Assuming your Leadership is so pathetic that the only thing they can think of to counter TMP is hunt monsters in their own borders.
I still don';t understand why a "good' leadership should be one needlessly aggressive and eager to conquer. The game sets some limits, be it noble count or simply extension of the land: there are just moments in which it would be suicidal to start wars, so why would be consider pathetic a leadership that just tries not to create chaos out of nowhere?
Frankly on dwilight almost all realms are facing tmp last time I heard. This must mean something..
