Formidable warriors join the Clubswingers

While the Clubswingers are focusing on their production and trading businesses as well as improving their infrastructure, they have surely not forgotten about their war preparations. Though the Clubswingers are very peaceful and friendly people, they are prepared to act in case vile enemies threaten them in any way.

Thus, the Clubswingers started investing a share of their profits into training new formidable mounted warriors, ready to spread fear and despair to their enemies.

These new warriors are very fearsome indeed, able to attack viciously the enemies of the Clubswingers and eliminate them without much effort. Hundreds of these new warriors are being trained already, and soon the Clubswingers will have at their disposal an offensive force that most can't even dream about at this stage.

Irrigation techniques improving production

The productivity boon at the Clubswingers' village has reached its pinnacle over the past few days. The council of the Clubswingers consolidated the situation and decided to invest a lot more resources on another irrigation channel, providing a lot more water for the ever expanding fields:

Meanwhile a lot of infrastructure buildings are being built to support the ever growing production and trading centers. What started a small village a few weeks ago is now becoming a large town with two suburbs already.

Reliable sources are suggesting that the Clubswingers have found some new potential trade partners and are considering to increase their trader population soon again.

Advanced Warfare Technology

A lot of days are passing peacefully in the Clubswingers village. The trading resumes unhindered and investment in production facilities goes on well. Things go so well that celebrations are held to both trade centers on a daily basis.

The Clubswingers have noticed though that somewhere in the area evil enemies might be gathering forces to strike them. The enemies gather behind their walls and there are rumours everywhere that they are plotting to destroy the Clubswingers and disband their trading missions.

Though these rumours are unconfirmed and noone may want to harm the Clubswingers, their board of directors decided to invest a few of the resources to prepare for the worst before its too late. As an old saying mentions "If you want to keep peace, start preparing for war".

The Clubswingers thus payed their scientists to increase their research rates and they managed to come up with a few advanced military suggestions, both offensive and defensive. Below you may see the new wonder of the Clubswinger technology, a powerful offensive unit constructed with the best materials and manned by the best fighters in the world:

Productivity rapidly increasing

The main trade center of the Clubswingers has undergone a few important upgrades over the past couple of days. New techniques have been applied to some of the croplands around the the town center and their productivity has increased a lot. These new techniques are going to be applied now to the rest of the croplands as well.

Meanwhile the Clubswingers found another way to increase their productivity. They managed to use water from a nearby lake to water the fields. As soon as the water arrived, all the fields in the area started producing a lot more food and some say the quality of the food may have improved as well.

The lake was infested with wild animals, even crocodiles, and the Clubswingers payed a heavy toll of blood in order to clear them. However in the end their hero prevailed and the lake became theirs.

Several defenders have been placed in the lake to prevent enemies from destroying the water pipes.

A suburb emerges

Not much have been going on in the Clubswingers' trade centers during the past few days. The trading missions are being conducted as usual and the resources gathered are invested in their infrastructure.

The most important event that took place in the past few days was the founding of a new suburb next to the Clubswingers' main trade center. The new suburb facility was required because more space for infrastructure  buildings appeared to be necessary. The new suburb was also built in a fertile area, promising to provide food for a large amount of inhabitants in the future.

We have managed to secure a picture of the new suburb during its inauguration event:

A hybrid business model emerges

The Clubswingers' vastly successful start has given foundation to a great era of booming. Based on the high revenues from their trading activities, they have managed to setup over the past couple of weeks two growing trading centers. A chunk of the revenues was invested in cultivating fields and production facilities and we heard that yesterday they even managed to setup a legendary building called bakery:

The council of the Clubswinger leaders gathered to consolidate their efforts so far and plan for the future. They have noticed a very important trend: that the resources gathered from trading, no matter how vast they are, could potentially be outclassed by investing in their own production facilities and resource fields. This trend became obvious after consolidating the profits of their first village: too many competitors in the area and  a gradual reduction in the numbers of trading partners were the root causes of the problem.

The council decided to slowly dismantle the trading business from the first village and leave a nominal trading force to keep some old customers satisfied. The whole of the trading business is going to move to their second village which seems to have far greater potential. However, that area is going to decline as well in the future and the Clubswingers are already making plans to invest in production there, as well.

Still, the trading income is still very high and most of the activities from the short term are expected to come from trading.

