War of Unification (July 1, 1511 - April 16, 1515)
July 1511
---------
Today is the day, July 1, 1511. I have decided to declare war upon England. Many of the nobles are blatanly protesting this calling me a hipocrite because of what I have said about the wars in the rest of Europe currently being waged. I do understand them, but this war I feel cannot be stopped. England is at its most vulnerable spot it has been in a long time and Eire is now completely fortified. Eire shall be united under our rule before this war is over.
Mobilizing immidatly, we move our troops south in England proper to Midlands and lay seige to the town there while my troops in Eire head for Meath. When we arrive in Meath however, we find our forces are too small to completely surround the city and so cannot lay seige to it. Because of this, I have reluctantly decided to take out yet another loan. I hope this is the last. I do atleast use this sudden influx of money to recruit more troops throughout all of Eire though.
August 1511
-----------
We lost our first battle in the Bantry Bay. It is sad, but not unexpected. Even with the new technologies it seems my captains cannot fight well.
Yorkshire has been besieged by England. I hope my army in Milands will finish their seige soon or we may loose Yorkshire to the English.
Crimea has decided to end its war with Poland-Lithuania after paying them 45 duncats. I figure Poland-Lithuania had better things to do and that is why they did not press for more.
November 1511
-------------
My fleet sent to patrol the coast of England proper has finished and found little sign of troops. This is great news! I order them to join the fleet in Eire for use later in this war, however, an English fleet spots us on our leaving and attacks us. We are utterly defeated.
Its is the 15th of November and I have word that Teutonic Order has defeated Pskov and forced them to pay 223 duncats. A descent, but not major, blow to Pskov.
December 1511
-------------
Our fleet was chased, but rather than risk loosing what little we had left of it, we retreated immideatly from England.
January 1512
------------
Word has come to me that we have once again succeeded in our two 5-year missions! With this joyous news I immediatly proclaim 3 new missions. First, I shall continue to keep Lancashire, second I shall also conquer Midlands before this war is over and third, I shall have a royal marriage with Hectivia. With that said I immediatly send my youngest sister to Hectivia asking for a marriage with one of their sons. They flat out refuse me! I can't believe that, but oh well, I can't force them.
Another spot of great news comes to me this month. It seems the Midlands our now ours! Our goal is one step closer. I do not let my troops sit idly though for there is still a threat to Yorkshire.
February 1512
-------------
Seems one of those disatified nobles has decided to take matters into his own hands and has started an uprising in Ulster. Right now I am too busy to worry with it and their force is patheric so they can wait to be dealt with.
Our forces also arrive in Yorkshire where slightly outnumbered we crush them. I immediatly send them chasing after the enemy to Lincoln.
March 1512
----------
Oh! This is terrible! Our navy in Bantray Bay has been wiped out! How could this be! I cannot believe this! What could have happed to have done this? What does this mean? I have decided to have an extra helping of wiskey tonight.
Well it seems the destruction of our fleet although bad, was not fatal. Our forces in Licoln caught up with the enemy and have decimated their forces. With so few remaining, they leave off and begin a seige of Lincoln.
May 1512
--------
More forces have arrived in Licoln to aid with this siege. Soon we may be able to finish them off!
It is a fine day today! Meath has been captured from England! While I cheer I cannot tally for I have a rouge noble to deal with as I head north to Ulster. I also ask for peace with England dor the two provinces to see what they say, but I knew already what the answer would be, no. So the war continues.
Hungary has had to accept peace with Turkey on the 23rd after paying 56 duncats. I believe Turkey decided not to press on too long with all the enimes it now has.
Alas, it is a sad day for our alliance as Hectivia has had to pay 250 duncats to Navara. While this is bad news for Hectivia's finaces, Navara still cannot do much against me as they still have the giant France to their north.
August 1512
-----------
Once again I try for a marriage between Scottland and Hectivia and to my surpise it is accepted! Now all we need to do is hold onto this marriage for atleast the next 5 years.
September 1512
--------------
We have recaptured Ulster. Now while I wait for what's left of our Fleet to arrive in the Irish Sea I have the rouge noble executed for treason.
September 20th is a blow to our alliance. Bohemia has been able without Austria's help defeat Thuringen. Not only did they defeat them, Thuringen was forcefully annexed by Bohemia. Normally I would be cheering such a country in its ourcoming of its would-be agreessor, but normally those countries are not at war with me.
October 1512
------------
The beggining of this month shows Crimea accepting peace with Georgia after Georgia pays 238 duncats.
Licoln falls in the middle of the month and England immeditaly offers me it and Midlands, but I haveto refuse for it lacks the most essential aspect of this war, Meath. I started this war to unite Eire under Scottish rule and so I reject it and send my troops to Bristol.
Seems Bohemia just keeps on ticking. After their annexation of Thuringen, Bohemia has won a small, if potentially helpful victory over Bavaria. Bavaria was forced to pay 50 duncats and though while small, it does show this vassal nation is capable of defending itself.
November 1512
-------------
We have begun our seige on Bristol. Hopefully the English will listen soon, though the English our stubborn.
My troops have begun also arrived in mainland England, however they are small in number and I'll wait for more to cross over before moving them elsewhere.
