Pope relation with scots is at -2 ( i was always annoyed by pope's love for them - i love scots but in this game is impossible to fight'em & not having serious problems with Papas) and i need some papal backup (the positive value of "0,4" to us loosers) given the power of "the highlands"

HRE is roaming (at wealth = boundless ) & they rejected my alliance proposal.

France is massing troops both to Caen & at HRE border.

& in this creepy europe i'm kind of screwed....
HRE at war with milan ( given the power that milan's cheap units can display on battlefield i recon HRE will keep them at bay if not getting hold of them ...)
turks r at war with Biz ( in the hope that helped by their plus will hold Constantinople - other wise they never do...)
all this in turn 6 !
I hope that now getting hold of the english islands & at least holding the normandy will be a real challenge & for 1 y/t & at vh/vh i really have little hopes of wining ...