The hero of the Clubswingers finds powerful artifacts

The hero of the Clubswingers has increased his power a lot during the past few days. Tirelessly doing quest after quest and searching for treasures in various places, he has learned a lot of new combat techniques. He also came across a lot of powerful artifacts, weapons and armor that he found or traded.

Using his newfound strength, he is now helping the peaceful merchants in their efforts for finding new resources while at the same time he is contributing to their defenses in case evil outsiders come to plunder their riches. The stronger he becomes, the better for the Clubswingers.

Merchant population is rapidly increasing

Today we received some insider information that the Clubswinger merchant's population has already exceeded 1000. With so many merchants available, the increase in the incoming resources is significant and they have been able to extend their trade missions in even longer distances.

Meanwhile, the scouts sent all over the area are coming back with a lot of information about mythic resource deposits the Clubswingers can claim. Sometimes though these reports are not accurate and hidden dangers may appear at any time; for the time being the Clubswinger merchants stay close to their safest routes instead and go for steady yields.

We have managed to secure a report about a cache hidden treasures but noone knows if the resources are still there or if the report was accurate in the first place:

Rearranging the trade activities

During the past few days, there has been a significant shift in the way the Clubswingers are conducting their business. They noticed that the untapped trading potential in their newly settled trade center was vastly superior to the initial one and thus decided to gradually move the center of their activities there. Here is a report that shows their current trading trends:

As the trading activities shift away from the initial trade center, the Clubswingers' minister of finance decided to shift the initial center's economic model from a trading one to a production facility, while maintaining a minimum amount of trading activities. One of our paparazzi managed to sneak past the Clubswinger scouts and take a picture of some new buildings that verify this change in the economic model.

Clubswingers under attack

Last night Clubswingers were under attack! Fierce horsemen from the east came to plunder their precious resources. The Clubswingers' scouts were ready to spot the danger in time though and they managed to hide the riches. Some hired troops were killed during the attack, forcing the Clubswingers to reduce their profit margins to hire additional warriors for protection.

We have been informed though that the trade activity is proceeding more than fine, and the Clubswingers' balance is highly positive despite the losses they suffered. Now that the second trade center's activity has increased, even more profits are expected in the coming days.

A Wall Street expert we talked with is advising everyone to buy Clubswingers stock as soon as possible, since huge yields are expected in the future.

Revenue increasing techniques

The Clubswingers have now successfully setup 2 different trade centers that operate all day long. However the revenue yields are not quite satisfactory as of yet; thus the Clubswingers decided to employ a couple of techniques.

The first technique that they employed is the classic competition elimination. Competing merchants were sabotaged and more room was created for the Clubswingers to operate:

Another technique they used is to get rid of some of the wildlife in their area, and tap into their resources. With the wild animals killed, the merchants managed to find some nice treasures in their lairs.

New town starting to flourish

It has only been a day since the Clubswingers settled in this new area. Thanks to the hard working merchants sending resources from the previous settlement, the new town is already starting to come to life. Some trade missions have already started, in an ongoing effort to find more resources:

Meanwhile, the town infrastructure is already being improved, and the population of the new settlement is rapidly increasing:

A new Heaven

The Clubswingers' boom quickly led them to search for new areas to expand and discover more trade opportunities. Using a fair share of resources that were hardly collected over the previous days, they funded an expedition.

The expedition was highly successful; using some information the Clubswingers' payed dearly to acquire, they found themselves after only a few hours of travelling in a hidden heaven among oases. The fertile land is very promising and it could be an ideal location for a really huge city in the future.

They promptly claimed the area and started building their infrastructure there, hoping to use it as a base to expand their trading.

Trading continues to boom

Not much have changed since the last time we heard news from the Clubswingers' village. The trading business continues as usual and the population is increasing as the village infrastructure is getting into place.

Some of these trade missions prove to be extremely successful, while others might have a bad ending (often resulting in the death of a few merchants). The trade minister of the Clubswingers was kind enough to provide us with an exclusive sample of the trade mission outcomes:

Newfound Friends

While the party continues for yet another day, and everyone is having a great time at the Clubswingers' village, it seems the great buzz has attracted some more friends. A group of spear fighters and paladins came to the party to check what's going on.



They spent the night there and they liked the environment so much that they decided to hang on with the Clubswingers, swearing to helm them fulfill their goals.

Meanwhile, one of our paparazzi managed to sneak inside the Clubswingers' village, avoiding their scouts, and  he managed to get an exclusive picture of their village:
