What is this?

Yes, Your Grace is a role-playing strategy game developed by Brave at Night and was released in 2020. We play as King Eryk and we rule over the small kingdom of Davern, we are also a family man and we need to take care of our loved ones.

This is our first view of the throne room. It's nighttime, and we're sitting on our throne with our crown jewels proudly on display and our crown near to our side:



Gameplay is organized into weekly rounds and we need to make binary choices about how to respond to various events that happen throughout each round. These events will vary between visitors to the royal court, managing the running of our castle and being a family man whenever we can find the time. Some events will play out as they will, but most of the events will involve making a choice of how we want to proceed.

Audience Participation!

This is where you all come in. No matter if it involves the whole kingdom or dealing with an unruly offspring, I will put each option up for voting. We also start off with only a meagre amount of resources and we need to decide on how to spend what we have as well decide as how we are going to make more.

LP Details

I'm new to the SSLP format so I'm going to try to aim for one update a week, a fortnight at the most.

A quick guide on how to rule the kingdom

This is where I'm going to hand things over to our Chancellor, Audry. Audry is our advisor, he is loyal and always gives good advice, it's up to us if we want to listen to him or not.



Thank you, your Grace. I have prepared a parchment with all of the necessary information about our resources and manpower, I will provide you with a new parchment with updated information at the beginning of every week.



Resources

We have to control four resources to keep our kingdom running smoothly. Gold, supplies, army and contentment. We need to distribute gold and supplies to our petitioners; if they are happy, their contentment will grow. A strong kingdom needs a big army. To gain more soldiers for our army, we will need to make alliances with neighboring Lords and Kings. We can gain resources through taxes, as well as from the alliances we make with Lords.

The second row on the parchment shows how many generals that are currently in our employment and how many messenger pigeons we currently own. As you can see, we only have one of each right now. I have left space on the parchment in case there is any other elements that you may wish to add in the future.

We currently have a modest amount of gold in our treasury and there are many different ways of attaining more. There is one consistent source of income and one that we will need to rely upon for some time.


Taxes

The villages in our domain pay taxes. Happy people will pay their taxes gladly, while the resentful will do what they can to get around them, resulting in less income for us. This is why we need to make sure people's contentment is high, in order to keep a good gold flow.

Petitioners

Peasants, merchants, knights, foreigners, Lords even! They all have problems, and they will seek help from their King. We can use our resources or agents to help those in need. Beware though! Some might come with malicious intentions, so you should carefully consider who is truly in need, Your Grace.

But where there is risk of being fleeced there is also the potential for rewards. Helping others can also bring in extra resources, soldiers and/or maybe even a favour at some point in the future.

Map Of The Castle

One last thing, your Grace. I commisioned an artist to paint a picture of the castle. The castle is currently undergoing some renovations and we are also carrying out some security checks, so I will outline in chalk the locations that are currently safe to visit. If you would like to visit a location then please point to it on the map so I can arrange for the bodyguards to escort you safely. I have also commisioned several special pins that I will use on the map that will inform you of any matters requiring your attention. I will use blue pins on locations that require your immediate attention and green pins to notify you of more informal matters.

Let's Play: Yes, Your Grace - (01) For Davern!



How has it come to this? Everything that we have worked so hard to achieve this past year could all be for aught after tonight. Could this be the last time that I sit here? I should make the most of this moment.

It is time, Your Grace.

Audrey, my loyal companion even to the last. As much as I want to be sentimental, I do have a duty to perform and my men need me right now.

Crown of the King of Davern. It's getting a bit rusty.

All I want right now is to be with my family but there isn't enough time to even embrace them for one last time. My duty right now is with my men on the wall.





Your Grace! A deserter! Found one of ours hiding in a shed.

Shed? Why would you do this, Sorbik?

There's too many of them! We have no chance of winning!

If you let him off, the rest may follow. However, our army is sparse as it is. We need every set of hands able to hold a sword, Your Grace.

If this was any other time then this man would face punishment. If these walls fall tonight then this man will die anyway, as will we all. Even the least brave soldiers are essential now.

Th-thank you, Your Grace.



Over here, your Grace.

How bad is it, General?

Our men are scared. It's the middle of the night, and yet it's so bright, as if Svarog himself walked our lands. The thin walls won't last long and we lack any solid defence measures. We don't have enough men. Once they get in, we have nothing we can throw their way. Can you hear the chanting? They're getting ready. We'd better get started. I have gathered archers from all the other walls... They are awaiting you at the wall, Your Grace. There's still time to put up white flags...

