- Advisor Ghrim: Your loyal subjects work hard to collect resources for you. Every day they bring what they have collected to the castle. The resources which they collect are coal from the rocks to the north, maple logs from the trees
- Advisor Ghrim: to the east, herbs from the garden just outside the castle, and tuna and swordfish fished at the port to the south. Etceteria has also pledged you teak and mahogany logs from their trees to the north, and seeds
- Advisor Ghrim: from their farm to the south. They are paid from the money in the coffers; each day, one-tenth of the money in the coffers is distributed to them. A maximum of 75k is paid to your subjects and the Etceterians, and the
- Advisor Ghrim: coffers can store up to 7.5 million gp. Another thing which affects the amounts of resources collected is your approval rating. The more your subjects love you, the more they will be motivated to work hard. King Vargas
- Advisor Ghrim: would often go and help out his subjects in their daily tasks, when he was still able to do so, and they loved him dearly for it. Finally, you can choose how much of their efforts your subjects devote to each resource; of
