I'm just trying to start a normal civ thread, please no bully.

>>2304838
Id be more invested if you could describe the setting we play in.

>>2304838
Make it multiplayer and with a map like here and I'll join >>2304645 I'm not playing any more of these zero effort single player civs with no maps and which die after a day no more nigga

>>2304845
Also this

>>2304845 sure although it'll be a bit vague until we have our choices of race, location and a few others
>>2304860 sorry it's centered around a single civ, it's not a builder it's a civ thread, I might make a map later but I won't provide one from the get go. It will likely last longer than a day and will not be a zero effort thing, for me at least.

The gods once walked the earth amongst the mortals, it was a time of great and powerful magic where archmages battled out to figure out who was the fiercest but the magic over the centuries seems to have weakened - artifacts from this bygone golden era of magic lie buried in ancient towers and dungeons for those bold enough to face the perils to go fetch them. The era of the gods came to an end when the good gods led by Tyemis the god of order defeat the forces of Qiqton the god of the underworld and his allies and banished them out of the material plane. The good gods then left the material plane out of their own accord, but not before teaching their mysteries to their respective chosen races. The mysteries of the dark gods were also preserved although mainly in more secretive circles.

In more recent times an ancient continental island who was deemed long lost was rediscovered and several factions from the old world decided to send settlers to colonize the place. These islands however already had some inhabittants plus settlers from another continent then unknown to the people of the old world.

In these new lands you'll carve a place for yourself and your race in the history of this world or perish like countless other did before you.

Dang, I was expecting a quick start.

Oh well, guess I can wait. If we don't get enough votes today until around midnight I'll be back tomorrow around 16h UTC to start the thread.

So it's Desert Humans? Could be fun, let's wait awhile to see if more people show up.

Are you the dude from the cucked Elf Civ?

Anyway, ignore the faggots, they just want attention.

I'm feeling like doing a little Demon stuff but I don't want this to slow down even more.

Im terrible at naming so ill wait for other anon to suggest something but my other suggestions are

> A famous mercenary company
A band of highly skilled heavy horse archers would be sweet

> Weenar, God of Night and Day
> Kaphine, Goddess of Oracles
> Yfdea, Goddess of Finance
Cause these seem like a fun combo to me

>>2305372

> Our steeds bred for speed
> The accuracy of our ranged soldiers
> A famous mercenary company
Our horses are some of the finest in the known world, coming from a long lineage of steeds bred for speed. Our town is famous for being the hometown of the "Irontip Brigade", a band of highly skilled heavy horsearchers who sell their services to whoever has the gold to pay for it. Last you heard they were asking a whooping 4,000 gold coins for a year of service - not that anyone would likely need them for more than an odd season anyway. We have a number of horses and we can train horsemen, their upkeep is twice as costly as that of a swordsmen.

Stables -> Horsemen

Our traditional gods are Weenar, the God of Night and Day, Kaphine, the Goddess of Oracles and Yfdea the Goddess of Finance. We've built shrines to each of the three gods in our town, the shrine to Weenar bestowing upon us the boon of Watchfulness ritual giving us a bonus to exploration, the shrine to Kaphine bestowing upon us the boon of Prophetic Dreams ritual, giving us a bonus to diplomacy, and the shrine to Yfdea bestowing upon us the boon of Rubbing Hands ritual that gives a bonus to trade.

Weenar's Watchfulness Ritual -> Exploration bonus
Kaphine's Prophetic Dreams Ritual -> Diplomacy bonus
Yfdea's Rubbing Hands Ritual -> Trade bonus

But we're not alone in the world!

Living around here for so long we've had our share of feuds with the surrounding races. Which races do we have unresolved feuds with? (pick two, you can pick the same race more than once)

Horse archers are great, but I don't know if I'd want to devote all our bonuses to them, especially since we're not nomadic or in immediate danger. But knowledge never goes out of style.
> Our learned scholars
knowledge + oracles = divination = superpower
This way even in peacetime, we can sell horses and make money from mercs while we focus on economics and fun stuff.

