I'm playing a manipulative female Bitch in a higher-powered game. She has another PC wrapped around her fingers and building an empire for her, but she wants to make sure she's not loosing everything, should he betray her. Oh, and he's also working a bit to slow for her taste. Thus I'll let try to control another, better established realm. But there are two points I'm not quite sure about:
First, how do I actually worm my way into another nations politics?
Second, how do I make sure to control the whole thing in an efficent way if I'm not the one giving the actual commands?
