Chapter 3: Let's butter up our new neighbour
Gwalior is cooking, I need to improve relations or else a coalition will form if I annex them
As it is now, I can't even piss in the direction of anything in India, or entire India will stomp me
Ok, then we go for SUNNI clay now
Baluchistan was attacked.
*STOMP*
See why?
I used 'grant generalship' from noble estate, to get 40 army tradition general.
I got a 6 shock general
Don't look at me, I SWEAR I didn't save scum or anything
They made some new troops, but they got wiped when I arrived in their second fort.
I annexed Gwalior before I realized I was close to taking this new Influence idea
Jangladesh now gets less aggressive expansion modifier for its conquests. Sounds good.
After reading the AAR @Path wrote on Theodoro, I got convinced that influence is the best idea group to take FIRST.
Baluchistan got full annexed.
Because why not
Timurids and small some small hindu nations joined coalition against Jangladesh.
I decide to do a pre-emptive strike against this coalition. My ally Jaunpur gets called in, because I need a meatshield against these SUPERIOR numbers.
I wish to note one thing that annoys me greatly: It plainly says in this tooltip that Timurids will be a Co-Belligerent.
But in fact they are not.
GRMPF
I'm beginning to understand why @TheMeInTeam Always complains about such misleading tooltips...
Oh well. We got a war to fight now!
Let's dance, Timurids
Note that Jaunpur didn't want to help versus Timurids. Otherwise I would have declared on Timurids directly.
And I wanted to make sure the coalition didn't grow any bigger!
Jangladesh wants ticking war score from the wargoal. This isn't a coalition war, so I got to occupy the province I declared for to get ticking warscore..
Aka Katmandu.
Jaunpur is doing its job: playing meatshield versus the Timurids
I siege up all the east nations first. Assam capital fell and they got kicked out of the war. Then I stomped that stack on Katmandu.
Nothing like tricking superior number army into attacking in mountains
BYE Timurids
Ardalan is a vassal of the Ottomans. The Ottomans declare over a claim/core of them.
Sure, go ahead. Makes it easier for me occupy stuff in Timurid turf
Hmm... The Ottomans.
You can be of use. Maybe.
OUT OF MY WAY
I want to make sure I occupy their capital and the fort NEAR it before the Ottomans can do anything.
My intent never was to take Katmandu or Tirhut.
My intent was THIS.
If you think "HUH?" now...
...then now you will probably get it.
THIS-IS-PERSIA!
And that lone province I took allows me to fabricate on Yarkand
Persia has a ton of cores around the place. Including entire Tabarestan and Shirvan.
Tabarastan has NO allies.
OK, let's conquer our favourite fishing spot, the Caspian sea area!!
Hmm, their army is gone. Somehow it got black flagged on Timurid turf.
"Who me? Invading? NAH, I'm here to FISH!"
"OK" said general Sahriyar, and moved to their mountains to lose black flag.
Fishing? Yeah right...
*STOMP*
Capital mistake, general Shahriyar
And now I'll siege your capital
They got full annexed.
The ruler of Persia assured me there is a core of them to the northwest, but all I can see is this weird fog
So I grant the eastern province to Persia, and assign all my soldiers to wave palm branches around, until the fog disperses.
Whaddayaknow, it worked
"Hi Shirvan! Oh, you have no allies! How convenient!"
"Can I come in to explore your capital fishing grounds??"
"No?"
"Ok, then I'll bring my army to your doorstep!!"
CHAAARGE!!
Sure is foggy around here...
*STOMP*
Our ruler took the 'explore the holy fishing grounds' mission, and sailed a small skiff into these misty waters.
The Caspian sea gave away its secrets
Jangladesh is now forever blessed with manpower and army bonuses, until 1821!
"Oh hi there Armenia!"
"Yeah, it's me, Jangladesh."
"Say what? You don't know about me? Oh, but I want to get to know YOU for sure! Especially because you have no allies!"
"I love nations with no allies, you see."
