Heh, Aurvandil's got some pretty whacky diplomatic strategies.
Because obviously convincing D'Harans that setting up a colony in Paisly was in our own interests is going to work. Obviously.
Has anyone else noticed that the Paisly Duchy the Aurvandi set up is called the "Florentine City-State of Paisly"? What in the world? "Florentine" should have zero meaning in BM context....
