Warlords: Strategic Conquest

//////////////////////////////////////////////////[STATUS BOX]/////////////////////////////////////////////////

------------------------------
You raise your Army's wages, rewarding old veterans and attracting new recruits. On occasion you join your colonels at muster and personally inspect the raw cadets. Improved morale and increased enlistment soon transform your military into a formidable fighting machine.
While other warlords are impressed by your newfound might, your domestic tradesmen are unswayed. Disappointed by your stingy ways, your Workers followed through on their threats of mass desertions while you focused on your soldiers. Workers leave your fallow kingdom for greener pastures. This brain drain leads to inefficiency throughout your realm. Your castle falls into disrepair, military supplies dwindle, and rations become scarce.
You regret ignoring your skilled tradesmen's demands. You quickly enact labor reforms for professionals- raising wages, increasing vacation time, and even offering free education for their children.
Your new soldiers have barely left basic training when you learn that General Nahru had conquered all of northern China and, upon hearing of your domestic turmoil, decided that this would be his best opportunity to dispose of you. He begins to accumulate troops along your northern border.
Your attempt at restoring your workforce comes a bit late. A week later, when General Nahru marches one million troops to your castle, many government posts remain unmanned.
General Nahru, aware of your sizable Army, sieges your castle instead of risking his troops in an immediate clash. You too are wary of engaging the enemy, knowing that your inexperienced rookies are no match for General Nahru's seasoned veterans. You wait behind your stone walls and hope that Nahru succumbs to attrition before you do.
Unlike President Min, General Nahru's army is well disciplined. No supplies or persons enter or exit your capital for months while you cling onto your defensive fortifications. Meanwhile, the lack of qualified professionals cause breakdowns in every area of your kingdom. Inefficiency saps funds from your Treasury, decreases your Army's morale, and damages your relations with the Masses and the Buddhist temple.
The siege weakens your kingdom day by day. General Nahru waits until the odds turn in his favor. He then attacks. A long bloody battle ends with General Nahru's soldiers capturing you alive. Recognizing your symbolic significance as the last major obstacle between him and all of China, General Nahru leaves your severed scalp on a stake outside your former castle.
