The Weak Attacker? But I won!

Went back and looked and he was Sir Gerard de Ridefort... I felt bad that I had killed him off so quickly until I read a little more about him ...

Quite a fellow... do you reckon he was barmy or was he a great warrior?
Interesting how a single person (albeit in a position of authority) can have such a big effect on a Kingdom.
Thanks for posting the link.

Glad you liked the link. I get a real kick out of the historical aspects of the games - I like that historical characters show up and want to try to replicate some of their historical feats in my GA games. (Hopefully not too many of their failures!) The same game I spotted an English bishop named Thomas Beckett roaming around Europe - three stars.

I got the feeling the guy was a bit of a nutter. I recently picked up a copy of "The Templars" by Piers Paul Read - fun read so far, though I haven't gotten to anything about Sir Gerard yet.... Given his online bio, I thought the "poor attacker" vice was pretty appropriate.

Best,
