Hyrule: Total War Apocalypse

[san]

'Goddesses DAMN Ganondorf, Zant too for that matter!' Link thought as he massaged his leg trying to banish the pain of his old wounds.

After his fight against Ganondorf ended with failure he was forced to flee the castle with Zelda to avoid the wrath of the goddesses. However the two of them split up in the castle town to gather as many citizens as possible to flee with them and ensure their survival. During this the goddesses started to display their wrath and the two of them ended up being forced to flee in different directions with Zelda taking most of the refugees with her.

'If only that idiotic puppet Zant wasn't able to wound me as he did, I would have been able to beat Ganondorf and none of this would have happened.' Link continued his train of thought as he finished massaging his leg and went back to working on all the paperwork he had piled up around him.

After getting out of castle town Link led the survivors with him south towards Ordona Province though they stopped off along the way at a small town in the Hyrule Fields called Malonville. There they were able to reprovision and gather many more refugees as the Wrath of the goddesses continued to chase after them and refurbish the landscape behind them.

'uggg, to be doing anything other than this blasted paperwork I am stuck with now that I am forced into a leadership position.' Link thought as he signed off on another document approving the allocation of more resources to aid the refugees.

After getting out of the Malonville Link was able to lead them to Ordona in time, which thankfully was spared from the goddesses punishment. After arriving Link found himself forced into a leadership position as he swiftly realized none of the Hylians he led here would ever respect the leadership of the likes of Mayor Bo, Russell, or any of the 'lords' of the province. After all to the Hylians this province was a province of peasants and farmers and therefore had no right leading true Hylians in any way. Only Link was respected by them because of his heroism and his own Hylian heritage despite being born and raised in Ordona.

'Damn the stubbornness of the Hylian lords and merchants too for refusing to acknowledge the leadership capabilities of Mayor Bo and the others. I am the LEAST qualified person for this position, I should be training the militia or an army, not sitting here doing paperwork!' Link thought as he looked out the window seeing the ongoing activities of the farming town and the tent city that sprung up beside it.

After it was made clear that the Hylians would only respect Link Mayor Bo also decided this was the perfect chance to retire and put Link in charge of the province with his daughter Ilia leading the native Ordonian's with some advice and aid from him. Shortly thereafter Link was forced into his new position as the Lord of Ordona Province by the will of the people. After coming into power despite all his protests he swiftly proved an able leader organizing the construction of a tent city for the Hylians and ensured they had enough food and other resources.

'Nothing for it now, all I can do is ensure this province services one way or the other. Which that alone is going to be a task to do given the nearby presence of the Moblin lands to the southwest and our complete lack of a military.' Link continued thinking in resignation as he knew there was no way out of his position and that he now had to fix up the province and keep everyone safe. 'The question is, where the hell do I begin?'

Current Imperial Authority: 4


Current Treasury/Resources:
Between Malo's generous donation, Links own massive purse, and what rupees Ordona already had, you have enough rupees to last you awhile.

Rupees: 3000 in bank, +500 from taxes, +100 from trade, +100 upkeep from refugee camps.

Food was never a problem in Ordona, after all it was the breadbasket of Hyrule and now with you seperated from it and not needing to feed them the fight might actually end up rotting in a few years.
Food: natural food level 6, Food level with refugees 5.

Stone was never heavily used in Ordona province thanks to wood being so plentiful and the lack of a large town or city in it that would need proper defences. However with you starting to build a capital you may want to secure a source.
Stone: 200 in stockpiles, +0 income.

Wood has always been the go to building material for Ordonians. However they have rarely bothered to make a proper lumber camp and rely more on gather it on demand. Perhaps it is time to change this given all the building you will need to do soon.
Wood: 600 in stockpiles, +100 income.

Metal has never been something Ordonians have had in abundance. They certainly have never had a mine in the province either. With the lack of a supply from Eldin province and the need to outfit your own army to defend yourselves, you had best change that soon.
Metal: 100 in stockpiles, +0 income.

