”Cultural improvements... We can talk about that later. Or let weaker Supreme Rulers of the future deal with it. This combat data is way more interesting! I'm gonna stay up late and perfect our next strategy...”
You decide to analyze the data on the Aristocrat defenses and possible counterattacks; you increase your future attack waves straight by +5 units. Threemind also helpfully shows you the political and economic disruptions of the war versus it's possible conclusions; showing you that your people are still very inspired and happy to contribute extra to the war effort. By all metrics, you have at least two more attack waves before you will begin to suffer serious attrition and the people become war weary.
”They should be ready to fight down to the last man...”
“Of course, your Majesty.” the Threemind interjects. “But even the most loyal and obedient people will wilt in a conflict that seems hopeless and endless. Basic psychology and its manipulation is a fundamental part of your role.”
”Hmph... Maybe you're right.”
Meanwhile, in Urgi space, a certain council member is spending the evening with his new mate. His scared face cracks a smile along his long curved beak.
”I'm sorry I've been so distant. Dealing with the council and problems among the Redwing leaders... It's been a lot to handle. And you still prepare all this food for me?”
“Of course!” She says happily. “I know you're under a lot of stress right now, so you don't have to talk about it if you don't want.”
”No, it's fine. They're all flight-feathers about it; everything's gotta be secret. Even when they're trying to project their fake forces and make all the Urgi think the Redwings are gonna be able to protect and hold ALL of the new territory.”
“I don't really understand all that stuff... if they just put you in charge, I'm sure you could handle it.”
”Pff-HA! You really are a downy bird, ya know that? Being so nice to an old bird like me.”
“Of course... I mean, I'm a hen that can't lay... So if anything you're the one being nice to me.”
”HEY! Don't talk about yourself like that. You're still my mate either way, you understand?”
“Awww...”
They nestle, touching beak to beak in affection.
