[QUOTE=Ciaran]I don´t know why, but I´m really bad at the diplomacy business. I usually have my emisaries all over the place, pestering the other kings for marriages and alliances, but they´ll never agree. Not only if they´re allied to factions that are at war with me, all the time. [QUOTE]

Once your country/empire grows big enough, nobody wants to be your fiend. In my case, I have never attacked a faction without being attacked first but I have no allies and three enemies ( all the rest are eliminated by me or are pissing their pants if someone mentions fair England 'insane laughter' )
