Just one request: try to do as many comparisons as possible to the history that your character is used to (he'd be thinking of that anyway), it makes for interesting reading. Good job!
listen, i know of the sillyness that some will go with to show their "grey eminence". C'mon, some strnage looking Ethiopians living for 300 years? And then getting sent back to the lands of the Haudenosaunee? And soon getting sent to the Teutons(yes, I am doing a third installment, but possibly when EU2 comes out) And then using a mystical, magical "Stuff"? Nothing but hooey. But it serves a purpose. The game is more important than setting up how the grey eminence survives. And since you seem to be taking the "family" approach, it should be ok.

Good luck, and make certain that the dang-ed French don't tkae Calais away from you

I'll try to write a chapter tommorow, but then again, I might not be able to so don't get your hopes up. Guess what Sharur, you stole my idea, I was planning on writing about some of the strange things that have changed, and things that are wierd to me.

chapter 3,

The scottish ambassador was doing a good job of hiding his pain. We have probably have killed thousands of his country men, and now we are going to take control of his country. This is horrible, as it seems that the king is starting to get gready. I think that we can only look at our future and see more war. Funny, though I am from the furute, and all I rember is peace. In fact there are lot of things from the past that I just can't stand.

"I don't think that I can accept these terms." The Scotish man said, breaking my train of thoughts. I could tell that he was under a lot of stress.

"Why can't you accept the terms of annexation." This is odd, I never expected him to not accapt those terms, they have no room to bargain.

"I, I... I can't, accoring to this, the Scotish men are going to have to pay huge sums of money in taxes."

"Yes but only for thirty years before we gradually get rid of those taxes."

"But I can't." Then i noticed that the king had come in. And he looked very angry. I tried to warn the ambassador, but I couldn't. before I could, the king struck him against the head with a iron sword. I thought that he had died, but then as I thought about it, he was hit with the broad side the sword. But before he could get up off the ground, he was killed. The king thrust the sword into his chest into his heart, killing him. (game terms, I had a temporary insanity event.)

"Take that, no longer will you be after my wife, you bastard" Well at first I believed him, but then the king just began shouting even more insane things, so we all thought that he was insane and everyone decided to let me be king until his son could reign.

That was the day that I made a decision. The king's from now on will never become true kings. I will put puppet kings on the throne, but I will take control of this kingdom. I can't tolerate these barbarians killing each other. So that is my goal, I will bring some humanity to this contry, and to the world.

Bravo! It all makes sense now

Nice job of explaining how you will be the grey eminence behind the scenes. And like how you handled the "insane monarch event". Nice job Brad1. I await the next update with great anticipation

Hmm, this could be interesting. Will England now become a peacemaker, striving at all times to end wars, colonize peacefully (i.e. never kill natives), that kind of thing? That would certainly be a different approach to an aar.

Well, whatever you do, I'm looking forward to it.

Sorry for the long delay.

Chapter 4,

"So you will accept my terms of peace." I am getting tired of these things. I hope that it will work.

"Yes." The Scottish ambassador seemed very tired. It probably was a long time since he had seen his children and his family. But I know how he feels. I have never seen my family for about 12 years. And I hope that I can live long enough to see them.

I have also formed a plan to help in bringing order to this world. I am going to start a constitution like thing. And I am going to conquer the world. I know that it might seem like I am just wanting a lot of power, but I think that I will not be the one to have it when I am done. I will try to write up a government much like the U.S. that I used to come from.


"Well, I must leave now, I need to go to my family." The Scotish ambassador opened the door when another man came rushing in.

"Sir. Sir!" The man acted like a panicky idiot.

"What. I am busy."

"But the French declared war against us." This made my heart skip a beat.

"Wha... What is our military situation?"

"Well, I think that we have the 25k army that we were going to build to invade Spanish lowlands."

"Send them to the French capitol. What armies do the French have in the area?"

"They have no armies, most of them were devastated in a war against the Spanish." God help us.
