The garrison is a good building, though it doesn't technically add directly to Defense. It would allow the creation of more troops there more rapidly.

Consider it done. I was planning on moving 10 BP into the fund this month, so you can buld the garrison and have some left over.
the Garrison is a 2 square building, so it looks like the only place you can put it without tearing down something is at F4/F5.
Other suggested builds:
T'Ford - B1 Aviary
T'Ford - C6 Butcher
T'Ford - F6 Park
T'Ford - A3 Fletcher
Varnhold - F1 Grave Yard
Varnhold - F2 Monument
Varnhold - E1 Shrine
Total cost 36 BP
If there is not an open 2 space area we can go ahead and set up another district unless you are opposed to that?

I'm not sure if you can set up another district if the first isn't full.
Not an issue just yet, since there is space for the garrison at F4 & F5
I don't think it can cross a grid square. If you can build a building into open space then I believe you can start another district unless Raz is willing to move a building over for us.
Never mind, we can split it up per this fromt he rules.
"Two-block and four-block structures cannot be split up (although they can span streets)." so we are fine per your suggestion.
Missing Medium Item: wand of protection from energy - 11,250 gp
Please make your item sales and economy rolls for Turn 44 Kuthona 4712.
I have been thinking about the upcoming Battle of Leveton. The rules do not state exactly how attacks on cities go. The armies from Pitax are not interested in a siege. As in the attack on Tatzlford, they are focused on taking down the city in Greenmarch. The armies have approached from the northwest avoiding detection in Greenmarch until the attack. The wyvern army has attacked first. This is when Albius got the sending from librarian in Leveton. The other two armies are following up the attack and will arrived in a staggered fashion. The troll army will follow in an hour with the human army arriving in another 4 hours.
I have chosen to run the battle as follows:
1) Combat in defense of the city will be in 1-hour increments.
2) I rule that Leveton city walls have 24 HP, 4 for each city wall, of which there are 6.
3) When the city walls reache 0 hp, they are destroyed and pillage of the city will begin in the next 1-hour turn.
4) After the battle (if the city walls do not fall) the number of city walls that remain will be calculated by the remaining hp divided by 4 and the result rounded down.
5) If the city walls are breached, then 1d4 random buildings per army still active after the breach will be destroyed every 1-hour turn after the city walls are breached until the armies are defeated or routed.
6) A crit (natural 20) by any army will automatically do damage to the city walls.
7) The city of Leveton has no offensive function at this time.
8) All attacks occur at the same time at the end of the turn, i.e. no initiative order.
Battle of Leveton Turn 1
The wyvern army attacks the city walls , the attack fails.
Battle of Leveton Turn 2
The party is made aware of the attack. The troll army arrives and joins the attack and will contribute this attack. If PCs (as armies) arrive at Leveton this turn, they will be affective next turn.
, attack fails.
, attack fails.
I see the little amount of defense from the city as citizens and city guard/militia that basically step up and and defend the city by getting on the walls and use it defenses to try and repel the attackers.
When we arrive we can act as an offensive/defensive unit to try and punish them as much as possible when they attack and hopefully try and drive them away.

