Ugh. Now, unrelated female courtiers can be useful. If their stats are high, you can make them your ministers. You can marry them to male courtiers of your dynasty for passing on good genes. Or you can even wait for marriage offers to come from other courts and accept them for prestige. But with such horrid stats, the first two aren't going to happen, and probably not the latter either. This courtier will never be of any use whatso-




-ever




...




...




...

Okay, did we just have that good-for-nothing female courtier carted off to a 90+ prestige count, followed by the King of England taking a swim personally in our lake, followed by the wife of my arch-nemesis get pregnant again in her thirties?

I just don't know what to believe anymore.




Sure, she's 44 years old. But with the game acting its way recently who knows? We'll probably have the Emperor of Byzantium proposing by next Tuesday...




Sawmill's done.

Just what crazy things will happen in Aargau next? I have no idea what's happening anymore. Find out next time on the next exciting episode of Real Men Do It Alphabetically, an AARgau!

Please vote in the AARland Choice AwAARds. Only one week left.

How much prestige did you get for the surplus schemer? Also, if someone gets a claim on you, will you allow yourself to fight them so you can not force them to relinquish, so that you can get the prestige to claim Abauj? Looks like the only way right now

[Raczynski]

I can understand why he took a year to work up his courage.

To add insult to injury, her surname means: "Little Pig" :lol:

[Fiftypence]

Sawmill, woo! And the Count of Abauj must have something seriously wrong with him, if his constant impregnation of that Swinka woman is anything to go by.

[stnylan]

Either that or he must have something serious right with him

[General Guisan]

Still stuck in white socks Aargau?

Second row, first picture (only thing I found in english )

[Chief Ragusa]

Count of Abauj to wife; We'll keep doing this until you give me a son and heir.

[Lord E]

Crazy game, proposing to that woman… and then the wife is pregnant again, if this is yet another girl, then something has gone very strange in this game…

[Duke of Wellington]

At least the sawmill is normal.

[Ayeshteni]

At least the sawmill is normal.

you haven't seen the lumberjacks yet.

I hear 'they are ok'

aye.

[ComradeOm]

I feel cheated. Almost half of those captions consisted of "...". Where's the quality prose I expect from an author of this stature?

[GrimPagan]

you haven't seen the lumberjacks yet.

I hear 'they are ok'

aye.

They wear 'kilts'?

[Ayeshteni]

They wear 'kilts'?

..high heels, suspenders and a bra. probably wish they were girlies just like my de..um their dear papa.

looking at old Svinka I think the lumberjacks have infiltrated the nobility.

Aye.

[Chief Ragusa]

What wondrous building is next on Werner's building list? Let's be honest, he's never going to take over a single county, but he's going to have the richest, highest population county in the known world.

[JimboIX]

Apparently Aargau draws all the finest types..I wonder if Abauj will be so lucky.

[Jon Young]

What wondrous building is next on Werner's building list? Let's be honest, he's never going to take over a single county, but he's going to have the richest, highest population county in the known world.

Nah, he'll never get as far as V for Venezia

B for Byzantion is a bit closer... but might as well be on the moon!

[Murmurandus]

Ah, sawmills, one step further towards world domination...

Oh no, the King of Germany requested we mobilize! If we don't, he'll probably declare war on us because he's like that and stuff! Whatever shall we do?




I guess we have no choice.




But such an action will make us spend a fortune on army upkeep costs! We'll be in the poorhouse in no time




Wait, what's that, you say? You mean that I can set the slider to zero and actually suffer no ill effects whatsoever, as it's not my war that I'm fighting anyway? Oh, okay then.




Meanwhile, Almos's Daughter Count reaches 8.




He also has a Thieves' Guild, which is good if we want to assassinate people in his court! Of course, with all them daughters and not a son in sight, I don't think that will end up even being necessary...




Score!

You've got to remember, Werner's wife is nearing her sixties now... Then again, so is Werner...




What? The game lied! His name is supposed to be Yakut! Yakut!

Though I guess the game could have become frustrated by the umlaut in Ruedger or whatever.




Raising the regiment and just having them sitting around doing nothing... What a waste of taxpayer money! Except instead of taxpayers it's me, and instead of money it's nothing because I exploited the game mechanics...




Look, he's not even fighting anyone! What a waste of the taxpayers' nothing!

How long will Werner von Habsburg's regiment stay mobilized, not doing anything but sitting on their hands? Just why did the King mobilize them in the first place without a war to fight? Just what will the King of Germany waste the taxpayers' nothing on next? What will become of the bastard son Ruedger? Will he grow up to be a right bastard? Find out next time on the next exciting episode of Real Men Do It Alphabetically, an AARgau!

[Duke of Wellington]

Strange actions by the king. The game cheated out of a boy named Yakut but its probably just karma for your exploiting of its mechanics.
