I'm collecting to buy blankets for the widows and orphans of Italy and Bavaria 🙂 Send gold c/o James the Just, King of Aragon.
But if he's truly maxed out his income on upkeep then the loss of 17 gold will hurt him plenty. Many French troops may just decide to go home.
Edit: Nope. I count his income as being 51 gold per turn and his upkeep as being 35 gold.
Good question. We should list all rules corrections and clarifications we've so far discovered so that we can modify the rulebook for personal use. One such little "rule correction" would be a bug I read about which won't apply to our game anytime soon but is still good to know: apparently allies of the person who controls Byzantium have some sort of advantage in moving through Byzantium with naval units. This doesn't apply to the owner himself though. I forget the details, but I think the ally doesn't have to spend a movement point to enter Byzantium or something like that.

Originally posted by rwingettBut they'll only take back what they lost. So Aragon could pull out this turn, meaning he won't lose any troops and will have gained 17 gold this turn.

Originally posted by Freddie2006It's no wonder your kingdom is in such a state of decrepitude, you obviously have no idea how this game works. In order for Aragon to get the gold from Chamgagne, he'd have to annex it. It would cost him 17 gold to do so. The chances are that France will take it back before Aragon can collect on his investment.

If I was within trebuchet range of you, I'd declare war on you instantly.
