Sorry guys. Got back to my parent's house. Forgot about getting an update up. One'll be up soon.
Chapter Nintendo 64
King Unuist The Second
The only threat left on the continent was at liege. There, French forces were sieging back a captured by.... who? No one knows who sieged it, but it is said that whoever did did so under Unuist's banner? Ghosts? Cathar rebels? Enemies of the French king? Either way, they were still a threat, as after liege fell the French would regroup and fight back Unuist, something he would not let happen.
The battle raged for days. The battle could have went either ways. French armies were coming to reinforce the French in days. Unuist knew that he needed to crush the French quickly, lest he beset on both sides by equal forces. After the tenth day, he launched a daring strike at the French, breaking their lines and slaying anything in his path. As the reinforces arrive, they met a prepared force, who had already beaten their comrades and were chasing them off.
Both forces were defeated. In the midst of the final fight, the duke of Luxembourg was captured. After the battle, he was put in the wooden cage with the duke of Dauphine. Men at this point started calling the cage "The Ducal Palace" because of the prisoner's inside.
Days later, a messenger alive. The man braved the sea and French countryside to deliver a letter to him.
Luitgard had given birth. A girl, which she named Marie. She said she had a dream before she went in labor. That the lord came to her, telling her that their child was blessed, and that her name was Marie. And that is why she named her such.
(And blessed she is!)
Days later, Unuist was in Brabant fighting the remainder of the French forces.
The battle was one and once again, another duke was captured. He was also put into The Ducal Palace.
Unuist noticed that Usabail was not eating as much as them. She said that she was giving large portions of her meals to the men and peasants, saying that she shouldn't eat so much when others were eating so little. Unuist approved of her temperance.
Back at home, a plan approved by Unuist was going off without a hitch.
Weeks ago, Unuist gave sanction to raid and destroy his cousin's warehouse and dockyard. He did so in order for him to assert hiss power over him, a sort of show of force to solidify his rule. Of course his kinsman was mad, but he wasn't piping up as much, knowing that his words and actions against Unuist would carry hefty consequences.
Unuist was now in Reims, a county that would soon be under his control. He set siege to the castle there, a castle soon to be his. It was funny. Destroying this castle in order to own it. He wondered about the weird system he lived in, about the structure and the 'rules'. It was all weird really, but it was the weird that he had to live with. So he set on with sieging the castle.
The castle had just fell when he heard that the French were organizing one last army to throw at them. The biggest chunk was marching through Vermandios. So Unuist went and met them.
To Unuist, it was not a big battle. But it turned out to be the most important in the war The battle that made the French king realize that there was no hope left in winning. Days later, a letter of surrender arrived to Unuist. Days later, the French King arrived in Vermandios, his capital, to agree to the terms of surrender. The day after, the war was over.
Unuist had won.

Look at all the pretty borders! Looks like the town in Belgian/Dutch border where the borders are weird. Now lets mop up rest of the lands to the Cathar dominion.

My eyes! Francia had created an horrific kingdom we took over. Then there is Franconia, independent far away from where it is supposed to be.
We have to pretty up the borders soon.

Oh that bordergore...it hurts my eyes.
BTW, did we get a whole kingdom? If so, how?
Also, are we on True Cognatic Succession yet?

Not the whole de Jude kingdom. Just the territory held under it and the title itself. And yes, it is horrifying
I brought the save with me, so expect updates this Thanksgiving!

I guess it has something to do with tricking Indians with glass pearls or something. Or eating their Turkey.
Eh? Why would Indians be tricked by glass pearls? And why did someone eat an Indian turkey?
EDIT: Is it Indians from India or by Indian do you mean native american?
Y'know. Indians! The people of mistaken identity! Those Indians.
And we get together, party, hang with family, and eat our hearts out.
Sorry guys. No update tonight. Not up for it tonight. I'm really not in the mood for it. If you pay attention to US news, you would know about what happened in FErguson. I'm incredibly angry about it right now and need the rest of the night to calm my jets.
I'll get an update tomorrow when my mind is rested. Sorry...

Not a matter to be included in our discussion here, I think, unless you want to risk a closing of the thread. I've seen AAR threads being closed because of derailing. So lets concentrate on the updates. I do acknowledge that we all have life outside playing video games but lets try to keep the updates rolling in a reasonable fashion. I mean that is a way to keep people actually interested in the campaign and watching it. Don't be fooled by the views and most of the replies are by the persons involved in the AAR and not by viewers. But yes lets get back to the AAR.
Yes. Yes. Very much so. Which is why I forced myself awake to start editing and posting the next update. Been a distracting day yesterday. Family and other things kept me 'busy'. But I'm gonna be doing it now to keep this thing moving.
Got it, got it, it's ok. That's what I mean, so far Misiame has been posting last minute. Today is the date for a new update, If Misiame woń't post in 8 hours we have to move on. I really want to get this running. I hope you will understand.
