castle.

Trade: If you have enough market places you can sell and buy goods.
From one market place up > Food rations

The prices for food depend an the success of the harvest. A poor harvest means high prices.
Compared with them the prices for iron and weapons are stable.

Army: Here you can recruit soldiers. But think of the rule that tells you, that every soldier needs
his own weapon. At least you loose one inhabitant by recruiting one. Keep in mind that you
need 200 inhabitants of free disposal in your country.

Food rations: Here you can regulate teh distribution of food for the inhabitants. The more food
you distribute, the more popular you become. This also means more children and more
immigrants for your country.

coordinated with the number of food rations for your country. Beware! Always give as much
food as you have promised before, otherwise your popularity will sink.

Taxes: The lower you keep the taxes the more popularity you achieve. The inhabitants wil stay
in your country and more immigrants will come, but then you also have less money in the
treasure chamber.

number is almost the some.