December 20, 1512
-----------------
Another blow to our alliance. Milan has been forced to accept peace with Austria after paying 138 duncats. This is not good, however, they our busy with Turkey and its allies and I hope they leave us alone.
January 1513
------------
I have decided with my failing health to give the throne to my son, James V and live the remaining few months of my life in peace.
[End Dialogue for James IV]
Now I, King James V of Scottland, must continue his dream, the eventual unification of the two isles under Scottish rule. While my father may have settled for a unified Eire and the Midlands, I cannot. I declare that England shall fall in this war, althoguh our ally France may have Calais if they wish though (and they can take it). Although my father did not see his dreams, I know he shall not be forgotten in our legends for he reclaimed our anscestrol homelands and conquered the nation of Eire. I do have a war to attend to however and I shall begin by sending out a message to my provinces to hire more men for while England may be hurt by our taking of 3 porinves, it is by no means defeated.
The 5th of this month sees the Wallachia forcing peace on Venice after paying 97 duncats.
Seems England has finally found my fleet and has gone to battle. I hope we can win or atleast stall them long enough to get some more of my troops across.
February 1513
-------------
My first battle since taking the throne and it is a defeat. I cannot believe this! I think I shall spend some time out on the target range today.
Sweden and Russia have returned to Status Quo as of the 20th of this month. Yet another war over with. Seems the wars that plauged the latter part of my father's reign are dying down.
Ouch! Another win for Austria against us as Hectivia is once again forced to shell out more money on the 22nd. This time 130 duncats.
March 16, 1513
--------------
Ryazan has now become a vassal of Russia. Seems Russia decided not to press for more with Sweden in order to get this vassalization.
May 1513
--------
With my fleet requiped, I send them out to the Irish Sea to finish ferrying our troops across.
England has offered peace after I captured Bristol, but with no troops on its shores I declined. England shall be under Scottish rule! Navara also demmanded I pay them to end the war with them, but since neither myself nor my father have had any trouble with them I decline laughing in their face.
With the conquest of Bristol I move on now to Anglia and the captiol of England. If I can capture it, it will surely mean my eventual victory.
I also move my forces south to Wales so I can begin beseiging that province. Victory is within my grasp! Maybe not this year, but next year for sure!
June 1513
---------
After defeating the pathetic remnats of the once mighty English army, I lay seige to London.
Cardiff in Wales is also under a seige. Soon all of England will be under our control.
July 1513
---------
The last of our troops in Eire are across and are now on their way south to aid in the seige with Candiff.
August 10, 1513
---------------
I recieved a report today that my father died in his bed peacefully. I am glad to hear his final days were so. I, along with my fellow Scotts will miss him, but I must continue this war. I do however temporarily give control to my second-in-command while I visit his funeral since we are clearly winning this war I believe I can afford to do so.
November 1513
-------------
News has come to me that Poland-Lithuania has scored a major vicotory against on the 7th of this month Turkey aquiring Georgia and Antolia.
Another victory for Scottland! Anglia is now under our control! London has been captured! I can imagine the shock on the Henry VIII's face, Again they offer peace, but we decline knowing they are now at our mercy. Our forces take little time to rest as they moce south to Kent.
December 1513
-------------
As of the 3rd, Georgia must pay 131 duncats to Hafsid Empire to end its war. It seems Turkey and its allies have had a mixed bag of wins and losses.
We have no begun our seige upon Kent. 5 more provinces and England is ours!
January 10, 1514
----------------
Spain has won a great victory for Christianity. It has forced Hafsid Empire to pay 250 duncats and give them Tripolitania.
January 17, 1514
----------------
Persia must now give up the territory of Azeradzjan to Crimea.
March 1514
----------
England offer peace again, this time only offer 2 provinces. Are they insane? They are on the brink of disaster and offer us even less than before!
May 1514
--------
I receive word from my trade advisor that our effencency at trading has increased to the point that we can now have monoplies in areas. While this has little importance now, I know as soon as this war is over it will be of great use.
June 1514
---------
More forces arrive to aid in the seige at Wales. Hopefully it will be over soon, though I forsee prolonging this war for another year.
Again, England demands peace for even less. I am convinced our sacking of London has caused King Henry to go insane.
July 1514
---------
It seems Calais has finally been captured by France. It took them long enough. Well if they do accpt peace with England for it in the short run it is for the better of our nation as I know many European nations will not be happy with this great shift in power for us.
August 13, 1514
---------------
Golden Horde has declared war upon Ryazan with the aid of Astrakhan. Of course Russia comes to their aid and Pskov does also.
September 1514
--------------
After capturing Kent, England offers a puny peace settlement which we obviously reject. Navara also demands money to settle the war with them which still seeing them naught ever I once again laugh at the diplomats face and this time send them packing immediatly. The nerve! Asking for money when they've done nothing to us!
October 1514
------------
The reformation of the navy under my father's control has finally paid off with a boost in their effeciency [434 duncat increase].
Wessex now comes under our seige. Only 2 provinces are left still controlled by England.
