Contents The councilIt's the essence of this game. A single man cannot achieve much, even if you are the Holy Roman Emperor. The first tip is to build a strong council; a diplomat to increase your relations faster, or a spy to assassinate your foes more successfully.I take it you understand that you pick the one with the strongest skill for the right job.
