Adventures From the Ottoman Empire:

The Sultan had had enough of being peaceful and contemplating things, he needed to kill some infidels and heathen to ensure a top spot in heaven and with it all those lovely virgins.

And so war was declared upon the Persians, men of heresy and goat loving disposition and victory seemed assured until 60,000 persians marched into Dulkadir to take up defensive positions on the mountains behind a river guarding the only route into Persia. I can tell you that the Sultan was quite angry that day, promises to convert to buddism if those men died were the least offensive that I heard.

Happily for all the palace servants the Persians decided to attack us, crossing their own defensive river to meet our heavily superior cavarly army in plains. By allah's glory we were granted victory and thousands of heathen corpses ensured that the mountain folk would not go hungry that winter.

After this victory was swift and bloody as the causcaus's and Baghdad were ceded to the happ Sultan. His dances when that was offered were a sight to behold, I never knew a man of the sultans *cough*size*cough* could do so many backflips.
Elsewhere the Armenian's felt the wrath of our armies and were annexed, Georgia and Ak Konylu were vassalised and Astrakhan saved from the marauding Muscovites by our brave janissaries, and Crimean muslims set free of their orthodox christian oppresors.

Peace when it came was brief and soon enough Persia was attacked again, Mosul and Kerbala falling to us. Bosnia had been annexed and peace was present once more. Elsewhere conversions had gone very well with many new converts to pay donation to the mosques, although to be fair those donations are lower than the Christian-Scum-Tax that is also implemented.

Cordial relations were set up with more infidel filth thanks to the diplomatic corps comprimised entirely of women, who seem not to share my Sultan's hatred of infidels and also have certain physical attributes that endear them to the weak and decadent infidels.

The mameluks were annexed by us in the infidel year of 1510 with much rejoicing as more slave-warriors were added to our ranks. A masterful campaign by the Sultan involved precise planning and time awareness the likes of which had never been seen before. The Venetians had the guts to ask for Venice, something that made us laugh in their faces, yet such bravery was to be rewarded and the Sultan gave the Venetian's 60 new galleys as a gift.

Finally the Sultan ordered the declaration of war upon the Hungarians whilst their suzerain's were off fighting in France, losing as the case turned out to be. The war was sharp and painless, well for us-the hungarians probably disagreed. The ports of Krain and somewhere else and Vesperzyn were added to our realm, followed by immediate conversions of 2 of them with precipated much rejoicing amongst the Sultan.

However all that rejoicing killed him and a new Sultan was dug up, called Selim the Grim by many I found him a delightful leader, always ready to play a practical joke or sing a naughty limerick. Still anything that scares the fearful infidels is a good thing, something he has remarked upon many times.

You've got to explain this for me, how could we ask for something we already own?

War against Poland

Well our great royal line first got to rule the small but great nation of Brandenburg. As for we were a small nation, we tried to establish a good relationship with neighboring nations like Poland and Austria. Austria accepted our friendship but Poland didn't. So in the first month of our reign Poland attacked us. The War was a stalemate in the beginning after we got our glorious leader Casmir. But then it turned bad for us and good for Poland. Because of Poland being the bigger country they had more men to recruit and attack us as for we were only a nation of 4 provinces our population soon fasted near extermination because of our harsh recruiting. Poland took over our country and we saw no faith in our royal line to continue. But an unexpected thing happened. Denmark’s king died and had no heir, so their royal cabinet asked us to rule their glorious kingdom and we of course accepted.

Taking over Denmark
The first thing we did was to extend our friendship to our vassals the Swedes and try to negotiate with the growing power of Poland. The Swedes wanted to end their vassalage to us and we agreed. They are a poor nation and we didn’t gain much on having them around, and we thought it was better to have a good relationship with them and a strong Sweden if mother Russia decided to expand in Scandinavia, to have them as a buffer against other nations. After taking over Denmark Poland seemed afraid of that we should seek retaliation against them witch we wanted of course ;) but not at the moment and Poland and Denmark agreed on a Nap and a plan on how our expansion in Germany would be so we didn't interfere with each others goals and demands. This proved to be a benefit for us as we expanded thru Germany and we will probably expand further south.

