You guys know Flooby is one of my Courts, right? I put it in there a long time ago, and Flooby approved my sheet several times.Although, seriously, I would prefer someone without my own intentional influence to be my Courtier (For the grand court), that way even if they disagree with something I do, they can speak it at the court, and anything else -- even their own opinions of my actions.I would think GM's would have the best NPOV. So, what do you say, Flooby?

I thought that was simple joke or placeholder, and forgot to ask about it.

I'd . . . *sniff* - I'd be honoured!

[The Nexerus]

Only have the military to do, now.

[FortunesFaded]

Okay, so I've been looking over the whole crop issue, and it does seem I made a huge error. I thought that peasants were given 1 food a year, not per season.

However, looking back and doing the numbers, if I have to give my peasants 4 food per annum, and they only produce 4.6 per annum (and that's only factoring in the farmers - the others are eating just as much for nothing), that means the most I will ever make surplus is 0.6 food a year?

Or is it that peasants produce 4.6 crops after deducting their own personal share?

0.6 surplus per peasant, yes.

Do you want me to make you a Taxes sheet so it does the work for you?

@Flooby, I demand that from now on, it costs 3 points (However much that is equal to in money), because the Taxes sheet literally fixes every and all issues, and it takes time and my brain to work. And my brain and work should not be in the same sentence. I've taken the classes to figure all the crap out for making these kind of documents and my brain still hurts from said classes. Here's a hint; I now work/have a job instead of go to college.

[Bikriki]

Well, I am quite interested in this and have started to create a profile for my lands. I'm having a bit of trouble to calculate annual crops and taxes though, but I am sure I'll figure it out somehow

[Heyitsjiwon]

Its (your fief's population - city population in said fief)*crop production constant,

Example:

Fief A
Scrubland (4.2 crop per population if I remember correctly)
Base Population: 3000
No upgrades
has 1 city with 1000 population

So, Annual Crop production from Fief A is (3000-1000)*4.2=8400.

Now, your population has to eat, so your yearly estimated surplus from each fief is Total food produced - Population of fief*4

So, in Fief A's case it would be 8400-3000*4=-3600 (This means that this fief consumes more food than it generates and should raise a red flag)

Taxes is pretty straight forward. For every single population in a fief. You get 1 bulli per turn. Cities is a bit more complicated and calculated differently from your general tax. It's your city population times the multiplier that your city's wealth provides. So, let's say that Fief A's city is a "Fair" city that has a multiplier of 4.

So, you taxes for Fief A would be.
Part 1:
(3000-1000)*1=2000 (This is your tax income from your general fief population

Part 2: Your city is taxed separately from your general fief population
1000*4=4000

So, Fief A's taxes for 1 turn would be a total of 6000 bullis.

[King Solterra]

So Boerd said
What are you talking about, Tucks?

I create automatic taxes sheets. Literally you put one number in and everything changes. It's useful to see if you can handle more troops or even more of anything. If you want 500 troops it will tell you how much it will cost you without doing anything yourself. An example of a messy one is with my Kingfom post, check the taxes there.

If you want to lnow more, inquire with Flooby

[Flooby Badoop]

Is done. Much good. Very yes?

Vassals of House Vasa

[ The crest of House Villsvin; a couped boar's head over a brown field. It is meant to symbolize their connection with the land, as the boar is a valuable animal present there. Their motto is 'One Family, Many Bloods.' ]

Lord Askr is the lord of Villand, Nyhjem, Bjornholm, Vestland, Ostland, Villsvintre, Ulvtre, Vinhill, Holmgard, Vestfelt, Ostfelt, Ostmars, Noordmars, Dodtre, Brunfelt, and Lapfelt. He is age 44, tall of height, and heavy of weight in muscle, fair of complexion, blond of hair, blue of eye, and possesing of a huge, bushy beard. He is married to Lady Erika, age 42, a lowborn girl by the family name Beiderdottir. He has two sons [ Baldr, age 18, Pengut, age 16 ], and two daughters [ Freya, age 24, Bucgan, age 21 ]. His daughters are married to knights under House Lilla, but his sons have yet to be decided for. He has one sister [ Idun, age 46 ], who has one son [ Haldor, age 27 ], and one daughter [ Cori, age 24 ], both of whom are married, and with children of their own. His mother, [ Rhianfelt, age 65 ] is still alive, and acts as the House's religious advisor.

