MTW-Redux Beta Released!

[William the Silent]

Well, at the moment I'm not so happy the way things are going.
I'm playing the english at hard.

I established myself first by building a good economy (for troop build-up and all other progress) and and securing Normandy against any invasion.
Put a spy in every province for stability. Build up superior see-power around the Isles. Then take ALL of the Isles. If I would leave Scotland independent, it could be taken by some overwhelming force from somewhere. And I would be faced with some big problem in my backyard Bozewolf .
Scotland can be stabalised with 240 troops, a church and a spy and taking a peek at their stability every turn on "High Tax", with the sea secured.

I make alliances with everybody. Look for wives for my sons.

Now about my struggles:
I was in peace with everybody. I believe the World was in total peace with everybody at that time. Only rebels had to fear war. The perfect world.
So I took Flanders/Friesland (my place of birth) and I didn't offend anybody.

But all of a sudden France invades my terratory. I kick them out and show them who is the boss.
But what happens: the whole world condems me for being the agressor and I loose all my friends except the Lombards.
That's all fine with me, because noone can challenge me at that point, in battle, because I have nuclear weapons.

But what I come to find out is that no one, I mean no one, wants to marry my sons, not even the Lombards. So after my king dies I'm left with a sonless new king. I survive that, but not the second time. Not even a moslim wants to give their daughters to my sons.
So in the year 828 my king dies with a son of 10 years old at an age of 53. I try to revive him by reloading my saves and give him some more years, but no, the judgement of Redux is final. 53 Years. And for the first time in my life I see the looser screen .

128 Turns of dedication, glory, noble deeds, patience, love, sweat and tears for nothing. Shall I start all over? I'm broken .
Give me a reason to start over Axalon?
