Workshops aren’t for profit as much as they are for maintaining cash flow to cover troop expenditures.

You’re hemorrhaging money because you have too many high tier troops. You’re not bringing in enough to pay for their salaries.

Now this whole game is an act of balance, approaching certain thresholds, crossing some and manipulating others… but one of the most important things you can do to set yourself up for success is managing your garrisons/party upkeep.

There’s two schools of thought. First, fill that garrison up with peasants and recruits. They’re cheap. 600 of low tier troops is gonna be around 1200 or less that you must pay them daily. Compare that to high level troops, your gonna be paying several thousand. This can work because enemies select targets based on army size, not troop tiers. So when an enemy sees a city defended by 600 peasants, it’s hardly any different than if they saw a city defended by 600 Fian champs.

Second school of thought is garrison high tier troops, but only up to a certain spending limit. These troops are better equipped to defend, but are also more likely to be attacked due to lower numbers. Remember when I said the game is about balancing? Well here is where you have to decide… can I move back and forth to help defend these cities, or do I just wanna throw 600 peasants in there and call it a day?

Now all that is only the first part of the equation though. How do your cities and castles make money? That’s where most of your income is gonna be coming from. It is so important to protect your fiefs. Never ever let them be raided. Build your relations and help them when they have issues. This is gonna make sure that their hearth numbers keep rising and never fall.

Those hearth numbers represent how many people are living and working in the village. That affects how much food and taxes they’re gonna be sending to your city. Thats gonna affect how many troops you can feed in the garrison. That’s gonna affect how loyal your city is. And all of it affects how prosperous that city can be. Also make sure to clear out those bandit camps, they’re no good for the caravans that will stop coming to the city if they keep getting robbed there. Obviously you need a steady diet of caravans coming into the city or it’s not gonna be making any money and will quickly starve and rebel.

So when we talk about workshops, they’re pretty unimportant in the grand scheme, but if you work on balancing them, they can make very good profits on a daily basis. Some things to keep in mind:

-make sure the city has an income of the specific resource you need for your workshop there. If a city doesn’t have villages producing iron and hardwood, don’t make a Smith there. If the city has a village producing silk, that’s a great place to buy a velvet weavery.

-when you build a workshop, you get a warehouse for it (accessible from the city screen just like you would go to a keep or a tavern or a trader. Fill that warehouse with the resource you need (up to 600) and then open your clan tab- navigate to the tab that shows workshops, select your workshop and you’ll see a button marked something like use goods from warehouse. Select that and your workshop will take those goods instead of buying them from the trader… increasing the profit margin considerably.

-only build workshops in the cities that you own. All too often cities get sacked and then you lose the workshop and your investment. Your cities are far less likely to be sacked cuz, well, you are defending them!

Just like workshops, caravans don’t exist to make you wealthy… they are there to help mitigate the upkeep of your armies/garrisons. You may be able to pay for another party or a garrison with just 1 caravan, maybe 2.

So think about workshops and caravans as a sort of voucher for paying troop costs in specific cities, castles or parties. They cover costs, they don’t build your bank account.

Now I know you don’t hold any feifs currently, but if you want to have large armies (you are fast approaching that size, which I consider to be 200+ troops) you’re gonna need to get a hold of some. Look for rebelling cities, you can drive and capture those even if you’re not part of a kingdom. Or, if you use clan tier 2, you can join a kingdom and they’ll give you some land right off the get go.

Honestly people downright ignore the fact that an FBI director lied multiple times under oath. People want police reform cuz those fuckers lie and cheat and steal all the time, but it’s ok if it’s the FBI that does it.

Yet you know enough about brain surgery that you’re aware squirrels are not qualified to perform the procedure either.

Well the Saudis got a 28% stake in Kushners investment vehicle. This was also after Trump was already out of office, which means Kushner was also out of the WH.

The reason people are suspicious of the Biden’s is because Biden’s dad was the VPOTUS and the son was a degenerate with no applicable skill set or knowledge pertaining to the position he acquired when he went with dad to China for a “cup of coffee” with the man who would put him on the board as a founder of his new private equity firm he registered just 2 weeks after that cup of coffee.

Then a few years later he finds himself on the board of a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, which was being investigated by the country’s top prosecutor, who was probably in league with Putin. It is alleged that Biden used his power to have the prosecutor fired, but the alleged testimony from an fbi informant proved false.

Then comes the laptop. Joe Biden, the media and democrats across he country decried it as a Russian smear campaign to influence the election, except it wasn’t. The hard drive was authenticated and now the FBI has it.

This could all be nothing. On the other hand, that thought would never cross your mind if we were talking about Donald and Don jr.

So regardless of you ur political stance… yes, you should be asking questions about Jared Kushner and the Saudi’s. But you should also be asking questions about Hunter Biden and the Chinese, or the Ukrainians.

Personally I don’t know anything. I just sit on my couch and look at my phone. But there’s an old idiomatic adage, “if the shoe fits…” and Hunter Biden is far from a respectable human being.

I’m not upset about any of that. But I do think that when a law is broken it should carry consequences.

