Chapter 26: The Sack of Rome
A look at the map shows that, unsurprisingly, the revolt is mainly whiny Germans and Italians. It's almost like they've never met the Turkish armies.
The middle east isn't so bad. There are also a smidgen of rebels in Africa - right next to my armies.
March 7, 1885: The Danes sue for peace, giving me my first foothold in the Americas. This leaves the Danes with only their home region.
October: The locals send out a welcoming party to their Ottoman overlords. There's also one in Greenland and one in Iceland.
December 31: We figure out how to create streamers. There was some confusion with the illiterate dockworkers - the first attempt had them using clothes irons on the hull. Apparently, some ex-Sergeant was explaining "steamers" to them. With that sorted out, we start on iron steamers, with explicit instructions that no clothes irons are to be involved.
March 23, 1886: The truce with the Pope ends, and peace is completely unnatural. As is required in all AARs of an Islamic country....
April 1: Here's a look at my budget. I have no idea why I took this screenshot, but it must be important. As you can see, Trinket Pensions are a large amount of my budget. God help me if they get more.
April 21: Typical liberals. No sense of timing whatsoever. This is barely a speedbump. In one particularly amusing case, 3000 Jacobins rise up in the same province as 36000 guards.
June: Portugal annexes Liberia. In response...
They need to be "protected".
September 1: We don't have enough armies around for an overwhelming attack, but I was rather hoping to have some sort of advantage here...
I'd accuse the Austrians of helping them, but they were actually competent.
More partying!
October 7: Rome is ours! Celebration is in order:
This will result in their annexation...
October 25: Transylvanian Nationalists revolt. Our armies grab some stakes and resolve the problem.
March 19. 1887: Nothing important happens.
Here's an updated world map:
