These explorers, eh? Here today, gone tomorrow! All these treasure searches and expeditions! A little groundedness wouldn't hurt, would it? Some commitment and dedication. Give them an area of expertise to specialize in - make them stand for something in life!

---

Brilliant - a little structure and discipline has proved to do him good! He is a truly valuable member of our economy now.

I'm not even sure he can actually read. He can't read a map, that much is sure! Just how can someone take so much time for every journey?

---

Did you see how he just plowed through those documents? Maybe we can turn him into a man with common sense after all.

I propose we go on and teach this restless fellow the basics of navigation and travel planning first. After that, we should be able to tell what really he has a knack for.

---

Well, that turned out to be more productive than I would have guessed. Our lad seems to have a certain talent for what he does. Or perhaps he's just a quicker reader than I thought.

It can't hurt to send a few of our more advanced books his way. I was thinking material sciences or a bit of history, so he can actually tell what he is bringing us.

---

Not bad - he has acquired quite a repertoire. I admit, I'm impressed.

Well, he has proven that he knows his metier, much to my astonishement, I have to admit, so it would be a good idea to provide him with our finest works now, and truly make him a specialist.

---

Chapeau! He tought me that a globetrotter does not have to be a lazy prowler. On the contrary, this man has seen the world and is a true expert in his profession.

Bandits are not just present on your home zone. By the time we complete this chain of quests, you will know everything important about adventures and how to experience them. Medium duration quest chain To complete the main quest, finish all its subquests.

---

You've managed to finish all the subquests. Now you know the basics about adventures, and have had your first experience with them. Medium duration quest chain finished.

It seems the coast is clear. I promised to tell you more and I am always true to my word. Here I have a map of a small island. Click on the map in your star menu and start the adventure. Afterwards, you can travel there. Take some units with you and I'll meet with you there. Note The adventure can also be bought a limited number of times in the shop, in exchange for fish.

---

That was really a good effort for your first adventure, but don't think all adventures will be this easy. They will get increasingly difficult as time goes on. On your maps, you'll find an estimation of the difficulty, indicated with skulls.

If you want to find more maps, you'll have to do it by yourself. Just send your explorer on an adventure search, and if you are lucky, he'll find one. However, the strength of enemy units varies, so always take enough units with you.

---

So, were you lucky? Sometimes the explorer finds only single map pieces, but you can piece them together too. Just visit the merchant.

Pssst… I have returned. I've found a lot of these map fragments. Since I have no real use for them, I thought it would be best to give them to you. After all, you can buy interesting adventures with them.

---

Map fragments are a good thing. I have… Oh no, someone is opening the door. What should I do? Darn it! I'm trapped.

I knew you would be here. I've chased you so often in this direction. It was just a matter of time before I caught up with you. Now, reveal who you are!... Oh my god! This cannot be. Seraphina! Could you please leave us alone for a while?

---

Thank you for leaving us alone for a moment. Seraphina is my daughter. We don't exactly have the best relationship. She left a while ago without even saying goodbye. At least I know where she is now.

Hello, I am back again. At least I don't need to hide anymore. Yes, I am Sardin's daughter. My pigheaded father won't allow me to join the army, which is why I keep searching for adventures. By the way, I have the coordinates for your explorer's new search.

---

So, did your explorer find something useful? Don't forget, the adventures you'll find on this route might be more difficult to handle, so always take enough units with you.

I heard what Henry told you about the granite. He is absolutely right; we will be needing large amounts of granite. Trading is always a possibility of course, but to find more adventures and granite we really should recruit more explorers.

---

Very good. It would be best to send them out immediately to find something. By the way, the explorer you hire from the merchant needs only half the time the normal ones from the tavern take.

Maybe you have already figured out that there will be more types of units. By the time we complete this quest chain, you will have soldiers as a new unit possibility. Short quest chain To complete the main quest, finish all its subquests.

---

You've managed to finish all the subquests. You are now able to produce and recruit soldiers. Short quest chain finished.

My scouts report of enemy activities on other islands. My instinct tells me we should keep on expanding the military, so it would be a good idea to have a steel smelter.

---

Steel is very important for weapon manufacture. By the way, I saw the shadow from earlier again. She disappeared in your direction. Did you see her, by any chance?

But first, to more important matters - we need a steel weaponsmith to process steel into steel swords. I am so looking forward to commanding the first soldiers.

---

Very good. The military expansion has worked. In which case, I shall get back to searching for the suspicious person. Keep an eye open and report to me if you see her.

Tell me this is not true. Now Theodor wants soldiers from us because he is afraid that recruits might not suffice. Whatever. After all, he is your brother. Just check whether your steel production is well balanced first.

---

As soon as you think that production is okay, we can continue training the soldiers. Do you think Theodor is really in danger? Maybe he is just imagining things.

It seems your brother has problems. By completing this quest chain, you have helped your brother. Short quest chain To complete the main quest, finish all its subquests.

---

You've managed to finish all the subquests. Your brother is now safe and sound. Short quest chain finished.

An emissary of your brother Theodor has just arrived, completely hysterical, and told me your brother fears he will soon be attacked. He beseeches your help. Before we send him troops, we should check our weapon productions, starting with the bronze swords.

---

Good - that should suffice to help your brother out. I'd like to know who this ominous attacker is. Perhaps we will know soon enough.

Your brother is becoming more and more impatient. We should send him some units soon to stop him going insane with fear. Train a few recruits and I will send them to him as soon as they are done.

---

The message that the recruits are on their way seems to have calmed him down a bit, though he still doesn't want to tell us who this possible attacker might be.

I must talk to you once again about the fears of your brother Theodor. He has sent a message saying he prefers not to wait so long for the soldiers, and hence would like us to send steel swords to start off with.

---

You are really very generous. I hope your brother appreciates it, but most likely not. Hopefully, he is satisfied after taking receipt of the soldiers.

Well, the swords didn't calm your brother down for very long it seems. He has become very agitated again. It is time to send him the soldiers. After that, hopefully, he will finally calm down.

---

I don't believe this. It would seem your brother's 'frightening fiend' is simply a lady he was rather ungentlemanly with. She hasn't even threatened him with soldiers, just thrown rotten eggs at his carriage. Unbelievable.

New buildings will become available which will need new building materials. By the time we complete this quest chain, you will know all the necessary facts about these materials. Short quest chain To complete the main quest, finish all its subquests.

---

You've managed to finish all the subquests. Now you know about special luxury materials, where to get them, and how to process them. Short quest chain finished.

Have you already found some exotic wood? It is the very best wood that exists. Unfortunately, we don't have any exotic trees to cut down here. You can only get the wood from your explorer or through your adventures. Build up a supply of it, because we will be needing it very soon.

---

The smell alone is simply sensational. By the way, you can also obtain this wood by trading with other settlers, although the cost is obviously higher.

Uh oh… with the last delivery we imported a special kind of woodworm. It particularly likes chomping on the exotic wood we organized recently. We should process it immediately, but first we need a sawmill for this kind of wood.

---

Very good, but it was about time. These little monsters feed on everything they can find. Let's hurry and begin processing the wood. It's still free of woodworm.

Good, production is going fine as far as I can see. While the wood is being processed, I will check how to get rid of these worms. After all, we want to be able to store this wood again in the future.

---

I have good news. We've found a way to get rid of the wood worm. Now, we can store the wood safely again.

Greetings. How are you doing? I've checked the new plans, and they are really fascinating, but we will need granite for most of the buildings. It's a rare stone we cannot find on this island, but maybe you can obtain some during your adventures?

---

Could you get hold of some granite? It's quite expensive because it's rare, but there really is nothing better. Some people offer granite through the trade and, in an emergency, there is always the merchant. I heard that sometimes even explorers find granite during their treasure hunts.

It seems you are ready for the strongest unit types. By the time we complete this quest chain, you will have all the remaining unit types and productions. Medium duration quest chain To complete the main quest, finish all its subquests.

---

You've managed to finish all the subquests. You are now able to recruit all kinds of different unit types. Medium duration quest chain finished.

