First just a quick confirmation about the caravan on the country overview map: Am I correct that in the current version the caravan is permanently on the map but does not sell equipment/horses anymore? 

Secpnd, a question to the correlation between the marriage to Jeanne and Varea and preparing/waging wars with their countries: Does it have any effect one way or the other that I am technically married to the heads of state when preparing war against Amagal and Begus? 

Cheers & Thank you for a great game!
