There are good reasons for an alliance with England and bad reasons for it. Let’s talk!
The Good:
1. England won’t attack me.
2. I can DOW on Wales’s Powys right now and call on England to be my France check they have the same number of troops. That will give me 6 of Wales to 6 of Englands.
3. If I DOW on Scotland in the future, I can bring in England and expand across the Irish Sea on my timetable not theirs.
The Bad:
1. England waged war on Scotland and ended it before us, so they may DOW them before our peace treaty is up, and then we are following their lead.
2. I don’t want to get pulled into continental wars with France/England with my smaller 3.3k soldiers.
3. I don’t want to get pulled into English Civil Wars since they have more than 6k soldiers and we could lose many men.
4. I don’t want a fast ally for a few years with England. If I want to ally, I want my heir with their daughter to be family moving forward and re-ally after.
So…what do I do?