As we expanded we received words that Austria didn't like our expansions and threatened us to stop. But after some diplomacy and probably some heavy words from other nations they told us that it was ok and that they had other interests to deal with.


The new Imperialistic ways of Denmark

We were lucky to get a conquistador in Fyn early on so we sent this glorious explorer to the new land in America to search for a good place to settle. We talked to England as we know they are also interested in America and asked them if it was OK to colonize the northern part of America and we got the green light. 5 colonists were sent away while we our armies were fighting in Germany. We started to get good terrain and explored more and more land. Now we have enough to get our own piece of the new land but it will probably be some fighting in the area, as we have seen Spaniards and English men colonizing the same close by each others. We hope that we will stay out from the mess.

AAR Portugal 1492-1513
shield_POR.gif

The mighty Portugal Empire is placed all over the world from south to north, from east to west, coloring almost whole world map by own color...

Stop, this is mess, that is light-green, that is Ottomans Empire. Hmmm, who knows anything of them ?



The tiny Portugal Empire made quiet session to live and rest in peace by beating mighty pagans and exploring new areas of our blue globe, while rest of stupid monarchs think there is only europe continent at the world and the earth is flat. We salute only our dear Isabella, who guesses to send Columbcheg to west areas and conquered mighty Aztecs.

The Portugal plan was to explore West Africa by conq and use explorer to reach Goa, and kill natives there to establish colony. This plan was greately executed by wise monarchs Tonio and Daniel. At first we Portugal reached NT9, which improves exploring by reducing attritions factors. Then we aimed to LT9 to have magic weapon before stupid pagans.

At halfway of this hard task our conq with 15K dowed Ashanti, so Portugal owned second gold. Income was improved from 24 to around 35 to this times. Later with more successful trading and two small CoTs appeared we achieved 46 ducats monthly income. A lot of exploring were made in West Africa, around Africa and Brazil was discovered.

During this time our good brother (or sister ?) Spain decided to defend Venetian lands from french aggressors and looked to have success in that. France didn`t invest from start to LT9, so had fire disadvantage for rather long time.

Then Daniel ruled Portugal nation, and he executed very well task to expland the country in good areas - plus Zanzibar CoT and 3 African golds. Besides he finally settled colony in Goa, where Tonio failed and made further exploration.

The tiny Portugal is very peaceful and wish peace and love to all nations.

A Collection of Stories on the
Kingdom of England




180px-Yorkshire_rose.png


A New Power Rising

In 1492 England was a backwater trying to live off former glories. The War of the Roses was yet to be won, but the house of York had the upper hand after the death of Henry Tudor at Bosworth Field. King Richard was destined to a peaceful reign.

Richard assigned a new advisor in the spring of 1492, a Dutchman named van Engel. This role would over the centuries become a family job, passed on from father to son. Engel's first job was to increase the shock value of the Royal Armies and to centralize the state. The size of the army was increased and over 50 gallies were commisioned for the royal navy. A new admiral was also given a new commision, a skilled fighter to hold off any foreign attack from the mainland.


Merchant Adventures, part I

During this time of war, two brothers named Cabot approached the court asking for money to explore the name famous new continent in the West. Being an innovative king, Richard send them out with 3 ships each to explore the new lands.

The provinces of Powhatten, New York and Massetuets were found and mapped out by the brothers, as was a sea passage to the Spanish colonies in Mexico. Unfortunatly the Spanish were also operating in the area and colonies flying the Spanish flag were found north of the fledging English colonies.

180px-Lancashire_rose.png

End of the War of the Roses

In 1509 Richard died without children. This would of brought alot of trouble for the now peaceful kingdom if not for the son of Henry Tudor, the Duke of Richemond also named Henry. Henry was the last surviving male descent of the houses of York and Lancaster with the best claim to the kingdom. Hense he was crowned in April of 1509.

Only one revolt rose, but this was quickly thown back down again by the Royal Army. Hereafter began another time of peace yet the military was not forgotten. Arquebuises became offical weapon of choice in the army, replacing the old-fashioned bow.


