A Reforged World (NO SV, You are King of Italy, in a Greatly Changed World)

Reader mode
Getting money is always a good thing...except now when the Reformation is underway. Economics is always a long term thing and the threat of future instability is now

I suggest getting the army up and running. That, or fixing the stuff with the serfs.

Counterpoint, how are we to pay the army or solve serfdom without knowing what they need, if not through economics?

Magoose already mentioned that we have enough cash for one reform. That means we have enough to pay the army. Once security is assured, the money making can come next
 
[X] Plan Prepare For War
-[X] The Italian Northern Defenses Act: Fortifications in the North are seen to be outdated against the now Modern type of Siege warfare through cannons. The Prime Minister, Randio Travioli, recommends the official positioning of Border Security through revitalisation of the Fortifications in addition to new Forts developed at Strategic positioning with upgrades (such as the addition of Cannons to the forts) and changes to previous designs to make the Fortress less likely to break down against Cannon fire.
-[X]The Gunmakers of Italy: Besides yourself, and Beretta, there are other arms manufacturers that are trying to win contracts for the Italian Army. And you want to see what they are, and what they can give. DC: 40 Reward: You learn of Italy's growing Arms industry.
-[X]A Central Italian Bank: The Banking Class of Italy wants a Central Bank, not a decentralized system that currently works in Italy… where Florence, Milan, and Naples dominate. DC: ??? Reward: You see what is the fuss about a central bank.
-[X]The Calls for Protection: You are hearing calls from the many bankers and Companies that wish for protectionist Tariffs on all Exports… A strange thing, but you will see if you can answer them. DC: ??? Reward: You see what those Tariffs can do, and see if they are stupid or not.
-[X]The Eagle: Ezio has returned and is back to the problem at hand. Trying to serve as a friend to a king. DC: 40 Reward: You meet Ezio again. (Autopasses this turn)
-[X]Child… and Children and So Much more: You are… surprised how quick and easy the birth was. DC: 0 Reward: You see your child.
-[X]Simple Moments Alone: Isabella cuddled up against you as you both took a moment to sit and watch the sun. "So… what now?" You asked. DC: ??? Reward: You and Isabella talk.
-[X]To Design a Better Gun (Reload Speed): You have an idea to make the Design better, and now all you need to do is put it to paper and try it out. DC: ??? Reward: You make the gun better.

-[X] Foreign Diplomatic Adventures
--[X] Attempt to convince the pope to accompany Luciano on a trip to england to attempt to convert it's people back to Catholicism. When in negotiations with the Tudors, stress them of a need for a united alliance against Protestant France and of the many benefits of continued English friendship with Italy under the Catholic Church.
-[X]The Eagle: Ezio has returned and is back to the problem at hand. Trying to serve as a friend to a king. DC: 40 Reward: You meet Ezio again. (Autopasses this turn)
-[X]Child… and Children and So Much more: You are… surprised how quick and easy the birth was. DC: 0 Reward: You see your child.
-[X]The Keys of State Craft: Your master wants you to learn the fine arts of making friends and allies. Even if it means you abhor them. DC: 40 Reward: You learn the fine arts of diplomacy.
-[X]To Design a Better Gun (Cannons): Your field battery is not the best, you know it, your navy knows it, and your army knows it.

Since we had that whole spat with Charles over slavery, it makes sense that Luciano would practice what he preaches and pursue the start of serfdom manumission. Check the gunmakers of Italy so we can prep for war. Check out the tariffs before it becomes a mess. Create a central Italian bank as well as preventing any feuds from the old banking families.

Meet with Ezio and see what he's up to. See our child, although from the wording we probably have multiples and witness the true birth of the Graziani dynasty. Some nice fluff with Isabella to build the family and coordinate as the New Catholic Monarchs. Design better artillery to provide a proper vessel for our shells.

