Chapter One Hundred and Six
So where were we? Oh yes…
War with Shawnee - January 1807
Yes that is a Land Tech zero OPM with a single regiment of cavalry as alliance leader. Catholic zealots rise in Luxemburg, no I don’t know why either. Nice revolts mid month. Objectives here include 100 points of provinces from Portugal and Cherokee and the annexation of Creek (who’re outside Portugal’s diplomatic web).
Through the Spring there are revolts in; Gibraltar, Pawnee, Potawatomi, Lisbon, Aragon, Eiriksfjord, Labrador, Atakapa and Maine. Creek is annexed in early March.
War with Sweden - May 1807
Oops, someone forgot the screenshot. Nothing to see here, move along please.
Once the truce ended I DOWed again, upsetting some people; Dangla, Sayin Noyin, Dzungaria, Huron, Valencia, Dendi, Wairoa, Guayana and Vermandois. Nine rebellions for DOWing Sweden was a bit unexpected!
The summer’s rebels are in; Cayuga, Antigua, St Thomas, Eidsiva, Chaco Boreal, Dornod, Vendee, Cayor, Handan, Iowa, Pawnee and Sauk.
Peace with Cherokee - September 1808
That’s yet another new OPM. Of course there are rebels: Toubkhal, Muskogee, Seminole, Caracara and Guatemala. Menabe revolts in October.
Peace with Portugal - November 1807
They are down to the five provinces on the Eastern Seaboard. As is well known you can’t please all the people all the time. Rebels hit Satsuma, Moron, Karankawa, Porto Seguro, Winnebago, Chiaha and Susquehanna. December’s revolts are Puerto Rico and Yakutat.
1808 and there are revolts; Bauchi, Chichas, Chiquitos, Pamlico, Guachichil, Ayrshire and Cumbria.
Peace with Sweden - April 1808
Sweden’s also now an OPM. There’s four uprisings in response to the news; Gibraltar, Zapotec, Tohancapan and Pehuenmapu. May also brings four revolts; Guangzhou, Missouri, Oneida and Labrador.
June 1808 and a spy sent to ‘Fabricate Claims’ against Gotland fails at 5%. This doesn’t matter since the entire point of the exercise was to get relations down from +115 so I can DOW without a stab hit. The failed spy drops relations to +90...
War with Gotland - June 1808
Peace with Castile - June 1808
With Portugal so near destruction there’s no need to keep Castile around any more. The summer sees rebellions in Arguin, the Canaries, Ceara, Manahoac, Hitachi, Cuzco, the Falklands, Jiangsu, Burgos, Salish and Alaska.
After a quiet August the rebels pick up again; Saintonge, Jylland, Pamlico, Idah, Chaco Boreal and Ojibwa.
A spy succeeds in damaging relations with the Papacy in November leading to…
War with the Papal States - November 1808
It’s an unpopular decision; Murcia, Andalucia, Caddo, Chinook, Squamish, Munster, Izumo and the Kurils. Little Karoo revolts in a month later.
There’s very little to say about the wars. They are basically sieges of very heavily fortified provinces that rarely fall to the first assault.
1809 starts with revolts; Manahoac, Woods Cree, Patagonia Oriental and Guyuan.
February sees a rebellion in Granada and a second uprising in Woods Cree.
Peace with Shawnee and Portugal - March 1809
Portugal is now an OPM. Revolts hit Girona, Seminole and Yamashiro.
Days later Great Britain declares War!
Rebellions continue throughout the summer; Samoa, Mosquito, Maranhao, Tucujulandia, Vestbygden, Menominee, Copiapo, Auvergne, Catawba, Cahokia, Epekwitk, Luanda, Bagirmi and Suma.
Elsewhere…
Cherokee has broken to Portuguese patriots and defected to Portugal! The province was culturally Portuguese after the conversion of the originally pagan and Cherokee province. When I force released Cherokee they came back as Cherokee cultured but the province remained Portuguese. It’s annoying.
Peace with the Papal State and Sweden - August 1809
Two more down.
The rest of the year brings a long series of revolts; Porto, Seneca, Dalaskogen, Alpercatas, Toledo, Tangiers (twice), Kii, Unami, Tuscarora (twice), Wyandot, Connaught, Ozark, Mandan, Beira, Cuzco, Quijos and Chipewyan.
Peace with Great Britain - December 1809
GB is now an OPM.
As we reach 1810 I’m only at war with OPM Gotland; a level 6 fortress on an island. This is taking some time…
Rebel Count = 7269 (+130)
Rebels = 33,181,000 (+408,000)