House Villsvin formed when the leader of a Suehan tribe settled on the coast slightly north of House Vasa's lands. Though they fought in all the Vasa's wars, they were more focused on settling their new land. They had a vast expanse with which to accomplish this, but the land was cold, and infertile, so settlement seemed more and more difficult. But, due to its isolation, the land attracted many settlers, not all of Suehan birth. Giants exiled from their tribes, or cast out for weakness; clansmen of the northern forests escaping conflict; Ironstone islanders looking to get away from the island; and even those from Lundland's south came to settle the land.

The Villsvins now own a vast domain of numerous groups and people, and the blend of exiled peoples has created a unique culture; a hardy people with fierce pride in their new home, who all came from lands where strength was respected above all else. The people of Villsvin's lands are starting to create their own identity and traditions, but for now, there are ethnic differences to reconcile before they are a truly united people.

Lord Askr himself is perhaps the embodiment of this. His father was Suehan, but his mother was of Lundish birth. Were it not for her tanned complexion, she could easily pass for a Suehan.

Askr is a very physically powerful man, and believes that strength and honor are the most important qualities any many can have. Despite this, he is a very selfless man, and cares deeply for his people, whom he sees as his duty to protect and help in any way he can. His sense of justice is unerring, and sees all sides of an argument whenever disputes arise amongst his people. As a vassal, he has never doubted your right to rule, and has always done right by you, in battle, and in asserting your will.

Askr was unlucky in marriage, however, for he could find no Lundish lady of noble birth to marry when he was young. His wife was and still is quite beautiful, with fair complexion and hair, but she is a very petty and nagging woman. Askr is embarassed by her, but not so much as he is by his children.

His eldest daughter, Freya, is a huge girl, standing six and a half feet, and weighing nearly 200 pounds. She seemed born with an axe in her hand, and her prowess as a warrior is astounding, having won the last kingdom-wide tourney held by House Trisch. But while not simple, she isn't the brightest tool in the shed, and talks in a slow, deep speech. Relations do not come easily to her, and despite being married for eight years, has still yet to bear a child.

Bucgan is very beautiful girl; voluptuous, fair-skinned, freckled, with short, dark hair, and darker eyes. She has no traits of any known family members, living or dead, and it is thus speculated that she is bastard, though no-one dare's say this publically, for fear of Askr's reprisal. But if she doesn't take after her parents in looks, than certainly in personality: she is very stubborn, self-centered, and demanding. She is married to a handsome knight under House Lilla, and has one son [ Phillip, age 4 ], and one daughter [ Maud, age 1 ].

Baldr, the heir to House Villsvin, is a disappointment to Askr. He shows no talent for anything but the lute and song. While both are charming skills, they are certainly not very useful to a ruler. This doesn't seem to bother Baldr, who flits about the land, travelling as if being whisked by the wind. He has a number of girls interested in him, but so far, only a few ambitious lesser lords have expressed a desire to see their daughters wed to him.

And last of Askr's children is Pengut, of whom Askr could not resent more. He is a thin boy, with very fair features, and a passion for fine wine, finer music, and the finest dress. He once spent such a sum on new outfits, that Askr paraded him about the castle's village naked, to teach him some humility.

But Pengut is not a fool. Quite the opposite, he seems possessed of great cunning, which also greatly angers Askr, who chastises him for fighting with a sharp tongue, instead of a sharp blade. He tortures his servants, and speaks ill of everyone behind their backs, but is very superficially charming, being very good at knowing what others want. He thus has many friends at court and abroad. He has never spoken ill of his family, and in fact, refuses to speak about them at all.

[ The crest of House Sorensen; a bend sinister, red in the north, blue in the south, with the border colours of either switched. A scimitar is placed over the red, and a seax in the blue. It is meant to symbolize their strength, and history as pirates and raiders. Their motto is 'Live By the Sword.' ]

Lord Hansel is the lord of Featherbay, Smuggler's Cove, Ripdash, and Hightide. He is 34 years old, tall of height, average of weight, light of complexion, sandy-brown of hair, and brown of eye, with a thick, pointy moustache, and a left eye made of glass. He was married to Lady Uda of House Argyll, but she has recently died while travelling to Orkneyjar by boat. She was age 40. Hansel has two sons [ Wallace, age 18, Bruce, age 16 ], and one daughter [ Olivia, age 14 ]. Wallace is married, and has one son [ Dagran, age 3 ], but Bruce and Olivia have yet to be spoken for. He has two brothers [ Erik, age 39, Leif, age 37 ], both of whom are married, and have children of their own.

