Chapter 46: Ch. 45 – Research

(...and that's my plan for what you can try against the flood, Elly.)
(I'm not sure I like it. Failure we probably kill me. But I'm willing to give it a try.)
(Good, so let's do it later just like we've discussed.)
(Sure. But it still is a few hours until we regenerated enough resources.)
(Right, so back to checking the options we have with the fortress now.)

My check reveals that while I can order the construction of new buildings, there's only one spot left in the fortress. But there's a whole section just missing on the construction map...

"What is with the slums, Justo? Why don't they appear on the map?"
"It will take some time to get used to my new name...The slums? Hmm... I think I know what area you are talking about. Difficult. It should be an option along with the other edicts, but I would recommend against it."
"Why is that? Too expensive? Every edict seems to have a price tag like constructing a new building or upgrading an existing one, but that should pay back for itself given time."
"That is not the only concern. Once the people there are back under my jurisdiction they would instantly be judged, and I'm fairly certain most of them are guilty of one crime or another according to the current laws."

"So, can't I just pardon the slum dweller?"

"Not at your current level. You would need to increase your 'fortress lord' title at least to level 10."
"Great, so my need for exp just went up even more..."
"You need to gain those levels anyway. It is also required to unlock more specialized buildings, upgrades or how many civilian jobs can be on my payroll."
"Yeah, I was too naive. What was I thinking I could just hit a few buttons and then we can employ more medical staff to get the wounded soldiers faster out of the hospital, or set up an ammo factory to get some archers on the wall..."
"If you don't want to rise your title level you could alternatively use a 'Class Core' take the special 'Fortress Lord' class."
