 It pleases me greatly to see us all gathered here today. May we find peace and civility as a result of these negotiations. I am Chancellor Alenar Brielemann of the Valox dynasty. We are blessed to have with us King Torgat Zorgogoth of the blood-stained empire. Astral Baron Arghtar of the terminal Hollow and the Danklord Dwarfmeister Stephen Bigsword of the Most High under Dwarfs. Hey, what's up everybody? I would like to file a grievance against Stephen Bigsword. Ah man. Grievance noted Torghat, but remember everybody, we are here to solve our differences peacefully for the good of the realm. Yes Baron? I would also like to declare war on the Dwarf. Nobody said anything about war. Are you listening? I feel like I might have stepped on some toes here. That's because you did. You shouldn't even be here. We're wizard kings from the astral realm. That's like this close to being a god. Okay, first off, you came here. Plus I'm way closer to being a god than you. I mean look at this. Come on. Grievance, I have been insulted. Also, let's revisit this war thing. If any of us declared war now, we would be then classified as evil. Is that what you want? Question, who classifies us as evil? The Astral Ethics Committee. Objection, you made up the Astral Ethics Committee. Right, well you asked a dumb question, didn't you Arghtar? All we know is it's a point system and we don't have enough reasons to declare war without it being an evil action. Surely smiting a force of evil cannot be considered an act of evil. That's just it, he's not evil. Thank you. Today I found an ancient dragon and instead of murdering it in cold blood, I let it leave and then took all its gold. That counts as good? No, just sort of neutral. Disgusting. Look, I'm not trying to make enemies here. How about I give you all some dragon gold and we call it even, huh? You trespassed upon the lands of the Terminal Hollow. Our underground passage isn't your territory, what you're gonna do. You also attacked my forces when they entered the underground. Well, they were trespassing, what you're gonna do. You also expanded your territory into several provinces where I already called dibs. That's another grievance, mister. You know what? I'm sorry. Here's some gold. Not how this works. So you don't want this? I... okay, yes. Great, so we're done here. No, no, we have collectively assembled a list of grievances that we would like to bring to your latige. Ignored three separate calls to war. Broke two open border treaties. Vassalized a free city, hotly contested by parties which may or may not be here today. Constructed two beacons of yernite. Did some more trespassing. Are these supposed to make me sound like the problem? Because it sounds more like I'm doing great, and you all suck. Grievance. Gold. Forgiven. If he likes one more beacon, he will unify the realm. Well, that is wonderful, obviously, and has objectively determined good people. We are in favor of that. Great, then I'd like to buy up all the land east of the Bloodstained Empire. No, well asking is just a formality. I already settled there. Grievance, I declare grievances. And I'd like to pay those off. He cannot keep getting away with this. I'm gonna let you guys work this out. Well, I have a beacon to build, and I'll see you all when I'm gone. I can have an army of undead at the beacon within days. Baron, be honest with me. Are you evil? Now who's asking dumb questions? Huge thanks yet again to Paradox for sponsoring today's video. The game is Age of Wonders 4. It is my favorite Paradox game so far. You're basically playing the kingdom in a fantasy realm, and you get to custom make your own leader species government. It plays like Civ, but with all these random events that happen that make it feel like D&D, which are the things we do. So that's cool. I highly recommend it, and you can get it through the link in our description. And if you do, thank you in advance, because that lets us keep making these videos for Paradox. Also, hi, I'm Green, and I haven't been here for a while. I'm still planning to release more things, and in fact, there's another Paradox video coming out next week. Plus several other game-based videos that I'm just gonna be spending more time on like I did with this one, and doing like a full CG blunder thing. If you'd like to see us more regularly, me, Allison, and Matt do a morning show livestream every single day over on Patreon. Thank you so much for watching, hope you have a great day, and I will see you next week.
