Ericssons' toil: A Danes story

[Zain]

Hmm... I will think twice before attacking these guys, possibly the bribing cost will be low, and my army size will go way up!

I bribe a lot for the reasons stated above. No damage to province as well as a ready made garrison. Also I'm a bit of a passifist... you know relatively... when I take over Europe through violent conquest. When I start a campaign I'll often bribe a nearby good provine if I can. Anyways, I'm looking forward to the next update.

Nice job Zain, please continue. But I have one question:

In secret, all 21 were hanged in trees beside the Swedish capital, and Burislev Tryggvasson was beheaded by Prince Olaf himself, in front of a huge crowd in the Swedish Capital.

How do you *secretly* behead a guy in front of a huge crowd?

[Csargo]

I think he means the 21 were hanged in secret and the other guy was killed in public.

[Zain]

Csar's got it.

Good story, thank you for it.

Acumen 6 is worth a bribe, always.

In my last Italian campaign I have sent middle size army against huge Turkish force in Georgia just to get the acumen 8 Georgia governor out of the besieged castle. Battle was won with huge losses but in 2 turns I had to retreat from both Georgia and Trebizond (pushed by huge stacks).

The person mentioned (lord Piccolomini,btw) was saved and shipped from Constantinople to safety. In his present job as the governor of Flanders he brings me about 900 - 1000 fl. a year.

I wish you and your empire success in this campaign and look forward to read more.

Sorry about not posting this weekend, I had company over the whole time. I've got about half of my next issue done though.
