What has happened to Ganet's journal? Another intervention by the Order of Coptic Goat Herders may be in order, but does their reach extend as far as Armenia?
...Hold on, you /may/ want to get a divorce and assassinate your current heir, given that you're in a regular marriage.
I'm rather surprised at the level of ability this duchess seems to be displaying, not to mention the sheer awesome of having nothing horribly catastrophic happen...
Or maybe it's because she's residing in Armenia.
Oh, shi-Do you realize you have just doomed Armenia and its duchess?
Simple imprisonment -> execution should do the trick, once his erstwhile co-conspirators are gone...How will you be able to kill Artemios if he is the spymaster and has a so high intrigue? Also, if you kill all the monophysites, then it is almost impossible that the Zagew return to the old One-Natured-God credo. Sad.

Well, I must say this is a surprising twist in this saga!
Just guessing, but this could easily be Duchess Dio in the future
I don't think she's quite at the maniacal axe-murderer level yet.
OMG that is gold :rofl: Philo's AAR out-Googles National Geographic on that (their first hit is a half page down).Oh and you should google - never surprise the baboons - last I checked it was the second hit. I try to make a point of quoting that whenever and wherever appropriate.
oooh. murder, rebellions, and the baboons arent even involved(well, as far as we know).
about the saving if duchies, you DO realise that things NEVER EVER go as planned? instead, help achaia! your "help" will utterly ruin them. also, wrath of the zagwe's? are you going to sacrifice them to the baboons?
Dionysia Zagwe is the best thing that has ever happened to her dynasty. She didn't get into the Byzantine family of course; that was generations ago. But she is handling things masterfully.
Byzantine society, I mean.
I liked the Baboonologic of the Duchess... :ja: Always useful when plotting cunningly...
I just clicked through 38 pages and lived the entire history. You are a master storyteller, mate and your powers of imagination and humor are pure gold. I can't wait to see the medieval age Uma Thurman claim revenge. *bows to you*
The Dutchess is my favorite Zagwe!

He already changed his inheritance laws to elective, so there shouldn't be any worries about that.
Wasn't that only for Sennar, not for Armenia?
Nope, it's the Ducal law alright.

Oh, shi-
WECOME TO BYZANTIUM TODAY!
1. we still didnt found sennar on the maps.
2. the empress keeps having rebellious vassels and hate the duchess of armenia
3. thousands flee from egypt, jeruzalem and armenia as the baboons initiated their once ina century migration to armenia
Simple imprisonment -> execution should do the trick, once his erstwhile co-conspirators are gone...
And if one wants to follow the murderous way, one just have to replace the unwanted spymaster with a new, loyal one before setting up a murder plan for the old spymaster. Quite simple.
I loved the part about getting the former conspirators to turn on one another.

Philo, Great job! One of the most engaging AARs I've ever read.
Rockpapershotgun brought me here. There was a link to this forum from a review of the game and once I saw your thread title I had to give it a look. Barely made it past page fifteen before I bought the game and have enjoyed every moment; as well as your fantastic narrative.
As a Total War fan, it was a breath of fresh air to find a game set in this period that dealt with politics and intrigue instead of pure military might.
Oh and you should google - never surprise the baboons - last I checked it was the second hit. I try to make a point of quoting that whenever and wherever appropriate.
Yeah, she needs a lover she could go axe crazy for. Her patrilineal husband and his spawns don't count.
OMG that is gold :rofl: Philo's AAR out-Googles National Geographic on that (their first hit is a half page down).
I vote as fans of this amazing AAR we show our fidelity to the lost knucklebone by including that quote in our sigs...