> Kaphine, Goddess of Oracles
> Yfdea, Goddess of Finance
not sure about third, night & day sounds weird and interesting, but so does ancestor worship. Or we could do something practical like Time or Luck, or something fancy like Music or Beauty.

Yeah i was thinking day and night time and oracles but then thought MONEY

Alright, switching to

> Our learned scholars

Our scholars are famous for their vast collections of scrolls that they acquired from three continents, they are learned in wisdom that scholars from other lands can only dream of.

Library -> Bonus to research

>Name settlement

Lord Trit Atatau the ruler of the settlement built upon the margins of the Gety river has had to contend with the trolls from Golurtz and the goblins from Suma in the east way too many times. Luckily we have our trusty allies the dwarves in their southern citadel of Khela and the centaurs of the Brine tribe who roam in the vast expanse of the savanna to the west. Besides them we know of the halflings in the northern city of Asminster on the mouth of the Gety river. We're also aware from ancient lore and tales of travellers of the existence of lizardmen, elves, vampires, orcs and demons in this continental island, although we aren't certain about where they dwell.


It's the year 801 and it's Spring.

We replant our farms as usual. Our tax rate is 10%. The tax collectors go around doing their business and after paying the wages of our military we raise our treasury to 1109 gold coins.

Our most recent census report our population at a whooping 5067. Our population have 329 horses, 2567 cows, 4325 sheep and 5320 pigs.

In our tavern circulates rumors about a necromantic tower in the far southeast, orcs cultuating demons in the far southwest, a war between elves and humans in the northeast and a war between halflings and lizardmen in the northwest.

Our artisans complain that we don't have any wood! Perhaps we could trade with one of our allies for some.

What should we do next?
> Build basic infrastructure (other?)
> Build defensive structures (stone wall, 8/16/32 seasons depending on size; palisade, 2/4/8 seasons depending on size; watchtower, 1 season; moat, 4/8/16 seasons depending on size; castle 2000 gold 40 seasons)
> Build special purpose building (scholar's guild 800 gold, shrine 100 gold, herbalist 400 gold, treeplanter's cottage 200 gold, harbor 600 gold, windmill 800 gold, temple 300 gold, parthenon 700 gold 3 turns, university 1000 gold 20 seasons, cathedral 1300 gold 20 seasons, other?)

It's the year 801 and it's Summer

Our miners do open pit mining for stone and iron ore at a nearby hill. It's neither safe nor particularly profitable but get us enough trued stone and iron ore to serve our everyday needs.

We decide to send a large trade caravan to Khela to trade with the Dwarves. We trade 263 sheep for a couple wagon loads of funguswood. The dwarves only had seeds for underground fungus trees so we took some of those. We hire 6 horsemen and equip them for 120 gp, they'll cost an additional 120 gp upkeep every spring. Our treasury is down to 989 gold.

We also start building a stone wall. How large should this stone wall be?

So guys what direction should we take the civ? looking at the basic research options we dont really have basic magics

>>2305738

It's the year 801 and it's Autumn.

We decide to build a stone wall large enough to encompass most of our houses. Our miners are hard at work stripping the hill of stone to our masons specifications while our laborer's do the foundations work.

Stone wall (1/8)

We decide to spend 800 gold buying and crafting all the special aparatus our scholar's need to perform their research. We build them a large guild house where they can experiment with all kinds of tools and components. Our treasury is down to 189 gold.

Scholar's guild -> Research bonus

We send an exploring party consisting of our 6 horsemen to the northeast. They travel past the goblins territory and reach some lush forests. Perhaps these are the lands where the elves dwell? They also find a ruined tower with gargoyles guarding it. They return to report their findings.

What should we do next?

It's the year 801 and it's Winter.

We decide to have our laborers continue building the stone wall around our houses.

