I am here too. Just curious about Welsh chances against the evil Britons!
I agree with TheWolfe, there are many people (like me) who read but rarely post a comment. Which does not mean that we do not like what we are reading.
Just an advise: sometimes a screenshot of the game or a picture help to create more immersion. My personal taste is for few posts and only when relevant facts occur (i.e. no posts for "A comet sighted!"), but it's really my personal opinion.
Thanks, guys! I promise, this will be an update! And just so you know, Hastu Neon, since I own a Mac, it's hard to post pictures. Any ideas, anyone?
But on to the update.
From Regency to Possibilities:1 June, 1415-9 February 1432
Gruffydd had died with his son, Owain, too young to rule. So a council of nobles led by the Earl of Cardiff guided the Prince of Wales. It would not be the first time. They basically furthered Wales' policies of trade expansion and centralization. The nobles reasoned that for such a small country, there was not much to decentralize.
Wales' scientists were soon among the best in Europe, equal only to Holland and Ulm in technological superiority. The Earl bragged that his men could research more in a month than the English in a year. Speaking of the English, they were still embroiled in a great war with France. The French coveted the English lands, and the evil frogs would do anything to get it. Fortuneatly the courageous English-no never mind that-the courageous Welsh-Duh-were able to fight back and made France release several vassals, including Alencon, eventually to be Wales' greatest ally(still an OPM though) on the battlefield of Poitou.
Owain eventually ascended to the throne, but was soon faced with a crisis. The arrogant English were threatening war once more. The same enemy. Was Owain to honor the English alliance or decline, but lose prestige? He chose the former(may have mixed it up a bit) and fought against the enemy, which now included Savoy as well. His reign was a fruitful one, bearing many fruits, such as a wonderful baby boy, Llewelyn. But it was all too soon. In the midst of putting down a rebel uprising after increased attempts at expanding the federal government, a rebel shot him in the neck. He fell from his horse, his last words being "Protect Llewelyn."
The nobles heeded his advice, and set up a new council, with the Earl as it's head once more. Historians think that it was the Earl's influence that enabled Llewelyn to become who he would be. And as the regency council ended on the 9th of February, the Earl of Cardiff breathed his last. Llewelyn was ready. But was Wales?
