In essence I am a turtler, my current campaign reflects this as I am 30 turns in with York, Canaervon, Nottingham and London under English rule, Caen was sold to France for an Alliance which has so far lasted the full 15 years.

Scotland have taken Dublin and Inverness but have made no attempts to encroach on my land, Dublin is isolated as I have blocked the landbridge with a couple of ships. A crusade has been called and I am tempted to send King Rufus, I have estimated that he will be away until he is 56 but with no upkeep to pay I will be very rich and with no threats to my land peace and prosperity will see out the reign of Rufus.

I am teching up in my towns and cities and ballistas are availiable to me, these will be crucial in disposing of Scotland in one turn and therefore keeping the Pope happy.
