A missive to Emperor Maximillian II from Suleiman I, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire posted:I have just received word of your recent arrangements with Don Carlos, and the news filled my heart with grief. Are your Christian nations so desperate to wed your daughters away that you would unleash even a Spaniard in their bedchambers? My own Rayize and Mihrimah were matched to supporters within my own court, to great joy and great prosperity. Ottoman Tribute, declaring war on the HRE and gaining 2CP. Spain, then HRE may offer tribute--my choice of a random card or random treasure. If I accept (which I gladly will), I call off the war declaration and draw a card from the draw deck.

A regrettable decision. We could have had peace. I do not anticipate the Spaniard will return you to your senses. 1CP - Mehmed will lead a force of eight infantry and one cavalry to Angram. HRE, do you wish to attempt an intercept? gutterdaughter fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Nov 24, 2014 |

Sorry, Charlie, but you're kind of on the opposite side of our enemy right now. It wouldn't work. England plays The Virgin Queen for the lower event, breaking off the engagement between Elizabeth I and Charles II of Austria!

Okay, maybe I'm missing something because I haven't spent much time with the marriage rules (useless as they are to Suleiman), but I can't for the life of me figure out why you'd want to marry Elizabeth I. I mean, I get that the groom gets free mercenaries as a consolation prize. But what does England getting out of the arrangement that's worth throwing away an impulse and a 5CP card? Is it purely a bargaining chip, or is England getting some kind of reward that I'm oblivious to?

Gutter Owl posted:Okay, maybe I'm missing something because I haven't spent much time with the marriage rules (useless as they are to Suleiman), but I can't for the life of me figure out why you'd want to marry Elizabeth I. England also gets a card draw out of playing the event, so at worst, playing Virgin Queen to jilt comes out as a wash for England, depending on what they get out of negotiations. Once a male English Royal comes out, England can also self-jilt, though it's probably not worth it unless you're feeling lucky.

Goodness, you guys are quick. If everyone's alright with it, I can update every 12 hours instead of every 24. I originally went with 24 hours to give everyone enough time to react to things, but it looks like you guys are on top of it.
