We started by sending a colonist to the cyclades, and converting that to Catholicism. We also decided to implement various reforms to free our serfs a bit more.
We decided to spend the first few years in peaceful times. Slowly watching our relations improve with our fellow catholic breathren.
September 9, 1419 England annexed Orleans.
The hundred years war ended.
July 1, 1420 : France accepted peace with England on the following terms : England pays 42$ in indemnities.
We joined a huge alliance!
Venice is allied with Papal States, Castile, Portugal, Trebizond, Albania and Cyprus. Castille is the honoured alliance leader.
June 5, 1421 : Venice joined the war on the same side as Papal States, Castile, Portugal, Trebizond, Albania and Cyprus in their war against Modena and Genoa.
As soon as we joined, we had to join the war too. But no sooner had we shipped our troops around italy to invade Corsica, than peace was made. So much for that then
September 24, 1422 : Castile declared war upon Granada.
September 25, 1422 : Venice joined the war on the same side as Castile, Portugal, Trebizond, Papal States, Albania and Cyprus in their war against Granada, Fez and Algiers.
We joined in. But didnt get to see any action =(
December 30, 1422 : Castile accepted peace with Granada on the following terms : Return to Status Quo.
bah!
April 5, 1423 : Francesco Foscarini will now rule our glorious nation!
w00t, a new king!
Am not happy with Venice's economy, must do something. Perhaps vassalise someone? Fight a war and take gold? Hmm..
July 1424
We declared war on Bosnia!
We wanted to expand our influence in the region and seeked to vassalise Bosnia (to increase our budget)
Decided not to call any allies in, as Bosnia's only ally, Ethiopia, wasn't considered a threat. At first we suffered a slight setback, army defeated by Bosnians, they even went on to besiege Dalmatia, forcing us to withdraw to Istria. Whereupon we took a loan, recruited some 6k mercenaries and trained another 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry.
January 1, 1425 : Carmagnola awaits your command in Istria.
w00t!A general just as we were about to set on the march to Dalmatia! What a great occurance at just the right time. Fate surely was smiling upon us.
February 6, 1425 : We have engaged hostile armies in Dalmatia.
February 11, 1425 : We won a battle against Bosnia in Dalmatia.
March 9, 1425 : We have engaged hostile armies in Bosnia.
March 13, 1425 : We won a battle against Bosnia in Bosnia.
March 13, 1425 : We have initiated a siege in Bosnia.
February 13, 1426 : We captured the province of Bosnia from Bosnia
not too shabby this general of ours eh?
March 26, 1426 : Bosnia accepted our generous peace offer.
Bosnia accepted to become our vassal, give us military access and pay us 475 gold coins as a tribute!
WOW!
We were stunned at how much money these bosnians had.
We sent a missionary to Corflu
*** ended here ***
We're in a good alliance, have upgraded all of our tax collectors to bailiff's. And vassalised Bosnia. Year and monthly income are still low for my taste. We might have to seek sombody else to vassilise or expand our territory. We decided to vassalise and not annex Bosnia because we did not want to deal with revolts from the local populace.
