Nice battle, Q. Good to see you getting the hang of the game (although as you've discovered, the enemy can still surprise you!).

Giving Sir William Longchamp the crown of Scotland was an especially nice move, btw. There's nothing like a governor with high dread to help keep the locals in line.


In regards to myself, I'll hopefully have something to post this evening when I get home. I just started a Portuguese campaign last night (XL mod), although I haven't really done anything yet. I've built up an army that's ready to take a province or two, but I have yet to decide who my target should be.

As a good Catholic, I know I ought to go after the Muslim Almoravids. They're much more powerful than myself, however, and a war with them could quickly lead to my downfall. On the other hand, I have a decent chance of taking out Castille-Leon if I act quickly. Ah, decisions, decisions....