As the year came to a close Link looked over all the reports of what happened and gazed out his window at all the progress Ordonna made in the first year of the post-apocalyptic counter. He could feel nothing but happiness in how swift his fledgeling kingdom was in making progress and how lucky they have been.

Turn 1, Year 0 actions:

Martial:
-[X] Census on how many militia you have --[X] Rusl
Roll: 39 Medium success.
The census on the militia conducted by Rusl had some surprising results... the numbers of people actively signed up for militia before conducting the Census showed that less than 10,000 people were actively Militia at the time, when the last time the Militia were called up over a century ago there were over 30,000 people in it. It seems the century of peace lulled Ordonians signed up shortly after Rusl finished bringing the Militia numbers up to 25,000 afterwards. A bit small for your provinces size but you make do with what you can.
Reward: Knowledge on how many Militia you have, potential catastrophe averted, many people signed up to join the Militia.

Administration:
-[X] Build lumber camps
Roll: 102 CRITICAL SUCCESS!
As the people Link sent out to build the camps went into the forest to look for locations to start up a lumber camp, they found an old one at least a couple centuries, but all the tools were good shape thanks to very well done storage and the buildings were intact so they decided to utilize the camp there for themselves after repairing the buildings and swiftly got to work chopping wood ahead of schedule.
Reward: -500 rupees, +800 wood income, +500 wood to storage.

-[X] Build a proper Capital
Roll: 95 GREAT success!
The Ordonians Malo hired to build a capital were very shocked and surprised to learn why Malo was employing them... That is before they started cheering and rushed to build the Capital with all the enthusiasm they could muster. By the time the year finished not only had they built hundreds of homes, but they also managed to divert the nearby Ordon river to go through part of the capital and set up Two Fire Fighting buildings by the river, one on each end. They also built a small Keep with half the stone stockpiles for you to rule from. Though all this took them a bit more resources than normal.
Reward: -300 rupees, -500 wood, -100 stone, Capital built up to the size of a small town, also gained a prebuilt Fire brigade building and the Capitol building as well. Will finish in 2 more turns.

-[X] Survey for mines
Roll: 20 small success.
The survey team's results were more or less as expected there were few ore veins to be found within the fields of Ordona or the nearby Faron woods. Thankfully they found a decently sized copper deposit, as well as a few small surface level tin deposits nearby it. All of this was found in the Faron woods and not extremely deep in them either.
Reward: found a copper deposit and some tiny tin deposits near it.

-[X] Survey for possible Quarries
Roll: 97 GREAT success!
On the other Hand the survey team sent out to find possible Quarry locations, had spectacular results. They not only found an old location where people had dug out Granite which had plenty left and would be relatively easy to get started with. They also found a source of Marble though that location would need work to setup a quarry there.
Reward: Granite quarry found and ready to start up at no cost at all, even an authority point. Possible location for a Marble quarry found though this one will take work.

Diplomacy:
[X] Meet Ilia --[X] Bo
Roll: 116 CRITICAL SUCCESS!
While Mayor Bo was delivering the news to Link on what his meeting with Ilia entailed, the lord representative of Ordona burst through your door demanding to know why Link had yet to talk to him about what the Lords of the region desired. Thankfully Link was able to talk him down by letting him know Link had meant no offense but that Link had full trust in the lords to manage their own affairs for the year and felt they would dislike Link bothering them so early on as if Link was breathing down their necks. Appeased the Lord representative decided to tell you the Issues involving the lord faction as well and all about it. After they both left, Link was left with a headache but was happy that was over with and went so well.
Reward: small crisis averted, Information gained on all Ordonians, learned that Ordonians are split between two factions Lords/merchants and farmers/peasants. (full info showed in info sheet later.)

Intrigue:
[X] Search for an Advisor
Roll: 85 Large success!
Your search for an Intrigue advisor throughout the refugee camps goes shockingly well. Not only did you find your old matronly friend and resistance leader Telma as well as her pet cat Louise, you also found the Hylian Fanadi who used to tell you your fortune and direct you on where to go on your quests.
Reward: 3 possible Advisor candidates found, mini-turn for advisor choice soon.