Stone Wall (2/8)

We have our scholars start researching arcane theory. Luckily we have plenty of scrolls detailing basic rituals so we should be able to start casting at least some cantrips soon enough.

This winter is not particularly harsh, we're well prepared to survive it with warm clothig made out of leather and wool.

Reminder not to neglect the gods, especially the Oracle. Divination is the purest form of scholarly magic.
Also don't neglect the river. We should build a tree farm and some boats asap.

>>2305834
Well we have weird underground fungus tree seeds right now not much good for us just yet and lets have a major festival this coming turn you make a good point

You're probably right about the gods though

If you hire the adventurers you can gave state controlled ones, sure. Humans are all about money.

It's the year 802 and it's Spring.

Your tax collectors go around again and after paying our army we end up with a deficit of 11 gold! Our treasury is down to 178 gp. Your advisors say we should consider either lowering our expenses or raising taxes.

We have our laborers continue building the stone wall around our houses.

Stone Wall (3/8)

We send a trading caravan to Khela trying to establish a consistent trade route to sell our pigs attempting to make some extra money! The dwarves are happy to buy 155 pigs from us, our caravan has netted us 63 gold and will keep netting us more gold every year! Our treasure is up to 241 gold.

Our army catches sight of about twenty goblins trying to sneak into our territory to steal cattle! Our swordsmen and horsemen go after them and make them flee for their lives! Our horsemen manage to kill two goblins and wound three others before they flee.

Some travellers who came recently from the west tell tales about a small band of jackalweres stealing from lone travellers in a small oasis in the desert.

It's the year 802 and it's Summer.

We decide to hire an experienced adventurer to pretend being a normal traveller and surprise the jackalweres. Ardric the Brave takes upon himself the task for 30 gold. He travels to the small oasis wearing a cloak over his armor and sure enough he finds himself surrounded by four jackalweres. He draws his sword and kills two jackalweres on the spot, then runs after a third one and kills it. The last jackalwere manages to flee, but jackalweres are a coward bunch, a lone one won't be harassing anyone. Ardric still tries to track him but alas that was a windy day and the shifting sands of the desert made the task all but impossible. He claims his reward after recounting his tale and bringing the three heads of the slain jackalweres. Our treasury is down to 211 gold.

We decide to have our laborers continue building a stone wall around our homes.

Stone wall (4/8)

Some of out farmers report having lost several sheeps from their herds! Nobody saw the culprits but it must have been the goblins in another of their cattle raids!

We consider having our priests start researching healing magic! Channeling the divine energies to heal the wounded and the sick is an obscure art but if we don't try we'll never know if we'll be able to do it. Our priests are optimist about the research even though so far they didn't manage to channel any divine healing magic at all.

A caravan from Brine shows up in our lands! The centaurs wish to trade jungle wood for warm clothes for the winter! Our stocks of warm clothes are kinda low, if we trade them away we might not have enough for ourselves if the winter is particularly harsh. On the other hand wood could be used as firewood if the winter turns out to be really harsh.

It's the year 802 and it's Winter.

We offer the centaurs wool and a smaller amount of clothes. We ask them for less wood and some seeds. They hadn't actually milled the trees rather just felled them and dragged them around in sleds so a great deal many seeds where still preserved, they say we can have those. They thank us for our business and take their leave.

We have our labourers continue work on the stone wall around our homes.

Stone Wall (6/8)

We decide to send a group of 3 horsemen to scout east. They go through the goblin lands with great peril to themselves. They approach one of the goblin's settlement, a large amount of animal pens can be seen in the savana nearing the forests and mountains farther away in the east. Past the goblin lands in those mountains we know lie the troll lands of Golurtz. The goblins assemble a group of armed goblins to come after our horsemen so they are forced to flee. They explore a bit further through goblin territory and find a marks of heavy wagons going southeast in a trail meandering through a valley in between the mountains. They see a watchtower in the mountain with an orc on it! Once they approach the orc blows a horn and within a few minutes a group of ten orcs on horseback show up; our own horsemen flee at top speed from the orcs. They then return to report.

