Chapter One Hundred and One
1794 starts as you’d expect, there are revolts in St Helena and Jicarilla although does Keng Tung convert. Spring brings further rebellions in Mbaracayu, Apache, Shimano, Patos and Chiancon. By the start of June I’ve completely occupied alliance leader Cherokee; peace will be made at some point in the future for 100 points of Portuguese provinces. I’ll make a separate deal with Castile first. Arkansas, Galicia and Futa Jallon revolt over the Summer. Lothringen, Verona and Treviso all convert in the Autumn. Honduras and Xeres rebels before the end of the year.
Peace with Sweden - December 1794
Steady progress here. Basically I need to wait five years DOW, make peace and then DOW Gotland again. That won’t be enough to finish Sweden but it should make serious progress. Tamaulipas rebels in January
Peace with Castile - February 1795
That’s Castile’s non-Eastern Seaboard lands in America, their last African province and some more pressure in Iberia. Creek send a warning soon after. The spring of 1795 sees revolts in Pomo, Salish, Dali, Futa Jallon and Cumbria.
Peace with Cherokee - June 1795
That’s 100 points of Portuguese provinces including Lisbon for only 6 war score! Three days later…
War with Creek - June 1795
Shawnee were allies and Castile had guaranteed Creek. Metz converts and Jicarilla, Illinois, Cartagena and Kii rebel during the month. Fife and Pehuenmapu rebel in July.
War with the Iroquois - August 1795
They were guaranteed by Portugal and Cherokee. Mojave, Fiji and Guaycura revolt.
Peace with Shawnee - August 1795
They are now an OPM - I intend to leave them alone now while they border Portugal as they may draw guarantees. The war moves slowly through the Autumn, Winter and Spring essentially a series of sieges. Of course there are rebels; Leinster, Martinique, Chitimacha, Omaha, Guachichil, Alaska, Ezochi, Jamaica and Piro before the end of the year.
Early 1796 sees more rebels in Ayrshire, Tumbes, Piro, Viet Bac and Tepehuan. Schwyz converts in February and Sjaelland cores in March.
Great Britain declares War - April 1796
That’s an interesting change! No one has DOWed me in ages. Osage revolts.
Peace with Creek - May 1796
Shortly after Iroquois offers peace if I pay 475 ducats. Happily accepted, this pushes war score higher against the Portuguese alliance by 3 points and by getting me out of that war early gives me a chance to reDOW sooner. Brescia and Magdalena rise in June with Osage, Navajo and Samoa the next month. Late summer brings revolts in Crete, Havana, Gao and Asturias.
The campaign in England - Summer 1796
The large British army was hunted down in destroyed in a series of battles tag teamed by two 30+ regiment Horde stacks.
Ilheus and Lancashire revolt in October. November brings 14 cores in East Africa and China and there are another three the next month.
Peace with Castile - November 1796
Castile is now very much an also ran. Of course there are still rebellions; Aleut, Navajo, Jenne and Alentejo. Chuy rebels in December.
As the new year starts I’m at +55 war score over Portugal. The early part of the year brings revolts in Minnesota, Tsimshian, Panama, Lancashire, Atakapa and Beira. May sees four revolts; Suriname, Honduras, Ozark and Muskogee.
Peace with Great Britain - May 1797
That leaves GB with five provinces in total, with two of those Pacific islands they are potentially two wars from annexation.
Summer brings more cores, Kamnuskoye, Liaoxi, Jizhou and Chengde. There are also uprisings; Armor, Beira (twice!), Pueblo, Wolof, Puno, Tarma, Dakota and Tarasco.
Peace with Portugal - September 1797
98 points worth of heavily fortified provinces. I’m trying to drive a corridor towards the Eastern Seaboard so I can start attacking the other North American nations and get into Portugal’s new heartland.
Choco revolts in October causing consternation in the Khan’s harem.
Rebel Count = 6220 (+78)
Rebels = 29,602,000 (+219,000)
