The Earl of Sonehaven's orders regarding his county:
- Stonehaven troops are placed under the command of HRH Zechariah until further notice (it was de facto, now it is ordered so) - continue building up the camp - continue mapping the area - investigate Swedish technology if possible
Mortality was high among non military workers, new workers will be brought.

Pada Manor now has a guard!
Well, a skeleton one anyway. Thanks to the sales of vegetables last year, three privates were contracted very recently, and are now keeping watch over the manor grounds. We don't feel so vulnerable anymore, though I have to say, with those numbers, it's mostly an illusion of security. We'll need more. When more produce sells, we'll increase numbers.
Several of the younger farmers had been training for the last year, and are now that they've seen the people of Haljala form up a militia, they're eager to join the guard too. Given that we have enough people for all the farming tasks, it doesn't seem like a bad idea. It does need the King's approval, though. They'll be given the same salary as normal guards.
Now, on another subject, I have a doubt. I moved to Pada, and since that's a manor and I'm the landlady, I expect I have a place there to live and sleep, etc. Do I still need to acquire another house to not be considered a vagrant ?

These type of games can be very popular in China. After I finish my current projects maybe can help to translate some instructions. So far I have no time to learn or play.

Defense - Musket Production - 12.5k SCI remaining - Have 7,500 Credit from captured muskets sent to RWCC for dis-assembly and study
This project will benefit all who have military/defense troops by increasing BV of lower level troops.
RWWC proposes the following:
1) RWWC will take the responsibility of researching this technology and gain the proprietary license of it. 2) Foreign Power credit will be sought from Sweden, our ally, for 50% of the remaining amount because we also promised to research Printing Press and help them in Seafaring 2 (once we get "1" done first). If this credit is not received, it does not change the outcome however. 3) RWWC will be completely responsible for the SCI and MGN costs of the new advance. RWWC seeks that the advance takes no more than end-1627 to complete. 4) To gain the SCI, RWWC will issue new shares. The current number of shares is 2,200 and the new shares will be issued at 8 mil/share (17.6 bil valuation). While the valuation may seem high, it is just a workout of RWWC cashflow: - At 2% discount rate, the profit should be 2%*17.6 bil = 350 mil (this is a good discount rate, higher than in gold, CON and prominent buildings); - The annual costs are 150 mil; - Therefore, the sales income from windows, carriages, cannons and soon muskets, should total 500 mil (150+350). If solely windows were being produced, this would correspond to 105,000 m/WIRS factory cost. If solely cannons, 24 mil factory cost; - In cash flow method, the technologies, buildings, land, NPC and the future growth are not valued, but of course their value is high. Once the proposal is accepted by the Mayor, it will be possible to send SCI to RWWC ( GIVE SCI amount RWWC). Amount needs to be divisible by 40 because SCI is treated at being worth its game book value, 0.2 mil. We do not need money directly, only SCI.Infrastructure/Travel - Engineering - 7.5k SCI remaining - This will allow for new NPC types, possible efficiency in building, and alternate promotion paths for OTH/SPE.
The Mayor has committed 2,500 SCI from the town for this project - this is a very important advancement that can lead to additional advancements Please consider contributing to this project
The King has given: give sci 500 town [SCI-ENG]Please others fulfill your duty inb4 the Jubilee!
It should be explored if Sweden could possibly grant credit to this one as well (but if one is possible only, to the muskets which needs more). Lucky us to have made this alliance now as Polonia is anyway in disarray and Rossiyans are not even grateful and continued to harass us when we were harassing their enemies! I am already liking the Swedish, they seem fair guys! General Science - Printing Press - 5k SCI remaining - Treaty with GA will require this and will supply 1/2 of required SCI (5k)
University is happy to take on this project and all SCI sent towards it ( GIVE SCI amount UNIVERSITY [S-PP]). To the contributors, Printing Press distribution shares will be issued, and they will entitle to copies of future issues coming out from the press! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Just as planned in 1606!

