The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him. If this holds true than Machiavelli of Italy finds himself most wise for having surrounded himself with the great minds of England and Germany while they campaign through France. The french fool and the Austrian traitor find themselves but a trove to be plundered by those around them. It would be wise for Austria to rethink their strategy, for men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others.
There will be no more warnings.
