to beware your kingdom from decline and archive great power in Europe. But
be warned! If you grow to big, the other kingdoms will be afraid of you and
begin war together, until you are eliminatet or small enough. You also can
make allies with the other kingdoms and if they accept them, they won`t be
at war with you until they think they could win it or you are too powerful.
You also can invest your money in economy to produce better weapons and
armory.