Greetings. Good to see you again. I have heard of some trouble around here, but it does not concern me. I am just here to tell you that the construction of the buildings, whose plans we have now, will consume a lot of tools. You should think about expanding your tool production.

---

Now we should be prepared for the new buildings. I'm going back to study the new plans so we can begin construction as soon as you give the signal. Goodbye.

Please excuse my absence. I had to deal with some private matters… Anyway, I've taught you nearly everything I know. Of course, there are a few better weapons and units you can still build, but I think you'll manage it alone. For example, we could use crossbowmen.

---

As I said, you can manage that all by yourself. If you still have any questions, feel free to ask, any time. In the meantime, I'll have a talk with my daughter.

Oh, has my daughter vanished again? Typical! She's never very comfortable when she stays too long in one place, and becomes unreliable. That's one reason why I did not want her to join the army. Whatever... Next, we should construct a Titanium smelter.

---

Titanium is a good metal; solid, but light and able to take a lot of strain. We should be able to produce effective weapons from it. However, it is not cheap.

Before we can begin manufacturing swords, we need have some titanium in stock. To produce titanium takes quite some time, so you had best begin with soon.

---

Hmm… I just saw my daughter in the courtyard. It seems she wants to speak with you. I'm surprised she's helping you so much. Maybe I have misjudged her.

Greetings. I have found something very interesting. A friend of mine forgot to take it with him. I thought a carriage like this might be useful, and who knows what use can be made of it. Maybe you should think about producing one yourself. In which case, we'll be needing a wheelmaker.

---

Wow, what a beautiful building. It really adds something to the city. Can't have been cheap, I'm sure. I'm excited to see how things develop with the carriages. Just remember we need a carpenter before we can use the carriages.

Ah, I found them! The plans for building a carpenter. He can produce the carriages with the help of the wheels. Just inform us when we should begin construction, and remember that the plans are quite complicated, so we will need some time.

---

We are finished. Definitely one of our best constructions. Do you like it? By the way, I've heard rumors about the carriages being able to carry cannons. I'll check whether I can find plans for that.

A carpenter producing carriages? Useless! We need weapon production, not these bits and pieces. For example, we need a Damascene weaponsmith. By now we should have enough titanium ready.

---

Right, that is what we need! No carriages to push around the area. We will be able to make fantastic weapons out of it. You will see!

Best start production immediately. You will be thrilled, because these are the best weapons you can get. With them, we will easily drive all our enemies back.

---

I just took a look at weapon production. Very beautiful swords I have to admit. What? No, I am not sure where my daughter might be. She tends to keep out of my sight, rather successfully in fact.

I just saw Seraphina. Was she here? Hmm… adventure. Well, maybe these adventures would be a good way to try out your new units. Since your home islands don't seem to have any new challenges to offer any more, produce some units and use them in an adventure.

---

I have to say that adventures are really exciting. I never thought I'd say that. And what do you think about our soldiers? Phenomenal, don't you think? They can take much and deal out a lot. For big challenges you should always take some of them with you.

I found it! I found it! The construction plans to upgrade carriages to cannons. We'll be needing two different buildings - a powderhut and a cannon forge. If you're interested, you should start with the powderhut.

---

Hmm, that was a lot of work, but the powderhut really looks pretty. Now I shall leave and prepare the construction of the cannon forge. See you later.

I have finished preparations for the construction of the cannon forge. As soon as you give the signal, we can start. It will become a gorgeous building, just wait and see. I am convinced that Lord Sardin will have the same opinion too.

---

So, did I promise too much? Even Lord Sardin complimented me, and that surely means something. I think I've helped you as much as I can. I will now return to my work. Do not hesitate to ask for my help if you are ever in need of it.

Now it's up to you to become the richest person and best merchant on the planet! When you complete this quest chain, there will be nothing more to say - and you'll have stacks of money to keep you busy. Long term quest chain To complete this main quest, finish all sub quests.

---

You've managed to finish all the subquests. You are now a true master of trading, and your riches are almost limitless. Long quest chain finished.

We've been so busy we've neglected trade a little bit, don't you think? Remember that the king places a lot of importance on supporting trade. Maybe we should concentrate on that again for a while.

