I tend to agree with Ramses' assessment as well. From what I've seen of this game, Rajput armies are currently the best ones out there and the only ones I'd fear from the start.

But I believe I might have something to thwart them. Well... maybe. Last time I tried that trick it didn't work out too well.

Also: are we getting a new diplo thread? story thread? OOC thread? I don't believe this "part II" will be so short. It could be made into its own, "unique" game, if you will.
