On the ruins of your father's castle you can build your own castle.
The building goes on gradually, from the levels 1 to 8. Actually it takes 8 years
to build the whole castle.
Trade: If you have enough market places you can sell and buy goods.
From one market place up > Food rations
From five market places up > Iron

The prices for food depend an the success of the harvest. A poor harvest means
high prices. Compared with them the prices for iron and weapons are stable.

that every soldier needs his own weapon. At least you loose one inhabitant by
recruiting one. Keep in mind that you need 200 inhabitants of free disposal
in your country.
Food rations: Here you can regulate teh distribution of food for the
inhabitants. The more food you distribute, the more popular you become. This
also means more children and more immigrants for your country.

can be coordinated with the number of food rations for your country. Beware!
Always give as much food as you have promised before, otherwise your popularity
will sink.
Taxes: The lower you keep the taxes the more popularity you achieve.
The inhabitants wil stay in your country and more immigrants will come, but then
you also have less money in the treasure chamber.
The number in brackets is the amount of gold which is about to fill your
chamber. The actual number is almost the some.