The winter wasn't very harsh, we barely had any snow.

We decide to built a tree planter's cottage, buying and crafting all the vases and fertilizers needed for large scale tree planting.

Treeplanter's cottage -> Planting trees

Our research on the arcane arts is going slowly. Some of our scholars can perform simple cantrips with much preparation, we're still far from being able to use magic to scry far off lands.

We have our priests perform a sacrifice to Kaphine in order to gleam some wisdom about the orcish situation. One of our priests have a vision of several warships filled with orcs landing in some beaches. He takes that as an omen of sorts.

The goblins send another group to steal cattle from us! This time our patrols catch them before they can run away with our cows and the goblins are forced to leave our cattle behind and run for their lives. Our horsemen still manage to kill two goblins.

We have a plentiful harvest this season.

We decide to research fishing boats. We'd need a lumber mill to work the raw wood into usable shapes and a shipwright to actually assemble the boats, but it's all doable, our carpenters are confident that we can do it anytime.

We perform a sacrifice to Kaphine! We unveil the ritual The Good Stuff that gives a bonus against unrest. We could build a temple to Kaphine, or switch the shrine to perform this ritual instead of the Prophetic Dreams one.

We decide to send an emissary to the dwarves at Khela to improve relations with them and ask what they need or want. They are in need of salt to preserve the cave meat that they hunt in the lower levels of the caverns they inhabit and they could use some glassware. The dwarves themselves produce large amounts of metal and stone trade goods that they could trade for our commodities, or they could buy from us paying money (silver and/or gold).

We decide to start researching cheesemaking to store milk into an edible form for a longer period of time. Our cooks manage to craft some generic gouda, and start experimenting to see what other kinds of cheese they can make.

The elvish heroine Findelye the Bright, a reasonably accomplished spellcaster, offer her services as an adventurer and magic tutor to our town for 60 gold/year.

>Send caravan to Asminster

>Business Meeting
We really need to get some trade monies rolling in next year. And some boats to facilitate said trade.
>South: Dwarves of Khela
We know the dwarves need glassware and salt, we can make glass easy and probably trade for salt easier than wasting actions and money building infrastructure for it.
>West: Centaurs of Brine
We know the centaurs need wool clothes, we have plenty of sheep, all we need is to amp up our looms.
>North/Downriver: Halflings of Asminster
Once we contact the halflings we can tailor trades for them. Also since they're at the mouth of the river, they'll have access to sea routes and distant lands, so there's a lot of potential trade opportunities. Hence boats.
>Security
We don't need to get too focused on military yet and neglect our economy, all we've experienced is minor poaching. So in place of an expensive watchtower and stockade, how about we hire an extra company of cavalry and assign them to guard the flocks and patrol their fields? We do need intel on what they're planning however and can probably assume that gobs, orcs and trolls are allies. But since we can't into scrying yet, how about hiring a cheap spy at the tavern?
We also saw that vision of orcs in ships, so having our own boats to counter before they sail up to our doorstep would be another way to utilize our harbor.
>Diversifying
We also have the ability to get money by building entertainment venues. Should we look into things like casinoes and brothels? Perhaps even building them in the cities we trade with for additional passive income.

It's the year 804 and it's Spring.

We decide to hire Findelye the bright for 60 gp/year. She says she can stay with us for a few years before she leaves back to the elvish lands in the northeast. She's native from the elvish city of Lothlione in the northeast. Besides teaching our scholars she also teaches whoever wants to learn the basics of magic for a fee. Her classes are very crowded, she has at least twenty apprentices. Amongst our scholars the cantrip fire bolt is becoming highly popular.

With the aid of the new teacher our scholars master arcane theory and start learning to cast spells! They learn a number of cantrips and start researching real magic spells. Magic is a long and arduous path though so it might still take several years before we get to the point where we'll have wizards capable of the feats usually atributed to them, like fireballs and scrying.

