So I sent the Aztec's packing.

[chimosh]

I knew I was in for some punishment starting off as the duchy of Brittany. Knowing full well that a aztec invasion could end my days, but a challenging game is a good one.

I worked hard to give myself a good foothold to prepare for the invasion.

By the time the Aztecs came I held the following titles, in order of which I formed them.

Kingdom of Brittany
Kingdom of Wales
Kingdom of Ireland
Kingdom of Galica
Kingdom of Leon
Kingdom of Portugal
Kingdom of Castille
Kingdom of Jerusalem

Being a crusader I had very could standings with the church and a heap of piety for holy orders.

Then the Aztec's came.

I thought with everything I had gained and being strong allies with HRE and France, I might stand a chance if they invade me.

They invaded Scotland first, then the second wave hit England. I would have preferred they hit one of my lands since I had such powerful friends but I had to make do.

Both Scotland and England had to deal with over 100k worth of doomstacks. There was no way I could win. The most I could raise myself was around 50k and the Aztec's sitting on 200k in total..

But I decided to hit them first before they got a foothold on England and Scotland. I tired to help the north first, but the Aztec took that too quickly before I could rally all my men. Having Kingdoms split all over the place is hard to manage, especially sending forces all the way from Jerusalem.

I immediately went to the Aid of England.

I had a plan. I had 50k troops + I could raise all 3 holy orders giving me over 70k worth.

I setup my ships near the county of Isle of Man.

I used a 15k army sieging the Island of Man to bait the Aztec's into crossing the water to get to me - Giving me massive defensive bonus. Each time they hit, I would reinforce them with the rest of my army sitting in my ships. Using this technique seems like cheating, but no more than the AI being allowed to stack 100k troops for no attrition.... So one cheat counters the other.

Eventually my troops all died as the Aztec hit them constantly. But I did kill a good 70-100k worth in this first hit.

The Aztec's successfully took England.

I needed to lick my wounds, and let my levies refresh. So I was just sitting back waiting for the Aztec's to either hit Whales or Ireland. Then I could call HRE and france to help.

But this didn't happen

While waiting the pope called a crusade for England. WHICH at first made me so happy. I joined the war, but to my dismay it was myself and a few dukes plus the pope only. NO OTHER CATHOLIC RULER!!!@!@!.... is this a bug??? I thought that France or the HRE would join... but they never did.

Anyway I raised my army again - and after a long drawn out fight using careful moves, and placement of troops to snipe low amount of forces I ended up destroying the Aztec's army.

So the Aztec's Invaded in the year 1255

I sent them packing in 1265...

I thought this was to be a pretty good feat

Anyone else able to totally stop the Aztec's in their tracks?

You won because you were the King of Whales.

You destroyed their boats.

 

[Julyan]

Good job on beating the Aztecs but you better watch out for the Japanese. I hear they don't like whales.

 

[_krampe_]

and dolphins

Ontopic:
Sunset Invasion is the only DLC i did not buy

 

[unmerged(443268)]

love it or hate it, a few Japanese , and some native Americans and others too, eat whales. that's it.

At any rate, this is NOT story of CK2.

Whale is quite delicious if I may say.

 

[simast]

I eat whales for breakfast.

Where did you send the Aztec's packing, and what were you doing with their packing in the first place?

 

[Arokel]

I have been playing as the Sultanate of Rum recently and unless something changes the reconquista is on schedule to end 200 years early.

I am actually hoping they smash Western Europe (specifically Castille and France) into pieces.

 

[DominusNovus]

I'm calling it now: A Cetacean DLC. I for one, welcome our new aquatic overlords.

 

[Bad_Haggis]

I really hope you don't have gravelkind otherwise you may loose your whales

 

[DominusNovus]

Whales love gravel! Its delicious and nutrious, tastes just like Jonah.

I know guys it's been asked for several times, but still. Can I somehow start Aztec invasion in my pre-aztec saves? I've got pretty large muslim empire and no real foes in 1270. But the invasion just don't start and it's pretty boring to wait 100 more years for Timurids. Thanks in advance.

 

[Minodrin]

Why all the mockery? His feat sounds somewhat impressive to me. At the very least he had fun doing it.

Of course I don't know whether the aztecs are a horrible opponent, since I don't have that DLC, but a few 100k armies do sound powerful.

No, that would be the Aztecs' packing that you're talking about.
Or rather should be: "Where did you send the Aztec's packing, and what were you doing with HIS packing in the first place?"

 

[Oriflamme]

So after reading all the posts, I think I understand now. So the Aztecs invaded Scotland, but a certain king kindly fed his whales some gravel. Afterwards, the whales destroyed the Aztecs' boats, stole an anoymous Aztec's packing, and sent it to an unknown location. Afterwards, the whales were eaten by a Japanese-American man named Jonah in order to prevent the whales and their dolphin allies from conquering Europe.

Unless it is uncertain whether the Aztec is a man or a woman, and you're using 'their' as a single neuter pronoun, as is common usage.

Nope its not a bug. They rarely join if they have any other wars going. HRE and France most likely had a civil war or something going at the moment or they were cynical bastards.

 

[chimosh]

Minodrin The mockery is over a typo.

But thanks for your reasonable response

The Aztec's are powerful but not impossible like the Mongol's. They don't have a billion Horse archers.

 

[chimosh]

yeh.

Crusades never seem to ever be a threat at all, unless a strong Catholic player intervenes to help them.