Your Majesty, The Church is concerned at the fortifications Swedish forces are building on the Great River, following the peace treaty that was signed between HKM Gustaf Adolf and Crypto Kingdom. It has become clear that Sweden intends to keep encroaching upon your Majesty's lands, as they are continuing building fortresses at the so called Pildiski and Sankt Gustaf Adolfsburg sites, allowing them control of the river. The treaty allows us free passage on the river, but the Church views it as extremely lopsided: Sweden now enjoys de facto control over parts of the counties of Tavastia and Stonehaven; outright control of the river mouth, without which those counties are denied the access to the Östersjön; the ability to deny us crossing of the river at no notice, with us having the ability to do likewise. Moreover, reports are trickling in of low level banditry and other lawlessness in the north counties, which the Church suspects to be encouraged by Swedish forces in order to undermine your Majesty's ability to maintain order in his own land, as well as stymie Crypto Kingdom's ability to administer, and, ultimately, maintain its claim to the counties. It is the Church's view that this treaty, as implemented, is a ruse by HKM Gustaf Adolf to cement his control over part of Crypto Kingdom, as well as giving Sweden a strong base of operations for further conquest once they are in a better position. Indeed, the Church feels the objective of the campaign has not been attained, as Sweden now enjoys control of the river: The objective of the campaign is clear: To deny the use of Great River to the Swedes and establish it for us.
Sweden is even now racing to continue work on their upstream outpost, which hadn't been included in the treaty, where only the river mouth settlement would be allowed to continue. As such, the Church requests that your Majesty consider the above, and consider making plans for recovering territory and control of those parts of Crypto Kingdom lost to the Swedes before any lasting damage occurs. The Knights Templars have been called back to Cryptotown, and the Holy Relics will be brought back very soon to the San Pietro Cathedral, now that the threat of an attack on the town has gone. A small guard will be left at the cathedral, as the Church is uneasy following the reports or rumours that the Royal Palace fire may have been started deliberately.

The Army reorganization report - OldDuchy - King - Zechariah - TavastiaHRH The Archduke Zechariah, AOD-Brig, has been appointed to command all forces north of OldDuchy, no matter who sponsored them. Himself he is attached as a Colonel to the Royal 1st Regiment (300 BV). The Regiment is stationed in The Great River area. The Royal Cannon Regiment (210 BV) continues to be responsible for the Citadel. It is stationary and commanded by a LTC. The Royal 2nd Regiment (160 BV) used to be a horse force and was doing well, but now we got more cannons from the foundry and this one is now expanded to a foot regiment type unit. At this battle value, it is still the most powerful rapid response unit, although the response is not so rapid any more. Commanded by an experienced COL and stationed in readiness in the Barracks in 3-C, the unit is ready to go wherever sent! The Royal Palace Guard (120 BV) is historically a no-horse, no-cannon unit. It now received a clear boost to BV nevertheless with the CO promoting LTC. The unit is garrisoned in the basement of the Royal Palace and actually received more space when the cooks etc. moved out of the east wing when the fire prompted moving of the royal household to the Palace of Culture & Science (right next to it, is the Royal 2nd garrison). There are 5 more units, but they are weaker due to this Regiment concept prioritizing large units, even if they are fewer. Also others except the 4 do not possess Most Ancient Aquilas with their higher bonus, so are smaller as a result. Their CO is also a MAJ, instead of COL/LTC. No cannons are allocated, etc. As a result, these units are only between 30-60 BV each, with special mention: HofM Shock Musketeers (60 BV) is a handpicked unit comprising of only 9 men, as follows: 1*MAJ 1*CAPT 1*LT 1*MSGM 1*SGTM 4*PTEM All 9 travel and (may) fight on horseback (100% mobility), although the muskets can be fired when on foot mainly. This unit will be the first response to any surprise threats. Altogether, King's forces are now about 1,020 BV (year ago: 850 BV). Both the number of sections and number of troops is actually down 5-10% at present: the nice increase of BV is due to musketeers, cannons, captured muskets (3) and promotions.

The Interrogation
We had been beating him all night. The filthy Troll had been trying to bribe Plathians to spread dissent among their friends and steal arms from our barracks. It wasn't a very good plan and we had caught Trolls before and they usually offered up a bunch of useless trivia when pressed for information -- but when we pressed this one for something useful, he uttered six words that changed my life,
"There are Dragons in White Cross"
I could barely contain my excitement. I ordered my MSG (an excellent tracker) to find the best sharp shooter we had and load up three horses with enough provisions to get us through the summer--we're going to White Cross.
He also mentioned that there is coast to the south of us, so I sent a SPE2 on horseback to gather intel--not to downplay the importance that new trade routes are for the future of Plath--it's just it's a dragon!
A MSG, a CPLM, and myself will be driving our horses hard into the night on our way to White Cross to meet the Marquees Noms and plan for this historic hunt.

Historical number of Badges (the ones that consist of both a decoration and a token) has been 6, but at this once, we will be opening 4 more! Let's see how many can claim they have all the 10 badges!Historical ones that cannot be awarded any moreGJB (14) Golden Jubilee Badge, for the ones present in IRC session in 1450 FBB (20) First Builder Badge, first builders in TMA Cryptotown, number fulfilled in 1468 Historical ones that will be reactivated "soon"HB - Homebuilder Badge, for builders of their homes Historical ones that will be reactivated in the 225th JubileeTB - Throneroom Badge, for characters who have been in the Throne Room of the King in the Royal Palace (Throne Room was not destroyed in the earthquake nor in the fire) KFB - King's Favor Badge, for characters who are helpful and donate to common causes etc, earning King's Favor CB - Castlebuilder Badge, for characters who own a building with a floor area of 400 sqm New onesQJB - Quasquibicentenary Jubilee Badge, for the ones fulfilling the "good character requirements" for the Jubilee and thus being invited to the Main Party in the summer of 1625 (invite counts, so the character may be absent) GCB - Gold Collector Badge, for characters who possess 100 different gold coins SCB - Silver Collector Badge, for characters who possess 30 different silver coins CCB - Copper Collector Badge, for characters who possess 10 different copper tokens. The silver and gold coins will not be changed. The number of COT/COM different items (currently: 220 because all historical badges and medals have been unique) will be reduced drastically by merging the instances to several items. The Town will appoint someone with powers to award Medals of the Game in MG-3, MG-4, and MG-5 classes. These will also become tokens. Badges have been awarded only once when the achievement is first gained. Medals of the Game can be had multiple times (with multiple tokens), but never in a lower class than already awarded, same is ok.

VEG has spoiled, the next spoil (about 100%) is in the end of next month, and after that, all the VEG are super-healthy again. Town found a cache of Meat, which is for sale at 5,000 m while supplies last. Same for Mead, which also was produced to all DIS owners.
PRE and loot from the counties has been divided to the owners. Next month is the best time to announce plans how to combat the challenges. The army in the north will consolidate the gains (especially Stonehaven county which was left to us by military conquest, but also Tavastia where bread and horses might be gained) and clear the Rossiyans in the woods. All town sites will be continued.
Having lost its possible town site (Threestone, which was given to the Swedes) and seeing that another one was taken (The Hanseatic Town of Riga), NL army will move to the south exploring the rest of the county. NL has 2 army units, 100 BV will stay in Riga and 160 BV go to the south.
King's Royal 2nd Regiment (160 BV) will aid the main army to clear the Rossiyans in the OldDuchy area. The Shock Musketeers will be sent to bypass the "Aaspere road outpost" from the south, to gain more intelligence there.
The noble promotions for the Jubilee have not (all) been decided, so action now can still decide it in your favor!

A MSG, a CPLM, and myself will be driving our horses hard into the night on our way to White Cross to meet the Marquees Noms and plan for this historic hunt.
Awaiting the TravellersIt had been a long time since The Marquess had heard from the last two of the specialists that were out discovering the secrets of the County of White Cross. They had initially landed in the Fire Borough and just last year heard from the Specialist that had found the Water Borough. He had been hearing rumors (from travellers coming from the County of Plath) while enjoying a pint of beer the inn at White Cross that there were dragons in White Cross. He thought for sure that *if* there were dragons these would have been found in the Fire Borough, but nothing had been found...yet. Perhaps this was the opportune time for the Specialist sent to the Earth Borough to return with news (of dragons?). *crickets* It was time to take action with the areas he knew about, as it was all he had to go on at this point. He wanted to be prepared by the time Sir Crichton and his forces arrived in White Cross. His plan was simple: if Sir Crichton wanted to go out to slay a dragon, he would accompany him to not only support his plan, but to search the Fire Borough for the precious gems that must be in this vast land. He would benefit from the added protection of Sir Crichton's troops, and at the same time his small armada would help protect his companion's troops. The Marquess planned to bring 3 x PTE (Private), 3 x PTEM (Musketeer), 1 x CPLM (Musketeer Corporal), and 1 x MSGM (Musketeer Master Sergeant). ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cultwine.com%2Fmedia%2Fcatalog%2Fcategory%2Fzzz-resized10754rubies.jpg&t=665&c=-TyqoA--cyORdA) The key to this was to do some recon and find out the BV of the dragon (if they could find one). Once they knew the BV, they could then return back to the home base and plan out the attack. Slaying a dragon is not an easy task, so particular care needs to be taken in order to come back alive. Knowing this was a risk, he gave one of his recently-won baronetcy's to his son Cooper, who was managing an estate. This would at least put his oldest son into the ranks of nobility in case the worst happened...

