I go with 'Just', the arbitrary trait that comes with the other option effects my stewardship and i fancy a seat on someones council one day

Friedrich Junior needs schooling - he's already leaning toward diplomacy so we hand him over to Aines

Top right - my first Spymaster dies in the Egyptian dungeon

Bottom right - its still not looking good for the HRE, every red score is a minus war score for him

On the map - I considered taking Mecklenburg to the East of Lubeck, theyre Pagans, i need no Casus Belli to fight them, but i just saw them march East in some private war with an amassed army of 3500 troops, ten times my army size - new plan required

My sister - shes next in line if Junior gets it...................

......however, shes in my court and is based in the province - me and the boys pop round with a few bats

Just reread some of the earlier posts, and noticed you were going to work on collecting Lubeck.
This could be either good or bad for your holdings.
Lubeck was the seat of the Hanseatic League.  A lusty, tempestuous group of traders who tried to dominate th Baltic Sea.
They were the gnomes of Zurich of their day with tons of gold squirreled away.
However, they were free traders in every sense, and would not easily be brought under control.
Not sure if the game represents them, or how they would play out.  However, if you could tax them, you could become a rather wealthy man overnight.  (Assuming they are willing to pay the tax.)
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Is sending a spy to steal technology a new ability that comes with Sword of Islam?  I've not seen the option in my games.  I can see uncover plots, build spy network, or research sneaky stuff.

undercovergeek

Its research sneaky stuff sorry sdr.... I should have been more clear, in my other game at least 4 times a year he just sends me plans for advancements I'm nowhere near achieving saying alexandria is much more advanced than we are.... I hope to replicate this
