I'd be very interested in a clear answer to Erian's question, too, because I'm in the same position. I simply hate going around killing mobs for the sake of killing mobs: I can kill a score of goblins, not hundreds of them without a meaningful goal - and achievements are not a meaningful enough goal to me.
Because production of slave outfits is a boost for the textile industry, so slaves must go clothed and slave girls must be fashionable. These are civilized types' ways . ;)
1 person marked this as a favorite. + The Aeternum Trade Alliance - ATA Who says that battles, sieges, ambushes and skirmishes are the only ways of fighting a war? Who says that swords, maces, arrows, wands and shields are fun toys only if used against your enemy? The most dangerous and effective wars are economic wars, the wars prepared by hammering in smithies, concocting potions in an alchemy lab, roaming the wilderness in search of resources, the wars fought raiding the markets and subduing prices. The most powerful empires are those resting on arms and business alike. Nation: Empire of Xeilias

Merchants, Crafters, & Sell Swords come to Callambea to seek your treasure! We welcome trade with all...as long as we're not at war with you...but even then we might be able to work something out...at an increased cost of course, hehehe. Pecunia non olet, Money has no smell, the Romans used to say...
A clarification about Free trade Agreements: Each and every Free Trade Agreement is unique and distinct,even if the technical aspects of managing an economy remain static for the most part. While using these static elements as pillars on which to expand, the foundation of the Free Trade Agreement is a contract, which is a mutual promise to exchange ideas of value.
To all the River Kingdoms merchants: Callambea is always looking for trade partners. We will do what is necessary to conduct trade and foster good business relationships with people that are interested in doing business with us. For Callambea, trade logistics over a large distance are defined in the form of a Free Trade Agreement between two organizations. The FTA outlines the protocol for goods, scheduling, caravan accommodations, and other technical aspects of trade logistics. Included in the FTA is a "status of forces section" while in each others' territory. Basically, once business is conducted are you/we expected to leave right away or can you/we hang around and how can you/we expect to be treated? That sort of thing. An FTA will include "breaking contact," which is at what point are we/you on our own. An FTA does not cover if we are both in the same neutral territory vying for unclaimed resources. At the same time, "breaking contact" could include escort out of the Area of Influence of any NC member.
I can see your point, but you see, Aeternum Trade Alliance is a "historical name" in a sense, because ATA was founded more than one year ago, when there was still a bit of confusion about prospective political bodies in PfO.
Guinness is better on tap. Better than it is in the USA. I lean more towards German and Belgian ales & lagers. Oh yes, you can't compare Guinness on tap in Ireland with Guinness sold in cans or bottles elsewhere. I drank it for the first time in Dublin and loved it but when I bought it here in Italy I was bitterly disappointed.
