Road Income Formula: Just in case it wasn't published before. The Road Income formula is: (Road Count - 1)2 /3.

Warship Cargo Capacity! The Cargo capacity of Warships is 1/2. Not 1!!!

Cultivated Regions: All cultivated regions can be colonized to 2 Gpv. If you can somehow get a region intensely cultivated, you can then colonize it to 3 Gpv.

Diplomacy Results: (ne)=no effect.

Player Letters: Because of all the eMail players, I can no longer effectively send inter-player messages.

Religion Action - Convert Pagan Chief (cpc): You can convert a neutral heathen region to your religion instead of having to resort to all those MW's. If your world religion (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hindu) can convert a pagan chief, the region will automatically follow.

Church & Mercantile NFP less: I have drastically reduced the amount of NFP a Religious Primate can get from his cathedrals. The same goes for Mercantile Combines.

THE HOLY KINGDOM OF BHEATHAAMROIS
Magna Mater Etain Rapturous, Sister of Mary, Protector of the Innocent, Blessed of the Divine Light of Christ, Beloved of God in All His Glory
CONSECRATION:
The Holy Mother came out of the Cloister and sang these words to the congregation at Cianodh:
"For many years the Holy Church of Bheathaamorois has watched in pain and sorrow as the Leaders of the False Church of Aachen have sunk further into Ungodly depredation and moral decay. Long did Strathclyde and her fellow nations to the North await some word or action by the Popes of Aachen, but no such comfort was ever forthcoming. Indeed, we watched with horror and, finally, outrage as one after another the False Popes acted directly against the Word of Our Lord Jesus Christ and in direct defiance of the Holy Order did aid and abet those Pagans and Heathens who refuse to accept the Blessing and Redemption of God, even when such actions caused the Ruin and Downfall of Christian People. In despair of our souls we did therefore declare a New Primacy, in the hopes of regaining Salvation for our people, and bringing the Lost Children of Europe back into the fold.
"And there was success...but not enough. For instead of turning their backs on the deluded Fathers of Aachen, many were tempted to remain in the sphere of this depraved influence. And they were not persuaded by Spirituality, nor by Fear of Divine Retribution, but by the gross lure of the Worldly and the Material. Land stolen from innocent peoples was gifted unto them, the spoils of unsanctified war, and gold was showered upon them, blinding them
to the One True Light. Thus were the lands sundered by the Pretenders to Faith. Nor did the latter deny themselves, but grew fat and unwholesome on the loathsome food of sacrilege. And the territory of the False church of Aachen spread like a pernicious plague from Hell, and the Blind Popes battened on the blood of Believers and became sick and gross with lust for the Worldly. And throughout the history of the Church of Aachen not one of their Leaders has ever deviated from this course. They grow wealthier and greedier, casting their eyes upon the world around them as a trough filled with fodder for their avarice. Not so of Holy Bheathaamorois. Even as a declaration of Primacy was made, so did the First Magna Mater begin to devest the Church of lands, gifting them without cost to those who had kept the Faith. Nor did the Popes of Strathclyde adorn themselves as peacocks in the image of the Pharaohs of old, but used such resources as were available to strengthen the foundation and structure of the Church so as to give aid and support and succor to her people. Our cause is to unite the Peoples of Europe under the guiding hand of one Holy and Apostolic Church, and to defend the Followers of the One True Cross against those who have turned their faces from the Light. No blood will be shed for vanity and false pride, and if our enemies should fall in their misguided attempts to destroy us, then we will pray for the Redemption of
their Immortal souls, and intercede with the Saviour on their behalf if such can be accomplished.
"We beseech Michael V to cast his gaze into the only true mirror, that of the soul, that he may see what corruption may do to a Purported Man of God. We pray that he may see the error of his ways, that he may succeed in casting off the bitter legacy of his predecessors, that he may return, humble and contrite, to beg Forgiveness in the gentle and pitying eyes of Our Lord Jesus. May his soul be returned to him, before eternal damnation shall take him from God and Heaven forever. May he be confessed of his sins and trespasses, that he shall return to Faith and Redemption. If the false Pope should repent of his sins then the Holy Mother of the True Church can issue him a pardon for his sins. And we beseech the civilized nations of the world to turn their gaze into the light, for it will only blind those who will not see. May Rome, that great Bastion of Piety and Strength, consider an alternative to a path that will surely lead their mighty nation and all its people to despair and misery. For Might cannot stand without Right, and the house of Right is built upon the Foundation of Truth and Faith and the Glory of God and Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son, may They cast Their Blessings upon all their Followers and lead them down the Path of Righteousness to the Glory of the Resurrection and the Life Everlasting. Amen."
Soon after in 1116, Sister Meire went south to offer aid and comfort to the Saxons. 30,000 highlanders, 5000 knights and 30 catapults went with her to do the dirty work. She met up with Prince Berand in Cornwall. They all then marched into Wessex to topple the twenty towers that the Germans used to imprison the region. Then it was Sussex's trun. The Britlanders could not defend themselves well. The false priests were driven from the blessed islands at last.
