What is a Ute?
Sports team of the University of Utah. Dunno what they were doing in Aargau, though.
 
Well, better to loose thy wife that thy kingdom.
 
Back to Norway you go. Or is it Sweden? Who cares, may the letters guide you.
 
Real Men Don't Need Ute's, They Have SUV's... :D
 
Wonderful work, Real Men captures yet another province :) Forward to the next alphabetical province…

And a look at the monetary situation!

I've never in a game ever needed the measily +.5% to loyalty saving on scutage gives you. Does it really make their armies noticably bigger?

j.
 
Yes. Very noticeably.
 
phargle said:
I moved scutage around during my most recent game, but I played it a few months ago so I can't remember what it did.

Moved scutage. Scutaged. I scutaged around.

Adjusted your shield tax. Use the common term for scutage - it's easier that way. ;)

Go Tell The Allepoans.

Chapter 12: Akershus

As told with many pictures. And a moderate amount of words.

This is the County of Akershus. It used to be the capital of the Kingdom of Norway.


ScreenSave54.jpg


I assume the King gave it to his son for some reason. I don't care what the reason, as it is a good thing, for a one-province county means that it will be annexed the minute it is occupied!


ScreenSave59.jpg


Anyways, this is Heinrich d'Ardennes, King of Germany. His excommunication does not bode well for the future integrity of the German state.


ScreenSave60.jpg


But who cares about something so boring? Extra tolls were collected at the harbor, which equivalates to about half a month of income! Hooray!


ScreenSave63.jpg


And remember those Aleppoaandas that we took more than a thousand ducats from? Well since we were at war with them the Germans were at war with them, and how! But the brave Aleppoans faced the odds


ScreenSave65.jpg


And amazingly defeated two armies that were much larger than theirs!


ScreenSave71.jpg


Nothing like watching the Aleppoans finally succumb to the weight of massively superior numbers to fire up the old drive!


ScreenSave72.jpg


And Aleppo falls to the Duchy of Meissen. I've always hated those guys.


ScreenSave73.jpg


And I've always hated the fact that my court hasn't yet been flooded with literally dozens of Celtic refugees that take the court positions that should have gone to proud Germans! Well good thing then!


ScreenSave75.jpg


Of course I could have used a 17-stewardship refugee much more than a 17-intrigue one. It's not like I can kill my way to getting Akershus. Well I can but that's killing the soldiers of both the enemy and myself, and that doesn't count!



THOSE CELTS ARE TAKING OUR JOBS! The Bretagne have both the Chancelloress and the Duchess spot, a Scotswoman is the Spy Mistress, a Welshman is the Diocese Bishop, and his son who is also Welsh will soon be the Marshal. And the rest of my court is filled with Irish, some of whom have children that die of illnesses and none of whom are useful at all. The answer will be revealed in the next exciting episode of Real Men Do It Alphabetically, an AARgau!

I laugh just knowing you have to conquer Akershus. Those thousand ducats you got are going to go bye-bye.

Real Men Don't Care... :D

Yeah! They don't even spell it Meissen - it's like MeiBen or M31EeN or something equally Germanic and designed to make life easy on the engineers but not the consumers!

Er, Stronganon, it looks like you mispelt jorbs there.

And the rest of my court is filled with Irish, some of whom have children that die of illnesses and none of whom are useful at all.

They're taking our beer! :mad:

Here's hoping Stefan has a son who does not need the early attention of stairs. I think there's a very good reason that the Celts are taking all the plum jobs with the Duke of Abydos. They all want to work for A Real Man. You are in need of a good steward. One of those Muslim Aleppoans is sure to turn up with the requisite skill level.
