This whole thing smells a lot like when Bryggan did basically the same thing last strat to Acre, but it had a severely-lackluster ending of James bending over and Bryggan just re-accepting Acre as his vassals, without anything actually happening as a result. No civil war, no shitposts, nothing. I'll remain optimistic that this one will end in a more satisfactory manner.
Reminds me of when I just walked right past his fief yesterday. I noticed that he entered it unarmed, bought some gear and then came charging out at me, only to turn around as soon as he noticed he was both outmanned and outgunned. And here I almost anticipated an Acre attack. Can you believe it, Acre, attacking a non-AI pary? Bahahaa... sounds crazy, right? I almost turned around to circumnavigate them so that I wouldn't be tied up for 24 hours, then I remembered who I was dealing with.
Nope, I could attack you, becouse There was reinforcements underway, but I decided not to attack, for that, I can proof why.
Btw, I did not need to buy gear, I have everything stockpilled in 2 mine village, I was just keeping an eye on you, or you didn't noticed that I was walking next to your army to see what you where gonna do.
For the rest, Hesky, I was planning to attack a fief of your's but with this crap goiing on, I hope you are chivalry enough to let me pass. I do not know if I will get anny merc support, especially when there are crybaby's in Goblins that didn't wanted that Acre joins them.
