Count Ekbert has enough gold to build another improvement.


Another forestry is to be built, now in Ostfriesland.

A new claim (1079)


Ancient documents recently discovered have legitimated a claim to the title of Sticht. The county, along with Gelre and Ostfriesland, is part of the Duchy of Gelre, currently unclaimed. If Ekbert can take control of Sticht he could make himself a Duke!
