The new count dismissed Mathilde due to fear of exploding wizard and wouldn't like to have a wizard within exploding range. Julia certainly have enough intrigue to discover the sunken palace should someone orders her to.
Yeah, like, priority one right now is to clear our backlog of stuff we've wanted to do but haven't been able to. Then we can go try to do our Exam while getting our Fiefdom set up. We can't really leave right yet anyway because we need to take an action to figure out how to safely move our stuff.
How many more spells do we need until we get another Magic upgrade?

Because the new count would rather not have a wizard close to her seat of power? She is a neutral party at this point and remaining in Wurtbad would risk antagonizing her, witch hunters, and new spy master. Do you want to make Julia's job difficult by asking her not to report Mathilde's presence in Wurtbad. Her 14 intrigue makes such discover possible after all.
Would the wizard knight's lack of presence in her fief make the count or her witch hunters uncomfortable?
As a noble and major shareholder of the EIC, Matty's got plenty of legitimate reasons to be in Wurtbad even if she's no longer Spymistress; I don't think it'd make things harder on Julia if Matty continued to live there. Plus, she's already well known for use of the shadowsteed spell, so even if Matty is frequently reported to be in Wurtbad, it's possible that Rosy may believe Matty's operating out of her fief anyways.
So, I starting crunching/ formatting some costs (and their overwork costs). Hopefully I didn't mess up on the math somewhere, and the formatting isn't to confusing.
Yes, I know I missed some combinations of buildings. Not really sure how to add them without making this "table" more confusing. Formatting: Cost(Normal/Wood)|Cost(Normal/Wood)(No Actions)|Cost(Stone)|Cost(Stone)(No Actions)|Room:NumberOfRooms(If Applicable)|Cost/Room(If Applicable) Cost/Room uses - (Cost(Normal/Wood)
Money Left Over assume we have 1291 to spend
Land Improvements Total Cost:
Buildings: Well, Granary, Bailey
Total| 200 | 300 | 500 | 750 So it costs 200 for wood/normal constructions with us overseeing, 300 with us not overseeing, 500 for us overseeing but with stone, and 750 for us not overseeing with stone

(Non Dwarf Farming and Prospecting)

It may be beneficial to use some of our wealth to hire managers to oversee our land's construction. I mean, we are probably going to use our actions for the foreseeable future on magic stuff.
The way I see it, we should have a Manor, and good defenses--purely because this is basically a relatively safe, out of the way place to build a top class workshop and facility.
Needs to be a manor because it's got to be our house too.

I don't think that Magic works like that, where learning X amount of spells results in Matty gaining a point in the Magic stat, or if it does, it hasn't been explicitly stated.

The description of our land specifically notes it as rocky and inhospitable.
Dwarves, of course, grow crops on literal mountainside that humans swear should be barren.
We might not get anything without pulling in dwarven favor.
Irl the crops that grow in this sort of soil are fibrous, shallow, wide roots.
Marulas, pineapple, rye from my local (South Africa) experience.
These are sub-tropical though.
I'm not sure what the climate is on our land. We are empire, but southern empire, so might be sub-tropical rather than temperate.

"BoneyM has said that nobody attacks the Weber lands because they're a bunch of mountains, and instead any prospective bandits will attack the fat farmlands down in the valleys. Our investment must be protected, let's build a fortress on it!"
It's more valuable because it's an isolated, out of the way place where an enchanter has set up her workshop and sanctum. A Manor also is something we can use to house friends, apprentices, and an armory to keep found treasures.

Unless we don't abandon our hidden palace in the heart of Stirland for a land of mountain crags and goat droppings, and just keep her workshop and sanctum in the place we've stayed at for a decade.
I just... why? Why would you spend these actions building a less cool place to do what we can already do at home?
