[] Plan: And Brynduraz Will Answer
-[]Send aid to them:
-[]Send supplies to the Dawi of Ubersreik:
And for those who were convinced by my approach to focus economic actions. In this case a focus on agriculture to support sending supplies to humans and Umgadawi in Ubersreik and synergize with making diplomatic contact with Karak Hirn.
Karak Hirn is so ravenous, they'll import food from Averland, and also grain all the way from Tilean traders who have it shipped in through Barak Varr. And I think that's the case for many Karaks.
The greatest Karak of the Black Mountains. Karak Hirn has historically been reliant on the Empire for food imports, paying with steel and weapons. They have recently founded a new hold named Khazid Grentaz to try and alleviate this problem. But even this new hold has found more interest in lumber and its own mines than working fields.
Coming over and saying we can immediately solve their age old problem with superior and traditional Dawi crops would go a long way towards making a good impression; therefore the plan below.
[] Dawi supply depot
-[] Bill and mattock infantry:
-[] Make diplomatic contact with Karak Hirn and Khazid Grentaz:
-[] Dockyard and barges:
-[] Exporting excess grain:
-[] Black Soil Fertilizer production:
-[] Get to know the province:
-[] Seed drills and plows: (200 Gorls)
-[] Ironbeard's treeman obliterating steamsaw: (200 Gorls)
I'm willing to compromise on some actions like taking out the steamsaw if people think this is too much investment.
Other options are:
[] Caravan protection services:
Your clan has experience in hiring out its rangers as mercenaries and caravan guards. Send out Rangers to the local humans and figure out which if any traders are active in the area, and might be interested in hiring your clan as guards.
Will provide 1d50 Gorls per turn at the start of the service.
Provides an opportunity for young Dawi to learn ranging and axework.
You begin developing protection services.
Instead of the Bill and Mattock infantry to focus more on Rangers, since those takes longer to train so starting early makes sense.
And:
[] Brightstone Caravans and Transportation services:
Some of your Dawi are starting to get itchy feet from staying in the same place for so long. One has asked to be allowed to take his family and their wagons and begin to travel through the Empire as a caravan. He asks for a not insubstantial payment to set up a caravan company.
Will provide 2d50 Gorls per year.
Having a caravan moving through the empire will attract traders to its origin, and provide useful intelligence. Being landbound, this Caravan will provide rumours and information from the Grey Mountains, Vaults, Black Mountains, and Tilea.
Instead of the Dockyard and Barge to focus more on trading with fellow Dwarves and double down on the trading with Karak Hirn option (Black Mountains).
These two options might also better support this: [] Get to know the province:
I'm fine with either really.
