Help!

The evil Persian Shah is demanding Astrakhan from me. I can't stop him by myself. I think we need a 17th century Christian crusade against the evil heathen Persians.

Do not fight for Gold or Power fight for GOD! Russia may not follow the standard Christian teachings but we d believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ and we call in His name a Holy Crusade against Persia.

Please save the Great Christian Empire of the Rus.:)

Persian response to unstable Russia

I, the great Shah, ruler of many lands and many peoples, do not tolerate your petty pleas and send the heads of your ambassadors back to you in baskets. Show yourself on the battlefield and prove yourself worthy of governing your people. As for Astrakhan i myself was born there and it is therefore my birthright.

the most wise and most generous one, the Great Shah.:cool:

The AAR has been updated- I'm sorry about the size of the pictures, the best graphics editing program I have is paint. :(

Anyway, Olibares has yet to make up the kings minds regarding a crusade. Spain is still sufferering the effects of State bankruptcy, but expects to rebound soon. In the words of Spain's treasurer Paulo de Keatingo,

"This is the bankruptcy that Spain had to have."

Europe in 1629

Comparison of nations scaled by income. Spain and Portugal lead, followed by France and Persia. Despite massive size, Austria is rather poor.

Wow... Persia is big... And OE kinda small... how did that happen?

Official Persian media release

Persia was a mighty empire when i seized control two sessions ago. Under my guidance the economy and stability quickly rebounded and the Persian war machine then marched into and gained valuable provinces from the Mughal Empire.
A few years later a war erupted with Tibet and they were subsequently squashed and more provinces gained. News was then received from abroad that the hated Turks were in political instability and that rebel uprisings were a common event.
Encouraged by the Austrian Emperor in secret communications, I declared war and my loyal troops quickly marched across the border. After a few minor setbacks in the campaign the tide turned in my favour and the Turks grew weary of the war ( I suspect there were many more rebel uprisings due to the rivers of blood spilt ).
Peace was signed with Syria, Jordan, Medina, Yeman, Aden, Kurdistan and Arabia absorbed into my territory. In turn, the local Turkish inhabitants were transported to the barren lands of Nepal and sentenced to hard labour for the rest of their miserable lives and the glory of the Persian feats echoed throughout every household on the planet.

the victorious and humble Persian Shah :cool:

TOP AAR Gjerg Kastrioti, love the bit about Pauli de Keatingo and the bankruptcy Spain had to have, absolutely hilarious, great job. :p


:D Glad you liked it Professor. I wonder if any other well known sound bytes will make it in...

"By 1690, No Spanish Province will live..."

Hmm, maybe not. Well then..

"Well may we say, God save the King. Because nothing will save, the Lord Protector."

"Portugal is Spain's deputy sherriff..."


Well, that can wait. Anyway, I will almost certainly need a sub for the next session, which will be Dec 20th won't it? I'm leaving for Adelaide that day to see the rellies, so I probably won't be able to play that night, and will need a sub.

I really should get around to updating my other AAR.

Oh yes, we may need to edit Turenne's start date to 1630, and amend his death date to 1675. Peter Ebbesen's scenario hasn't been updated from when this bug was fixed.
