Medieval Diplomacy Strategy

You're truly pathetic. From page 108:

I find it bizarre that a player would grant full passage to his realm to somebody who just entered the game including allowing the other player to enter his capital city which is undefended ................ [b]Only a complete fool or a cheat would have done such a thing.

Maybe you should also look up what a "direct statement" is.[/b]

Since, contrary to popular belief, I'm not a total prick; I will apologize to KnightWulfe for stating that he might have cheated. The GM is right; I should have simply sent my concerns to him and not made a public half-accusation.

I still think it's a boneheaded play, but if it works for him, it works for him. I wouldn't suggest anybody else do ...[text shortened]... RATEGY thread) but screw it. So KW you have my formal apology for the public half-accusation.

Well, the foolishness or otherwise of numerous players will really only be determined by how the game plays out. There are plenty of alliances to be made and broken yet, and it will be interesting to see how the major groupings that currently exist will play out.

Personally I'll be paying close attention to whether the biggest 'alliance' (although I'm not sure if they're all allied to each other formally, or merely neutral in some cases) that seems to have developed will hold together, and for how long. The bigger the group, the tougher it will be to maintain cohesion. And the sooner they will run out of external enemies to fight.

Meanwhile, smaller groupings will have less difficulty co-ordinating their efforts, but also fewer resources to play with.

And so, nothing more need be said but the motto of all spectators:

MORE POPCORN!

Well, lets just say that no1 has already clearly stated that he thinks me a complete fool and I am not going to deny him that thought.


And no, I don't beat my wife. 😛

So will the Dark Lord now be offering less than minimum wage for his new SE Asian cannon-fodder troops that he is able to pick up on the international market?

Ho ho ho...the peasants will get the same deal as always...the commissar's choice: go forward for an infinitesimal chance of survival or be skewered by your faithful commissar.

You know man...despite the fact that you ATTACKED MY ALLY and HELPED MY ENEMY I like you. If you stop interfering in my war maybe we can be friends.

Er...which ally? which enemy? which war? As far as I know I was only helping myself. Sure, we can be friends. Wanna see my skull collection?

Arles was my ally. I am at war with Venice and Sicily. Stay out of it.

Arles is still around, you know.

Seems a bit one-sided, your war. You can see the vultures, rooks, carrion crows and ravens wheeling over Venice from Barcelona...

"Pay your respects to the vultures
for they are your future"

--By the way--you're not going to demolish the bone church, are you? Maybe you could build a few more, Magyar style.
