I agree wholeheartedly with Mr Lightbringer's ideas, it would secure our position and give us warning of attacks.

The homeless should be given a chance to live and work in our beautiful city.

I vote AYE to all of his proposals

((Commonwealth = Humans and Dwarves coming together to make a massive steampunk empire. We can get some early rifle units if we research Spy Drones then go on to research "Produce Engineers," which would definitely field us a huge advantage by having Class Units in the early game.))

((Not sure, but I think we vote on one build, one action per force, and an area of research at present?))

((Yes, and whether or not to hire 'Elrac the Medic.'))

Council Decisions;
In summary, the City of Mornholm will begin construction on building wooden fortifications to defend against hostile encounters. Two Regiments of the garrison will be dispatched to investigate a refugee camp and to escort willing refugees to Mornholm. The Cavalry Regiment will be dispatched from it's patrol in order to claim a watchtower that is currently not own. We will also begin researching new invention and furthering our scientific endeavors.

~~Ad Victoriam! Viva la Conseil!~~​
 
{==Turn 1 Update==}
​
The Council chamber doors swung open and a small dispatch of four Civic Guardsmen entered the chamber flanking along the sides of a Dreadnought-Officer. This minor procession came to a halt in front of the Council table, the Civic Guardsmen clicked the heels of their boots together, raised their arm in a fist to their chest in salute and bowed before the Council. The Dreadnought-Officer simply bowed his head before reaching into his cloak and retrieving a scroll of parchment and unrolling a portion of it.

"Ahem," he began reading, "I, Lieutenant Godfrey Wrayburn, have been sent to report that the second and third Regiments of the Guard have successfully sheltered almost a thousand refugees here in Mornholm and that these citizens have began actively contributing to society once again. However, I am also to report that our operations in the west were not so successful. It seems that the Reconnaissance Regiment dispatched had encountered a nest of Draconians infesting the Watchtower that they were ordered to claim. Sir-Captain Galter determined that the odds of victory were far too slim to risk combat operations with his present numbers and ordered his men to hold outside of the Watchtower until further orders, reinforcements, or word arrived from the Council."

He paused and looked up from the paper, "That is all I have to report. Unless the Council requires any further inquiry, may I be excused?"
 
These Draconians can't be allowed to live this close to us.
I propose we negotiate with them to move away.
We should also invest in our army, I propose we recruit another Unit.

I would like these to be put up for a vote
 
Selena said,

If we let these beasts live close, that would pretty Draconian of us! GET IT!

What she actually said:

I agree with councilmemeber Fitzgerald. He proposes a good solution to these problems. I VOTE AYE on all proposals!
 
*Suddenly, the council doors burst open, and in marches Sir Shezarrinus, clad in full battle attire as usual.*

"I volunteer to ride out and 'negotiate' with these beasts! My fellow councillors, I have done this before with great success - I always manage to get my enemies to stand down, one way or the other."
 
The young Lieutenant looked about the room with a slight look of dismay written across his face. Finally after hearing these speakers, he forced himself to interject.
"My lords, I fear you have an entirely wrong idea about these Draconians. While the Draconians that our ancestors drove out of these lands... may have been capable of understanding such a, 'peaceful resolution,' these certainly do not." He said while revealing another item from under his cloak, a heavy book of some sorts, "Even the Draconians our ancestors fought were horrid creatures with the sole purpose to kill humanity, yet even they had some form of civility. These Draconians on the other hand have devolved, into some form of... lesser beings incapable of advanced thought, they breed, eat, and kill, nothing more."

The Lieutenant paused for a moment to open the book across the table and flipped to a page, elegant in design and covered in anatomical drawings and text in Common tongue. Taking a moment to brush off a layer of dust, before he looked up and began speaking once more the Lieutenant continued, "As I'm sure my fellow men of academical science here know, this is a 'Tome of Wonders,' basically an encyclopedia on all scientific matters and discoveries of humanity. And allow me to read what our noble ancestors recorded of the upbringings of the Draconian race,

'When the Commonwealth rose to power, the race of dragons, especially the young dragons, suffered a terrible price. The humans had devastated the dragon kin like so many others, and so the Dragons turned to the Wizards of Evermore who used powerful magic to create a new breed of dragon kin. Thus, bred to kill humans and for the sole purpose to repopulate the world and eventually reform into dragons, the Draconians were born.'

They are bred for the sole purpose to breed and kill us. Anybody you send in there, to 'negotiate peace,' will simply become a new charred course on their menu."
 
*Shezarrinus bursts into laughter.*

"Lieutenant, I think you underestimate the persuasiveness of me and my companion here."

*He draws his sword and places it demonstratively on the table in front of him.*

"Of course, if the council would decide that I could bring with me some of the army, I'm sure that it would make my arguments even more persuasive!"

Selena stood and said, "Alright. I say let this man if he wish go and 'negotiate.' Let us truly see how powerful this man really is. I propose he be sent alone, and should he solve the problem, he will be given a great reward, possibly even make him a king. What say you?"

"While I have no doubt of your strength sire, these Draconians are bred to cook men like you and me alive in, using the very armor that shields us as a conductor of their flame and as a furnace in which to roast their newest meal." The Lieutenant explained, "If you were to go, I would suggest that you attire yourself in something... More flame retardant, not that you ever leave your armor, making this quite a predicament..."

The Lieutenant fixated on the Council woman for a moment before speaking, "I see that the apple of impurity does not fall far from the tree indeed. You most certainly take after your alleged mother, attempting to lure men of action towards their deaths with absurd and unreachable prizes. Interesting to say the least."
