    And by modern you of course mean you are building forges and training grounds, siege workshops and jousting rings. We shall send a diplomat to your island as soon as we can spare the boat. He shall witness your prosperity first hand.

    The Welsh diplomat approaches the English representative.

    My liege wishes to bring an end to this destructive war. He was enraged to hear that his brother Dafyd fell outside Caernarvon, and drove off your king and his son from their siege of Gloucester.

    The young Prince Edward has fled into a castle with a few men, which my liege has promptly laid siege to. He wishes a ceasefire to be concluded so that he is not forced to end Edward's life.

    He has sent terms to the King at Shrewsbury(in-game message).

    The Englishman salutes his colleague and nods. "Yes sire, indeed I have heard. King Henry has sent word of thine liege's prowess on the battlefield. He has replied wtih our terms, and ye must remember that the moral law is on our side, as Wales was the initiator of this agression. Ireland offered us peace and peace they reveived, but you offered us sword and axe, and have been repaid in kind.

    My King also wishes to point out that whilst we have lösot some minor provinces to thine nimble troops, Caernarvon is ours and a third of thine force faces the gallows should you continue this war. King Llywelyn might be the fiercest general since William the Bastard but he can do little without troops to command. If prince Edward is lost to us, there shall be no further diplomacy utnill either Engalnd or Wales is no more."

    Admiral Niels is near Dumfries but we see it is currently under Norwegian control. Please inform us of a settlement that he may sail to to establish an Irish outpost no the mainland of Britain.

    Dumfries is in the best location. Despite its small size it commands a large section of southern Scotland. No Scottish settlement on the west coast is located as centrally between factions...

    We had thought a diplomat would be sent to acquire it. It can also be abandoned to local rebels for your men to take over.
