Opening

The grand banquet hall of the mansion is filled with anticipation as stewards and lords gather, awaiting the arrival of their liege. A hushed murmur sweeps through the room as the liege enters, offering gratitude to the lords and acknowledgment to the stewards. The liege's voice resonates through the hall as an announcement is made - a test of administrative prowess and leadership.

As you assess your competition, you recognize some of the lords, renowned for their battlefield exploits. Their swords may have sung in valor, but you wonder about their aptitude for management.

Town Estate

With a confident resolve, you choose to steward over a town estate. The urban landscape, bustling with activity and commerce, contrasts sharply with the opulent banquet hall. Cobblestone streets, market stalls, and the harmonious hum of townsfolk fill your senses as you embark on your journey. The town's prosperity and the expectations of its residents await your careful guidance and leadership.

Avaricious

Upon your arrival at the bustling town estate, you promptly arrange a crucial meeting with the local merchants. During this extensive discourse, you establish a clear understanding with them, emphasizing your unquenchable thirst for wealth and influence.

In this frank discussion, a mutually beneficial rule emerges: As long as the merchants diligently fill your coffer with treasures and riches, you pledge not to meddle excessively in their affairs. Of course, they must remain cautious and adhere to their role as merchants, avoiding any missteps that could provoke the ire of the nobility. Yet, as long as they maintain this delicate balance, you promise not to disrupt their prosperity.

With this accord in place, the merchants eagerly reach for their pockets, presenting you with precious gems and glistening coins as a gesture of goodwill. The meeting concludes with all participants departing with smiles of contentment, a testament to the power of your shrewd financial stewardship.

Year 1

📝Trained Many Vigilantes

In your inaugural year, you opt to train a significant number of vigilantes to bolster the security of your estate. This decision attracts a substantial number of young peasants eager to take on the role, but it comes at the cost of reducing the workforce available for manufacturing tasks.

📝Accepted the Fellish Merchant Guild's Offer

You entered into a mutually beneficial agreement with the Fellish Merchant Guild, bestowing upon them exclusive rights to purchase your manufactured goods. In exchange, they became a steadfast and dependable source of raw materials. This accord garnered favor among craftsmen, but it stirred dissatisfaction among local merchants and gradually led to a reduction in trade volume over time.

📝Allowed the Fellish Merchant Guild's Dominance(Game Over)*

You allowed the Fellish Merchant Guild to expand unchecked, earning their gratitude with two chests of coins. However, the guild's rapid dominance over all estate businesses has left you with little control, resulting in discontent among peasants and minor nobles. Your actions have caught the attention of your liege, jeopardizing your standing as estate manager.

📝Prevented the Fellish Merchant Guild's Dominance

You issue a warning to the Fellish Merchant Guild, prompting them to temporarily scale back expansion plans. Your firm stance earns respect and strengthens your leadership among the estate's populace, fostering satisfaction and a sense of balance for now.

📝💱Established a Trade Route(With Lexis) and Accepted Lux Nova

Establishing the trade route with Lexis has increased trade volume, but both estates focus on manufacturing, limiting immediate benefits. Diversification is needed for meaningful trade.

Embracing Lux Nova pleased minor nobles, but the Fellish Merchant Guild, followers of the old faith, is unhappy and may bring their priest, risking religious tensions.

Year 2

📝Increased Crop Production and Hired Mercenaries

In your second year, you make the strategic choice to boost crop production and allocate gold to hire mercenaries.

🔰🧱Monster Invasion: Hired Mercenaries and Fortified the Walls

In preparation for the impending monster invasion, you make prudent decisions. You allocate 1 gold coin to hire mercenaries, bolstering your estate's defenses, and enlist your capable peasants to fortify the walls. Your liege recognizes and appreciates your earnest response. As the invasion nears, your wisdom in fortifying the estate becomes evident. Despite the uncertainty of the future, your commitment to defense remains unwavering, though your fields are likely to suffer from the monster onslaught.