YOU LUCKY PRICKS! those rolls were insane and don't expect them to be common.

but ya you got every critsuccess EXACTLY where you needed/wanted them, every great success in the places they were most useful and finally you got the lesser rolls in the actions that mattered the least overall and were most likely to have lesser results.

EDIT: will be updating kingdom status soon, either tonight or tomorrow at some point. Including a map with everything you currently know of.

Looking at the choices listed before him for his intrigue advisor Link realized this was the hardest decision he had to make so far. All three possible advisors would be INCREDIBLY useful, though they each had drawbacks compared to the other two. In the end however you could only choose one.


[] Telma: The most traditional of these three advisors, as well as a friend you made on your quests. She was the leader of the resistence and managed to lead the strong underground operation through many difficulties. She also owned a bar where she learned the practise of ferrating out secrets from drunken customers and learned how to use her feminine wiles perfectly.

Benefits: Choosing Telma grants a +18 bonus to intrigue actions she is involved in, and can do intrigue actions on her own without you spending authority.


[] Louise: Most people would laugh at you if you told them you chose a cat as an intrigue advisor. Those people can't turn into a wolf that can talk to animals, plus they don't know how smart that cat is and how good it is at what it does.

Bemefits: Coosing Louise grants you a second roll on ALL intrigue actions you take (except assasinations) with a bonus of +9 AND it gives you more info if both rolls are successful. Though the highest success possible for this secondary roll is a large success, The roll also operates at a MUCH lower chance of failure nearly gaurenteeing at least a small success. Louise can also be directed to do an intrigue action on her own as that secondary roll, though she does not provide a secondary roll to other intrigue actions while she is doing so.


[] Fanadi: Fortune teller Fanadi was the person who you went to for direction on your quests whenever you got stuck. You learned all to well that she is very good at what she does and would be extremely useful to have around to see into the future on all your intrigue actions.

Benefits: Choosing Fanadi grants you a +29 to ALL intrigue actions you take from then on. However she cannot take an action by herself forcing you to spend authority on the actions though with a much greater chance of success than you otherwise would have.


AN:

Yes all three truly are amazing options you would have been stuck with Telma on a small success, had Louise as an option too on a medium success but you got lucky and got Fanadi as a pick too... Good luck choosing between them now.

'This past year has been VERY productive.' Link thought as he walked through the streets of the new capital on one of his few breaks. 'Not only is Malo doing a great job building the new Capital but the Lumber camps are starting to bring in plenty of wood. Plus I can send some people out to start up that Granite quarry right away this year and we will be getting plenty of stone to build any walls we need to defend ourselves from the moblins.'

'The only question now is, dare I hope for the same success this year?' Link thought as he arrived in his office at his new capital building and home and he sat down to start handing out this years orders.

Martial: Rusl +14 to any martial action he is applied to.

However most of they way through the conversation they were interrupted by the Hylian nobles who demanded to know why Link was visiting commoners instead of them!
Everything started going wrong as Link expressed shock and said he thought the nobles all went with the princess when they seperated and Ashei was getting in their faces while Auru tried to mediate. Luckily as the nobles were getting angrier they were interrupted by another of Links old friends and a noble herself their leaders daughter Agitha who interrupted them by running forward and hugging Link calling him grasshopper and greeting him in her own Unique way. Her Father the Duke of South Hyrule fields sputtered in shock for a moment thinking Link had done something weird before Agitha started telling Link about how well all the bugs he collected for her were doing and that she was able to save them. After this the nobles cooled down on the dukes behest and the crisis was averted after Link promised to meet them early next year the moment he had the time.