Seems our navy was not the only thing being reformed. I have received word that a heretic by the name Martin Luthar has nailed grievences to a church wall somewhere within the Holy Roman Empire on October 31 of all days! I cannot believe this could be happening! I only pray these heretics do not spread their false beliefs within Scottland.
November 1514
-------------
England again offer peace, atleast this time they were reasonable and offer 3 provinces, but still I had to refuse.
For all their battles seems Austria and Turkey merely returned to Status Quo as of the 10thG. I guess the lack of a continued English force to help them Austria couldn't do much.
February 1515
-------------
I am tiring of these constant peace offers from England. Now if they offered all of England that would be another story.
March 25, 1515
--------------
Turkey has won a dual-front war. Claiming Kosovo from Venice and reclaiming Syria from Persia.
April 1515
----------
With fresh troops in Wales, we attempt an assult, but ultimatly fail after nearly a month of fighting.
As of the 2nd, Georgia no longer exists. It is now a part of Turkey. It seems Turkey has had a recent spout of power from its Status Quo settlement with Austria.
Golden Horde has lost to Russia and as of the 22nd paid a token 19 duncats and gave them Kujbyschew.
May 1515
--------
Seems my assult was unessary. Late this month Candiff fell and we control Wales. Ah, well. I now move my troops to Cornwall and the last province on our list.
Wow! This is a shock! Seems Navara has forced France to pay 114 duncats to end the war between them and as of the 26th, France accepted!
June 1515
---------
My naval advisor has sent me a report about his discovery of a better cannonball to be used on our ships. He notes that they were able to finish research ahead of scedule do to my successful reformation of the navy.
July 1515
---------
Do to this constant war, I had to extend those frivolous loans my father took out 5 years ago. This is not good.
Cornwall is now being besieged. The last province of England. Now England shall soon be under Scottish rule.
August 1515
-----------
Seems England finally put up some resistance on the field. These fresh troops however were hardly resistance. Still England though with this show of force I'd accewpt their latest peace offer.
September 1515
--------------
Seems those troops have decided to lay seige to Licoln. Damn. Can't have the recaptuing it before I conquer the rest of England. Still I believe I'm safe so no major worry yet.
October 1515
------------
Wessex is now under my control. All that remains is Cornwall. Rather than route the English in Licoln I have decided to have the troops in Wessex aid me in Cornwall.
November 1515
-------------
After the troops arrive in Cornwall I attempt an assult against the city, but again, I am thwarted. Perhaps next time I shall be luckier.
December 1515
-------------
Hearing reports that the seige against Licoln is not going in our facor, I dispact some of the troops to deal with them now rather than have this war prolonged even more.
February 1516
-------------
The enemy seige on Licoln was broken by our forces. With that I am sure our seige in Cornwall will end before any new threat arrives.
Another defeat for our side. This time Hectivia had to pay 250 duncats to Cologne on the 15th. Seems like Hectivia has taken the brunt of peace settlements so far.
March 10, 1515
--------------
Finally a victory for our side! France forced Austria to give up Franche Corte.
March 30, 1515
--------------
Again I am shocked. France has won another war, this time against the Hafsid Empire. I vauguely recall them going to war against them during my father's reign. Seems that's why France hasn't been doing so well against England and her allies. They sent their forces their to annex them!
April 16, 1515
--------------
Today shall be a day remembver in Scottland for all time. For today is the day we defeated England and I have united the 2 islands under Scottish rule. I have declared a week of celebration and this day a national holiday to be remembered. England also got what it wanted Calais back from England.
June 1515
---------
Bohemia has demanded payment for a peace settlement. Rather than accept it, I'll wait it out till a white peace can be settled hopefully.

Wessex is now under my control. All that remains is Cornwall. Rather than route the English in Licoln I have decided to have the troops in Wessex aid me in Cornwall.
November 1515
-------------
After the troops arrive in Cornwall I attempt an assult against the city, but again, I am thwarted. Perhaps next time I shall be luckier.
December 1515
-------------
Hearing reports that the seige against Licoln is not going in our facor, I dispact some of the troops to deal with them now rather than have this war prolonged even more.
February 1516
-------------
The enemy seige on Licoln was broken by our forces. With that I am sure our seige in Cornwall will end before any new threat arrives.
Another defeat for our side. This time Hectivia had to pay 250 duncats to Cologne on the 15th. Seems like Hectivia has taken the brunt of peace settlements so far.
March 10, 1515
--------------
Finally a victory for our side! France forced Austria to give up Franche Corte.
March 30, 1515
--------------
Again I am shocked. France has won another war, this time against the Hafsid Empire. I vauguely recall them going to war against them during my father's reign. Seems that's why France hasn't been doing so well against England and her allies. They sent their forces their to annex them!
April 16, 1515
--------------
Today shall be a day remembver in Scottland for all time. For today is the day we defeated England and I have united the 2 islands under Scottish rule. I have declared a week of celebration and this day a national holiday to be remembered. England also got what it wanted Calais back from England.
June 1515
---------
Bohemia has demanded payment for a peace settlement. Rather than accept it, I'll wait it out till a white peace can be settled hopefully.
I am unsure how to post the image on this forum, but here's the link:
