DOW? They had stocks in medieval times?
As for time of death, its totally dependent on chance. You have a higher chance once your char age hits 60 and reloading can push a char further in age than he normally would have lived, so there isn't anything to spoil.

Wow, I think we set a new record for shortest time between the start of the Chancellorship and the first Elector complaints about the new term.

Yeah, time for an emegerncy session while we're at it eh? Might as well set another record :p

LOL, I doubt an emergency session is in order because I forgot to check to see if anything had already been queued up in Staufen. It's all puffery and bluster, the usual Diet/Senate fun. Though to be fair, Mandorf is self-righteous and feels superior in his new found faith. If you expected him to pander to personal interests once he assumed the office, you should've voted for... well... you probably should have abstained.

Great story OverKnight. I think this will be an interesting term in office.

Apologies - I can be pretty anal about PBMs. (Ask DDW and Lucjan about me and churigeons - poor Numerius never got one, despite kicking up a fuss about them.) In my solo games, the only buildings I really care about are the key castle upgrades. Getting swordsmen and decent missiles are my priorities in Western factions as those upgrades can transform the way you fight battles; all the other buildings tend to give only incremental benefits. In that respect, the M2TW tech tree is rather shallow compared to most other TW games.

No apologies needed at all econ21. You have totally legitimate points. Fortress grants dismounted feudal knights by default, right? That would definitely be useful. I personally am a trade freak in all my solo games. If you remember, I campaigned Verginius on a policy of domestic development as well, and I've devoted all construction in Nuremburg to trade and taxes.

I actually think that what we need even more than swordsmen is siege equipment. I'll definitely be making sure we have catapult facilities by the end of my term and hopefully trebuchets as well.