Damn that capital is coming along you guys owe Malo a LOT. That capital is going to be a masterpiece once it is finished at this rate. The census too saved your butts, giving you an extra 300 rupees per turn making up for your endless spending. Also that copper mine roll really came through for you.

otherwise, a lot of meh actions this turn

 

[san]

'I am so glad this Capital is nearly completed.' Link thought as he was sitting back looking over how low his finances have gotten. 'We are nearly out of rupees and it has only been 2 years! I never realised how expensive running a nation is.'

'This is before I have even had a professional army trained too! Which we are going to need soon enough given how quiet the 'Blin tribes have been they are definitely planning a full invasion to hit soon.' Link Continued thinking as he grit his teeth in frustration . 'At least we have a training grounds build now so that problem can be fixed in shortly.'

'Perhaps I should increase Taxation now that we are our own kingdom.' Link stood up and started pacing as he tried to think of new ways to improve his kingdom's state of affairs. 'But no, it might be best to wait a year for that. If I do I can assign Malo to the task, he is FAR more effective than I am at that sort of thing. Plus the increased reputation I will have with my people should help balance it out a fair bit. That isn't even including of course the fact that if I wait until after the capital is complete I will be able to increase the taxes there as well.'

Sitting back down Link continues to think. 'Yes it would be best to wait. hmm perhaps I should also spend some rupees once the capital is complete to help stimulate new trade within the nation. It should appease the merchants a fair bit and it will likely have good long term profit.'

'Speaking of trade, Perhaps I should build some roads as well? We already have dirt roads, but even some a few stone roads like the ones in the capital should help improve trade, let alone a full network of them! hmmm, maybe....' Link becomes lost in his thoughts as he continues to think about his nations future.

'Everything is going so well it is starting to worry me.' Link thought after he sent out orders for each project he wanted done this year.

'While I am sure a large part of this is the goddesses showing my Kingdom favour, the Moblins at the very least should have attacked by now. The fact that they haven't means they likely are building up around some warlord. I will have to order more troops to be trained next year too, to ensure we have enough defenses in place to withstand an attack by them.' Link started thinking while pacing around his office.

'Then there is the fact that all his stress is starting to eat at me. I need to get out and have some XXX but I can't because I need to set an example for my people. I guess it is time to start looking into finding a wife soon, if only to satisfy that part of me without risking a reputation loss.' Link sighed sitting back down at his desk. 'I really do hate this job.'

[X] Plan Economical Resurrection
Martial:
-[X] Train Medium Infantry (shield + spear) (Defender, specialized in holding and defending positions) (300 rupees worth at max)--[X] Assign Rusl
Roll: 101, CRITICAL SUCCESS!
Rusl went above and beyond every expectation of what was needed to train the infantry up to par. Not only did he train all the maximum number of 600 infantry to high levels individually, but he also remembered a few formations and tactics and trained the infantry in how to conduct them. The new troops are called Hoplites and the training/equipment to make them has been made separate from regular medium infantry.
Rewards: -300 rupees. +60 rupees upkeep, -100 wood, -150 metal, +600 Defensive Medium spear Infantry, +new infantry type *Hoplite* gained, +Ideas gained in training - Defensive formations.

Administration:
-[X] (Locked with Malo) Build a proper Capital
Roll: 80 Large success!
Malo and the workers he hired for the capital continued to do great things to the capital though they failed to find the time and resources to build the Walls they wanted to finish the capital with. However they still managed to build the capital all the way up to the level of a Large town bordering on a small city. After its completion many Hylians and Ordonians moved into the capitol. With it up trade and tax incomes increased greatly from being able to tax the people who moved. The populaces moral and how much everyone respected/liked you was also boosted.
Rewards: -500 stone, -100 rupees, -100 rupees upkeep, Capital Size boosted to a Large town. CAPITAL COMPLETED!!! 36,000 Ordonians move into the Capital, 26,000 Hylians move into the Capital. +800 Rupees in tax income, +500 Rupees in trade income, +200 rupees in building upkeep. Population Morale increased to 0, +1 influence with every race/faction in your kingdom, +1 diplomatic position with any nations you meet thanks to Legitemacy bonus from having a capital! Refugee malus reduced, Hylian Nobles/Merchants no longer have refugee status.

