Anglond, finding the need to grease the wheels of Bureaucracy, considers restructuring its government. The best economics, political scientists, and interested parties (public or private) will meet in Frisia to discuss, if necessary, any change in government.

A little bit late, but I think the Technology and Economy Summit in Landon was quite the success. Anglond HEAVILY considers opening it up to the world, for all, to be hosted in Frisia City, and then the highest bidder next time, as a World Summit. For this, interested investors set up a Navaidanian Summit Organization (NSO) for the specific guidance of this program.



Resources that once went to the military (which has now been covered by the Realm) is now going towards Education efforts. Anglond will offer rewards for companies who produce innovative technologies for the betterment of the Realm.

We also incorporate the rest of the Frisian river and surrounding mountains into Anglond. Natives will be given citizenship, because they probably share the same culture and will be enlightened by democracy.

I'm still hoping to annex the northern land.

Soli traders just go back home to Samhe Sol.
Samhe Sol is willing to trade raw ore for water, cloth and firearms

continue military reparations

I marched and fought you for a month? At most? In which the only action was you firing siege guns?

Espovon didn't even fight anyone?

whether you like them or not the siege engines were unrealistic and complete bullstuff. In any case they would not have done that much damage. Also from a logistical standpoint it seems like a nightmare to provide for an equivalent infantry force and animals to pull the engines at the same time. There's also the issue of Kyrevan military officers having more real combat experience over Arcon's none at the time.

Also there's the issue of highly flammable death balloons, but at least those were based on a real invention at the time, using relatively less expensive materials and whatnot.

Espovon didn't do particularly proactive military training or changes in years, and I forgot to note that before.

More like 2 months, but either way, scores, unless dealing with 1★, are always rounded down.  Kyrev is not 2.0, or even 2.4.  It's more like 2.8.

Then you don't know how the engineering worked.  Cypher seemed to be under perpetual impression that they advanced forward no matter how many times I said they rooted in place.  They were bullet-proof, but not artillery-proof structures that allowed for repetitive fire in numbers as a sliding door on the front allowed for safe reloading.  Their targets are other artillery while others engaged.  I can draw a diagram if that helps.

Also idk how anyone thought the balloons were weaponized.  They were literally just for surveillance.
