No Flemish Pikemen, TinCow? Bah, how decadent has Flanders become.

Is there any way to get Wolfgang married? I want him to create a Hummel dynasty, but the chances of him getting a wife are almost zero.

yeah and i wanna continue the kastiliens! i wanna son! siegfried is carrying us on at least with his daughters but i want a son to boss around.

[FactionHeir]

Psht, and I want to further Heinrich's legacy shouldn't just all depend on Elberhard alone eh?

I think this does highlight that a lot of us need a wife. Possibly IRL too

Nah, they all went to Dijon when it rebelled. At least, I think so.

@FH: Well, there have been some marriages recently, just not into important families. Incidentally, Dietrich looks forward to producing five or six little von Dassels in the coming years.

So If I smash Lorenz into enemies and win I get a higher percent of being adopted or is it random that I will get adopted. And also pleasssee adoppptt mmeeee.

I tried to specifically point out that Bruges loved you and would be receptive to aiding you again in the future. There are various things that you could try within the borders of the provinces that could result in Flemish Pikemen recruits.

I have tried to show people that they will receive rewards both for being 'good' (treating people nicely and being honorable - see Wolfgang and Fredericus Erlach this turn) and being 'evil' (exploiting people and being a general jerk - see Fritz pretty much all the time). I am trying to keep good and evil rewards natural and in context without biasing one over the other.

One of my personal pet peeves with RPGs is their tendency to give more of a reward for being good than being evil. I think it should actually be the other way around. The reward for being good should simply be knowing that you have helped someone. People shouldn't be handing out powerful magic items that have been family heirlooms for generations for a simple FedEx quest (which they seem to do all the time). The evil method should be the only way to obtain a lot of this highly valuable loot. I'm trying to keep it more balanced than that in KOTR, but still make both avenues of RPing a viable and profitable method.

GH: Dijon is full os Swiss Pikemen, hence Warluster's wise decision not to assault. Can you imagine fighting those guys in narrow streets?

TC: That's ok, I'm sure Wolfgang will have plenty of time to revist the richest province in nortern Europe.

GH and TC, I have some IC PM's to send to you.

Apologies for the poor system, feel free to upload to better systems if you know of them. I will switch the link to the Org Uploader as soon as it is fixed.

I did all that.

The dialog box for downloading came up, and then another telling me that the file wasn't found.

No worries, I'll try again after work and see if it's human error. I hope the uploader won't be on the fritz that long though.

Matthias, why are you dragging me into this?

You could all see that coming a mile off, I know, just had to say it. And...

im only 16, but thats the first step!

congrats! ah to be young again...

Speaking of avatar marriages, Jan and Alfgarda are working hard to produce the next generation of stuck-up, self-righteous, uptight, crusaders.

On that note, Jan just got a son.