Mint your Coppers!
The Royal mint has a monopoly on coins, badges and the like. About 20 new gold coins are coming to the market per decade, also about 12 new silver coins and an irregular number, perhaps 10 new copper tokens. Most golds and silvers are according to the schedule, while coppers can be contracted from the Mint by anyone at the following pricing (you can decide the exact number to be made though): 20 mil : Up to 100 25 mil : Up to 700 (1*KMT gives this many tokens when smelted) 30 mil : Up to 1400 35 mil : Up to 3500 40 mil : Up to 7000 The runs for up to 1400 instances are Most Elaborate quality, quantities more than that: Elaborate. Mint will keep 5 instances (mint copies) for 10 years and is then free to do whatever with them. (2 go to King and are not coming back, the 1 is kept in the Mint, it is being considered that 1 would be sent to the CryptoMuseum.)
All new copper tokens go to the same collection series that already includes the following: CT1454 - Construction of the Town Hall - 100 exist CT1566 - Royal CryptoArmy Centenary - 100 exist CT1600 - Bronze Reconstruction Medal - 150 exist CT1613 - Token of Remembrance - 50 exist CT1614 - In can we trust - 420 exist CT1616 - HM 250th birthday - 200 exist CT1619 - Cryptonic monero - 790 exist
The years 1621, 1622, 1623 and 1624 are now free! Grab yours by pinging me! Example of the info below mintage=300 name=Castlebuilder Badge desc=Bronze medallion about 15 gram specialNote=Castlebuilder Badge is awarded to people who build great buildings - currently 400 sqm needed
Discussion
It may seem that it is a daunting task to collect 100 gold coins, and an easy one to collect 10 coppers. This is not correct, though. Gold has ~100 common coins available and ~50 rares of mintage=20. Because of so many rares, the prices of those, which are not especially historical, are actually very affordable and may be got only a tad higher than gold spot price. At present, the main obstacle for gold collecting is the tight deadline in getting the coveted GCB1625 (since these will only be awarded this one year): Only one year from this post (168 realhours). And the other challenge is of course related to firepower - 100 gold coins' collection is definitely a 500+ CKG undertaking.
With silver, the challenge is doable with some money - silver coins cost less than golds, are mostly not rare or even almost rare (in fact half of them being present in 100 or more instances). If a later date badge is acceptable, the whole silver set is probably obtainable by paying rather little premiums. Since silver does not have a generally accepted midprice, it is more difficult to determine "premium" though. TS162 conversion price is 0.11 mil/CKS.
With coppers, without existing set of 6 badges, it is actually very hard to collect 10 different, unless the owners of COTxxxx supply the market (even if they do, COT are from 1360-1450 era mostly, so not dirtcheap regardless, based on the age alone). The majority of coppers are not only most-very rare, but also were awarded one by one to characters, who regard them as heirlooms, and these characters are rich! So especially as the King also does not appreciate that the original holder sells the badges, each one coming to the market is a surprise so having blanket bids patiently waiting may be an option.
The King's Coinshop is currently busy updating the bids and asks (in CKS/token), this does not however prevent you from planning your strategy meanwhile! ADD: DONE!

Meeting in White Cross
We arrive in White Cross and greet the Marquees Noms and the men he's gathered for support. It's been a long, hard ride, but we are anxious to know if there is a dragon (or dragons), and if are they are the monsters supposed by those from the West or helpful and wise as supposed by those from the East. Noms entertains us with stories of fire-red rubies and great volcanoes that spew fire towards the sky--I can only imagine the coming days and weeks will bring untold fortunes of new experience.
There's no news from my specialist traveling south, but the Troll we were interrogating said the sea was black as coal and the southern land pregnant with riches. I wonder which news is more fantastic, but hold out hope that Plath's destiny is one of wealth and expansion.

