FINAL OUTCOME CARD - B2

YOU KEEP THEM OUT OF YOUR POLITICS.

You lose an opportunity to defeat your rival.

But the visitors remain exactly what they claimed to be:

traders.

They have no military alliance, no territory and no excuse to place soldiers inside your kingdom.

You haven't eliminated the danger.

But you've made it much harder for outsiders to gain political control.

HISTORY REVEAL

European expansion was often easier when Europeans could join existing conflicts.

Refusing to let foreign traders become military partners removes one important way outsiders gained influence.
