Chapter 12, 1465-1467
Before I get started, we get this little annoying offer from our old buddies:
NO!!!!!!! WE WILL NOT!!!!!!
After impaling the diplomat, the war went on as usual. Back in the gulf of Varna, the feared Wallachian Navy beat the Genoans.
As the Genoans sent 1,000 man armies to be systematically sent to their doom in Rumelia, this happened:
Interesting, don't usually see them this early on... In other news, a daring plan was being amassed. Within a month, 3,000 troops had been dropped off in Kaffa, right under the nose of the 11 Genoan in the Azov Sea.
Needless to say, we skidadled back to Rumelia port. On a side note, WHY IS NUBIA IN AZOV???
Eventually, the Genoans caught on and blockaded the coast, essentially trapping our ships in Kaffa.
Eventually they left and Admiral Calafat made a run for it.
The ploy worked and new troops were donated to the siege immediately.
This went on for quite some time until this broke up the boredom:
We accepted without delay, as any ally is better than no ally.
Not too long after that, I recieve this:
What will the Wallachians do!?!??!?!?! Find out on the next exciting update of Men of Carpathia: A Wallachia AAR!

I too hope you don't take it. You can get more. I wonder if the Netherlands are a bad chocie of ally. After all they aren't going to be much help and might drag you into a few bad wars. What is Nubia doing in Azow?
Netherlands ? Strange choice as an ally. True, they'll have the fleet to send you reinforcements in your area, but they'll also drag you into wars against france, spain, england, and the like.
Anyway, do take the peace offer and try to get Kaffa !

Anarion-You bet I will! :rofl:
Duke of Wellington-You'll see what happens LATER, then you'll understand my reasoning for accepting that proposal! As for the Nubians, I think they're at war with Byzantium.
Don Matito-My badboy's a little high to be risking that, but I'll see what I can do. As for the Netherlands, they're not strong enough to go up against the great powers as of yet, but you'll see their importence soon enough!

War with a big neighbour? That'd be interesting. But I look forward to finding out more.
Would be kind of cool if they got COnstantinople though it'd make it hard for you to get it later. If Azow owned by Byzantium?
Duke of Wellington said:
Shhh! That's top secret!
Duke of Wellington said:
No, Azow is owned by France. FRANCE! That's two provinces they own in our reigon! We'll have to show them someday!
... someday, sure. But why not use them to your benefit for a while: ally them and let 'em beat up on the Turk for a while, then attack!
Chapter 13, 1467-1469
We win Kaffa, FINALLY!
And move onto and capture Kerch.
Genoa was feeling rather weeary after this latest of events, and peace was struck for 175 ducats.
A few days later, this interesting bit 'o info poped up:
Funny, it normally takes them a much shorter time to do that! While we're on the subject of international news, here are a few selected shots of Europe:
Western...
Eastern...
Middle Eastern...
And that does it for this mediocre, over-viewish update. To find out what happens next time, tune into Men of Carpathia: A Wallachia AAR!

Nice. Seems like continuing the war paid off!
That's a strange looking Europe. England working their way through France, and Denmark is huge (or maybe it is the Kalmar Union?).

That's a good peace deal but it would be good to get some land off of them. I like seeing the old flags and things from pre patch EUII.
agreed with Olav, it's a pretty ugly-looking europe. But it's all good for Wallachia not to have big minor-gobbling countries. You mentionned your BB, where are you on that front?
And I'm curious of what will happen with Netherlands

Olav said:
I'm not sure England actually got anything from France in the war. By the looks of what they've done instead is diploannexed Burgundy...which is something I've never seen happen before, though admittedly my experiences are minimal.
Olav-Europe is a bit odd. It's not the Kalmar Union, the Danes just wiped Sweden into oblivion. They're actually pretty powerful, equal to England if not more.
Duke of Wellington-I didn't want to take land for fear of evil badboy! And, yes, pre-patch EUII stuff does break up the monotony of patch/mymap stuff.
Don Matito-It's always agreeable to agree with Olav . Anyway, BB is less than I thought, down to 19 from before.
Falastur-I think what England did is annex Orleans, and inherited Burgundy, not Diplo-Anexation. Never seen that one before! I'll go post it to the strage screenshots place over at EUII central.

I'll begin this update with a curiosity, really.
Even after being obliterated by several different powers, the Romans still survive. Highly unusual. And wait, there's more!
Rebels! w00t! They are wiped from the face of the earth. The peace is still continuing when...
We discover that we might actually have a friend in Hungary. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Right?
And now we see our alliance with the Netherlands, which has come to include Lithuania, bear fruit.
You bet! We outnumber the Poles on our front by a few thousand! Let's roll!
Well, I guess we didn't count them... After they're beaten back after several weeks, we get our first offer.
Yeah, sure. Whatever. We'll take it.
On another note, things seem to be picking up on the campaign:
As the war gets better for our heros, an unexpected twist occurss, which will be revealed in the next tantalizing episode of Men of Carpathia: A Wallachia AAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like the Poles have run away. Shouldn't be too hard to get Podolia as well! Also, I hope you get control over those rebels in Kastamon... it's always a risk of getting defections when you're at war and you got your hands full.
Good AAR you have going here. I did like the bit about the Nubians in Azov - does make you wonder. The French in Athens though ... believe it or not that is actually plausible for this timeframe.
I eagerly await the next twist

Wasn't it the Catalan Company in Athens? But yeah, there was a little bit of filibustering by Western mercenaries in Achaea in the 14th century and onwards.
Indeed. The Catalan Company arrived in the early 14th century and mixed with the French, who had arrived a century earlier in the aftermath of the 4th crusade when the area was conquered by nobles of French provenance.Falastur said:
