Expand to Rurals and Non-Cities he means ;)

Obviously. Did I really need to point this out?  8)

Edit: After all, they can make more gold by selling the food to D'Hara than by taking Twainville.

Expand! Estates aren't limiting you anymore. Quick, double that food output!
We have plans for the spring.

And of course you would want us to expand to rural regions, but to defend them we need Twainville as outpost for our forces. Because travel times are killing me.

Doesn't matter if they are overrun every now and then. Expand! Expand to the rurals!

Slow and steady seems to be more of the 'Moots strategy. Very accurate and organized, too.
New Harte Family: Eros (Vix Tiramora, EC), Nyx (Fronen, BT), Chance (Avernus, DW), Scopuli (Gothica, Colonies)

Old Harte Family: Hyperion (Aurvandil, DW), William (IVF, BT), Katrina (Fronen, BT), Callandor II (Ohnar West, FE)

That was old estates, now we must expand!

The only thing stopping us from TOing the lighthouse right away is that the capital must be moved first.

Why?

Why?

Distance from the Capital I would assume. They want to make sure they don't lose the region to control issues.
Previously of the De-Legro Family
Now of representation unknown.

Port Raviel is the old capital. Paisly was only a conveniant capital when we lost all of our eastern lands. Travel times from Paisly to the Lighthouse are quite considerable...

Plus, I'd rather Paisly take the hits for the capital move before the army is busy doing the TO than after.

Letter from Francis Adams Kinsey (9 hours, 24 minutes ago)
Message sent to the Bankers of Dwilight (15 recipients)
D'Hara's warehouses cannot hold anymore. We're already over-capacity and seeing food rots.

We are working on building more warehouses.

Sir Francis Adams Kinsey
General and Fiduciary of D'Hara, Duke of Port Raviel, Marshal of the Dragon Corps

What's the point in rushing it when D'Hara isn't in a position right now to buy the vast quantities (well, large quantities) of food that Barca already has. We'll take rural regions. That's practically all that's left. No need to rush. Fighting monsters and undead is more fun than sitting in a region for a few days, though the related elections probably would provide a bit more entertainment.

Build those warehouses a bit quicker and we'll take more lands to provide more food (for more gold). While Barca has enough food to last for quite some time without taking into account fresh harvests, we at a good point to bide our time, build our strength and be ready to move quickly once the roads get better. Course, it will be ten days on the trot with no taxes in an hour's time, if the same problem continues. Should be intewesting.

Finn.

You need warehouses?

Bah! D'Harans are so bad at communicating.

Hireshmont offered to give ya'll a 2,000 gold zero interest loan from his personal reserves two weeks ago for warehouse construction. Didn't Marche tell you?

Just ship that 2000gp down to Madina and we'll send you our food instead.   Feasts all winter long in D'Hara!

He did, but I guess Hireshmont and Marche never concluded those talks :P

We always need more food. Having more food now means our Cities will grow like rabbits (the only thing those peasants are good at), which means much higher food needs next Winter ;)

And if we can not keep up with the demands for next winter, those rabbits will starve to death again.
