Quote from: szmik on June 29, 2012, 05:16:00 PMFAQ actually confirms that my example is perfectly viable.

Okay, what am I missing?

QuoteIf the check was triggered by Eloquent Ambassador or Mary Queen of Scots, the activation is resolved just as it would be for any other minor power. Step 4 can be divided into these cases and summarized as follows:
 Power that won status check was already Scotland's ally:
o No changes at all take place.

Anyhoo, I'll be away for most of the day. In case Katmai decides to post a move and it does not affect me in any spectacular way, I will use my other home card to build two galleys in Corona (sp?) and two regulars in Buda.

On English control of Edinburgh, Scottish Lords Rebel and other minor power diplo checks, I refer you to this thread on BGG:

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/803902/scottish-lords-rebel

QuoteHowever we'll have to be careful to distinguish this from playing Eloquent Ambassador to trigger a diplomatic status check here. In that case the minor power rules are applied without any exceptions, so if England had conquered Edinburgh from Scotland -- and France wins the check again -- then England holds on to Edinburgh since no activation or deactivation procedure is triggered.

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

Off to Sol.

Patronization is random.  You need to roll to see which one you're getting.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Right, today I'll be gone for most of the day as well, to actually play a live game of Virgin Queen. It seems unlikely that play will come around to me a second time though.

Oh gotcha. I guess I'll fix when I get home?

Can't convert Calais as there is a Catholic unit there (the galleon) and no 6 was rolled.

Not sure why you think the third conversion is wasted. You can convert Rouen, Boulogne, Chartes, Grenoble, Poitiers and Nantes...

Think of Protestant conversions as infection (I know I do).

Do you have a host space?  Do you have a place to spread (even across a sea zone)?  Are there conversion-antibodies (Catholic troops) present?  If the first two are true and the third is negative, minor conversions can hit it.  If the third is true, you need a major conversion (a 6).  It's that simple.

Also, your file didn't include Brueghel's patronization, but that can be fixed.

Del posted his move; it's off to Szmik now.