If we put up the white flags then it would just make it easier for them to slaughter us. We will make them pay dearly for their treachery!



Sons of Davern... My brothers! We stood together through the worst of times. We have proved our strength in many battles! And today, we will prove it again! My bravest men! I bid you to fight for all you hold dear! For Davern!

I wasn't sure how I was going to shoehorn this in but I may as well do it now.

I started prepping for this SSLP a few weeks ago but I put things on hold while trying to sort some IRL stuff. In the meantime between then and now, a sequel to this game was announced: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1373090/Yes_Your_Grace_Snowfall/

I will definitely be purchasing it when it's released. I'm not looking too far ahead when it comes to doing SSLPs but if all goes well with this one I might give it a shot.

I already have all of the prep work done for the next update as it was done alongside the first update, I just need to piece it all together and I'm hoping to have something up within the next few days. The voting will begin in the next update. I'm going to keep the in-game dialogue in the default font, anything in italics will be my own commentary.

Let's Play: Yes, Your Grace - (02) One Year Earlier





3... 2... 1... Ok, here I come!



You found me. Well done, Father.

Come on now, Lorsulia. It's not often that we can do this.

I told you, I don't want to play. Aren't you too old for this?

Lorsulia! That's no way to speak to your father!



Lorsulia is a stick-in-the-mud!

Shut it, Asalia! We can see you from miles away!

Got you! Shouldn't have insulted your sister from across the gardens.

She always has to ruin everything! She's so proud, she couldn't even find a place to hide.

I wasn't even trying to hide! I don't want to play!

Next time you don't want to play, maybe try writing a formal announcement. Oh, wait... You can't write!

Of course I can, you nitwit!

Cut it out, both of you.



Lorsulia is such a dumpling!

Oh, you know I'm not playing with you, darling. The sun finally came out, let me enjoy it.

Aurelea used to love to sit on this bench and knit, now she gets more peace in our bedchamber. There's a crack in the pavement... We need to get it patched up one day... I'm not sure what these purple flowers are, but they are attracting a lot of bees. These roses make this place smell amazing. It's very calming, no wonder our girls like to spend time here.



And here's the little one!

Noooooooo! I was doing so well! You must have cheated! Or... Or peeked! I demand... Another trial of... of the game!

How official, ha! Maybe next time, Cedani.



Forgive me, Your Grace. I hate to interrupt, but your subjects will soon arrive.

All right, enough games. The throne awaits!





The petitioners will start queing in a moment, Your Grace.

We really need to shorten the visiting hours.



Can you go and speak to Lorsulia, my dear? I've tried talking to her, but she just won't respond. I don't know what's got into her recently. Maybe she will open up a bit more to you. She's probably wandering about at the Wall.

Of course, my sweetest.



Your Grace. I bring bad news. The recent rains have soaked through our roofs. The pantry roof has collapsed. As well as some walls of our Dungeon. Only one cell is currently functional. We should really fix those things before they get worse. Otherwise, we'll keep losing supplies. You will see the required fixes in your weekly summary at the end of the week.





Your Grace, my daughter's wedding is at hand.

Congratulations!

The problem is... We don't have enough gold or supplies to make a worthy feast. What will my daughter's in-laws think of our family?! We want to hire a band, buy some of that fancy wine on the market. We would only need 5 gold and 5 supplies.

I need to consult the council before I commit the kingdom's resources to your request. Please wait inside the castle grounds and enjoy our hospitality, I will summon you when a decision has been made.



Your Grace, I come here representing my village. We want to ask you for 7 gold to help us gather tools and resources required to build an inn. We could really use a new place to rest after a long day of work!

Please wait inside the castle grounds and enjoy our hospitality as well, I will summon you once I have made a decision.





Monsters! Beasts, dressed in black! They came in the night. Unseen. Unheard. Until they arrived. They attacked the village. We heard the dreadful screams of the slain. Your Grace, I bet you. You must send your men, check what happened. Find those responsible!

Who are they?

Bright, red heads. Short, but sharp fangs. Hundreds of them! Gleaming metal for their claws. We've never seen anything like this!

The General should deal with these bandits easily.

Thank you, Your Grace!

The General was only promoted recently and I've heard a rumour that they're wanting to get out so they can explore the local area. I also want to get out, I'm going to stretch my legs a little.



There are three people who you may be interested in speaking to, Your Grace. Your daughter Asalia is currently in the garden and I know that you are keen to discuss the matters of this morning. The Dungeon Guard would like a word with you about the current state of the dungeons. And your daughter Lorsulia is currently atop of the castle wall, she may also welcome a vist from you, Your Grace.

Thank you, Audry. I will speak to Asalia first, it won't take long.



Yes, Father?

What is the matter with you two? You and Lorsulia used to be best friends.

You mean why is Lorsulia such a big baby?

This is the kind of thing I mean...

She's annoying, is all.

Insulting your sister won't make the situation better. She will just get more resentful as time goes by.

Ugh, but it's so hard! Sigh. I'm sorry Father. I won't do it again.

Stay safe.



drat it. This is worse than I thought.

The recent downpours have damaged a lot of buildings, Your Grace. While we still have space for prisoners, we should focus on buildings that need more attention. I've had a scribe write a list of things that need to be fixed. you will see this in your weekly summary, Your Grace.

This sounds like it's going to be costly.

Yes.

Damnit! We don't have a lot of gold in our treasury right now, not nearly enough for all of these repairs!

The dungeon is very dark and moist. I wouldn't like to stay in here for longer than a minute. These barrels are empty, they used to store our wine... Are those mushrooms? These dungeons are a mess, I don't want to think about what else is growing in here. It's quite pretty, though. We really need to fix that roof! I would rather not go in that cell... What if more walls collapse?

By all the gods, that could have been me! Your Grace, do you see what happened here?! If I was in the other cell, I would have been crushed! This... this is a sign. The gods have forgiven my sins! I shall serve the mighty ones. I will dedicate my life to those in need! I mean... If I could get out of here, please?

Why are you here again?

Oh. Um. Er... I bumped into the inn keeper on the street, and stepped on his toe?

How dare you tell such falsehoods? He ordered a gallon of beer, drank it all by himself and didn't even have the gold to pay for it! I know the innkeeper. He was pretty upset!

Oh yes, I think I remember...

Your Grace, I have been enlightened. I won't ever do such a stupid thing again. I will serve a higher purpose now! Just maybe... let me out?

Hmm, I'm needed at the castle wall right now. I shall think about it on my way over there.



Oh, it's you.

Do you want to talk about what happened in the Gardens?

No. I'm fine, Father.

Why didn't you want to play with us? You used to find the best spots, remember?

Maybe I'm not five anymore?

So Asalia's been pretty nasty recently. I don't know where your sister learned to be so rude.

Mhm.

I can see something's wrong. Why won't you talk to me?

Everything's fine. Don't you have things to do?

I'll leave you to it...

Sure...



Council Meeting



Welcome everyone to your first council meeting. The last council were... ahem... made redundant due to a lot of poor decisions. Namely corruption, fraud and deceit. Due to the negligence of the last council, the castle is currently in dire need of renovation and our current resources are low. We have several matters to discuss, let's begin with the requests made to the King earlier.

A peasant has asked for 5 gold and 5 supplies to cover the costs of his daughter's wedding ceremony. While this may increase the morale of our people a little, would this benefit the kingdom in any other way? If we accept this request does that mean that we should pay for every other ceremony that is asked of us? Should we Pay for the wedding or should we Just give our blessing?.

We also have a potential investment opportunity. A peasant from one of our villages has asked that we help finance the building of an inn for their villagers. Should we Give him 7 gold or should we Send him on his way?

We currently only have one General and they have been sent to investigate a problem near one of the local villages. We need to be considerate of where we send him as he can only be in one place at a time. We will start recruiting more people soon, but we are very short on staff for now.

We also need to decide whether we want to start on any repairs now or if we want to wait until we have more resources. You can see that resources are slowly being drained while these facilities are currently in a state of disrepair. We will need to start the repairs sooner rather than later, but we also don't want to spend too much just in case something unexpected turns up. Please vote if you want to Upgrade with your choice in a facility or facilities, or vote on [b]Not to upgrade
for now.

I shall now open this up for discussion and for votes to be cast!

The dungeons are in dire need of repair, we only have one cell that we can use and it's currently occupied by a petty criminal. Everyone should pay for their crimes but his crime was only a minor one and he has been in the cell for some time now. Should we Pardon him to make room in case there is a serious or should we Keep him locked up until he has paid his dues?