House Sorensen 'settled' the lands closer to the mainland during the Suehan migration. Even before the migration, they had been known as an agressive tribe, but with more prey than ever, they became like children in a sweet's bakery. Their lifeblood and fortunes have risen and fallen with their raiding, which is exactly what gave birth to their motto.

Unique to their House, however, is how unlike they are to their Suehan brethren. Having had the most contact with the Lundish people, they seem to have blended with them the most out of all the other Suehan peoples. Their language, accents, dress, mannerisms, and traditions are all a bastard blend of Lundish and Suehan, making them seem quite foreign to all they meet.

This is fine for their purposes, for their lands are isolated, locked off from the mainland proper by caves, rocky hills, and jutting coastlines.

Lord Hansel himself is a violent and vicious man, who has murdered his fair share of innocent sailors and merchants. He had his left eye stabbed not two years ago during a fight at sea, and now wears a painted glass eye. It barely fits his eyesocket, and is unnerving to look at for long, but that was perhaps his intention. He appeared to marry his wife, six years his senior, solely for her money, which is spent on numerous new ships for his ever-growing fleet. The two were known to despise each other, and he seems to shed no tears over her recent death.

His two sons, Wallace and Bruce, fancy themselves knights of renown, and whenever they aren't on the tourney circuit, go off on sprees of pillaging with their men-at-arms.

Olivia is even more unstable and violent: she constantly seeks to isolate herself, and only leaves the family manor at night, where she goes out and steals trinkets. Everyone knows about this behaviour, but no-one dares speak against Lord Hansel. Where the girl keeps her ill-gotten treasures, however, is a subject of many a drunk commoner's tale.

[ The crest of House Argyll; a red ship on top of blue waters, over a white field. It is meant to symbolize the House's seafaring nature. Their motto is 'We Brave All Waters.' ]

Lord Andor Argyll is the lord of Gammelstien, Stienenkysten, and Saugard. He is seventeen years old, average of height and weight, pale of skin, black of hair, and dark of eye. He is unmarried, and has no living immediate family.

House Argyll has been a proud house for several decades, ruling its fiefs justly. But in a scarcely believable accident, nearly all its members perished at sea, on a boat destined for Dyflinn. The only member of the family not on the boat at the time was the third and youngest son, Andor. Everyone at court has accused Andor of mass murder, as he is known well for his paranoia and nervousness, but Andor denies these rumours vehemently, claiming that although he did not get along well with his family, he had no reason to kill any of them, for he did not even wish to inherit his father's titles.

Indeed, there is some truth behind his claim, for Andor has long professed taking the vows upon coming of age. He can do no such thing as the head and last member of House Argyll.

Andor hasn't had much time to prove himself to you, and even if he did, he has been far too busy avoiding the accusations and perceived (or perhaps real) attempts on his life. But he does seem to be a very paranoid a neurotic boy.

Welcome, my lord.

*bows deeply*

Tea will be served at noon, just after the tourney. Do come watch. Ser Janster decapitated three knights just this morning, and his rival, Ser Balmy, is trying to catch up to him!

@ jiwon/Fortunes: Aye, the math is correct.

@ So Boerd/Tucker: Yes, Tucker made a sheet to help people with their math. The sheet works, but I unfortunately have no way of giving it to others, as the format it was sent to me in was via a read-only google drive document.

*hands the mic back to Tucker*

Also, I can't force people to spend points to use your sheet. Besides, if everyone has a least a vague idea of how the math works for this game, it helps avoid confusion, and promote clever ploys. And I do so love clever ploys. . .

The next vassals will Ashgan's, followed by Outcast's. I wanted to save the best for last, but I've had so many ideas for Ashgan's vassals, I thought I'd just write the descriptions today, then finish the math tomorrow on my day off. Might as well just guzzle coffee all of Thursday and get Nex's done too, since I've finally come to terms with having no energy after work.

Looking to start this over the weekend, if everyone is ready by then. I'll issue out a role call come, say, Friday night. Everyone who answers by Sunday will be added to the map, and everyone who's on the map will be in the RP. Kosher, all?

[King Solterra]

I can't make a generic sheet to give out. There are too many variables to take into account. Even if I did, there would probably be too much or too little information for players

[So Boerd]

Wait, who is this Fergus everyone is accusing of mass murder?
