...Uh, even our brother the untrained idiot was going on about how we don't have much gold to actually do so with right now. So no the problem is not really solved by slapping our face on coinage we're already producing anyways I might note as that action is meant to increase our legitimacy, not our revenue.

That's why I said metal. I'm sure it'll be just fine to use iron. Itll represent our spine and our swords or something

No one would accept that money since you wouldn't be able to buy anything with it as the current monetary system of the old world is barter-based or gold-backed currency depending on where you are.

Edit: Secure the villages, and blackfire are the only things I really, really care about.

I dunno, we can just solve it by ensuring our taxmen are all ogres insisting on our iron currency being used by all.
 
[X] Plan Stamping our authority
-[X] Centralize the Law code under your purview
-[X] Starving out the keep
-[X] Attempt to attract dwarven miners

Revising my earlier plan. Centralize law code because it's much more useful for trade and travel

That still doesn't work because you've completely screwed your entire economy's ability to interact with the outside world if you transfer over to another currency like this that no one would actually recognize. To fix this we'd need to create a currency exchange, and at that point, you just loop back around to having created a gold-backed currency pretty much so nothing has actually changed except you've complicated business in your realm, and are now paying extra for your tax collectors.

Edit: Look I can see that you're trying to print money here I understand that but fundamentally this only really works for a fiat currency as quantitative easing isn't something you can do with a gold-backed currency, and we can't swap to a fiat currency until we're much more powerful and control the most gold out of any single faction on the planet that's what it took to make the switch IRL after all.

[X] Plan Dorfs

Seems reasonable. Take the limited-time action, learn more about what's right around us, and then build up expertise for later.
 
[X] Plan Pass me the Census and Survey
-[x] A census of Akendorf
-[x] Survey the villages of Schulman's former realm
-[x] Blackfire Pass expedition


- this plan is to know who to tax and where we can tax, it shows any usable resources and how useful our population are. The expedition is only for this turn and i want us to make a mark there plus dwarfs have long memories. If we done good in the Pass, the dwarfs will be inclined to help us out in the future.

Let's go straight from medieval economics to the Nixon shock. Surely it will work

It'd give the Dwarfs a heart attack, and then we could steal their gold which would make us the single biggest gold reserve on the planet allowing us to swap over to fiat currency so that we can pull off a Nixon shock. This plan is genius! I can not possibly see how it could ever go wrong.
