Someone could meet with an untimely death. I hear the Low Countries are dangerous this time of year.

Popping Don John would definitely help matters.  I'd give a card/event next turn (or this turn if a situation comes up, which I'll inform you about in the event of) if he dies immediately.
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.

Swapping an impulse now and a pretty good card for a possible even up down the line doesn't seem all that great a trade from here, but maybe you have Peotestant in the pool.

That's not how mandatory events work.

I was remembering Threat To Power from HiS, yeah.

Elizabeth hires more mercs and sends witches to put a spell on Philip II.

England bears no ill will to our Spanish cousin. :)

:thumbsdown:

Nobody seemed interested in stopping France from raking in VP, so I didn't feel like doing it alone and swapped to the usual English thing.

They've only gained 1 more vp point than you have.

Yeah, but France is poised to gain several VPs this turn.  Two from Valois marriages + whatever those marriages produce, 1 VP for control of Paris, potentially 2 if they circumnavigate with Testu, 0-3 from patronage (most likely 1 VP, but still).  Gonna be tight, but they could pull it off.
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.

Was a bit hard for me to make a move on France, what with Spain making room for the Ottos to jump down my throat. :P

Also, it could have been 3 Valois marriages but I demurred for vp related reasons. :goodboy:

France can get VP explosions about this time. Remember how I won with France on turn 3?

Still waiting on Berkut.

Played Navarre for 4 CPs, sent out le Clerc with a colony, and suppressed heresy in Scotland.

Alright, we agreed on this then?

Offer's yours to take or leave, but I still agree to it, yeah.
