TURN SEVEN
TURNTURNTURNPOLIS ACTIONSSuggested: Celebrate (Merchants), Celebrate (Soldiers), Celebrate (Nobles)(YYY)
Failed: Passed: Celebrate (Merchants, Soldiers, Nobles): Merchants, Soldiers, Nobles gain 1 Mood. -3000d Treasury
A massive party, in honour of several gods, brings joy to many. This is the life.PLAYER ACTIONSGOVERNMENT EFFECTSSoldiers lose 1 Mood. Priests gain 1 Mood. Nobles gain 1 Power. +1000d Treasury
Commoners are dissatisfied with the lack of Celebrations catering to them: -1 Mood.
Treasury gains 6x75=450d
BAD CONSEQUENCESOver Bureaucratic Capacity! This results in a random Bad Consequence from the Over Bureaucratic Capacity table being chosen. No, you don't get to see the table.
Result: The Treasury loses 2500d (probably the mildest consequence on the table, at least in this situation)
With all the tax collectors busy organising parties, the treasury suffers.
The current crop failure is just a stroke of bad luck. Could happen to any government. Definitely not the result of farmers spending too much time partying to take care of their fields properly.
Regardless, it's here now, and we have to deal with it. We could spend government money to buy food from abroad, and distribute it to those in need. Or we could leverage government labour to support farmers, enabling them to salvage some of the harvest and supplement it with forage and game. We could technically do both, but either option should suffice to avoid famine. Options:-Import Food (costs 1000d Treasury)
-Divert Labour (costs 500d Treasury)
((I generate events ahead of time, so the compounding funding troubles are coincidental))
STATE OF THE POLISTreasury: 325d (-4050)

Whilst this Law is in force, the Polis gains 75d Treasury per turn, multiplied by Noble Power.
This Law will automatically be Repealed if a situation causes the Nobles to be taxed more (which will be made clear at the time). The Nobles would Hate that.