-[X]Rebuilding Rome (The Aquaducts): Rome's main waterways from ancient times were the Aquaducts. While much of the city's water comes from the Tiber, you want to see if you can recreate the city's water supply. DC: 40 Reward: You begin a reconstruction of Romes's Ancient Aquaducts to feed the cities. (Costs 3 Turns)

Took off that one, due to me pulling a forget.
 
One thing which we should probably check, is well. Look into tech projects to make producing our insane tech less ruinously expensive. Cause even with the rise of the steam engine, the tech may not be there yet to truly leverage it to make our other decades ahead tech.

--[X] Steampowered Transport Carriages and Tracks: The Creation of the Steam Engine brings forth a great potential towards the potential of the future. The possibilities of a wagonless transportation device is what interests you. You spend time producing a Horseless Steampowered Form of transportation that can carry materials and people to different places..of course with its tracks.

So, getting our borders secure against cannon based warfare is the highest priority since land invasion by some hostile force is highly probable.

With all the money flowing into italy right now we need a central bank and the army is shaping up nicely since our last turn, as is rome. They can wait a turn while we try and keep england Catholic and invest in ending the disaster in naples.

R need trains for loggistics, diplomacy as things are about to get very political, and obviously have to spend time with the kiddies. Isabella got 3 turns of attention in a row. We can take a break and come back to her next turn.

[]Invest in the Future: You want to invest in your country, and there are a few ways you can do that (Write in what you want to invest in) DC: ??? Reward: You invest in the nation (Linetail what you want to invest in below this action as a line tail)
-[] The Royal Toolings Company: First Minister Octavian proposes the creation of a new building dedicated towards creating tools to increase the supply of construction and production materials into the market in more numbers than before.This Company would also be accounted as a Crown Corporation with its leadership being a position chosen by His Majesty the King under further notice.

[]Innovate or Die: You are the greatest engineer alive. Perhaps you can come up with something. DC:??? Reward: You invent something (Must line tail what you wish to invent below this action, can be taken multiple times)
-[] Interchangeable Parts: The Creation of the Steam Engine brings forth a great potential towards the potential of the future. It is clear from the mounting costs that a new cost-effective invention should be done in order to make production of machinery and other products cheaper. Thus one night, you decided to invest your time trying to find a way to make a standardised set of parts that can be used in many innovations.

[]Innovate or Die: You are the greatest engineer alive. Perhaps you can come up with something. DC:??? Reward: You invent something (Must line tail what you wish to invent below this action, can be taken multiple times)
-[] Standardised Tools: The Creation of the Steam Engine brings forth a great potential towards the potential of the future. The rising costs of projects makes you think a step back as to handle the situation. After throwing a curse at another of your broken hammers, you decide to create an innovation towards a basic standardised set of Tools, with Italian Steel, to also speed up production/construction.

[]Innovate or Die: You are the greatest engineer alive. Perhaps you can come up with something. DC:??? Reward: You invent something (Must line tail what you wish to invent below this action, can be taken multiple times)
-[] Fasteners, Nuts, and Bolts: The Creation of the Steam Engine brings forth a great potential towards the potential of the future. There needs to be a much faster and stronger way of getting parts together, thus as you experiment one afternoon with different materials and tools, an inspiration hits you.

Bread riots and protests. There is nothing more to be said. The city is hungry, and the citizens have taken up arms. Many of the government officials have fled to the city, and there are many things… that will need to be done.

While it is simmering, and chaos is not bubbling to the surface… it can burn.

A reminder that naples is experiencing a food shortage. My plan addresses this by investing in feeding them and restoring order.

Last turn we succeeded at diplomacy and got England to become more closely aligned with us, to the point it became possible to enter into a military alliance. It would be frustrating to have that fall apart because we ended up on opposite sides of a religious conflict. Best to use some foreign diplomacy to try and fix the situation early. England barely became protestant, getting them back to catholic won't be difficult if we can get the pope to work with us.

With the army based in Milan, having trains to allow them to quickly reinforce and supply the borders of italy is critical.
