Nice writing. Snag a few screen-captures and toss just a couple html tags it would make a nice site link just as it is. Many people have been hoping for some good AAR's

To keep from angering a nation, watch the scoreboard. If you are getting too high in anything, figure it into your strategy. Dont push anything super high just because you can. too many provinces? Well I dont need that little one there so I will pass it by. Too much research? Well I will stop at 1-point short on a couple of categories until I need something there, switch my mages to making equip for awhile. Seiging a castle? Lets not invest alot of troops in taking it. Having the province for taxes or blood hunts is enough for now. Dont let the scoreboard paint you as everyones target until you are ready to be the target. (this line of strategy works for solo and mp play)

Well not getting too high is not yet a problem except for castles. I already got one from pangea, and I have my eyes on an other from Marignon. Do you think having 4 castles where the other nations have 2 will cause problems ?
I could delay the inevitable by razing and rebuilding them (a watchtower and a mausoleum, I prefer my fortress), but the one from pangea at least is very well placed, and I really want it...

Im not sure. Im still kindof testing it. Provinces seems a definate one. Army and Dominion maybe. Still trying to figure out what the AI looks at. Of course with humans in multiplay all of them are something to consider

Be careful with this unholy priest, he is able te reanimate undeads but unable to cast unholy spells (bug ?). So, no Protection/Power from the Sepulchre even after a Sabbath...
