>>48586695
Yeah, i keep getting b& for risk. seems like they are popping up on /int/ and /qst/

The God fearing Catholics of Iberia will no longer tolerate the suffering caused by the Muslim invaders in these lands. For the safety of all Europe we will rally and push them out.

Attack the Moors of Iberia and drive them out! Reconquista!

Your already declaring War on your own cousin when there are Muslims still in Iberia? Traitorous Dog! There isn't a pit in hell low enough for Iscariots such as yourself.

>>48586811
King Brandon of Brandenburg invokes his ancestor's claim over Saxony, and marshalls his men to retake his rightful inheritance.

>>48586870
No my brother, I seek to flank the godless horde!
(seriously, you joined as I posted. Also I now have an "official" move, by replying to the Map)

>>48586914
Still you attack our cousin in Portugal, A christian Sovereign. The Muslims to your south are just as lazy and inbred and inept as those who border the innocent Christians of Portugal

Europe explodes in conflict. The King of Brandenburg opens up his campaign season in Saxony. The 2 Lords of Iberia fall upon the Moorish hordes, sparing none. The Byzantines begin to expand in Asia Minor. The French begin the subjugation of Toulouse.

>>48586957
France continues its assault on Toulouse.

>>48586992
The rules are suspended on this map, but if you are familiar with MER you can invoke certain ones...

ALL PLAYERS:
Eliminating a faction gives you a +1. if you do not mark it in Sig i wont count it. If i forget to count a marked one, remind me and you will be credited.

>>48586957
I take the last vestiges of the Muslims in Iberia. If my victory is decisive, then I will command my two sons to visit the courts of Navvaro and Aragorn, to request the vassalhood of those nations to my own along with a request of marriage of their daughters to my sons. May the bloodlines of Christian Spain flow strong through it's Nobility for a thousand generations.

The marriage offer is just a fluffy RP attack role.

Castille>Moors>Navarro/Aragorn

>>48586992
Sympathisers I say.
(also pretty sure people in the same religion can fight, for what should be obvious reasons)

>>48587007
Put your country in your Sig pls...

??

>>48586992
Iberia doesn't count as an empire initially like HRE or the Byzantines do. I think it can be made one later by complete Iberian controal

>>48586957
Though his campaigning lacks the historic flair of his forebear, Brandon II is still valiant enough to lead his forces from the front as the march across the borders of Saxony, securing towns and castles for the Kingdom of Brandenburg.

>>48587083
Kinda looks like all your luck got used up in the 0 years war game. Shame. Slow and steady wins the race I guess.

The Moors have been expelled from Southern Iberia by the forces of Leon.

Castillian forces march on Navarre and Aragon, and Navarre is subsumed.

Brandenburg and the Ottomans continue their investments of Saxony and Turkey respectively.

The French continue their campaign of fratricide in Provence.

>>48587105
Brandon II is an incompetent child who romanticises the ancestor he was named after, I suppose.

>>48587133
The Armenians in Turkey have shown a bit of aggression towards their Byzantine masters. Justinian I of Byzantium declares war on them. And sends a great army to ambush them and destroy them. Threat Cyprus, but do not attack yet.

>>48587133
France wheels and attacks the occupying English investing the North Coast.

>>48587105
Your Grace, as monarchs of high cultures, i assume we can come to some sort of understanding about or potential borders. Tell me, is your Western cousin as dangerous as the minstrels sing?

>>48587161
Spill into murdering the folk in Cyprus as they have soldiers (tiles) that I can use in battle. Also
*threaten Cyprus

>>48587133
Aragorn must be brought under Castilian unity as well. Even after conquest it's king will be an honored Duke and free to take more control of his realm on request, and his daughters shall become the esteemed brides of my sons if it is his will. If the battle is quick and bloodless then the troops must turn their attention to the Moorish islands in the Mediterranean.

Castille > Aragon

>>48587133
After sustaining a minor flesh-wound in one of the border skirmishes with the forces of Saxony, Brandon II quits the field, removing his micromanaging, overly-idealistic oversight from the campaign.

His generals hope to make better progress without the young monarch breathing down their necks and dictating their every move.

>>48587036
considers palindromedy of my move
My brother in Christ, can you forgive my march through Portugal?
It was purely to produce an unexpected angle of attack that the unwashed moors would never expect - they trusted the idleness Portuguese.
Can we put aside our differences and be allies in Iberian Christendom?

>>48587162
His excuses for the conquest of Portugal are indeed strange and unorthodox as is his name among the Spaniards. I will admit that I do not trust him, but his efforts against the Moors are commendable. I fear war with him must be imminent if Iberia is to be united under a strong and just king.

If we can secure alliance between our peoples against the Saracens and warmongers then I would be overjoyed to see the borders of Spain and France may stand secure side by side until the end of time.

Iberia is now split between 2 victorious kings, and the conquest of Mediterranean Africa has begun.

Even in the abscence of the young monarch, Brandenburger forces struggle to submit the Saxons.

The Byzantines conquer the Rum and the Armenians in one fell swoop. It is rumored they will not stop until Islam is a distant memory...

France, as usual, is ineffectual.

>>48587260
Yes.

ALL PLAYERS

>if you have 6T coming your way, and 2Twater between, you will take 4T.

>>48587280
All game, assuming you hold the conquered Ts. Nontransferable, and it is a +1T.

>>48587319
France continues its attack on the English. We will free our land from Tyranny!!!