We ask Findelye to use her magic to get us information on the orcs and goblins. Although she's not capable of scrying she is capable of casting an invisibility spell! The spell only lasts about an hour though so she takes one of our horses and go investigate the orcs herself, confident that she can use the speed of our steed and her invisibility spell to get out of any tight spot. She discovers that the orcs are building a port city in the southeast past a mountain pass. From the looks of it there must be at least two thousand orcs living in that city. They seem to be ready to battle, with a network of watchtowers and horsemen patrolling their territory. Findelye is almost caught by the orcs a couple times but her invisibility spell lets her get off the hook. She returns unscathed to report her findings.

We try to find any nearby sources of salt but we're unable to find any in the desert around us.

We decide to send a caravan to the centaur lands in Brine offering to sell them some sheep and iron. They gladly buy some of our herds and iron and we make a profit of 247 gold! Our treasury is up to 316 gold.

Our caravan to the dwarven lands sells them some more pigs and nets us 98 gold. Our treasury is up to 414 gold.

Findelye chooses to go gather herbs in the forests in the northeast near the territory of the Lothlione elves, a territory that she knows well. They manage to fill several bags with the herbs and travel back with no incidents. The priests say that those herbs will help with their research and they'll probably have some results next year.

Lord Trit Atatau decides to raise the tax rate to 20%! There are protests and unrest greatly increases amongst the townsfolk. Our advisors tell us to hire at least 30 more townguards to patrol the streets protect the nobles and keep the population pacified. Should we hire more townguards?

We have our artisans start researching how to craft crossbows. Which variety of crossbow should we focus on?

We decide to send an exploration party towards the west composed of Findelye and three horsemen. We travel through the savannas that are home to the centaur tribes finding large herds of antilopes and zebra drinking on the watering holes. We find a ruined tower guarded by a sphinx. Traveling further west we find a large thick jungle, filled with snakes, spiders, monkeys and birds amongst many other critters. Our explorers return to report on what they have learned on their travels.

either light or hand idk which one is the best for horse archer, i will wait for more opinion

>>2307285
We really need to go north and establish trade with Asminster.
Also building casinoes/brothels would be a nicer way to get money than raising taxes.

What do we need to do to establish regular caravans and get passive income/resources from it?
Spending actions every time we want to trade seems wasteful unless you intend to gear the game more towards a combat-focused wargamer approach. Cause if we are going for a mercantile empire then the answer is "All the time".

It's the year 805 and it's Spring.

Our trade caravan with Khela sell some more of our pigs and make a profit of 60 gold.

Our tax collectors go around collecting the taxes for the year. After paying our military we make a profit of 488 gold. Our treasury increases to 791 gold coins.

We have our artisans research how to craft light crossbows. An unit of light crossbow should cost about 25 gold pieces.

We build a second wool loom to make the work of processing all the wool into cloth faster. Our treasury is down to 691 gold coins.

We send Findelye with 3 horsemen and a dozen swordsmen to travel to the sphinx tower. Once our troops approach the tower the sphinx gets up and ask them a riddle, but none of them knows the answer the riddle, so the sphinx attacks them. The sphinx mauls to death our three horsemen and 8 swordsmen before being obliterated by Findelye's spells and the blows of the remaining 4 swordsmen. Upon exploring the tower Findelye finds 150 gold coins stashed in a small chest, bringing our treasury to 841 gold, and upon casting detect magic she finds a magical ring amongst the rubble. Once back in town our scholars determine that the ring is a powerful ring of protection, devised to greatly improve survivability of the wearer in combat. It should fetch us at least 750 gold coins if we were to sell it. Should we have Findelye wear the ring?

We decide to have Findelye wear the ring of protection that we found in the ruined tower.

