Well what should I say to that kind of praise?
Thanks R.F.A, great to have your support and of course I will also celebrate the historic day when Sophia Hagia again will be in Christian hands

You are running short of time to conquer the World. What now? Persians, Russians, Moghuls. It seems according to some explorers that there are millions of people beyond India. Any plan to bring them to the true faith?
BTW, how many vassals do you have right now?
BTW, how many vassals do you have right now?
Folc de Cardona, a WC would not be possible because the Kingdom is too weak compared to Austria and France. Moreover I will try to concentrate on the real infidels, the Moslems. I have Siena, Venice, Armenia and Georgia as vassals .
R.F.A if it is possible to do that I will try to post but I have been playing ahead so can´t do it now because then I would reveal too much. I have posted a collection in an earlier post and I think those pictures are still there
Edit: some were gone, will try to post pictures if and when I take Constantinople

I think your AAR is great! This is my first post. Just recently bought the game and am still struggling through. I wish I could get so lucky with those missionaries.
Hey, when is there going to be a new update? You've been busily updating the TO AAR, but you've kind of been slow on this one...
Klink, thanks a lot. Well I was very lucky in this game compared to my other games as the Kingdom of Jerusalem. On the other hand you do have Arabic culture and a great king so the success chance usually is 50-60 %
Amric I know I have been a bit slow but I have three AARs running and now I am posting in the Free Company as well. Moreover I have been a bit active in Sashas Mat of the Eagle too. I have deliberately focused on the latest AAR (TO) but I will try to spread the activity more in the future. I will try to update later this week or on Monday/ Tuesday next week
Edit: something has happened to the pictures in this AAR. Will try to fix that).

Part XXXIII, “Gloria in excelsis Deo" - (1713-1715)
In 1714 renewed violence against Christian traders in Constantinople occurred. Repulsive scenes took place in Constantinople.
Unprotected traders were slowly beaten to death by violent mobs all over the city. Probably 400 traders were cowardly murdered in the city in one day. Amalric was fuming and declared war on the Ottoman Empire.
Amalric sent the entire army against the Ottomans to finally wipe out this home of evildoers from the earth. Since the Ottomans was much weakened after the numerous wars against the kingdom only a small army defended Constantinople.
Amalric´s men immediately massacred the tiny Moslem army that stood in their way and then went on to attack the Holy City with artillery, cavalry and infantry in a massive assault.
The city was attacked on all sides and a huge fleet consisting of 60 ships cut off all supplies. The Christians attacked bravely without regard to their own lives since this was a holy city worth dying for. The Turks who were in the city, barbarous hordes all of them, desperately fought on the walls and repelled the first assault.
Many Christians died horrible deaths but new soldiers stepped forward and replaced the fallen ones. The artillery hammered day and night and bloodthirsty knights yearningly awaited a breach in the wall. Finally Amalric, protected by divine might, entered the city as a part of the wall succumbed to the intense bombardment.
He was accompanied with his most powerful knights and as he entered the Turks inside gathered to deliver battle. Amalric armed on all sides with the sign of the cross rushed upon them violently and overcame them in a quick skirmish. The Ottomans turned in flight, but most of them were killed when they tried to escape.
However they came back again, reinforced by others and joined by civilians, joyfully singing and praising the devil. A new battle commenced but again many Turks were left in the streets with their heads cut off at the hands of Amalric´s men. In the end the Ottomans decided to flee for their lives chased by wild knights who joyfully massacred all Moslems they encountered, while singing and drinking wine.
Amalric assembled his men and nobody in the whole world had ever counted so great an army of Christ before. Knights, counts, barons, peasants, baptized Arabs, all joined by the common wish to clean the Holy City and restore it to God.
After the initial defeats the Turks decided to surrender and many were immediately cut to pieces in the streets. The survivors were put in cages like animals. Many of the Christians had received martyrdom, and, glad and rejoicing, they had given back their souls to God. Hence the Christians treated the prisoners very harshly indeed.
Amalric entered the Sultans palace and gave the captured Sultan a blow that cut off his head. The Ottoman Empire was no more. Finally the Ottoman Empire, a shadow of a shadow had ceased to exist.
The evil empire has ceased to exist. Hagia Sophia is back in Christian hands

This was a huge victory for Christianity and this also meant that Amalric immediately proclaimed himself as Roman Emperor of the Third Roman Empire. He turned Hagia Sophia into a church again and invited the Pope to the opening ceremony there.
It was a truly solemn moment when the Pope entered the old church and officially installed Amalric as Emperor of the new Roman Empire. When the ceremony was over the old king Amalric was left alone according to his own wishes. He knelt before the altar and began to say his prayers as he had learnt them:
"Avenge Lord our blood which has been shed for Thee, who are blessed and praiseworthy forever and ever. May we continue to struggle in Christian battle lines, most invincible lines, struggle, that we may continue to assault infidels wherever we can find them and may we all deem it a beautiful thing to die for You in the land in which You died for us. Amen."
Amalric stayed there until the morning without moving and, as far as anyone could tell, without ceasing to pray to our Lord. When his men later found him before the altar he was dead.
When Amalric died, all the princes of the Kingdom assembled. All were in agreement as to what they wanted and his son Amalric II was anointed and crowned solemnly and in the usual fashion in the Church of the Lord's Sepulcher four months after his father's death.
To honour the Christians who gave their lives, honour Amalric and the new Roman Empire Amalric II decided to put up enormous sports meeting all over the city where prisoners had to fight each other and wild animals that were brought in from Africa. The ones that survived were sold as slaves. Finally a dream had come true, Constantinople was again in Christian hands.

"This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it". This beautiful psalm was created for the moment. Turn your eyes to the Persians and make them decide between the Truth and the Devil.
Anibal thanks, yes they did attack me many times and tried to wipe out the Kingdom so it was great to finally be able to bury them.
R.F.A thanks, I will not forget those beautiful words because there are many infidels left in the world.
Amric thanks, sorry to hear about your father.
Languish, welcome back, an old crusader is always appreciated here, thanks for your support, you were among the first to post comments here, very encouraging.
Folc de Cardona, thanks, that was beautiful. The Persians are the strongest Moslem country now and they did declare war before so they should be prepared for a little visit soon…
Edit: since all old pictures are gone I will adjust the AAR a bit and take away old text referring to pictures. However there will be some room for new ones later on.
