Part XV - Expansion for dummies (1568-1570)
Let's have a short update with concentrated victoglory then. We'll have 3 victories in 2 years. Hm, now that I think of it, I should recalculate that conquer rate some time, it used to be a cool statistic.
Look, the Mamluks are in shambles.
However, our War Exhaustion has risen higher than I would like it to be in our struggle with the Timurid beast. So I intend to wait a while before I attack.
And we have a lot of rebels popping up still. Some have been successful, we're working on that. But our first colonist arrives on the Andamans!
I can't muster the patience, Cairo looks too tasty
ADAL is declared alliance leader. This 4-province African tech group nation without forts is situated next to my Somalian colony. They are overrun in no time at all.
The only force of significance is the Mamluk navy, but we decide to ignore them.
His Imperial Awesomeness signs the Militia Act which should make our legionaries even cooler. It does shift the Centralization slider past its limit though.
We move a slider towards Free Subjects and lose a bit of inflation. 6% cheaper tech effectively!
Our victoglorious troops enter Cairo in October 1569.
Then some upstart Bengal rebels start their own country.
Silly silly silly.
We sign a separate peace with the Mamluks. We get Cairo and all of their provinces on the Nubian coast.
Alliance leader Adal becomes a cute little vassal.
Knowledge of the provinces on the Cape and surrounding seas spread to us. We hope to colonize it, but it is still too far away.
And we gain our first vassal on the Indian subcontinent. Note the rebel-held Orissan territory to the east. It's occupied by patriots and we have good hope it will defect to our vassal. Yay.
Summary:
- 2 new vassals, Bengal and Adal
- Cairo
- colonized the Andamans and discovered Cape provinces
Altogether, a more than decent dose of victoglory!

Not sure what to do with the remains of the Mamluks really... It's too poor to be of any use, yet they're too big to vassalize o I do want Medina though, to connect to Mecca and complete my surrounding of the Red Sea.

The USDA recommends at least 1 serving of Victoglory per day, but have we done enough studies to see if concentrated victoglory is safe for human consumption?
I have an important test coming up next Tuesday, so no updates until next week
Defeasgrace!
If I play games all night and fail the test, yeah, that wouldn't be particularly victogloriious
However if you would play all night and pass the test you would be the very definition of a Victoglorious leader.
Victoglory! - a scent for conquerors.
Warning: May cause irrational need to beat neighbors up and take their stuff. Not suitable for small children, pets, heathens, or heretics.
Take your time, but make sure you come back to finish this fantastamazing story!
Other than that, my grandfather is descended from there, a town called "Kerasounta" literally meaning "cherry orchard". Now it is called Cerasus.

*His Imperial Awesomeness does not take responsibility if your neightbor suddenly after using "Victoglory! - a scent for conquerors. TM" make a claim for half your garden.
This is a great AAR and I have really enjoyed reading it. I hope that a new update will be coming soon.
I wonder if my coworker was wearing this when she came a liberated my space heater for her own use.

Great AAR, I'v been looking at this for a while. Make the all the seven seas your Mare Nostrum.
Yes, I hope to update next weekend. Been a bit distracted lately, but victoglory will return!
Congratulations on the AAR. I just caught up with all the Victoglory.
There is only one thing that annoys me. I'm just finishing a Byzantine campaign and you managed to expand more than I did by this point. How did you do it? In about this year I had my ass handed back to me by Milan, Bohemia, GB, and Austria. Any tips?
I'm asking because I am considering starting a campaign with one of the Romanian countries and would like to make a nice Romanian Empire
