Vigilante Justice! | Norland - Part 6 (Crusader Kings Meets Rimworld - Early Access)

Norland continues and we end up dealing with some of our vagabonds and cutthroats by deploying a little bit of vigilante justice!

There are a few disturbances in CupboardVale where ne'er-do-wells seem to be causing issues. In one such situation the baddie is dealt with by an unknown defender, and in another situation we deploy Safa to sneak out at night and do a spot of stabby stabby.

Despite her increasing years Betty leads the troops of CupboardVale over to Greenspire to help them defend from an attack by a neighbour. This takes a while and the troops are stationed in Greenspire for a time but it's worth it to impress our friend and potential ally.

Unfortunately our lack of army means that we can't really deal with any of the fleshwolf attacks that break out!

We also do quite a bit of trading, some bandits cause a bit of an issue and Safa and Jeff bond over a bit of casual wolf slaying!

NOTE: This is the Early Access version of the game.

----------------------------

The Empire has fallen, leaving in its place multiple successor kingdoms. The lords and ladies of these petty kingdoms squabble for control and influence – whether with cloak and dagger or sword and shield, families feud amongst themselves and against each other as greater threats cast a shadow across the land. Famines wreak havoc on the lives of the peasantry, warfare and disunity threaten the social order, noble families fall to decadence and hedonism, and beyond the borders of the old Empire, great armies of pillage and destruction form under the banners of invader-kings.

In these uncertain times, you must lead your small kingdom to greatness – and the members of your noble family to survival – in this medieval colony sim focussed on generating stories of great valor and vile treachery.

The common folk of Norland are the backbone of any kingdom, serving their noble lords on the battlefield and around the city with deference and loyalty… until their bellies become empty or the beer runs dry. With different backgrounds, needs, and thoughts of their own, the peasants are difficult to please and easily manipulated into rebellion, crime, and controversy – will you address their complaints as a benevolent lord or answer them with the executioner’s ax?

Norland is set in a rich world with a vibrant past – its inhabitants form a tapestry of different cultural backgrounds with checkered relations, and the power vacuum left in the wake of the Empire’s collapse has given rise to uncertain times. In the distance, an Unholy Horde grows ever stronger, pillaging and burning all in its path, while elsewhere the Church of Saint Sophia uses faith to maintain an iron grip on vast resources.

Through a multitude of scenarios to choose from and a plethora of options that define your nobles and the world around you, Norland allows you to build a society and tell a unique story of any kind – warmongers with penal legions fighting for their freedom, highly educated religious zealots trying to spread the faith, wealthy multicultural idealists hoarding tomes of knowledge, treacherous spymasters plotting assassination and intrigue… what tale will you tell?

You shouldn't ignore those "Conflict between neighbours"-thingies, because the both parties will be grumpy with you - so better to choose a side, maybe even side with the one that's not your friend (to avoid gaining an enemy). You don't have to send a lord, can use a messenger (can't remember if it cost paper or not)

Also, don't forget to do the poison-thingie :)

GOSH what an intense episode!! Great job navigating through it all though! Keep on Keeping On, Penge, and thank you _SO_ much for doing what you do~

[Jonaelize]

Best Episode yet, congrats to the Alliance

Good stuff! I would suggest you Improve wood production by reading books(correct cutting i belive) as it gives bonus to all wood lodges
Also producing end products like Flavourful ale or Beer by importing raw materials like wheat or hops also results in more gold
Use wheat for flour production only instead of beer, ale instead of beer for people and rutabega for pig farms may improve in overall people's mood.
Bernard can help out in trade agreements by getting friendlier with them.. Good luck :)

It's a very fighty episode. Go Safa and Betty!

[nregames]
