Ah, alright - I did not realise we had already pretty much covered that contingency. The rules are surprisingly comprehensive. I should read them more often.
Hermant's stance is determined by the King; it would be hard for a military order dedicated to serving the King to oppose a war that the King is legally entitled to declare regardless of what anyone else wants. Next game, I'm forming a pacificist order dedicated to gardening and quiet contemplation.Almost everyone wants war, they're just fighting over the particulars.
I don't know what the solution to the IC lust for war vs the OOC desire for a challenge is. Right now we are like a bunch of cats trapped in a sack. We have an aggressive monarch and Prince, plus a lot of army-less, province-less warriors looking for something to do or perhaps someone to do in. Historically, I think the solution to the under-employed warriors was lots of tournaments and crusades. Maybe we should try that. In game terms, if Zim wants, I volunteer to buff up the English and Germans so that taking on England and holding the east will be as hard as it should be. Just give me the word.![]()
