I wouldn't expect a collection of goat herders to understand Grand Strategy; in a campaign it is sometimes necessary to fight delaying actions or make diversionary attacks to tie up your enemy's reserves. I hope for the sake of what is jokingly referred to as the "Mongol Army", you spend your time re-arranging the one piece of furniture in your yurt and ...[text shortened]... mand of your forces to someone who has experience combatting something other than body lice.
'Kovalenko the Blind' is his name
siegecraft: 38
foot tactics: 20
mounted tactics: 19
naval tactics: 19
He's pretty good with the siege equipment. I guess castles don't move around too much, so his visual handicap isn't as big of a factor.

You're right though, we are in the wrong thread. They start to blur together after a while.

The King of Naples has spent the weekend meditating and feels ready to face a hostile Europe again.
In fact, the King of Naples may have over-indulged in meditation as His Highness feels rather poorly.

I own 11 provinces (for the moment anyway). Let's hypothesize a situation where my fleet did not turn tail and flee from a winning fight, and that I managed to attack something (like part of Norway or France or something) and win. Do I need to pay for Royalty status in NE in order to annex my 12th province?
