Yeah, seriously. "Any weapon you wield is Magical" is a big deal.

It's what lets you pull shit like walk with a staff and then beat a ghost to death with it.

EDIT: Wow. Buffed up, Mathilde is comparable to the Elector Count in combat. That's no small feat.

Duh. Just how else is Mathilde going to ride in and heroically save Van Hals life before sweeping him away on her steed, just like Magda did for Von Haast in The Witch and her Hunter 2?

His martial score doesn't take into account his own proficiency or the Runefang, though.

Time to work on our Enchantment!

We need to get a saltpeter industry going. Not just for the money but because it gives us control over lots of saltpeter. That's more than military power for Stirland, it's an intelligence asset in itself. If we are a major supplier in the Empire - which we will be with other provinces not having an integrated waste management program - then anyone wanting to run a rebellion or gunpowder plot will want to buy or steal from us which is a chance for us to find out about them. Even a completely successful theft will at least let us know something is up when we miss the stock.

In appearance and attitude, I picture him as Carrot from Discworld circa Guards Guards. He was never supposed to develop the cunning behind the friendly innocence but the dice seem to have other plans.

.... (scrapes all the pictures I had of potential portraits) hmm not a bad choice and one I can work with but as I have never read disc world and the Google pictures of carrot aren't very flattering (he looks 50 when here anton is barely out of his teens so young 20s) I'll try to find something
 
About those Potential Orders, I have a write-in I would like to suggest, thinking back to a previous exchange with van Hal:

You nod in commiseration, and he sits himself down, broodily sipping at his mug. "Not that there aren't upsides," he admits. "Any other province and I would have been drawn into Imperial politics immediately. Stirland, I had some breathing room until they started playing games."

"Talabecland?" you guess.

"Talabecland are the loudest of them, but that's just because they see an opportunity to rebuild southern trade and want to get the lion's share of profits from it. We'll see how well Wilhelmina does at preventing that. But Averland and Ostermark are watching, because Sylvania's partly their problem too, and Wissenland and Reikland... god, it's easy to forget that Stirland's got half the Empire as neighbours. But there's an Elector's Meet coming up, and that's going to mean all eyes on the newcomer."

[ ] Stirland's internal affairs are (mostly) in order, but the external politicking is picking up. Let's look to our neighbors for a bit.

For use by anyone who draws up a plan/report. Right now I'm too busy enjoying ASARNIL and rereading turn.

Hah, that we get minus Diplomacy from that Bureaucratic Crit is hilarious.

Also that Greatsword Proficiency and Bless Weapon combo is great. What's our standing martial with a greatsword, but mounted and not, now?
 
So what kind of elf are we working with here? The green kind or island kind?

That blurb about animals disappearing around the province and EIC kids doing herd contracts seems concerning. Are they taking advantage or being taken as advantage? Might not be related but ambitious people aren't the most conservative in matters of gibbly.

This one is in the right ballpark, though it is concerningly devoid of shirt.

14 with greatsword, 19 with greatsword and shadowsteed.
 
Hmm still looking bit all I got is this



Tried to find somewhat attractive photos as let's be honest our MC is a hottie and she deserves a sexy husbando ( no this has nothing to do with my ck2 instincts trying to pass on the beautiful trait to any possible future children ...pffftttt.... )
 
Is the derp-touched trait inheritable? In that case, if Anton were to become our husbando....

Island. The short version is he drove a Dark Elf invasion force out of Ulthuan without waiting to be ordered to do so, and when King Finubar decided to start handing out punishments instead of thanks, Asarnil declared he no longer recognized Finubar's authority, so Finubar banished him. He's been wandering the Old World as a mercenary ever since.

Different provinces - Wilhelmina's sons are in Worden, the disappearances are in Purgg.

Thanks! Another question if you don't mind me asking, what effect does the Fitness Skill have?

Probably +1 diplomacy, +1 martial, halfway between Attractive and Strong.

Both are close appearance-wise, but not personality - the first is too intense and the second too sulky.

[] Malleus Maleficarum- While the regular watchmen are fine for normal patrols and law enforcement. Sometimes what you need is a big hammer to solve a problem and we can't always rely on Van Hal to loan us greatswords. Build a small special unit (20 to 50 strong) to send in to "flashpoint" situations. These aren't "normal" Watchmen, they'll be the Witch's Hammer. When you have a problem that won't crack, you send them in to "solve" the problem with big enchanted hammers. Start to outfit them with enchanted weapons and armor. They can help with undead collection when not on special assignment from us.
