We needed to be able to secure Krimml before we could transfer the capital from Ashforth, and that meant getting walls around the city along with a garrison to hold them. That was anything but easy because we were all tapped out of family gold, our only RCs were those in Ashforth itself and population levels were critically low leading to minimal tax revenues. I was surprised we were able to turn things around in anything like the timeframe we were committed to.
