, whilst other are supporters of the Familial faith and don't like Baltena's heathenry.

What do?

A) I will compensate Count Baltena by buying his gardens on the Cult's behalf!
B) I ain't touching this, let them find a way themselves!
C) The cult of the Father and the Mother cannot turn over someone's estate for a pile of old rubble, and I shall explain to them why.
D) Maybe if I offer to sponsor renovation of one of their other old temples in the region, the Cult will leave Count Baltena's estate in peace?
E) It's time for me to intervene and negotiate between the Count and the Cult, for the good of all!
F) Count Baltena needs to see the importance of the ancient temple site for our brethren - I must persuade him to relent.
