It's 7 on 5 now. I'll switch and it's 6 on 6. Me wins.
For ones wondering how are all Sairs now against GRN: they are not. Empire is made of several smaller authonomies and Custodi hermanos had enough freedom to shoot at Gaians (Corsair allies for many years, but it's a GAME caramba!) and side with GRN. They even usted Gallic civilian ships, to not depend of Corsair shipyards, far from frontline. All fine and balanced, if you ask me.
Brave TBHs were annoying evil GRNs in the meantime and were showing them hairy macho fists and other hairy things. So King (in his deep wisdom) denied his hospitality to TBHs during Knossos event. Cool gringo, if you ask me. (not like that evil Lanakov that never gave me Nutella. Ever)
Corsairs loyal to Custodi and King Charles XI will not come to this event. They are busy sleeping on their prolonged siesta. Ones interested in spoils of war will be on TBH side and TBH is doing this because their loyal ally Gaians asked them nice. Also Gaians have best chicks.
