Example: Listing Realm Assets

The three estates
Just like a standard RPG will have an "inventory page" with all the items you own, a strategy RPG will have an inventory of all the assets that the entire realm owns. Of course, some of those "assets" are individual heroes that will themselves have detailed character sheets. Here I've given an example of a list of Realm Assets in fairly compact form. Many additional details could be added from various character sheets and maps.

Note that I've scaled back the original population figures from what I rolled up last fall, to reflect the fact that clerics should get a discount on castle-building, but that this shouldn't allow them to start the game with double the population of everyone else!

Next up, I'll give an example of how to keep a log that assigns your personnel to various tasks over the course of a turn (one month), and then how to do budget various ongoing expenses at the end of the month.
