In this section we will manage the kingdom event turns. We will sequentially step through each step of each phase and will allow ~2 days to resolve each step. This thread will only be for kingdom events - all party level exploration will be managed on the other campaign thread.
I am here!

Sold!
Upkeep Phase: NA
Edict Phase, Step 2: Claim and Abandon Hexes
From discussion, the Stag Lord's fort will be the first hex claimed (-1 BP). Your kingdom boundary is marked on Roll 20.
Edict Phase, Step 3: Build Terrain Improvements
Do you want to build any terrain improvements on your hex? My understanding is that terrain improvements (farms, etc.) can be added to a settlement hex.
Edict Phase, Step 4: Create and Improve Settlements
You establish your first settlement and future capital city. What will the settlement be named?
We were going to repair the fort since that's why we're using that tile, since we have two improvements we could also add a farm or fishery since they can share tiles.

Stag's End?
Oathfort?New Hope?

Edict Phase, Step 3: Build Terrain Improvements
II recommend we build a farm in our hex for two BP. This seems to be a great deal. If we could also build a fishery for 4 BP this turn I would be in favor of that.
Settlement Name. I like New Hope.
Edict Phase, Step 4: Create and Improve Settlements
I think we can build one improvement plus a house, right? So we either build a Mill for 6 or we repair the fort for 12.
I was under the impression that repairing the fort would count as a terrain improvement
Start with the farm, fishery next round?
Edict Phase, Step 3: Build Terrain Improvements
Fort and farm?
Edict Phase, Step 4: Create and Improve Settlements
Two votes for New Hope. Does anyone else have alternate city names they would prefer?
Edict Phase, Step 5: Create Army Units
NA
Edict Phase, Step 6: Issue Edicts
How will you set your holiday, promotion and taxation edicts?
Fort and farm sounds good, add one more vote for new hope.
Let's do that!
Yes, there are four things you can always build as a bonus: House, Tenement, Noble Villa, or Mansion. By the numbers if you're going to build something here it's usually best to build Houses.
yup so we build a house and an inn or something to start us off.
Umm, hello -- noble villa for THIS guy!!
:)
As king you're getting a castle one day, pretty sure that tops noble villa
"King" is so pretentious... how about "High Warden" or something less associated with royal lineage etc.? Sheriff? Chancellor?
You can just call me "The" Connor. It's cool.

Doesn't being a protectorate mean we're the one's being protected? Also last time a checked this AP is called kingmaker.
Or I suppose we could do the Andoran thing and become a democracy, that'd be neat.
Terraign improvement: Farm (2 BP), Fort (12 BP)
Settlement established: New Hope (1 BP)
Fort coverts to a barracks and stable
Treasury: 35 BP
Note, you can't improve a settlement the turn it is created, so the house will have to wait until next turn.
Edicts: Aggressive Promotion, No Taxation, No Holidays
Someone please make an economy check: 1d20 plus your economy (12) divided by three
That's probably as good as a roll as we could have got, woo us!
(< 25 = event)
No events.
That completes the first turn.
Treasury: 45 BP
Someone please make a stability check.
Which hex will you claim next?
If I recall correctly there was a nice plains/river hex to the top left that was connected to our hex. We should claim that and put a farm and fishery in there. If possible we should also add a stockyard to our settlement, it should increase the consumption BP production of the farm and fishery by 1.
Happy with claiming the cleared adjacent hex and building farm and/or fishery.
Well if we do build them it should pay for the consumption of the next few hexes by itself. There were roughly three plains/river hexes that I recall, if we built farms/fishers on them and positioned another settlement to build a second stockyard we should have strong enough economic base to smash our way through the early kingdom building stage of the game, maybe enough to support a professional army.
It's not entirely necessary, if you focus in on building up the first town. Remember, every new hex = +1 to Control DC for the kingdom's checks, so adding hexes can be risky.
While that's true we have a high stability at the moment and even if we only annex one hex and build a farm/fishery on it that's an extra 3 BP each turn not consumed by consumption. If we build a stockyard that bumps up to 5, with the farm in our main hex and if we build a fishery there as well we end up with 10 Consumption BP more than enough to pay for our edicts.
If we only annex one hex and then focus on building up our city we can save alot of BP in the long run.
I agree and I think there is something bold about claiming a slightly larger area .. 2 hexes total is probably fine for now, but it talks to staking ground and preparing for more settlers/colonists and a growing community.

The wilderness map is back up on Roll 20. From Larisa's post, it sounds like you want to claim an adjacent hex. You have the choice of the river hex or the hex you just cleared (the fang berry thickets).
River. Personally I think if we're going to expand we should expand toward Oleg's so that we have a clear route to make a trail and eventually a road to the border (in the distant future).
Concur! Let's secure our backyard before we expand too far into the unknown.
River hex for sure.