---

You really have a talent for trading. I'm sure the king will recognize that too. Once we've improved your skills a bit, maybe you'll become one of the most successful traders of the country.

We should improve your trading skills at any cost. We will need lots of coins to upgrade buildings. In general, coins are always useful for trade, which is why we should set ourselves a certain coin income as a goal.

---

You've mastered that really well, but I have to admit I expected nothing less. By the way, have you seen Lord Sardin lately? Since the incident with his daughter he has kind of disappeared.

Hey hey. It's me. I've been traveling a lot, and visited the nicest islands, but the bandits there are very well equipped. If you want to go there too, you really should rearm, and for that you will need granite as soon as possible.

---

Very well. That should be enough to do something useful with. What? My father? Oh, he's just sobbing in a dark corner where nobody can see him. It is always the same. Don't worry, he'll soon reappear.

Greetings. Don't worry, I do not have something to ask of you, just an idea. Yesterday I found a coin lying on the floor, and I got very excited about it. I was so happy that I worked way more effectively the following day. How about spreading some coins across the city and making your settlers happy with them? I'm sure they'll work better that way!

---

So, now I'm eager to see whether it works. It's really very exciting. I admire you for taking care of your settlers so conscientiously. Now I'll mingle and see whether it works.

A generous offer has arrived from the king. At the moment you are subordinated to him, but he offers you your independence if you manage to gather a certain amount of coins, by any means you soo fit. You should take him up on this offer!

---

Unbelievable! You really made it. I've just received the letter from the king via express messenger, approving your independence. I congratulate you. You are the first person I know who has managed to do this.

The Master craftsmen are asking for more distinguished volumes to share their exquisite knowledge with. We shall need more sophisticated manufacturing methods to meet this requirement. Let's make sure our economy is up to it.

---

You must have a remarkable economy at your disposal to sport such capacities! Bravo!

Truly secret knowledge and particularly valuable skills require a special type of book. I suggest you build workshops dedicated to the refinement of our Tomes.

---

What a treat - we've managed to create something very special here. Real collectors' items!

To allow for the noblest and finest type of documents we will need an Ornamentalsmith. Creating a Codex requires much experience and skill. However, the result is the most amazing piece of bookbindery I am able to deliver.

---

Isn't it just wonderful to watch an artist at work? All this detail and passion. I'm delighted!

By using the best materials we will be able to live up to the highest bibliophiliac standards. Let us use the experience we have gathered to build an Advanced Papermill, and create the finest paper of our era has ever known!

---

Impressive, such quality! Have you tried touching this paper? One can immediately feel one is holding something extraordinary in one's hands.

It is done - the manufacturing pipeline for the Codex is complete! Visit me in my workshop at any time and let's talk about producing some of these most precious volumes! This will provide you with the most advanced and secret skills and knowledge.

---

Splendid! Take good care to whom you grant access to these treasures. The knowledge contained in these Codices is invaluable!

OK, so you accept the challenge?! Well well, you are brave, but we'll soon see exactly how brave you really are. Of course, you can't just go now and win the fight. You'll have to prepare well, and by "well" I mean **really** well!

---

Very well - that should be enough for the first round. Don't look so surprised. Maybe you're wondering why you needed to train so many units. Trust me… Most of them will not come back.

The time has come. I've put the new adventure in your star menu. When you arrive on the new island, a friend of mine will welcome you. He seems a bit weird on first sight but he's OK really. Just help him and he will reward you accordingly. Good luck.

---

Oh, you're back. How was it? How did you like my friend the tailor? A bit strange, right? But I am sure you two will get along. I hope he rewarded you accordingly? Let's see what you got from the adventure.

Maybe you already realized this, but there are more new adventures besides the one you already tried. To get them, you need to play the first adventure and the others will probably come as follow-ups. The rewards increase with every follow up-adventure, so it will be worth your while!

---

So, were you lucky? Didi you see a lot of these new adventures? There's a lot to see with all the different possibilities in the follow-up adventures you can get. Try and find all possible paths.

You got Magic Beans as reward? Hmm… They look pretty ordinary. Did you already check what you can get for them? … What? A giant castle? A tower that produces coins? Wow, that's epic. So, what are you waiting for? Gather more of them to get the epic rewards!

