Hang on, I know that eyes-and-triangle icon. If you are on the Something Positive LJ, then you'll know why I dedicate Strongholds & Dynasties to someone called PeeJee in the Designer's Notes section. ;) Ahem. Back to the subject. Yes, S&D does indeed handle population growth, linking it in...

I live to serve. ;) You will find this in S&D; it's an important part of the warfare concept. You can hire mercenaries with the revenue you get from trading off your local production, or you can equip your own army with the metal/leather/horseflesh goods you produce, or you can sequester...

Just assume that everything she says is matched by an equivalent amount of burble for her character and go by the rule that more than six seconds of speech is no longer a free action. :)

Salmagundy. From the famous sailors' stew that had all kinds of bits of dubious flesh in it. Or, on a similar note, Ghoulash.

Horripilations are the sensations caused by hair standing up on the back of one's neck and arms. A dandelion clock is a dandelion in its puffy, seed-releasing stage; English children have a game whereby the amount of puffs it takes to blow all the seeds from the dandelion is said to be the hour...
