Duke of Wellington: ...Who more fitting for a war than Austria, unrightful owners of Jedisan

...not to mention unrightful owners of multiple adjacent provinces to Jedisan ! ! :D

GO HORDE ! ! :)

awesome update ! ! :cool:
 
Let's go conquer Jedisan.

Mind, I'm not so sure about the all infantry plan. The Golden Horde has relied on horses like Shaybanid relied on sheep.

I'm bringing it up again, aren't I?
 
GrimPagan - :D Nice chant

Saulta - Will do.

Olav - Cheers

Specialist290 - Hmmm, I wonder if the DOPA agents have made you a non-person yet.

Mettermrck - We shall see.

nette001 - Quite right. He isn't that big of a fan of Uzbeks to like being called one.

Falastur - Perhaps its for the best.

GhostWriter - Haha, excellent point.

SirruShan - Yip you sure are. [notes of SirruShan for future DOPA agent "check-up"]

Güyük : Part 4
The war against Austria was unexpected in all but the closest circle to Güyük. This was vital for the shock factor of such a war alone distracted the attentions of most of Güyük's worst enemies away from his internal reforms as they hungered to see the Khan fail miserably. Many of these were so passionate to see the Khan removed that they were even hoping to see the Horde lose land to Austria simply so as the Khan would lose his head.

Güyük though wisely knew that shock alone would not sustain interest in the war. He therefore began a program of embedding writers with the Horde infantry with orders to create stories with a 4:1 mix of fantasy to reality. The result was the Battle Times. It quickly became the third largest selling magazine of the year.

The way most in the Horde find out about the war. Writers were given discretion to switch Austria and Horde in stories depending upon the nature of the events​

Back in the real world however there was actually little need to fabricate the results of the war. The true value of infantry soon became obvious. Compared to cavalry, infantry had a low value in terms of money, prestige and numbers. Therefore they were perfectly suited to costly tactics involving assaults, aerial spying and human siege ladders. The Austrian garrisons just couldn't hold out against Horde generals willing to sacrifice life and limb of lesser soldiers.

The results of the war three months in​

Few battles between armies occurred as the Austrians fought against the many rebel armies roaming freely about their empire. A fact the Horde seized upon strongly making swift gains through the Balkans.

Six months into the war​

Soon it was clear that the Austrians would not be able to force out the Horde and they accepted a generous peace deal sent their way.

All infantry armies had shown their strength with resounding success to all in the Horde. Even Güyük's critics grudgingly had to accept that the war had been won well. But this would likely fuel their anger even more and they would be sure to jump upon whatever changes the Khan might try to make in future with renewed passion.
 
Does Guyuk have something against Moldova? You could have put a noose around the ottomans ,,, err protective cordon of provinces ... which could help persuade the ottomans their rightful place is as part of the Horde.

As for the nobles and their cavalry, send them on an Uzbek hunt - in a galaxy far, far away.
 
Oooh. Those southern Balkan provinces are not gonig to be fun to defend once Austria recovers. Why did you choose them rather than other provinces?
 
Chief Ragusa - Actually I clicked the wrong province and ended up with that deal rather than deciding on it specifically.

gis - Not yet, the Russian Khanate still remains.

germanpeon - Mostly they were the ones I had control of. Beyond that Bulgaria is actually quite a wealthy province.

Mettermrck - Order of Genghis: First Class. Would that suffice?

Güyük : Part 5
As any true supporter of the Horde will tell you war and destruction is the finest form of expansion. Something of an art form some might even add. But one should be careful not to let that lead you into the belief that this is only option available for Khans as a means of territorial acquisition.

This is where the newest section of DOPA became involved, the Diplomacy Corp. Following on from the successful war against Austria Güyük increased its funding drastically. The next moves of the Horde on the international stage would, all going to plan, be invisible yet make huge gains also.

A set of diplomatic tools bought with the increased funding​
 
That tool on the top looks especially fun!
 
Behead the ignorant and traitorious critics of the Khan! There backwards thinking is not needed for such a great nation. Backwards thinking is for Uzbecks!
 
Please don't poke me with any of those things! I'll be diplomatic from now on! I swear!

Still, nice to see diplomacy's been given the Horde touch...
 
So where Guyuk the uzbek going next? Infantry!? PSHAAW!