We send Findelye with three horsemen and two dozen swordsmen to the gargoyle infested ruined tower in the northeast that we had previously found. Once we arrive there and start approaching the tower sixteen statues turn into gargoyles and fly towards our troops attacking mercilessly. Our soldiers fight bravely and even manage to kill off six of the gargoyles but are ultimately defeated. Findelye has to cast an invisibility spell to flee the battlefield, abandoning the corpses of the fallen soldiers behind.

The goblins make a large cattle raid this summer! They manage to run off with dozens of heads of cattle and even some of our horses!

We decide to take a census. We currently have a population of 5604, 335 horses, 2642 cows, 3780 sheep and 4984 pigs. Our standing army consists of 70 Town Guards, 18 Swordsmen and 1 Adventurer.

It's the year 805 and it's Autumn.

We have a plentiful harvest.

We decide to build a watchtower to help us spot the damn goblins when they come raid us for our cattle. It stands tall above our fields as a vantage point to see farther and warn us about incoming enemies.

We consider researching spears but we already know how to manufacture and use spears - our town guards use spears, clubs and shields to protect the town and manage any trouble we might have. We could however use pikes, long polearm war weapons particularly effective against cavalry, and train pikemen to use them.

We have our artisans craft 10 crossbows and leave them with the town guards in the watchtower and our walls. Our treasury is down to 591 gold coins.

The centaurs show up again proposing a trade agreement to exchange Cloth for Wood. Do we accept it?

Our resident military company was hired by halflings in the northwest to attack a lizardsmen tribe in the west! They depart our town and go fulfill their contract.

We accept the centaurs deal to trade wood for cloth, every autumn they'll bring us wood and will come pick some cloth for the winter.

We consider having our artisans craft chainmail for our troops. Each chainmail will costs us 30 gp.

We start researching glassware. If we build a glassblower workshop we should be able to craft a large amount of glassware to fulfill our internal needs and for sale. Specialized equipment for our scholars could also be crafted once we have a workshop going on.

We send an emissary north to see how the halflings are faring in their war and see if they are needing anything we could trade them. The halflings at Asminster say they are not at war, their fellow halflings from Heabury are the ones at war with the lizardmen. The halflings would be willing to buy finely crafted food like specialty cheeses, wood for building ships, and iron , and they have salt, wine, vinegar, salted fish, pearls, seashell trade goods and fish oil to sell.

Talking about specialty cheese some of our cheesemakers figure out how to make blue cheese, we could make a cheesery to mass produce it, we would need some vinegar to prepare the curd, and keep researching how to make other types of cheese.

We decide to have Findelye focus on teaching one apprentice combat magic.

Findelye plans on leaving back to the elvish lands in a few years, she hopes that at least a few of her apprentices will have the basics down enough to cast at least magic missiles before that, but she can't guarantee it. Findelye says that this teaching position is too draining and requests a raise to 100gp/year. She also requests scrolls, grimoires and magical components worth 300 gp in order to keep teaching our apprentices.

We decide to send a trading caravan to Khela to trade glassware. The dwarves buy plenty of our glassware and comission a spyglass! Our glassblowers are only so happy to oblige. It takes all their wit and skill to craft such a high precision item but after several failed attempts they manage to make one precise enough to fulfill the dwarvish requirements. We make a wooping 934 gp profit on this business venture. Our treasury increases to 2182 gold pieces.

Our priests have finally figured out how to channel the divine energies to cast healing spells! They should be able to heal wounded combatents in and out of combat situations. We can hire priests to go on missions for 40 gp/year each (or 10 gp for an individual mission lasting up to one season). While in town they provide their healing services for nominal fees in the form of donations for their respective churches. We only have a very limited number of priests available so we ought to be careful with them out there.

It's the year 806 and it's Winter.

We decide to build a palisade large enough to encompass most of our fields

Palisade (1/8)

We also build a lumber mill to work the trees we've been planting and getting from the centaurs into usable shapes.

Lumber Mill -> Wood

We send a trading caravan to Asminster to trade cheese for vinegar and salt with the halflings. They greatly enjoy the fine taste of our blue cheese and gladly trade some vinegar and salt with us.

We forgot to name our settlement, should we call it Sharz Avanzer like was suggested or some other name?

The mercenaries from the Irontip Brigade return from the lands on the northwest. They report having won most of the skirmishes against the lizardmen population and greatly reduced their numbers, but the thick jungle made it very difficult for them to pursue their foes once they decided to stop fighting and start fleeing. The mercenary company buys lots of horses, hires more personnel and it's soldiers spend a great deal of money in the taverns and markets, movimenting the economy and generating extra tax revenue. After paying their licence for functioning as a free army and all the legal fees we end up earning an extra 453 gp. Our treasury increases to 1361 gp.

A group of minotaurs recently settled in the lands northwest of us between Asminster and Heabury! Travellers say that they came in trirremes from the far east and settled by a river in the plains past the savana and the desert. They call their settlement Petun.

After paying our army we earn 890 gold from taxes. Our treasury increases to 2310 gold pieces.

We have our labourers continue working on our palisade

Palisade (2/8)

We send 4 horsement to investigate the reported minotaurs at Petun. As our horsemen approach their settlement they hail us. They say that they travelled from the eastern continent coming to settle this new continent but they have a small problem - they are a little short on women. There are about 400 minotaurs in their settlement, but less than 50 women. They ask if we can't spare some of our women for them to start their settlement, they'd be eternally grateful if we allowed them to marry some of our women.

We decide to have our labourers continue working on the palisade around our fields.

Palisade (3/8)

We send a caravan to Khela to trade some glassware. There's not as much enthusiasm as the first time we sent the caravan as many dwarves already bought themselves some glassware but we still make a solid amount of sales and earn 77 gold pieces. Our treasury is up to 2387 gp.

Dozens of our women are wooed by the minotaurs and decide to marry them! They leave to go live with the minotaurs at Petun. The minotaur leader, a massive warrior called Gouk, say that they consider us as their friends and if we need help in the future they can count on them.

The goblins steal some of our sheep! They flee with them before we can catch them.

Our first apprentice, a young man named Erard, manage to cast magic missile spell! Findelye is very proud of him and believe he amongst all the apprentices has the most potential. The rest of the class should catch up in a few seasons.

We decide to hire 10 horsemen and 16 swordsmen. Our treasury goes down to 2027 gold coins. Our army is now composed of 70 Town Guards, 30 Swordsmen, 20 Horsemen and 1 Adventurer.

A large troll raid comes our way! 80 young trolls led by 10 adult troll clubsmen attack our village early in the morning when the farmers are out harvesting the fields, mauling to death everyone in their path! The trolls kill 125 villagers and wreck our watchtower. The young trolls are unarmed but are still tough foes. Their chaotic army is inneffective against our organized troops. Our army assembles to defend us! We kill 25 young trolls and the remaining trolls decide to flee for their lives!

>Also we need to sacrifice to all three gods so we can unlock more rituals.
>Selling ships might be more lucrative than simply selling wood and prevent us from having to buy ships.

Our tax collectors go about their business. They collect 1680 gold pieces, we pay the wages of our soldiers, 350 gp to our town guards, 300 gp to our swordsmen, 400 gp to our horsemen, 200 gp to our crossbowmen and 100 gp to Findelye leaving us with a surplus of 330 gp.

Our treasury is raised to 1326 gold pieces.

We decide to have our laborers continue building a palisade around our fields.

Palisade (6/8)

We send a caravan to trade cheese and glassware with the halflings in Asminster. A couple of wealthy halfling naval captains comission spyglasses and we make huge profits by selling such fancy items to them! The halflings greatly enjoy our cheese as usual and buy every last piece of it paying in silver, seems like they simply can't get enough. A halfling cook even shares with our tradesmen the secret of how to make cheddar cheese and asks us to sell them more of those in addition to the gouda and blue cheese we're already selling. We make a whooping 2378 gp profit in silver with our caravan! Seens like the halflings have found and exploit a nearby silver mine and as such have become quite wealthy. It's always good to have wealthy trade partners. Should we make our cheese and glassware caravan to Asminster into a yearly affair?

Our treasury is up to 3704 gp.

A human emissary comes up from the south! They say they have came from the west recently and founded a city called Oxwick lead by Lord George south of dwarvish territory on the shores of these lands. They say they have orc neighbours to the east and to the west and as such are worried about their safety. They are building a large wall and training many archers in order to survive any orcish incursions. The emissaries had to trek many weeks through the mountains to get in our town so it's unlikely we'll see much trade between our towns. Still, it's nice to be acquainted with our human neighbours in such a hostile land. They bid us farewell and continue on their travels.

We have our scholars star researching how to construct balistas. It's a tad more complicated than simply an oversized crossbow so it will take awhile to figure it out. Luckily we have some scrolls with diagrams on how to build balistas so we're not doing it from scratch, our research shouldn't take very long.

Our watchtower is still wrecked from the troll attack last year, should we fix it?

Surprisingly enough the goblins didn't show up at all this summer to raid our cattle. Our soldiers are left wondering what they might be up to.

It's the year 808 and it's Autumn.

The centaurs from Brine show up to trade wood for clothes.

Our harvest is decent, we should have enough food to feed our population for the year.

We have our laborers finish the palisade around our fields.

Palisade (8/8) -> Bonus to defense

We fix our watchtower on the east.

Our wizard apprentices are now able to cast magic missiles! It will still take several years until they are fully capable wizards but they already made plenty of progress!

What should we do next?
> Build basic infrastructure (lumber mill, tannery, shipwright, other?)
> Build defensive structures (stone wall, 8/16/32 seasons depending on size; palisade, 2/4/8 seasons depending on size; watchtower, 1 season; moat, 4/8/16 seasons depending on size; castle 2000 gold 40 seasons)
> Build special purpose building (scholar's guild 800 gold, shrine 100 gold, herbalist 400 gold, cheesery 200 gold, treeplanter's cottage 200 gold, loom 100 gold, glassblowing workshop 300 gold, harbor 600 gold, windmill 800 gold, temple 300 gold, parthenon 700 gold 3 turns, university 1000 gold 20 seasons, cathedral 1300 gold 20 seasons, other?)
> Send trading caravan to (Khela, Asminster, Brine, Petun, Oxwick, other?) to buy/sell (horses, cows, sheep, pig, iron, other?)
> Send exploring party (N, NE, E, S, SW, W, NW)
> Send raid party to (Suma, Golurtz, other?)
> Change tax rate (0-30%)
> Hire a group of adventurers (specify purpose)
> Hire mercenaries (100 horsearchers, 1000gp per season)
> Hire more military units (town guard 5gp/year; swordsmen 10gp/year; archer 10gp/year; crossbowmen 25 gp to hire, 10gp/year; horsemen 20 gp/year; pikemen, 10gp/year; priests, 40gp/year)
> Research (crossbows, arcane theory, healing magic, fishing boats, glassware, cheesemaking, other?)
> Craft (light crossbow 25gp each, chainmail 30gp each, other?)
> Take a census
> other?

Currently our troops have padded leather armor. We can craft chain mail for our troops at a cost of 30 gp each. We could also craft plate mails for our troops at a cost of 200 gp each.

> Build watchtower
> Continue researching ballista

+this
if we could also take census that would be mighty swell though

Let's ask for it later

It's the year 808 and it's Winter.

We decide to build another watchtower closed to the edge of our palisade to see when enemies are approaching.

We decide to pressure our scholars about the balista research. After fumbling with their scrolls they find one detailing the construction process of a balista. They say that if we could spend 300 gold building a siege engine workshop the construction of balistas would be much simpler to streamline. The main obstacle to the construction of balistas is the prohibitive cost of a thing that big that forces us to plan very carefully every step of the construction of these siege engines.
