The mission: Your story in Zierikzee
You are to inhabit the city of Zierikzee as part of your assignment to capture the Zeeland isles, but it has already been a long and challenging battle.
Your men, exhausted and malnourished, have not been paid for almost two years. To prevent them from mutiny you have to find compensation. You start to collect emergency coins, which have replaced regular money because of the lack of precious metals.
