Some Hashishin you are, for not loading your galleons with smoking material and sailing them to directly to Trondelag! The outrage!
--It was stashed in the hold of an Aquitainian carrack. Either your customs officials are too zealous or they smoked it all themselves. And you are sluggish enough with your beer as it is.

Aragon is of course incredibly handsome; Castile's looks are marred by a weak chin, but he's not what I'd call ugly. The Sultana of Roum has been unwell of late, and age is always more unkind to women (we are all 22 years older than when this saga began), but she has not lost her striking looks. Morocco is leathery but distinguished, Norway looks like Santa Claus, and who could call him ugly? The king of Sicily has classic corn-fed features, albeit somewhat wooden. Now as to the fruit of the ugly tree--Khan Ozbeg looks like he ran into the back of a wagon rolling down a hill; the Duke of Aquitaine is the archetypal choleric and looks as though he's never removed his armour; apoplexy has done the Duke of Bavaria no good at all; but the most hideous visage belongs to High Priest Ferenc, ruler of Hungary, whose pallid, haggard face of a devil-worshipping carnifex has even this mirror shuddering, and I've been around the block, I'll tell you.
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the ugliest ruler of them all?

What's this doing on the 3rd page?
Didn't somebody say they were going to keep up with no1's ranking methods?
However, real life has taken that time away from me and I have almost no time to do anything familial, let alone recreational. I am able to make my chess moves on RHP from work, but cannot access the game, so cannot make the chart.
As I will be finishing this game and not quitting, what very little time I do have for this game will be spent playing it rather than doing the ranking system.
If I am around in 8-10 turns (when I will again have more time) then I can pick it up at that point.
Here is a quicky though (based strictly on approximations and province values)
1 - Golden Horde
2 - Aragon
3 - Morocco
4 - Hungary
5 - Aquitaine
6 - Castile
7 - Saxony (though a bot now)
8 - Bavaria
9 - Sicily
10 - Norway
11 - Roum
12 - Mamlukes
13 - Byzantine
14 - Venice
Looks like Venice could not be much weaker and still be in the game, with only a single 6 gold province and but a commander and no troops of which to speak. The Horde is way out front, but looks to be soon fighting many enemies. Can he hold out? Hungary and Aragon have grown with significance in the last couple turns, taking large bites out of the fast falling Bavaria. Morocco steadily expands and Aquitaine launches a surprise attack taking Prussia. Certainly now a threat to the great Horde. Norway holds out, while the Saxon Lord suddenly disappears and leaves a leaderless nation. A significant impact for all, to be sure.

Bosse, come on, l am a modern day Moroccan ruler - we are with the times (fashion wise) l have daily spa treatments using precious & rare minerals found near Ouarsazate to give my skin that smooth texture that the ladies love.
