Transcript:A Start

This is the transcript for the first Stronghold 3 economic mission, A Start.
==Intro==
Lady Catherine: It almost doesn't matter who starts a war, or what it's about. Most people - the farmers, the workers, the families - they don't care. They only care that their lives are torn apart, that nothing is the same as it used to be. During the war, villages, towns, settlements... were all destroyed.
We watched the Abbey fall, and along with it, our hope.
The hardest part of war comes after it's over, when the person in charge of the lands has to rebuild, has to try to give the people back a part of what they lost. After this war, I am that person. I suddenly find myself with a nation full of people, who want nothing more than to get their lives back. 
We shall start with the Abbey: the symbol of hope and peace, and through that rebuilding, perhaps we might help all my people rebuild in their own way. We have few resources. Only the greatest builders could hope to achieve so much with so little.
----
Lady Catherine: One of the first things to go during the war was our resources. We lost all our stone, our wood, our tools - stolen by cruel pigs with little thought for the people. Before we can even think about rebuilding the Abbey, we need to set up a quarry to help start the supply of those precious resources flowing again.

Storyteller: Before we can even think about rebuilding the Abbey, we need to set up a working quarry that will supply the stone and also the wood for the building works.
==Gameplay==
Scribe: Sire, Lady Catherine's ambition to rebuild the Abbey is a noble one indeed, although I see many problems to come in the days ahead. Right now however, speed is of the essence, as the wood and stone needs to be shipped very soon, ahead of the craftsmens' arrival.
Scribe: Sire, this site is rich in stone deposits, but we may have to clear some of the undergrowth away first to get at them.
Scribe: Liege, we are high in the hills here and bears roam freely in these parts. Our peasants need protection if they are to work unmolested.
Scribe: A bear, sire! The peasants beseech us to send some troops, to protect them.
