Editing Kingdoms: Overview of the Game System (section)

===Springtime - Season of Growth===
Each year starts with Spring, the Season of Growth and Renewal.

During this phase the King can strengthen his kingdom, through various means:

* He can recruit men to his '''Armies''' to replace losses, though he can never have more than eight.
* He can apportion '''Boons''' to his armies and his court, expending '''Glamour''' to achieve this.
* He can build '''Improvements''' to his realm, again at cost of '''Glamour'''.
* If available, he can hire '''Mercenaries''', bidding '''Glamour''' for their service for the remainder of the year.

The Kings are the main actors during Springtime.

Other Pieces have only a few specific actions they can attempt:
* '''Captives''' can try to '''Escape''' and return to their courts.
* The '''Queen''' may be able to perform rituals, spending her Court's '''Glamour''' to achieve impressive sorcerous effects.
