'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.
