Say no to thugs!

Say yes to well qualified tournament winners.


Train Weapons.

I really wonder about that old palace now. Learning Lore does seem to potentially open up a lot of additional stuff (as does history).

Hire everyone who can grab a weapon correctly in three tries. Triple wield swords for extra stabbing.

Don't pardon criminals because if they were any good they wouldn't have been caught in the first place. Hire the winners of the tournament. Reflex x3 so we can dodge anything we don't immediately see (we will be stabbing and frying anything that we do).

Being fairly conservative with our choices has served us well this game, let's not recruit the prisoners.
Tournament Winners should be fine, though. We want the best of the best, after all.

Also I prefer the braavos style of sword fighting. How can we win a sword dual if we can't even catch cats? reflex x3

I think that since we're using the printing press, we should get the number of soldiers we need from just the tournament winners.

And train weapons I guess :bandwagon:

Guys, remember, last time we also held a recruitment drive at the tournament, and we were still ridiculously outnumbered by the enemy. We need as many soldiers as we can get, recruit the convicts.

Not as strong as you'd expect.
Don't recruit the dregs. They'll have poor morale and when they break(And it is WHEN, not IF) they'll cause a chain rout. And that's assuming they don't get bribed.

So, they'll jump overboard and attempt to swim away out on the open sea? I think we can take that risk.

But they could also act as a meat shield / distraction so our better troops can flank from a different angle.

All right, let's do that. Criminals probably already know how to fight.

Very well.





There are approximately eleven battalions and one platoon under your direct command. Progress on your new warships reportedly proceeds apace.









The Duchess of Mead is here to see you, my lady.

Hello, Elodie. I'm sorry to trouble you, but - have you seen Briony?

Not since the party last week.

She shakes her head.

She's gone missing. She's not at school where she should be. I know she was unhappy, but I never expected...

She was asking questions at the party about the old Novan palace, but then she wandered off.I'm sorry, I really don't know.

The... Oh, no. Oh, Briony, what have you done?

She hurries out of the room without even bothering to say farewell.











You have unlocked a new outfit!



As you are walking through the great hall, a freak gust of wind suddenly blows out all the candles in the room.



(How strange. There must be an open window somewhere.)











We prepare to hold a tournament, with employment as a prize. However, we don't receive any poisoned chocolates this time. I wonder why that is?









Vote for 2 classes, and decide on what we shall do during the tournament.
