OOC: Legionnaires have 5 defense, they are harder to kill, 5 workers would do the same stats wise but it's easy to have them die, plus Legionnaires can be trained to use weapons, you still don't have weapons but one day you'll have them. Taking the builders is a good idea as they aren't great but do add 5 defense.

Dear Yabapmatt,

As the most promising colony as of the date, the Empire is thrilled to have your enthusiasm and your investors' attention.

As such, I'm ordering @eonwarped to stop collecting taxes on your colony for 5 turns.

That will leave you with an income of 1 gold coin per turn, which you are fit to use to grease some palms.

Regards,
