    Good work this year TC. Looks like we can milk the Russians every year for a good 2000 florins now eh? They still have a lot of funds.

    Also, its good to hear the assassin has been taken care of. I'm surprised a sub 1 assassin managed to kill Sigismund.

    Further, did you demolish all non town buildings before converting settlements? That can recoup some cash, even though personally I almost never convert castles.

    Lastly, even though I admire your diplomatic skill, edict 5.29 does say no training of new diplomats. But then I don't know just how many we have to begin with.

    Ack! Elsebeth is a freaking cow! She does have a hare lip and a hump. I know it's a diplomatic marriage and all but that's just cruel. Good to know she has a +1 piety and a 5% bonus to trade income because of her "tutor". Too bad that will have no game effect at all since she's not a general.

    On a more practical note, this will decrease the chance of Otto having biological kids. I hope the game will throw some adoptees his way then.

    Edit: Great Story GH. It was moving, and a fitting farewell to Sigismund. Nazgul3, if that's your addition at the end, good job as well. Bavaria seems to be teeming with warrior-clerics.

    Ah crap! I didnt even notice that part. I was focused entirely on complying by getting trade agreements with the last 3 nations (Scotland, Turks, Egypt). No diplomat was anywhere near the middle east, so the only way to get the last two was to train a new one in Vienna. I didnt read the parentheses on that one.

    Grr... feel free to reprimand Max for that error.

    Ignoramus: your PM box is full again.

    I've revised the assassination story to give it an epilogue and since your PM box is full, I've posted it in spoiler tags in the story thread. Please PM me with any additions by tomorrow evening. Cheers.

    Btw, TC, are you guys going to train up Elsebeth in charm for a bit before marrying her off to Otto? From what I have read, a princess with low charm is bad for the general.

    No, I've specifically ordered him to marry her off to Otto ASAP. They really should have been married already, but Sigismund's death put things off a turn.

    Not my decision to make. The Kaiser (GH) has complete control over what happens to her and I'm just following orders. Playing Chancellor in KOTR is a lot less battle oriented than it was in WOTS. I think all 3 of our Chancellors so far have fought less than 1/4 of the battles that have occurred. Compare that to the first 3 WOTS Consuls, who probably fought in excess of 3/4.

    I've gotta say, I think the stories thread has added immensely to this game. There is so much excellent writing in there and so much background for the characters that it's taking this PBM to a whole new level. I thought that the WOTS was about as good as it would get, but it appears now that it was just a test run for KOTR. Excellent work, everyone. I'm enjoying this PBM more than I enjoy most games I pay for!

    I feel for you, OverKnight. But then again, political marriages weren't meant to be felicitous. As a consolation, you do become Duke of Bavaria.
