SirruShan - I guess it doesn't matter that much.
Chief Ragusa - You can't send a spy to decrease revolts. Its pretty much random whether the spy succeeds or not. You can shift Serfdom - Free subjects slider around a bit to change spy defence value but I don't know how much difference it makes.
KanaX - Well put.
Fulcrumvale - Oh we don't care but it seems the rest of the world does.
Grundius - Their spies are quite irritating. Not really doing any harm only ever revolt or desertion which hasn't actually done anything. I only sent one back since I had nothing else to spend the money on. I do like the claim action though when I have the money to do so.
Hasforth9 - Drowned in salted wool? Not at all pleasant so quite fitting I think.
J. Passepartout - Yeah thats it maybe that - doesn't mean minus it means extra special.
billy bob - Bah, you shut up.
Cohort - I hope not, otherwise I don't know who I've been playing as.
Sawedoff - The name comes from the founder of the dynasty, Shayban.
Karasuman - I thought it the best decision too.
Olaus Petrus - Ikram is rather popular. Without him we'd be up to our necks in poop.
Murmurandus - I hope you're right.
Storey - I'm pretty sure prestige is a big factor but I don't really have the hang of prestige yet (as I'm sure you can tell

)
merrick - I really don't know how it got so low. I'm only jsut getting used to prestige. Like just yesterday I found out the ai rejecting a RM offer lowers your prestige. If the same applies to other rejected offers like peace offers then that might explain it since I sent a lot to Kazan.
EvilSanta - It sure is.
