I have looked at the two latest saves.

I considered two options: 1. Immediately playing on from 1096-4 save. The IC result would be that the Seneschal caught wind of a proposed alliance with England and quashed it. Following this Hugues cancelled the funds for the mercenaries that Philippe requested, leaving the King unable to move on the Kaiser.

2. Accepting the latest save. The IC result would be that Hugues would immediately cancel the new alliance with the diplomat in Paris and call for an Emergency Session.

Option number two is tempting. However, there are ways within the current rules for Philippe to get what he wants that would be just as dramatic. Perhaps it would be riskier and take longer to implement, but I haven't even completed one turn as Seneschal in almost four days.

Allowing this violation of the rules would, I believe, set a dangerous precedent. Others might try "dramatic" actions with a save, hoping that they would receive retroactive permission to do so if what they did created IC conflict. Such fishing expeditions would, I believe, cause further delays in game play and prolonged rules discussions.

The next turn should begin in a few hours.

Hoping we’ve gone for option 1 here! IC it pits the Royal family more directly against the Council, sides will be draw up that won’t have an impact for a good few turns and I’d love to read the IC story around this from both sides.

OK I’m a little concerned with the oddities being displayed by the game currently, the last two battles have had what can only be described as “Bugs” in them mainly revolving around them being classed for some reason as Night-Fights.

Must admit that my archers have ALWAYS defaulted to Fire Arrows for all my test battles so far…was this the case from the onset?

Whilst getting the night-fight trait can be seen as good, are we experiencing some potential issues that will compound later?

(on a semi-related note, in one of my test games my monarch was 18 and my biological son was “born” at age 29!! Seen this sort of thing many years back in Rome, which was fixed, same bug perhaps?)
