You just inherit this land. First it was your grand father who built here a small fortified tower overlooking the river. Really he was no more than a bandit who plundered peoples and merchands crossing the river in the area. It's the lone area you could cross the river at miles around. with time he took only a tax to "protect" people travelling in this land.
Your grand father was probably smart since the local overlord eventually appointed him as the area lord in exchange of is alliegence and ... nobody know what else.
Now things have change, La tour du Teil is about in ruin and brigands are real maters of this land. Fact is you have inherit of a devastated land.
Nevertheless your cousin Enguerand d'Aubenas claim his supposed rights for this fief.
The overlord support you in this quarrel, however nothing is free. For his long life made of good and less good things your overlord decided to build an abbaye and to go at the crusade for the forgive of his sins ...(sss).
You have, as a vassal, to help him. You are in charge to collect stones for the abbaye, but also money, food, weapons and gold for your overlord and his knights go on the holy land.
However first to dispute your authority will probably be the bandits. Dont forget your cousin Enguerand, Probably he bet if you fail, overlord will appoint him instead of you. So to
think he could help your failure ...
All must by ready at least for August 1096.
It's really a kind of stronghold1 ecovasion map for stronghold 2. Invasions are more a treat for your economy than a danger for your lord. Like in Orkney, it would be very diffulct
to reach honor needed without import wine and wheat. You can both sell or buy two of the other requierement : stone and cheese.
However you're more likely to sold the first and buy the second. Wool is probably a good way to gain money. Testing the map I built over twentie sheepfold for a global
population of 120+. From a game to an other the critical requierement able to make the mission fail can be different, depend what bandit or invaders have destroyed in the process.
Iron could here be critical.
Unofficial goal is to rebuild the castle in stone.
