Turn 8:
Your actions have brought much needed time as the Xelmian invasion was delayed once again. In addition, you never seen your coffers so full right now thanks to the actions of your raiding and sabotaging groups. They really earned their salaries, and their mead as you noticed quite a few of them getting drunk in the local tavern. However, you can't afford to slack now. The Xelmian invasion will come and if anything, they will be pretty angry with you now. While the local garrison and your Foundation are definitely much stronger than before, surviving the Xelmian wrath will be difficult and you will need to prepare. More troops will need to be recruited and trained. More research will need to be done. Information and resources will need to be gathered. And enemy plots will need to be foiled at every turn, maybe with a bit more flair. Fortunately, you have more resources at your disposal than ever before, which could help turn things around.
