Message: <blockquote data-quote="Corsair" data-source="post: 5453089" data-attributes="member: 23477">After a lengthy discussion in IRC and another on the GITP forums, many people are convinced my plan to create a city state is doomed to fail, since Mulhorand will likely stomp on me like a bug.The common alternate solution is to subvert Free Unther somehow, either through an overt act such as leading a populist uprising, or through working with what is left of the government to achieve a position of power, then negotiating peace with Mulhorand so whatever little bit of Free Unther is left after the treaty sees me (and ok, the party too) as "Great bringers of peace."So if I go that path:1) Which option is better?  Work with the existing leaders?  Lead rebellion of slaves and commoners?2) What relationship should I aim for with Mulhorand?  Basically ask them to let me do my rebellion in peace and in return promise to give them most of Free Unther?  Do I actively fight them until I get into a position of power, then negotiate a peace?3) Relationships with other countries in the region or other groups?  Do I seek support from Thay?  Do I try to encourage powerful churches to support us through sending missionaries (since they will want to convert people who otherwise only worshiped Gilgeam before)?</blockquote>
