Re: War Reparations in Medieval Times

More ransoms and territorial concessions than war reparations as we'd understand them.

See the Peace of Thorn of 1411.

That's more or less what I'd expect to see from that time as I understand it. Thanks for sharing, I'd not read about this particular conflict before.

Everything Scarlett said

That is an excellent point. The idea of someone trying to absolutely obliterate a medieval kingdom seems like it would be near impossible to do unless it was so small that something close to genocide could wipe it out. More culture in Battlemaster would be interesting, but most of it derives from the realm's identity so spreading it doesn't seem to quite work. Religion as culture does spread across borders, though.

On a lighter note, the treaties from Galiard tend to seem very flowery with articulate promises of everlasting peace and friendship (particularly that last one with Kindara). I enjoy them, so I'm glad to see there is some factual base to how they are written.