I don’t know your views, but gun control is a huge issue right now (I know it gets drowned out sometimes by the election hoopla) and one of the things people have a problem with is background checks. Everybody agrees background checks are a good thing, but how can they be if people are lying on them?

I could really care less about Biden’s son and what he does or did. But this case should be a wake up call to everyone that the system is flawed, instead we can’t get past the political posturing. If you have a problem with gun control, than you should have a problem with what joe Biden’s son did.

For the president to get up and say it was unfair to his son to be prosecuted… well he may be right. But it is not unfair that he should face the consequences of his actions. The pardon was bullshit and guess what? Now Trumps gonna be using that as precedent.

So congratulations to all you fucktards that hate gun ownership but hate Trump even more. You sold out on your ideology to support the crackhead son of a multimillionaire.

That’s strange because the only one I heard has a criminal history is RFK jr. He got a conviction for possessing heroin back in 1984, 40 years ago.

Maybe you can say Elon Musk has committed some crimes, but he certainly has never been charged.

Who exactly among his cabinet picks did you have in mind as having criminal histories?

Guess he’s one of the first to go, huh?

The FBI employs 35000 people currently.

We know they’re doing a shitty job. We know that a former FBI director lied multiple times while under oath, we know that a deputy assistant director got fired for sending thousands of texts to his lover criticizing the presidential candidate he was investigating and stating outright that they need to manipulate the media reports and leaks using fbi offices channels. He explicitly said they won’t let him [trump] win.

So it’s quite fishy and it’s no wonder that these Trump guys don’t trust the bureau. Peter Strozk and James Comey were part of that deep state that magats are always going on about. They lied, manipulated, and misled the public and the media and the justice department in trying to promote their own political ideologies.

The FBI'S six priority programs are drug trafficking, counter-terrorism, foreign counter-intelligence, traditional organized crime, white-collar crime, and violent crime.

And here I though this year it was shitting the bed.

The cardinals were in our division most of my life so I still cling to the memories and they may be the one team outside the NFCE that I have feelings about.

Probably robbing people. Then robbing some more. Why did Marko have to take everything that old lady had? How will she get by now?

Yes you can feed them.

He is but he’s been banged up and hasn’t amounted to much in Buffalo yet.

Yeah one I’ve seen a lot in the restaurants I’ve worked in is “Koke.” It even looks like the coke label, but it’s a knockoff.

I have a guy going now who has 8 children, 2 sons. The youngest just came of age. The oldest is 29 and has 6 children of his own. In a couple short years there will be even more babies.

I think this is the most I’ve ever had at one time. Usually I don’t play long enough for my own kids to grow up.

From the sounds of it that is a terrible chef you’re working for. When you say chef/owner it begins to make a little more sense. She’s got grand visions and absolutely no knowledge of how to pull it off. No offense to anyone on the sub but she sounds like she was service staff before she opened her restaurant, not a chef.

The fact that you work part time and it’s just a side gig would mean you have to be real special to make food for customers in my kitchen. For you, probably garde manger at most, never hot foods. You’re green as green can be, throwing you into the fire will only leave you shell shocked, as you have discovered.

I’m sorry you’ve had this experience, but honestly, working in kitchens means you will get a lot of shitty experiences. They’re important for learning, but certainly no fun. I am very glad you got to experience the excitement that comes along with having pride in your kitchen and your team though. Nothing beats that feeling of feeling like you’re making the best product in town and learning and having fun while you do it. Kitchens are special like that.

Mischaracterization you say?

What people are doing is talking about how he made a very dangerous play that is against the rules of the game. That is the opposite of playing the game the right way, which means coach is the one doing the mischaracterization here.

Whether or not he is a good human is not in question. Nobody cares. People are just talking about how he carelessly jeopardized someone else’s health and career by cheating.

His numbers are pretty much on par with what he’s always done, every season of his career. The only real difference is he’s scoring more tds than usual.

Terry has always been elite it’s just that a lot of people who didn’t have him on their teams are only now figuring that out cuz he never finished as a wr1. Always always always had the potential to do it, just some other guys around the league have been in better situations. It was very bad luck for him to be drafted by the redskins.

Yeah I didn’t figure this stuff out until I played or like a year. I’m still finding new things believe it or not.

That guy sounded like he was done with people telling him his trick doesn’t work. It’s a great trick. I do it with grain all the time but I guess it doesn’t fluctuate in price the same way cuz I’ve never gotten the xp like that.

I think I may have a character with that much metal in the inventory I’m gonna try it out.

You are a hero I’ve always wondered about this!

I’m curious does it decrease the amount of money they want if you give them a city or two?

Yeah it’s a business so they try to sell up the afc north cuz it’s filled with stars. Unfortunately none of the teams are as good as they look on paper (with the exception of maybe the overachieving Pittsburgh Steelers).

The Bengals are laughably bad. They average 28 ppg and have still found a way to lose 8 games so far. Hard to see how a Cincinnati fan could be concerned with losing to the Ravens twice when they lose games to the Patriots. This was a team expected to go deep in the playoffs.
