Now is the time to attack. Sail straight into the lands of Alba. Your aim is to take Forteviot – the central power base of the kingdom of the Scots.
The Anglo-Danish rulers of Northumbria are in a weak position. They are suffering from attacks from both sides of the border. Join forces against your common enemy – Alba and the Anglo-Saxon kingdom to the south.
Force is not a good option. The Anglo-Danish people in Northumbria are your ally in this game of political combat. Use this to your advantage. Taking them by force is a silly move, they are willing to welcome you as ruler.
Play a card.
