Can it be stated that Grubbak is my least favorite ally. Look I get it, it's a hard life being an orc with a people with a very low IQ. But I have to agree with TradeSmasher with not liking how he is trying to build the nation, he is too much of a dreamer and is taking shortcuts to get it.

For example Balia gives him and all other orcs a way to achieve intelligence and more free will and he offers us his eternal thanks, we give him a huge chunk on the continent and he gives us his eternal thanks, we give him the deeds of Vinario now worth at least 1,000,000 pron or perhaps even priceless and he offers us his eternal thanks, he asks us to float him a loan of 1,000,000 Pron in return to jump starting his own diplomacy project and in return offers....his eternal thanks.

The guy really needs to find a way to use Tak'kan to make that pron on his own and not ask Simon for something every time he needs it. I get it will be slower a lot slower for the orcs to develop on their own, but really it would be for the best because they can say they forged their path on THEIR own for orcs, and not with the constant guidance and charity of others.

And really the 1,000,000 politics investment is what most upsets me he literally put a price on influence in his nation. A system where an OUTSIDER can just pay Grubbak for a seat in major political discussions seems a bit corrupt. A generous ruler would deny his request for aid, and a less generous ruler would accept and like Aram did to Eustrin turn the just now free orc nation into vassal slaves when they control all major economic and political centers.