Deaths 1624
A terrible wind of death has swept through our Kingdom, and the following characters have been found dead. Since the number is so large, the writing of obituaries is left for the people who knew them. Only the characters in L6 or higher are mentioned by name, others by number only:
Sir James, TMA Earl, 249 years (L14) TMA Sir Febo, AOK-K, GJB, KFB, HB, TB, FBB, 246 years (L14) Lord drfred, 235 years (L13) TMA Lord serje, 235 years (L13) Sailor Damoiseau, 231 years (L6) Lord iluvbitcoins, 208 years (L13) Accounting Wizard nikke1, 158 years (L7) Master Haridimous, 121 years (L6) Master Medusa, 121 years (L6) Sir Quaid, 30th/I Bt of CK, 49 years (L12)
81,89,96,98,103,106,116,117,121,124,125,131,140,147,148,149,150,152,153,165,166.
If you have claimed your character (normal case), you can continue to login for 30 more realdays for transfering the assets to a new character and doing whatever you wish. No need to eat and drink.
If you did not claim your ancient character during the claims period (August 2015 - January-17 2016), it has already been given to Town, who will decide what to do with it. The current plan is to keep the characters alive for storytelling purposes, and when they die, liquidate the assets and spend the proceeds for the marketing of the game.

North Face County Trading Post
"What are we PREpping this area for anyway? There is nothing of use here!" -
The vast area and absence of usable materials and production capabilities in the county has forced the Duke to slow operations and preparations for the county. With the current development and remaining staff, the trading outpost will be maintained. In addition, the area will be guarded and protected by a smaller force. One day we may return to finish what was started and maybe something useful may be discovered!
In the meantime, the trading output here will provide access to information and possible produce from the area.
"Tensions in the South" With the absence of resources and the mounting pressures in the Kingdom and to the South, a decision has been made to move the majority of the troops out of the North Face county.

Ezekiel joins the game
Who is this nobleman that is dragging himself to the town in a very bad shape?! His story does not make sense at first, but soon it becomes clear he is son to the Archduke Zechariah. Zechariah is leading the army in the north and cannot confirm, but the new guy clearly behaves the same. He had been living in Polonia since birth 35 years ago. Originally it was intention for him to come to CryptoTown but then the things happened, earthquakes and such. He had been learning business and noble life and life was indeed good, until... Shortly after the news of CK flipping sides to Sweden had reached his homestead, the relations started to chill. It did not take long than his enemies (yes, in Polonia, everyone has them, even the most jovial people) had organized a mob to plunder his house and themselves they took the titles etc. with the story being that he is dead. Which he barely escaped and, penniless, turned to his fatherland that he had never seen. When Zechariah heard of the story, he instructed about noble life in the Kingdom, saying: I give you 1,000,000,000 m, that will get you started. Don't spend it all at one time, it looks like much but there is so much to do in the game: Zeroth, buy a Baronet and establish yourself in the ranks of nobles here as well. First, take care of your consumables economy. Why buy at ask, be nimble and accumulate a cellar of wines and small stashes of foods and caches of wisdom instead. Second, A house you must have, and it can be a big one, because it produces CUL for the whole area, so is not a drag to the economy. Third, Even better for CUL production are NPC's that are also more random but your economy is big enough to handle the variance. NPC's are also handy for quests and encounters. Fourth, A noble blue suit, so check out what is available and inquire the custom one prices as well, it's rumored they last longer and at least you can put some gold and silver in it. Two suits is better than one, but if you cannot buy but one, have a white backup suit if possible, it might get you out of trouble if your only blue suit spoils right when the bailiff walks past. Fifth, If possible, get a carriage. And yes, it is possible, but getting the horses (2*H3 for 2-H, 4*H5 for 4-H) is expensive. If you need to buy a horse instead - and why not since you are young - go for the best you can find. And have a sword made for you according to preferences. Sixth, As a noble, you are not allowed to have the commoner food production items (PIG, DIS, S-CAN), only S-VE1. But buy that if you can, it will provide fresh vegetables, even the early ones. Seventh, Eating and drinking are most what you do, so while Ming China is still reasonably available, try to collect a nice service of that. Silver cutlery, even just for you, is important because it will turn black when there is poison in the food. More can be bought when means allow. Eighth, Try to get as many badges as you can, they historically correlate with getting to very high levels. Ninth, CON and CKG are the places to park the excess wealth. Their dividend is not as high as in many other assets, but they have appreciated in value more than most of them. We will occasionally follow how Ezekiel's home-making operations continue. He has also been issued a Quest, which might have something to do with avenging his enemies who stole his things and almost took his life...
