The tavern-keeper took down one coat of arms and hung another, remarking that nails are cheaper than taking sides.

Hour of Decision: England (Agent007ki) Needs 0 More Castles

With an overwhelming array of 10 strongholds under its sway, England (Agent007ki) requires a mere 0 keeps to attain the 9 keeps necessary for absolute victory.

Tithe Rolls Extended: Burgundy (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) Annexes Scotland

The tragedy of Cantons will long be remembered in the annals of dishonor: France (GraffTroll) fell upon the exposed flank of Burgundy (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) with cold calculating fury. While court scribes labor to invent legalistic justifications, the stain of broken vows cannot be washed away. 'No fortress is so strong that an ass laden with gold cannot enter,' quoted a foreign scholar from the classics. From tower to keep across Burgundy, watchmen kept ceaseless vigil, scanning the tree line for smoke.

It is whispered at the sheep-fair that England hath offered to mortgage a rich coastal manor to France to settle private dice debts.
