So a good atmosphere is pointless?

I absolutely loved the throneroom. I didn't always clap my hands when the same emmisary came to propose a cease fire for the fith tim after his faction had broken the previous. But like with the ninjamovies, after a while I would begin to love it again. Especially when you get the Portuguese captain. Ow, he is absolutely lovely! Arrogant, heavily accented, bad language (because he couldn't be bothered with learning it properly) and stomps all over local traditions by wearing the boots and sword in the inner sanctum. Even his bows were sloppy and more an insult rather than a proper action of respect.

And of course the beheading of an emmisary... Perfect.

Servius, I believe I have seen a betashot of the Geisha actually doing that. Pulling a tanto to kill an obnoxious emmisary. Too bad it didn' make it (especially when it could happen to you).

The advisor was also supreme. His would give a little poem that could be easy or hard to read the meaning of, but there was a meaning and it reflected your current situation economically, militarily or politically.
