King of the Romans OOC thread XII

[econ21]

There will always be a Swabian general on the western front though. Scherer is doing most of the fightning atm,...

I know, Scherer has been doing sterling work. But he does now have Dietrich and Athalwolf nearby in Paris, Wolfgang in Rheims and Hans on the way from the Holy Land. I think the vulnerability, in terms of avatars, in the west is ending.

By contrast, when Gerhard Steffen dies, there will be only two Bavarians in Europe.

Swabia and Franconia have had the lion's share of avatars in the game - I would like to beef up Austria and Bavaria, if possible.

Partly, I am thinking ahead to the "cataclysmic event" we've discussed. We'll vote on this OOC in the next Diet, but if we do go for it, the Bavaria will become a key battleground again (our Italian cities are not so loyal).

Well, I do highly prefer fighting at the west side against France and such, and I don't really have much intrest in fighting the Italians. But if its a high percentage I wont be able to join the Swabians then I guess I have no choice but to join the south, but thats if its impossible for me to join the west.

Let's wait a couple of turns to see if an avatar turns up. If not, we'll hire a recruitable Swabian general for you. I am sure you can persuade the Chancellor, Overknight, to send you to the West to earn your spurs regardless.

Okay, Econ21 its all up to you. I'll join the south if I have to then.

Not yet. King Jan panicked because he thought there was the possibility that there might be a Muslim Duke of Franconia in the future. You have to understand, he's got the "grand crusader" trait, 9 piety, and is King of Outremer so he is pretty sensitive to this sort of thing, no matter how slim the possibility. Once Elberhard assured him that the Duke had to be German, Jan dropped the case with relief. This was totally an IC concocted event due to my character's traits.

Right now there are three daughters who will become Princess avatars if their dads are alive when they come of age. 2 for the Kaiser and 1 for the Prince. The eldest one from the Kaiser is technically heiress to the Franconian Ducal throne and will pass that title on to her husband whom a Kaiser will pick for her.

Ahh crap really??

It's pretty funny all this marriage stuff. The Dread Duke trying to get hitched is such a contrast, it makes me laugh.
