Greetings!
Running a business is never easy, especially during times of war. Despite the profitability of blacksmithing, your income and success will depend not only on your forging skills, but also your ability to adapt to any circumstance.
Each new day may be different from the previous one thanks to the event system. Life in the village goes on as usual, seasons change, armies raise and lower new flags, and Arthur continues to fan fires and forge yet another order. Here are just some of the events that may occur throughout your gameplay session:
- Holidays. As part of the preparation for the festivities, tents are set up, fences are fixed and decorations installed. While this sounds fun, it also means that wood has rapidly increased in price. If you really need to restock your supplies, prepare to fork out. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on the relationships you’ve established), if the holiday event is associated with any of the game’s factions, their representatives will come to your shop more often.
- Sowing and harvesting. Peasants everywhere! They come in pairs and will usually pay for their order with vegetables, but they may be willing to part with coin for the right tools.
- Floods, forest fires, rainstorms - each one affects your life and your business in a different way. If the roads are washed out, for example, most of the customers simply will not be able to reach you.
All this, along with local clashes, celebrations, large construction projects and more, will make Arthur's life incredibly diverse and...interesting. Each event has a variety of consequences, both positive and negative. The ability to adapt and take advantage of any situation is what distinguishes a real businessman. Good luck in this difficult endeavor!
Respectfully,
