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. Some hawkish warlords see you lacking in close ties with strong warlords and invade your territory. Your army fends off the first few advances, but your kingdom's morale plunges. Then consecutive attacks by larger armies penetrate deeper into your territory.
The invaders set fire to your villages, pillage your cities, and generally wreak havoc on your people. Your minor allies provide as much military assistance as they can but are overwhelmed by the numerous opportunists taking advantage of your multiple fronts. 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 an up-and-coming warlord known as the Red Helmet. His army destroys your battalions 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.
