Kara Koyunlu during 1829-1834
It started with going with more centralization in the domestic policy...
Kara Koyunlu goverment knew - if were to be victorious, we need to expand.
Therefore a list of possible targets was made. The target had to be small, because our military was not particulary strong yet...Also she must not be in big alliances. Timurids were out of the question, so were mameluks. But Georgia was looking good
Alhough they had an alliance with Trebizond and were a vessal of theyrs, i doubted that Trebizond was going to defend them. Attack plan was made and war was declare...
Cavarly was to quickly attack Georgia and any soldiers that were possibly stationed there...
...and infantry was to start the siege in Armenia.
Meanwhile, reinforcements were trained to assist in battle...
It didnt take long - both Georgias provinces were sieged by our troops, it was only a matter of time now before they would fall. Georgia's desparate attempts to repel us failed. Sometime during the siege they managed to get about 2k soldiers to Kurdistan, but luckily our brave reigment of 300+ men were able to hold until the reinforcements arrived...
After about a year of siege without any major distractions, the Georgia was ours and we were ready to negotiate peace...
Unfortunately, they were so poor that we didnt get any money. We got the province of Georgia, and military access through theyr country. As they already were a vassal of Trebizond, we could'nt demand vassalisation. From my point of view, the province of Georgia could be a good starting point for the conquests to come. There are some easy minors around, who dont have any real alliances
Also when the Timurids collapse and we get stronger, we could also launch and invasion to the Golden Horde. Anyway, the was was over and i started to invest in stability. I also promoted tax colector in Georgia, alto the province still was very poor. Also i managed to trade for some maps in the Balkans...
The Timurids kept it cool during my war with the Georgia. Hope they keep it that way
On the downside the first negative event ocurred, nothing major tho, just regular Corruption
Heres the savegame
On to the next player...