---

Wow, that's a lot of beans. Nice work! Let's see what we can buy with them… What? Oh, of course, I meant what **you** can buy with them.

Man, we need more beans. There are so many things to be bought. You should continue gathering beans. Maybe there are also other ways to gather beans?! In any case, we need more!

---

Ah, it's raining beans. Marvelous! I have already an idea of what we can buy with them. Can you guess what it is?

Oh, this castle is gorgeous, don't you think? You have to build it on your island. I've heard that when you upgrade it, it produces something from these beans that you can use to buy even more marvelous items.

---

My, it is even taller than I expected. Really breathtaking. Let's take a look at how it works, and what needs to be done to make it produce Magic Beanstalks.

If I've understood correctly, we need to upgrade the Fairytale Castle to level 5 to make it produce Magic beanstalks. It may take some time but it seems to be worth it! With the stalks you can buy even more cool new items. So, let's start!

---

You made it! I don't know how, but you made it. It seems nothing is able to stop you. I always thought that you were pretty skilled, but now I'm really stunned by your abilities. Anyway, enjoy your stalks and don't forget to gather new beans.

All that's left to do is to make sure your army is perfect. By the time we complete this chain of quests, you will have a well balanced weapon economy and a large army. Medium duration quest chain To complete the main quest, finish all its subquests.

---

You've managed to finish all the subquests. You now have well balanced weapon production and a huge army. Medium duration quest chain finished.

This is getting serious. You already have a glorious city and an effective economy. Now, we should concentrate on the military, since they are not only supposed to fight well but also represent your kingdom's strength. This means we still need to increase the number of units.

---

Now your army is on the right track. In my opinion, an army is never too big. Remember to have a variety of units. Having only recruits or bowmen will not suffice.

I don't want to tell you which units to choose for your army. You're probably able to decide that on your own. Just make sure you mix them up a little bit - not only is it more flexible, it also looks better.

---

Good, now my work here is done. Your military is near perfect - I've taught you everything I know and all nearby enemies have been fought back. With your permission, I will draw back. Contact me if you need my help again.

Great challenges await you. If you want to succeed, you'll need a big army with a good mixture of melee and ranged damage units. Prepare yourself well before leaving for the adventures.

---

Are you satisfied with your preparations? Do you have enough units and supplies in stock? As soon as you think you are correctly prepared, just contact me and we'll get going.

The amount of settlers you can train to become units looks alright, but remember you also need weapons. I hope you have continued to keep an eye on the efficiency of your weapon production chains, because you'll be needing a lot of weapons very shortly.

---

My father prepared you really well. You worked well, and quickly. You have erased all my final doubts about you becoming the greatest explorer of all times.

There is still a lot to tell you about adventures. By the time we complete this quest chain, you will know absolutely everything about adventures. Medium duration quest chain To complete the main quest, finish all its subquests.

---

You've managed to finish all the subquests. Now you know everything about adventures, including the various types and difficulties. Medium duration quest chain finished.

Hey hey! Going on a journey is always so exciting. Remember when I told you about the difficult adventures, and how you can get valuable things from them? I've finally discovered a good route your explorer can use to find them.

---

So, were you successful? Adventures like these are not easy to find. Be patient. Sooner or later you'll find one. While you're waiting, use the time to expand your army.

Hello, how are you? How's the adventure search going? Found any treasure yet? I just happen to know that those bad guys on the far off islands have robbed one of the king's coin transports and stolen all the gold. How do feel about trying to get it back?

---

Wow, you really made them pay. You are becoming a veritable bandit's nightmare. The only thing left to hope for is that the king will not hear about it. It would be a shame to be forced to give the gold back to him.

My father has written me a letter requesting we talk. Instead of joining you on your journey, I will comply with his request and meet with him. I wish you luck. We will see each other again when you have become the greatest explorer of all time.

---

You made it. You really made it. You've done everything a person can achieve in one lifetime. Our meeting went fine. We decided to meet once and again and do something. Tomorrow we will go to the firing range. It will be fun!

Hello my lord. I am Istvan, one of your young followers, and I need your help. The weather has been terribly dry lately, and thus our crop harvest was poor last year. We don't have enough food to last us until the next harvest. Please, help us.

---

So, it's all over. Everything's finished, and it's time to say goodbye. I really am grateful for your help. Here, take this - I prepared a small gift as reward for your efforts. Farewell. Until we meet again!

To be on the safe side, we'll keep some wheat on one side, as a backup We don't want to risk a new shortage, after all!

---

Well, this should suffice. Therewith, we should have enough wheat to last through the winter, and even a little bit longer.

First, we'll need to plow the fields for a new harvest, but they're covered in debris. Could you help us and collect some of this debris?

---

Thank you! This should be enough space to grow some new crops. Which brings me to our next task...

We don't have enough tools and utensils left to plow the complete area. It would be a great help if you could help us find the materials to do so. Here, I made a note of everything we need.

---

Wow, that was really generous of you. Now, it is up to me to make good use of it. I will return when I am done with plowing and spreading the seeds.

Phew, we're all done! Now, all that's left to do is to wait until the wheat has grown. We'd better wait and see how things go. I'm sure you've got plenty of other things to be getting on with - I'll let you know when the crops have grown.

---

The time has come, the wheat is grown and harvest can begin. I am really thankful for your help. I knew I could count on you.

Good day, Milord! Our scientists have come up with a new contraption they call it an Epic Workyard. It's a huge, imposing structure that houses complex mechanisms which can transform and produce resources at incredible speed. Truly a magnificent achievement and a wonder of technology! Much time and effort has been involved in its creation, so the Scientists Guild is demanding Magic Beans in compensation for the structure - but I say it's well worth it!

---

Your Epic Workyard is now operating at full speed! You should focus on upgrading it for maximum benefits.

A historic moment, Milord! Today we start our first production at our Epic Workyard. It's an event of great significance which proclaims Your great foresight and penchant for new things, as well as the undeniable greatness of our island! Start a seed to pinewood production chain at your Epic Workyard.

---

Great! You started up the machines!

We've got our Epic Workyard is up and running, but it can do so much more! Use the remaining two slots to start additional Tree Planting production chains.

---

Wow! Such productivity!

Can you hear the machines? They purr like a kitten - now let's make them roar like a lion! Use the "Magic Bean Soup" buff to double the Epic Workyard's production, and then select the building to see it in action.

---

Extraordinary! It really does do so much more!

It's time we set-up our first Epic Workyard. It will bring both glory to our island, and a much-needed boost to our economy. Great journeys start with but a single step, remember! Purchase an Epic Woodyard from the Shop (Epic items) and place it on the island.

---

Excellent! Look at the size of that building!

Ahh! What a surprise! Welcome to the islands of Enhar, the most exotic place you will ever see! My name is Noble Ludwig, but my friends call me Master Ludwig. Judging from your garments, I see that you are a noble yourself! Please, follow me to my abode. I have a proposition for you.

---

Our adventures are not finished yet! We have many lands to explore!

You might ask why I would choose to live alone here. Unfortunately, I have the perfect answer I didn't. I was robbed. A warlord known as Berim Khalar raided my islands and took everything from me! I was the only one who escaped! Help me recover my fortune, and I promise you will be well rewarded! Explore the region and find a place where we can start a new settlement.

---

Ahh! Well done! This seems to be the perfect spot to start a new settlement. Look at the beautiful grass, how green it looks, how fresh it smells!

Wait, what? Has that island always been there? I've just noticed it! No matter, we can always use the extra space. We need a Sector Deed to be able to claim the land.

---

Excellent! Remember that you can get additional sector deeds from the black market in the shop. Now let's dig up an underground tunnel and take the first of our settlers to it. How exciting!

The smell of a new beginning! It's in your mouth, in your eyes and in your hair. But there is no time to waste! The next step is to build a storehouse on the newly explored sector! Don't worry, I have a diploma in engineering, so I can help you draw up the plans! Go now, and order your settlers to build a storehouse.

---

Magnificent! A beautiful building! Maybe we can upgrade it later. I need my own quarters you know?
