But MacGregors don't kill innocents, they just don't take anything from anybody. Just like the Scots, at least, I think... :/

Riiiiight.

An Irish man is just a Scottish man with more whiskey and more rage against England. :lol:

I do'nt have quite clear realtions between IG and RL in my mind, but Alexilad reminds me of imperialistic Russia, or the Holy Roman Empire but not because of imperialism, but because of lack of authority and enforcement of laws in provinces. Actually, the first Alexian emperor reminds me of Frederick Barbarossa, as he basically contructed the Holy Roman empire, but it fell apart with his death.

When you say the first Alexian empire, do you mean the original Lad Empire? I'm not overly familiar with the history, but it has been around since the 300s in one form or another

I don't quite know. I read the Empire's history in-game, and the first emperor (something with Alexis, and that explains a lot) basically created the capital and the empire annexating the neighbouring provinces. But that could be only propaganda, you know. :lol:
