Alessandra was working on ways to better defend the city. One-way escape routes were in place and the hidden chambers in the palace were in good repair. Now she needed ways to just defend the place from a full frontal assault.

Alterations on the gates were started. The gate was going to be plated in ebony. It would take a time, but it would be worth it.

A raven messenger was sent to Bruma, a close-ish city. It held a message asking for trade routes to be opened between the two. Cheydinhal asked what goods they had to offer in exchange for quality crops of all kinds, gold ore, and septims.

Due to the gold ore, Cheydinhal was one location that actually made septims. The taxes on the townspeople were practically unnecessary.

(How do I gain new technology, such as catapults and ballistae?) (You, as you have a major city, have around 1000 soldiers. To get more you need to conquer or vassilize other towns and villages. They will give you part of their levies. As for catapult and ballistae, mostly everyone has that technology. You just need to build them when you require them for sieges.)