-[X] Establish Marble Quarry
Roll: 25 small success.
The marble quarry unlike the capital and the troops barely met expectations thanks to the difficulty in getting through the hard stone with bronze tools. The quarry still managed to finish, however if profitability was desired still it would need to be further worked on and enlarged later.
Rewards: Gained Marble resource, Established marble quarry, +200 stone income, +100 rupee income, -500 Rupees, -200 wood, -50 metal, +100 rupees upkeep.

-[X] Build a Town for the Hylian Refugees --[X] Assign an additional authority point
Roll: 109 CRITICAL SUCCESS!
Building the Town to relocate the remaining Hylians went beyond perfectly however. The People hired to build the town turned out to be a rival company of the people hired to build the capital and refused to be outdone by them. They build stone roads and a drain system throughout the town to show that along with building it up to the status of a small town bordering on a medium one in just a year.
Rewards: Town Built to small town status, -400 stone, -100 rupees, +100 rupees upkeep, Stone roads built inside Town, drain system emplaced in the Town.

Diplomacy:
-[X] Meet the the Duke of south hyrule, the leader of the Hylian lords --[X] Assign Mayor Bo +1 authority point.
Roll: 56 Medium success.
Meeting the duke went surprisingly well. It turns out that Agitha had told him all about the 'grasshopper' who kept her company while he was busy in his lands and brought her plenty of her bugs. He was greatly appreciative of this, however he wanted assurances that Hyrule was going to be reclaimed and the Royal family found as there were no actions taken towards that yet. Between Mayor Bo and Link they were able to convince him that they had every intention to do so but they had to focus on getting the economy and resources needed to sustain themselves first. Though they were forced to promise to train scouts next year to look into Hyrule as soon as possible.

After the serious agreements were all worked out, the Duke refused to let them leave without showing them a bit of thanks and broke out some of the high quality booze he managed to save. Soon all three of them were drunk and laughing happily as if they were all old friends. later on after a bit of drinking the duke mentioned how much his daughter liked him and hinted at the possibility of a marriage between the two. "You need an heir after all, and my daughter is certainly of the age to marry!" The duke had said. After a while when it was dark out you all left and headed to your beds. When you woke up tomorrow morning nursing a slight headache you remembered the Dukes offer and it caused you to realize that you really do need an heir and that it was perhaps time to settle on a single woman rather than the many different women you seduce and have one night stands with.
Rewards: information on what the Hylian nobles/merchants want and how they feel about you, spousal offer gained.

-[X] Intrigue and Research advisors do nothing.
Your intrigue and research advisors take some time to do their own little experiments or to just have fun for the year given you had no jobs for them to do.

treasury/resources at the end of the year:

Rupees: -860 in bank, +1600 from taxes, +600 from trade. +100 from other sources.

Food: natural food level 6, Food level with refugees 5.

Stone: 100 in stockpiles, +800 income.

Wood: 600 in stockpiles, +900 income.

Metal: 300 in stockpiles, +500 income.

a couple small Votes here:

[] Write in capital name

[] Write in where the Hylian town will be located within your lands

[] Write in Hylian town name

Chapter ends here

so there you go, money problem solved plus you have excess! also I changed the gambeson to greek style breastplates and helms and stuff. The cost for that is the metal needed to train medium infantry after all! Anyway with that critsuccess you are able to train Hoplites at the same level of experience even if you get a small success when training them now. If you get more than a medium success the training will go up for that group.

anyway I hope you guys are enjoying the fic, thanks for reading and see ya.

'Well Malo has beyond proven himself with how this capital looks. He even put one of his malomarts in it, HAH!' Link though chuckling to himself as he looked over the newly constructed capital as people moved about on their business.

'The new town for the Hylians is coming along great too, I am glad I ordered it constructed in the southeast near the desert. That should keep it safe and provide a position with which my future scouts can map out the desert and its surrounding mountains from.' Link nodded to himself while confirming his previous decisions. 'Though I am glad I put the names for the capital and new town up for a vote among the people. I am nowhere near inventive enough to come up with the name Roma, or Athenae. I was just going to call the capital, capital and the town Hyliantown.'

'In any case my abstinence is starting to really get to me, I need to look into finding a wife soon or I might crack and seduce a new woman.' Link thought in worry. 'Damn my wolf instincts, but I am in the prime of my life and they keep telling me I need to mate!'

*sigh* 'Oh well I just need to figure out that out on my own time. Now then, what to do this year, I already committed to the scouting, and my new influence and rep from the capital should really help out going forward. I will also need more troops since those Blin's lack of attacks are starting to make me paranoid. Seriously just how many of them are they gathering for an attack? Do they plan to wipe us out in one massive push?' Link thought in worry. 'Doesn't matter though, all I can do is train more troops as swiftly as possible and hope for the best... Maybe I should look into repairing the walls in the southwest town though. That might help, either way the stuff to do never ends.'

'... what?' Link was stunned after he read Malo's report. 'How the hell did he manage this???'

Link kept sitting and staring up at the ceiling with his mouth gaping before shaking his head vigorously. 'You know what? NO I won't question this, I will just be happy I have a miracle worker on staff and not working against me instead.'

'Thankfully while Telma and the town builders also exceeded my expectations, they did so in a much more realistic manner.' Link thought with a relieved sigh. 'I'm not sure my heart could have taken another surprise like that.'

'Everything else also went as expected. Good to know.' Link leaned backwards resting his head on the back of his chair. 'Now what to do next year? hmmm.'

-[X] (2 authority locked in until action is complete!) Build a Town for the Hylian Refugees
Roll: 86 GREAT success!
Athenae finished being built this year. Most of the remaining Hylians were able to mov into it and began paying their taxes, even the ridiculous boost Malo ended up getting from them. The builders even managed to build walls around the newly finished town at the cost of a fair bit of extra stone.

Roll: 95 GREAT success!
Telma went above and beyond your expectations this year. Not only did she manage to recruit 1 squad at slightly reduced costs... She managed to recruit 2! As for the how... well that's a bit less impressive. She recruited them from her bar as they used to be hunters before she appropriated them to be scouts for you. It was their already above average skills at tracking, noting terrain, and eyesight that allowed Telma to cut out those parts of the training and focus on the rest, like accurate mapmaking, which let her train both squads at the same time and for the reduced cost.
Reward: -300 rupees, +100 rupees upkeep, 2 scouting parties to send where you wish.

Ok guys... all I have to say here is that you are the luckiest bastards in this quest.

I swear.. You score a Nat crit... on the ONE THING you can't get a regular critical success on. LIKE WTF RNGESUS! The odds of this happening were insane, but it happened so meh... enjoy this while you can you evil lucky questers.

Anyway I will update the nation stats in a little bit... just give me some time to do it.

seriously though... that nat crit roll was insanely ridiculous... So bloody lucky you put Malo on that, he seems to just work miracles for you.


oh right I almost forgot...

[] Write in a name for the heavy cavalry troop type:

 

[san]

'Well rupees will certainly not be a problem this year.' Link thought with a smile. 'Though I really need to increase the size of the training grounds as soon as possible. More troops need to be trained faster so we can be prepared in the case of a full out Blin invasion.'

Link got up and started pacing in worry. 'Perhaps I should also look into building some counter-siege weapons in Ordontown. We do have those new towers built into the walls that could hold a decent sized siege weapon each. Building an Onager on top of each tower should massively improve the defences there.'

'I should also probably make use of that missile range and start training mass ranged troops. That will let them make proper use of the walls against the Blin when they come.' Link thought sitting back down with a sigh. 'Of course I also really need to look into finding other survivors of the goddesses wrath. If I can find someone willing to ally against the Blin that would solve most of the problem right there. Well wishes and all that... what to do this year?'
