A month later I examine our reports.
We have 5 Galleys and 5 Transports in our Fleet. Hardly terrorizing.
We have 5000 Infantry and 100 calvary protecting our capital of Bali. Again, hardly impressive.
I could take out a loan and make Military now. Then try and hit Makassar. Makassar will probably be our first target. We would porbably have to go into debt so much that we'd evetually havbe to keep taking out loans until bankruptcy sets in. That would be very bad for a country like ours - and very hard to get out of. I prefer a wait and see approach, for now.
I reduce the maintenance costs of our fleet and army for now. We need all of the money we can.
We have 50 ducats to Mataram's name. That it not enough to do much, so I'll have save up for a couple of years.
Eventually, we'll learn how to have a Tax Collecter, and then I'll build one in Bali and Surabaja. We'll need money to hire a Tax Collector, so it's another goal to save for.
