BTW, thanks for the response and the info...And what you said above makes
sense, as one of the greatest weapons in war is deception, and I suppose
the inaccurate information that your patrols can gain demonstrates
this, and that is fine by me, as it will also work in my favor when
I'm being invaded! (I hope anyway..*grin*)
.

:     Well, I'll throw a couple of tips your way.  I'd enjoy hearing how
: your game goes though, and what kingdom you end up with after such a pot
: luck request.

I'll definitely let you know how things go, as I'll probably be screaming
for a bail out sometime or another...heheheh...Pot luck, eh? I take it some
Kingdoms aren't too popular...that's a shame...I like trying the
challenges of any and all positions...I guess I'm not only there to try
and win the game, but also some self-gratification in working with a
"weak" or "maladied" Kingdom...Heh, in my opinion, RSI should get rid of
Kingdom preferences, it would probably get games off the ground faster,
although on the flipside people would drop more often when they ended up
with an unwanted Kingdom...Oh well, I'm flexible...

: EXCEPTION: your adjutant and chancellor are immediately replaced with a
: brand new character when they die.  Spy them on the first turn, and if you
: have anything less than a superior stat in something you need, send them
: adventuring to die.

Very sound advice, thanks...I agree...Tell me, does every Kingdom start
with the same characters and strengths each game? ie, do current and former
Players know what my starting characters will be?

:     In the non-unified lands, I think it is worth picking them up, early
: even, but be careful not to overlook the real threat in the game: PKs.
: Make sure that you are ready for them, have them peaced, or spied
: appropriately before you rush to take the non unified lands and other
: npks.  You can't conquer Pathenia, Barachan Isles, the Mysterious South,
: or the Land of No Return though, and they get very tough, so watch out
: there.
:     Well, I've been doing some pretty serious rambling, but I'll finish
: with one thought.  Try and cultivate a few good allies each game.  Even if
: they are in far off areas, it is useful to know what is going on in the
: rest of the world, because kingdoms "over there" can most certainly be in
: your area in short order.  Best to align yourself with some extra power
: wherever you are.  If you need any more help, let me know.

Thanks again, for all the info...It helps...Not sure exactly what i'm
getting into with HW, but I like the concept, and preparedness and
knowledge are always good weapons to have on your side...
