Sir Richard of Westhampton, one of the
foremost knights of the Realm, comes to
you bearing counsel.
`Majesty, even I find your acts hard to
tolerate. You stand for everything that
a knight of chivalry despises: greed,
and arrogance. You take pride in your
tyranny. The noble families will
celebrate your death."
`Majesty, many nobles speak of open
rebellion against you. Your taxes burden
their estates as well as the peasants.
There are some even in my family that
question your rule. You must find
a way to satisfy them."
`Majesty, the nobles are heavily
dissatisfied. I fear that some will be
plotting against you. You must find a
way to placate them, or there will
be trouble."
`Majesty, the nobles are dissatisfied.
Their manner is less friendly to the
throne than it once was. They say you
do not listen to their counsels."
`Majesty, the nobles support thee, but
are not enthusiastic. They support
the throne because they fear that
others would do worse."
`Majesty, the noble families are
prosperous and content. Though some
love thee less than others, they all
respect you and your judgements."
`Majesty, the noble families of the
realm admire and respect thee.
Continue to show them respect and
restraint, and you need not fear."
`Majesty, you are well-loved by the
noble families."
`As for the Holy Church, the bishops do
not pray for your continued health, but
hope that God will soon send them a
new King who will deliver them from
darkness."
`As for the Holy Church, the bishops
spread lies and black rumours against
thee. Your conduct is greatly offensive
to them."
`As for the Holy Church, the Church has
little love for thee. They call you
arrogant and full of avarice, and say
you have little regard for Our Lord."
`As for the Holy Church, the bishops
complain that you do not listen to
them. Show respect for the Lord, and
their dismay will diminish, though
their tongues may not show it."
`As for the Holy Church, they have no
great love for thee, but they do not
hate you either. The Church is
demanding, but a useful ally. Do not
scorn it without necessity."
`The Church honors your faithfulness
and your piety, and though they may
have some quarrels with you, you hold
their respect."
`As for the Church, though it may
sometimes seem otherwise, the bishops
respect your judgements and appreciate
your piety."
`The Holy Church honors thee as their
champion, and the Pope does homage to
thee as a model for all the Princes
of Europe."
`As for the people, they sing songs that
tell of divine deliverance from the
tyrant of Albion. Demagogues stir revolt
in the cities. I fear there will soon be
a revolt against thee."
`As for the people, they hate you. They
curse your taxes and say that you are a
brutal tyrant who delights in
oppression."
`As for the people, their complaints are
many. You must work harder to placate
them, or there will be trouble."
`As for the people, they love thee not.
If you wish to regain their loyalty, you
must keep taxes low and avoid levies, or
give them some good news to raise their
spirits."
`As for the people, they complain about
their taxes and recall better days.
They do not say that you are a bad
king, but might, if things get worse."
`The people have no quarrel with thee,
and will drink a toast to thy good
health. They are concerned about the
tax, but that is never popular."
`The people consider you a strong and
wise ruler. You have eased their
troubles, and they are glad that you
are on the throne."
`The people love you dearly. They long
for the day when you will again walk
amongst them, so they might get a
glimpse of thee, or cheer thee in
their loudest voice."
`Rhos will be the easiest of all the
Celtic lands to conquer.
`To gather the most taxes from this
land, your castle must be 50 pieces
strong when completed.
`Building a larger castle will allow
you to support larger armies."
`Arfon should not prove to be a
difficult conquest."
`To gather the most taxes from this
land, your castle must be 60 pieces
strong when completed.
`Do not forget to build up adjacent
pieces if you receive a report that
they are Unstable."
`The marshes of Penllyn are not
well-loved by workers.
`To gather the most taxes from this
land, your castle must be 70 pieces
strong when completed.
`Remember to always build an inner
keep."
`The forest of Arwystli is far
from the quarrys.'
`To gather the most taxes from this
land, your castle must be 80 pieces
strong when completed.
`Remember, you must be near water
to be able to build a moat."
`You will find Aberffraw to be
much like Rhos, except that
resistance is much more fierce."
`To gather the most taxes from this
land, your castle must be 85 pieces
strong when completed.
`Remember, higher wages will
attract workers more quickly."
`You will find resistance to your
castle is quite fierce in
Gwerthyrnion.
`To gather the most taxes from this
land, your castle must be 90 pieces
strong when completed.
`Remember, skilled labourers will
resent your bad treatment of others
who patronize them."
`Most workers would rather build in
the midst of battle than in the
marshes of Dunoding.
`To gather the most taxes from this
land, your castle must be 95 pieces
strong when completed.
`Remember, the quarreys of Dunoding
are old. It will require a greater
effort to get the materials you
need."
`Welcome to Powys. Here, resistance
is at its most fierce.
"Good luck. You will need it."