Do you have the most recent images of Leveton and Shrikeport? I don't ahve one showing the builds from turn 43 (black market etc in Leveton and noble villa in shrikeport)
And it looks like the image of Varnhold is showing the Graveyard, but not the Monument or the Shrine.
Raz,
I found the discrepancy in the kingdom treasury. We were in agreement at the end of turn 42. At the end of turn 43, you had us at 164 while I had 160. I double-checked my figures and I believe mine are accurate. Here's what we have for turn 43:
Consumption: 6 BP
Claimed 2 hexes: a3 and F3 (2 BP)
Road in a3 (1 BP)
Farm H7 and H8 (8 BP)
Buildings: 55 BP
Leveton: Black Market:25 (half price due to market)
Leveton: City Wall: 8
Leveton: City Wall: 8
Leveton: House: 3
Shrikeport: Noble Villa: 11 (original price 24 BP. Half due to castle, minus one for carpenter)
Total Spent: 72
Incmoe (including 1 for stability) 90
Change: +18
142+18 = 160
Representatives of the four leading families of Pitax meet with you the day after you kill King Irovetti. They offer their support but hope you will return the city to it's rightful leadership. Unfortunately, each family sees itself as that rightful leader.
You have been warned by the "Lady"Quintessa Maray, who you believe to be a spy for Mivon, not to trust the Strocalle family who own the Darkwind Trade House. They are the richest trading house in the city but no one really trusts them.
The Liacenzas controlled most of Pitax until the brothers Lothaire and Berengar lost the Iron Fox Trading Company to Irovetti in a card game. This trading company now belongs to Duke (now King by right of conquering and claiming Pitax and its hexes) Langham by right of battle. The Liacenzaz have made overtures for the return of Iron Fox to their family.
The Cattanei Family has had the greatest role in the founding of Pitax but their Serpent's Breath Trade House is the poorest in Pitax. It has bee bought recently by a merchant from Cheliax. Salvarri Cattanei owns the Red Crescent Theater, a poorly staffed and marginal entertainment venue. This you believe to be Briar.
When examining the remains of Irovetti you have discovered the following magic items: amulet of natural armor +2, belt of physical might (STR/CON) +6, boots of speed, mithral breastplate +5, colak of resistance +4, headband of alluring charasma +4, ring of protection +4. You also have two non-magical but powerful items: his rod and his baton. The rod is an ornate adamantine rod that appears to be a cross between a halberd and a strange scepter of alien design. The baton short and made of green metal. It will take Albius several days to use Knowledge(engineering) to discover the functions of these two magical items.
The spirit naga had a headband of alluring charisma +2, medallion of thoughts, spell storing amulet of mighty fists +1 (contains hideous laughter). The gargoyle had amulet of natural armor +2, ring of force shield, studded leather +4. The weretiger had leather +3 (shadow), ring of invisibility, ring of protection +3, amulet of natural armor +3. The gnome wizard had headband of vast intelligence +4 (fly, stealth), ring of protection +3, rod (maximize/lesser), wand of reduce person (42 charges), wand of scorching ray (23 charges). Villamor Koth had +1 vicious greataxe, 2 potions of barkskin (+5), hide armor +5, ring of protection +2.
In the grotto bedroom fou find 8500 gp of minor objects d'art. In the rooms of the Villamor Koth you a chest with 2 tapestries worth 1500 gp each, a payroll chest contaning 3338 gp, 12 potions of cure serious wounds, 3 potions of neutralize poison.
Last, but not least, in a hidden cavern off the grotto you find wrapped in a Evindra's shawl a +4 long sword which looks like this. You believe that this is Briar.
First things first.
We need to disarm and disband the mercenary armies remaining in the city and occupy the city.
We need to restore order in Pitax.
We need to make arrangements to return the shawl to its rightful owner.
Once those things are accomplished, we can start discussing the long-term status of Pitax.
The houses can't be trusted ...
My suggestion is to approach Liacenzaz in secret ...
I agree that the noble houses cannot be trusted.
I also agree that the Liacenza family is the place to start. They have lost the most to the previous regime, and have the most to gain from securing our favor.
Tavius - approach them, secretly, as you suggested, and feel them out. Offer them noble title and estates from Greenmarch as an incentive. You may want to use the Medallion of Thoughts we recovered. See if you can get a bead on their surface thoughts when speaking to them.
We also need to reach out to Mivon. If we annex Pitax, we will be stretched pretty thin. We need a friendly power on our southern border. Perhaps we can provide some incentives. (trade treaty, land, etc). Perhaps Lady Maray can facilitate opening such a conversation.
Overall, I see these as our options for the long-term disposition of Pitax:
Annex the entire country.
Vassalage – maintain an occupation force, and give Pitax limited independence with a provisional governor from Greenmarch.
Independence – hand over control of the kingdom to the locals, presumably through the noble families (either one of them or a council of all three).
Either vassalage or independence would need to include reparations to Greenmarch, likely in the form of territory.
Any opinions?
Annex! Time those Mivonians learned a lesson!
OK, with the peanut gallery having been heard from, the vote is for annexation.
How will that work? Will we get the whole thing at once, or do we start claiming hexes between Freemarch and Pitax until we reach the city?
If that's the case, there are 7 hexes between us, and we can claim 4 per month, so it will take 2 months to make Pitax an official part of our kingdom.
We'll need to get back to investing some of our income in building the kingdom. Maintaining the larger armies, we have about 20 to 25 BP per month in usable revenue. We also have a pretty sizable war chest. Of course, the math is going to change as we add more hexes and see what the values of Pitax look like.
Town of Varnhold and its claimed hexes were absorbed into Greenmarch without the limits for claiming hexes applying. That area was added once it was touched by claimed hexes of Greenmarch. Greenmarch may annex Pitax as soon as the populace agrees. This will increase Undest by 2d6 if you fail a Stability check the month you annex Pitax.
And it looks like the image of Varnhold is showing the Graveyard, but not the Monument or the Shrine.
