That's actually just the problem. I didn't reap anything. I am the second King, I am building off of the job of the first. Also, I did not ravage the city, in fact, I explicitly asked them not to completely destroy the city while I was in Sirion. Obviously, that was to no avail. My realm was put at the mercy of military strategists who would not have to deal with these consequences later down the line. That, indeed is part of the problem.
So, you think you're the only one in BM who's ever been screwed over due to the actions of others he cannot control?
It can be incredibly aggravating sometimes, but it is all part of the game.
