Madina voluntarily stepped up and stood in line with these two, so don't be surprised when you're identified right along with them.

Don't you worry, i don't. :P

Madina is bound to be minsunderstood.

You obviously didn't see Prime Minister Florence's declaration of war, the one she announced in the Ruler's channel. It was definitely not aimed at a particular realm so much as it was at all of SA. It was *militant*. The prevailing impression in SA is that Madina is as rabidly anti-SA as Averoth was, if not even more so due to the fact that their history of antagonism toward SA goes even further back in time.

Geuss where Florence is now?
Madina is a banded bunch of individualists, they all have a different opinion on these things.
Some believe Florence always acted in full cooperation with the Libero rebels that rule(ed) over Candiels, who are militantly anti SA in fact.
Or better to say militantly against everything.
I bet if you pour there guts al over the streets they still won't surrender, even if you'd feed them.

From the outside we don't see that lack of cohesion. All anyone in SA is going to remember for years to come is Prime Minister Florence's screed (which I obligingly shared with the Church at large) and the assassination attempt from years back on Allison Kabrinski. I would assume though that Madina has little interest in what SA thinks of it.

Be careful about Aurvandil. They sound a lot like the Averothians and Saxons. If they have contacts or allies among those groups, you may wake up tomorrow to discover that they suddenly have 40 nobles and seemingly limitless supplies of gold  ;)

I'd say that in Madina's anarchistic system, if the ruler could make such a speech without anyone hearing counter-voices from within, it made it sound as if the feeling was unanimous in the realm.

That's how I saw it, at least. A strong ruler can impose a minority will on the majority. You wouldn't assume a weak ruler to be able to push a minority position so strongly without hearing anything about the dissidents.

Madina can be total anarchy, in the future we hopefully have 3 powerful dukes, the Grand Doge and the Lord Admiral all screeming and yelling against each other. That in combination with druken sailors in every port, landed lords only looking for own profit it's the perfect mix of backstabbing, sceeming, plotting and anarchy. Just like Madina should be  ;D

I totally wouldn't count on it, though, unless by future you mean 10 years following a miracle that reversed the decline of the player base.

You think we are going to let a small thing like ousting the Queen and losing half our realm get in the way of our private feuds and plots? We are nobles good sir, we have a natural talent at ignoring anything that doesn't fit into our plans.

Well, I guess that the current geographical location does not provide you with other things to occupy the mind.  ??? Enough time for your feuds and plots.

Was Templars (19) supposed to deploy in the front? I can see how his sacrifice worked out great.
