1544-1569 Mzab
In 1545 I decided to declare a war upon Venice, who suffering some serious gangbang in the Balkans and terrible revolts in the Italian holdings wasn't able to focus on holding their African possessions well enough.

"Your Majesty, we captured the governor of the Venetian province. He was convicted of eating children."
"What?"
"He is a Catholic, sire. All Catholics eat children."
"Whoaah?... No, they don't! For example I am one and..."
"Of course, your majesty. Anyway, it's a dinner time now! Today's your favourite Knuckles and Fingers Delux Super Size Salad."

In 1547 a peace was signed, giving Gabes to Mzab. In 1566 the second Venetian province revolted away from the Italian Republic and joined our glorious realm. By the end of my rule Venetian threat has been neutralised completely.
Generally speaking, wanting to calm down the situation and carry out some vital economic reforms thorough the country, I decided to avoid wars, expand fortresses and convert some provinces. Although pretty successful in spreading shiite faith, I failed in not engaging in military conflicts. The worst was to come...
In 1554 Order of St. John, occupying Tunisian capital province since the fell of Tunisia itself, declared war upon most glorious Mzabian empire.

"Your Majesty, the Knights attacked us!"
"Most treacherous of them! What's their strength?"
"Fifty thousand soldiers, Reneissance land technology and La Valette commanding them."
"Our's?"
"Twenty thousand soldiers, Late Medieval naval technology and Azib commanding."
"Azib?"
"Random leader, sire. Two-two-two."
"God damn it. My advisor! Prepare the horse! I am heading out for a war!"
"Your stats, sire?"
"Four-four-three-one!"

Call me cheater, call me a noob, but being overhelmed with the Knight's unreasonable power, I decided to create a leader with my name. Soon, the Catholic army assaulted our three provinces but lost some substantial numbers because of attrition. Our most skilled army under their most skilled leader, encircled evil forces and defeated them in some plain province, crushing them with most uberly powerful cavalry. After a few years I managed to siege back my provinces and take Tunisia itself from them. Peace was signed in 1558.
