Msg event.pngHorse Population Boom

Msg event.pngSurplus Equipment


Turning a man into a soldier is expensive and time consuming. One of the biggest costs is the necessary equipment that turns a defenseless man into a relentless killing machine. Fortunately we have found that we have a stockpile of such equipment sitting around. It is in poor condition and won't last long, but if we were to use it now we could get men into uniform much cheaper.

Msg event.pngTimber Surplus


Growing trees for timber is a bit of unpredictable business, taking many years before a tree is ready for harvesting. The recent crop of timber has struggled to find a buyer and thus makes the business of ship building timber easier. The wood will not last forever and who knows what future supplies will be like.

Msg event.pngAdministrative Problems


It is becoming increasingly difficult to administer our armies. The men we have in the job are proving inept and far too venal. We search for men who are just corrupt enough to be bought, without being too greedy, until this is done our military administration will prove costly.
