[X] River and Cave Region (Average Agriculture, Average Minerals, High Exotic Materials, High Danger)
While the high danger is a concern, I believe the combination of Ling Qi, GG, and CRX will be able to handle whatever comes our way. Plus whatever other retainers Cai Renxiang brings along.
Along with that danger, however, is what I feel to be commensurate reward. We have a solid base of potential in the average agriculture and average minerals, nothing spectacular, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. And with the Bai land studies and Zhengui, I feel that we can even reach higher than that average agriculture and really make something out of the place.
Most particularly we have high exotic materials. This is going to be stuff that others will likely want, which we can either turn into more money for development or more political capital to get the things we want in the region done easier.
The deciding fact for me, however, is that I do want the fief to be a place of interest with challenges and difficulties. Something that we need to work at in order to reap the rewards. That sounds more interesting to me than the clearly safer option of the valley.
