I for one hope the Welsh get what's coming to them, the brutes.

Guillaume polishes off a second glass of wine and speaks

I wonder what the Welsh King is playing at? He seems to have offered a gift to the English. By exterminating an English town and acting aggressively, he puts himself squarely in the role of the "badguy". England can fight them secure in their moral superority and not worry about oposition from the other Kings of the Isles. Then again, perhaps by making the English the goodguys, and giving them a reputation to uphold, he hopes to prevent similiar treatment of Welsh cities during the war, and to attain a better peace settlement than if the English were unconstrained by a reputation.

Dietrch gives Guillaume a fishy look

Perhaps, or maybe something more devious.

Niccolo goes over the latest dispatches.

Ah, I failed to understand that England and Scotland have entered into a marriage alliance. This is true, correct?

This changes many things.

OOC: This is a bug from CA. They state in the campaign startup screen for both Scotland and England that Alexander is married to Henry's daughter Margaret. But, Alexander is all alone in the family tree. Even his heir is not on the tree. And his heir's kids that come later will not be on the tree. ~~And playing as England, I have tried to take their other princess and marry Alexander but he does not show up as a unmarried general.~~

So, I decided to go with CA's story and pretend that Alexander is married. Zim has happily played along. Alexander did just get married in the game to some random noble daughter but I'm ignoring that and just claiming Alexander's wife is Margaret.

As for an alliance, Scotland and England just start off neutral. So, no "marriage alliance" as a game mechanic. But we're RP'ing it that way.

OOC: In your test game, did you try to marry the English princess to Alexander as an unmarried general? You marry princesses to faction leaders in the diplomacy screen, just like faction hiers.

OOC:

Doh!

Well, the fact that he is alone on the family tree when CA went through the trouble of writing stories about him being married is still a bug. Plus his 45 year old "heir" is not on the tree at all and neither is the family that heir will eventually get.

Why can't CA just playtest their games!
