Emissary assassinated

[Gilrandir]

I don't remember the details - I mean whether I offered all I had or not - but it seems unfair both to kill the emissary and to purloin the money. El Cid might have chosen this or that. But now that I know what a failed bribe offer may lead to (and the replies to my message confirm that it was not at all exceptional or accidental) I will be more cautious.
As for Prince Cobra's disappointment - well, actually I didn't re-start right away. I dawdled for a couple of years with an empty teasury and no chance to train anyone or build anything watching kingdoms around me expand and prosper (perhaps it was my demented imaginination - how can one prosper in a couple of years?). Then I tried to invade something and my game crashed on transition to the battle map. So I figured out I had some problems with the game and started to look for solutions. When everything was fixed I thought I'd better commence anew.
And finally. To whom it may concern (read victorgb). English is not my mother tongue. My game is not in English. So I tentatively associate the titles, units, terms and names I see in MTW with what I guess to be their English-language counterparts. This is the reason for spelling (and probably other kinds of) inaccuracies I sometimes may sport. If the said inaccuracies offend your linguistic feelings in any way, I apologize. Being often pressed for time so that I don't do any googling before I post something I don't always live up to your expectations.