Fog in Channel, Europe Cut Off

For a long time in the royal court, there was deliberation about the Scotish and Irish question. After a while it became clear that Scottish soveignty wasn't acceptable to the king and the Duke of Norfolk was sent with the Royal Army up north to fight the Scottish King James IV. Norfolk beat the Scots in two short battles. The butchers bill on the Scottish side was huge, with King James being added to the list later on in the war.

After the Scottish army was destroyed, all major cities were put under siege and later to the torch. Much of the loot was sent back to London to the Cabot Bros. Company. Peace was signed, the now invalid King James being made a vassal and handing over Berwick.


Merchant Adventures, part II

Building on the success of the exploration done under King Richard, Henry ordered more money to go into the construction of colonies in America. Towns as New York was completed with over 2000 citizens. Boston late in 1512 also became a major centre of trade.

Sweden: The sick man of Europe Part I

Sweden_lesser_arms.png

Ascending the Throne

Everything was going bad in the relatively unstable realm of Sweden. Sweden never had any good source of income: peasants were too poor to pay any kind of taxes, nobles never paid any, exactly as the clergy. Trade was never a good venture either, as every income we would make from it, would end in Danish coffers. Apart from that, Sweden was always forced to pay a good portion of its income to their overlord: Denmark. All Swedish Kroners would end in the hands of the greedy dannish ruler, one way or another. As war usually brings money, the government started a wide reformation of the army. Instead of fighting wars defensively, Sweden would take the offensive.

Viking Conquests in the Baltic

Without the government's consent, a band of war hungry vikings decide to loot Estonia, who was owned by the Teutonic order. The small fort that existed there, was hastily taken, its populace masacrated. Men killed, children made slaves, and, of course, women raped. In short words, a wonderful day. The Danish use this to their own benefit, and decide to take Ösel from the Teutonic order. The loot goes so well, that the wise Teutons decide to give us Estonia without a problem.

The Kalmar Recess

By now, Sweden was still a Danish vassal. Sweden was unhappy to be, but the greedy King Hans didnt care about us. He even forced us, to declare him the King of Sweden as well. We accepted, but since he didnt honour his words, we rejected his claims to the crown. Sweden, finds itself very unhappy to still maintain the Kalmar Union, but we shall find a way out of these troubles. One, that shall make Sweden stronger, and not weaker then it already is.

The End of the Kalmar Union

Being unable to be a good king to the Swedish and without having any benefit of being a Danish vassal, diplomats are sent to Copenhagen to speak with Hans. The Danish agree to a long term alliance, and also agree to stop taking half our yearly income, as they have been doing. And so everyone is happy. We are currently looking for a good aristocrat to take the reigns of power, and to make Sweden's power grow. However, such a task is hard, as Scandinavia is full of incompetent nobles.

The End of the Teutonic Order

Being savagely attacked by the Polish, the teutons scumb to the eagles. Looking for easy pickings, the Swedish Council decides to take the offensive again, and declares war upon the once proud order, resulting in their incorporation into the Scandinavia Realm. Even with only Swords and Pitchforks, our army was victorious. Truly, a wonderful day. Everyone rejoices in Sweden, as our realm receives a sudden boost of grain. Even in the middle of a crisis, peasants are happy when their stomach is full of bread.

OOC: Sweden is indeed the sick man of europe. Backward in tech and income, plus having a Big Poland and Denmark right in my back, there is little i can do. Cannot wait for the good years to come. :)

P.S. I and cheech entered the channel one hour before game started. However, only when you hosted, i did notice i was runing the wrong eu2. This why i entered a bit late. I am going to ask my cookie reward, but if you think i dont deserve it, i am not going to die, either...

AAR Portugal 1513-1532
shield_POR.gif

The session for Portugal was rather successful. There were a bit too much troops lost, but all tasks were completed, and income forecast was even overjumped by 20 ducats.

At first Calicut was dowed - everything was prepared by Daniel, so our cool conqs 5-5-5 and 6-4-5 easily assault whole country, giving us knowledge of Delhi and Calicut CoT. Then small CoT in Caribbean Islands appear, and couple of years later we dowed Songhai for Timbuktu. Everything was successful and income immediatly raised from 96 to about 115-120.

Then each year Portugal had to live on awesome 87 census taxes - i didn`t mint at all whole session before last year. So usually in January i sent 6 merchants and 6 colonists for TP. Strategy for mass building of cheap TPs and increasing them to level 6 produces good result - Guinea CoT, which should die, increased to almost 200 ducats revenue, so for 19 years of the session trade income was doubled, despite Porto used only half of merchants.

Such economy refuced any foreign intervention and we were pleased to see good relations with England. At the same time it was obvious that Portugal will be very weak country until get infra5. So governors were reached in the end of 1530, so Portugal can devote now income to the fleet, army, convertions, forts and colonies.

Venice suprised a bit by their desire to own Swiss and at the same time refucing to give coastline of Italy for Spain to let have common enemy. Portugal attitude to Venice is very friendly, but looks like Venice didn`t success in both classical venetian backstabing and getting good spanish friend. So after all FAL`s hands were free to attack OE, while Cheech used that to kick Venice. OE won the sea by Barbarossa, and besides built 6 wine refineries to celebrate the victory.

Austria by new monarch was another suprise. Selling 2 provinces for cheap to France in Frundsberg times, teching infra4 instead of LT14. That made Austria the toy between France and OE. And OE humilated them already, grabbing gold and another province. Well, such actions of Austrian monarch doesn`t look attractive for any foreign investments and efforts at all.

Portugal monarch was very busy, but it was kinda suprise Sweden low MP could make success vs mighty Poland of drunk Mulli, so they grabbed CoT finally. More suprise is England decision to stay catholic, though Engel advertises himself as good betrayal. Guess England will convert reformed soon.

After checking rules before the session we found Daniel settled in many golds, so big inflation hit expects in 1550 and 1600.

Ottoman AAR


The Sultan's heedless expansion occured again, much to my anxiety. Hungary was demolished by my master, Selim the Grim, after they had insulted him by sending him a smaller amount of gold than required for his birthday.
As a consquence the armies of the ottomans marched into the nearly defenceless land and made off with the riches of hungary. Alas the riches were not sufficient, turnips being the prize good of the Hungarians, and many ottoman soldiers were so annoyed that they killed the King and his nobles, causing the kingdom to implode and much of the land falling under the Sultan's protection.

Siebenburgen also wanted parts of the defunct Hungarians, and did so and laughed at the Sultan's wrath. Needless to say they were massacred and their heads stuck on rusty spikes. Austria also snuck in and grabbed some northern land, which could not be abided by the warriors of Allah.
The new Sultan, Suleyman with his Pasha's invaded the Austrian archduchy, which was also fighting some infidel rebels in the west. Victory was easy as the only engagement against Von Frundsburg ended in the austrian retreat across the Danube. Vienna fell early on and the Archduke soon surrendered Steirmark and Karpotak to the Ottoman armies, with much rejoicing.

In the east the Uzbek's accepted Ottoman rule and soon after the Khazaks and Bukhurans came under the Sultan's protection. Elsewhere missionaries continued to spread the Sunni faith, in the Causcaus and in the Balkans with much success.

Unfortunately the Spanish decided to strike at the Sublime Porte and attacked the Egyptian lands of the Sultan with the notorious plunderer Hernan Cortez. Sacking the centre of trade in Alexandria and setting fires all across Egypt Cortez became arrogant and headed further north trying to take Jerusalem perhaps. Nevertheless our best commander was sent to stop his rampage along with 30,000 of our best cavarly and 30,000 jannissaries. Clashing in Palestine Cortez's cavarlyless armies were crushed the pirate sent reeling back to Alexandria, hoping to escape by sea. However the mighty Ottoman fleet had already beaten the larger Spanish one and chased it around the med, alas Cortez escaped but a mighty victory had been won by Admiral Barbarossa, especially when he crushed the fleet sent to reinforce the beaten one, ensuring Spanish failure in this war. Peace was signed as Spain and Venice begged for it and the Sultan contined on his merry way, sampling the delights created by the new refineries as he did so.