A peasant has asked for 5 and 5 to cover the costs of his daughter's wedding ceremony. While this may increase the morale of our people a little, would this benefit the kingdom in any other way? If we accept this request does that mean that we should pay for every other ceremony that is asked of us? Should we Pay for the wedding or should we Just give our blessing?.

We also have a potential investment opportunity. A peasant from one of our villages has asked that we help finance the building of an inn for their villagers. Should we Give him 7 or should we Send him on his way?

We currently only have one General and they have been sent to investigate a problem near one of the local villages. We need to be considerate of where we send him as he can only be in one place at a time. We will start recruiting more people soon, but we are very short on staff for now.

The dungeons are in dire need of repair, we only have one cell that we can use and it's currently occupied by a petty criminal. Everyone should pay for their crimes but his crime was only a minor one and he has been in the cell for some time now. Should we Pardon him to make room in case there is a serious or should we Keep him locked up until he has paid his dues?

We also need to decide whether we want to start on any repairs now or if we want to wait until we have more resources. You can see that resources are slowly being drained while these facilities are currently in a state of disrepair. We will need to start the repairs sooner rather than later, but we also don't want to spend too much just in case something unexpected turns up. Please vote if you want to Upgrade with your choice in a facility or facilities, or vote on Not to upgrade for now.

Just give our blessing, we can't be paying for every ding-dang wedding in our kingdom.

Finance the inn, it's going to be the first stop for so many adventures!

Keep the criminal locked up since he lied right off the bat. Honesty is the best policy.

Repair the pantry roof since we need resources for, well, living.

Give our blessing. This dude is asking for almost a full years worth of supply for a single party. Is he planning to invite elephants? No, just no.
Finance the peasant's inn. The difference between the wedding and the inn is that inns are economic infrastructure, providing a place for merchants and other travelers, like our tax collector and soldiers to stay.

We should do all the upgrades. We can afford all of them, and they're all good profit for the cost. The only one I'm not sure about is the theater, but it's only one year's taxes and it removes a penalty to a resource we don't have a reliable way to raise. Also, contentment influences our taxes, so we don't want that going down.
All the upgrades, pantry, theater and stall

Keep him locked up. No way to tell what impact either choice will have. I suspect that pardoning him will cost us contentment with no upside, but who knows. Whichever way this shakes out is fine with me, but I had to pick something.

Upgrade: Fix Market Stall. The sooner we get an investment happening, the faster it'll pay off.

Build the Inn. Investments are important. Also we can take Dusty there and many people can pet him.

Fix Pantry Roof. A constant drain on our resources is going to hurt us in the long run.

I second this

We have enough contentment for a while, and only funds and supplies seems spendable.

do not give wedding gold/supplies
give gold to build the inn
use supplies to fix the pantry
invest gold to fix the marketplace
pardon the prisoner

I don't think we should fix the theater yet. We'd be very low on gold after; perhaps too low for the next round of dilemmas.

Normally I don't make aesthetic criticisms in other peoples' homes, but that rug looks like a beaver exploded. If meat is murder, then that rug is at least a severe beating.
Most people seem to be in agreement with the voting so far. I'll keep things open for a couple of more days to give more people time to have their say.

Give our blessing, that should be good enough for that lot. And finance the peasant's inn. Let's encourage inns aplenty whenever the opportunity rises. On that note, should probably fix the pantry roof as well, that's important.

I agree with all of these.

Bless the wedding, it's not our duty to pay for parties

Build the inn, we can tax it later

Leave the dude locked up, he's only going to do something dumb and end up right back in there anyway

Fix the pantry and the market stall,
we need resources.

I'm going to close the voting now. If I have added things up correctly:

Pay for the wedding - 0 Votes
Just give our blessing - 9 votes

Give him the Gold - 12 votes
Send him on his way - 0 votes

Pardon him - 5 votes
Keep him locked up - 2 votes

Pantry - 12 votes
Market - 7 votes
Theatre - 1 vote


I'm going to go ahead with everything in bold. The wedding and inn were unanimous and releasing the prisoner had the majority of votes. Fixing the pantry and market were very popular choices so I'll be going ahead with those. The theatre only had one vote so I'll be leaving that for now. I'll start work on the next update soon and I will hopefully have something up within the next few days.
