Luria Nova/Events/Estate-Manager/Raw Material Shortage Threatens Manufacturing
Your craftsmen urgently approach you with concerning news – a shortage of raw materials is looming, and it threatens to halt the production of manufactured goods within your estate. Swift action is required to ensure the workshops continue to function and meet the demands of your populace.
As the news of the impending crisis spreads, several merchants present themselves with various offers to address the raw material shortage. Each proposal carries its own set of advantages and drawbacks, and it falls upon you to make a crucial decision for the future of your manufacturing sector.
The D'Haran Merchant offers a straightforward solution. They propose taking control of half of your manufacturing sector, with the promise of doubling your raw material production. While this could provide a significant influx of raw materials, it would also mean relinquishing partial control of your estate's manufacturing.
The Fellish Merchant offers to supply all the raw materials you need, effectively becoming your sole source. However, this deal comes with a condition – exclusivity in trade. You would have to rely solely on the Fellish Merchant for your raw materials, potentially limiting your future trade options.
Rojak's Merchant offers to supply you with raw materials at favorable terms in exchange for a beneficial deal on your manufactured goods. This partnership could be mutually beneficial, but it would require maintaining a delicate trade balance.
Lexis' Merchant presents an unconventional proposal. They request the construction of a temple dedicated to Lux Nova within your estate in exchange for the necessary raw materials. While this option could strengthen your ties to the Lux Nova faith and secure raw materials, it requires a significant investment in religious infrastructure.
Your decision will determine the path your estate takes in resolving the raw material shortage. Choose wisely, as it will not only impact your manufacturing sector but also influence the dynamics of trade and alliances within your realm.
Outcome: Balanced Trade with Rojak's Merchant
You opt to strike a balanced trade deal with the merchant from Rojak's estate, exchanging an equal weight of your manufactured goods for raw materials. While this arrangement doesn't directly increase your coin reserves, it effectively mitigates the looming raw material shortage.
This decision proves to be a wise one. The craftsmen are relieved that their work won't be interrupted, ensuring a steady production of manufactured goods. Simultaneously, the merchants are delighted to have gained new trading partners in Rojak's estate, expanding their reach and opportunities for profit.
Your estate's economy stabilizes as the trade with Rojak's merchant flourishes. This balanced approach helps maintain both your manufacturing sector and trade relationships, fostering prosperity within your realm.
