Warlords: Strategic Conquest
"An Arranged Marriage...well, yes I...guess we could do that. I will wed my firstborn to your first child of the opposite sex."
Toleron announces, "May they live in a world of prosperity and peace, and may our friendship last for eternity."
You return home with an arranged marriage for your child. Unfortunately, it holds no sway in international relations. A few desperate renegade warlords see this soft alliance as a sign of weakness and invade your territory. General Nahru, true to his word, sends troops to help you. Your minor allies provide some military assistance as well. Your combined forces fight a multi-front war against several hostile warlords. Just as the tide begins to turn in your favor, General Nahru is tragically killed in battle. His son Lurdu takes over and, fed up with your uselessness to him and diminishing international stature, immediately betrays the alliance and cuts off help.
Your kingdom's morale plunges. Soon consecutive attacks by enemy forces penetrate deep into your territory.
The invaders set fire to your villages, pillage your cities, and generally wreak havoc on your people. Your citizens flee to Toleron's territory as refugees. In the face of impending defeat, many of your soldiers desert your army as well.
Your last stand comes when your castle comes under attack by General Nahru's treacherous son Lurdu. His formidable army destroys your installations and ransacks your castle. To avoid the humiliation of your severed scalp being put on display outside your former castle, you commit suicide in your throne room by burning yourself to a crisp.