>>48587211
To Septimus of Leon, esteemed Crusader of Iberia. We see that in spite of your methods you are a true man of Christ as we would not see war against you happily. However, as the house of Castille is the realm of the older son and our dynasty the true inheritor to all the lands of Spain, we must insist on your vassalhood to our kingdom. If true peace is to be had and our Peninsula made strong through unity, you must lay down your laurels and declare that King Salvador of Castile is your Liege and that you and your sons will serve him faithfully as honored Dukes.

If this Ultimatum is not met then it is our utmost regret that you must be brought to heel until such a time as you are able to recognize our authority as the Masters of Spain.

>>48587319
It's to be expected that the Brandenburger forces would take a while to reorganise, even in the absence of their young King - and the bloody campaign continues, a vicious slog through fiercely resisting Saxony.

The official line is that Brandon II is making a speedy recovery, but rumours of an infection abound among the populace.

>>48587319
Declare war on the Abbasid Caliphate. I've had enough of this joke they call a civilization. Send 300 calvaries. Have 100 of the best archers invade their cities by surprise.

>>48587319
Waiting on Septimus' response

>>48587319
Out to the Canary Islands then, and death to any mohammadian between us and them

>>48587230
Would you be implying that I am not strong?
Or just?
We must cleanse the world of the Sarecen pox, but when such a deed is done... well, I'm sure we can find an agreement, as reasonable Christians
Check the Roman Legion that founded Leon

>>48587412
Vassalhood?

>>48587429
The agreement is to made now. I will set out in the name of Christendom with my home insecure and vulnerable for to do such is to be a fool. Do you submit myself as my vassal or do you not?

Waiting on Iberian diplomacy for 5min then Mupdate

>>48587319
Oh wait are vassals a thing in this map?

>>48587319
The word does not come soon enough

Castille takes up arms against Leon, focusing on the northern territories.

>>48587457
>>48587478
A good question.
And I am away in Africa - let us have peace through neither of us stewing at our homes, and expend any wrath that may rise against worthier foes

War breaks out between the Iberian Kings.

Brandenburg lands a decissive blow against the rulers of Saxony.

The Byzantines begin a war against the Abbasids.

France continue its Northern Campaign.

>>48587569
>>48587478
If you come to some agreement, sure.

>>48587588
The armies of Brandenburg continue their conquest of Saxony, and declare their intent to march south into Luciferan Bavaria, to expunge the foul Satanist influences from the Holy Roman Empire.

>>48587588
>>48587478
>>48587526
It seems communication has become an issue, not ill intent - or at least, that is my sincere hope

Nevertheless, my armies must return to the homeland... conquering the Moor's land as we return, of course

>>48587588
It is to be submission or subjugation. Spain is secured from the Saracens but now it must have unity if it to truly be a power in Europe. In all that I conquer I take every precaution to see that the wives and daughters of the conquered cities and castles remain unmolested and that all men are treated fairly and without cruelty. God have mercy on my soul for I do it for the future of Hispania.

Castile > Leon

If I take his starting area in Leon or Portugal's spot do I get another +1 or do I need to take his whole faction? If I do that do I get all his bonuses or just another +1?

>>48587588
Declare war on Antioch, kill them and then spill into the armies that I am at war with, the Abbasids. Justinian I has died from old age, unsurprisingly considering he's hundreds of years old now. Isaac II of Byzantium is the heir and new emperor of the Byzantine Empire.

>>48587673
Yeah that is a shame. I was getting impatient and worried about OP's update so I had to go through with it or risk missing my role completely.

>>48587588
France attacks Toulouse!

>>48587714
And we were doing so well against the Moors too.
However, I cannot let this stand
(don't think bonuses carry, and I'm really hoping it's not just the starting area)

The war is devastating in Iberia as Leon's forces return from North Africa. Leon is hardpressed by Castille.

Brandenburg overwhelmes Saxony and marches into the godless Bavaria.

The Byzantines continue their unstoppable march into the Middle East.

France is on the edge of conquering Toulouse and has its sights set on Burgundy...

>>48587790
Isaac II stops being a shitty leader like he did back then. This is an alternate timeline where he commands yet another invasion in Cyprus, with the rest of the men sailing back to fight against the Abbasid Caliphate. May their empire be crushed by the boot of the Byzantine. GLORIA!

>>48587790
Retake Iberia! This completely unjustified attack will not be allowed go unpunished

>>48587790
France declares war on Burgundy and mops up the remnants of Toulouse...

>>48587790
King Cloven would do well to remember that Burgundy is a member of the Holy Roman Empire, wherein an attack upon one from the outside is an attack on all.

The Brandenburger soldiery marches through what remains of Bavaria, and then commits to conquering the Rhine, once again citing the ancestral dynastic claims of the first King of Brandenburg.

>>48587790
If I take his own holds then he is more likely to surrender to me and recognize my authority as Emperor. My men march on the lands of Leon. Salvador marches along with his men with a dour look, greatly perturbed by the death of the Leonese Christians he is now directly responsible for. Still he marches on insistent that it must be done for the security of his Kingdom

Castille > Leon

>>48587790
We have rallied our men and are prepared for expansion. Please inform me of þe current state of europe.

>>48587893
There is war between Iberians. I am at war with Islam and Judaism and swear to snuff out the dying fire that is it's life on Earth. Burgundy and France are at war. Perfect time for you to expand, perhaps you can join the eastern Orthodoxy?

>>48587893
Duke Frederick;

I, King Brandon II of Brandenburg, have been pursuing my ancestral claims within the Holy Roman Empire, as is my right.

King Cloven of France has been doing similarly in his own Kingdom, and the Kings of Leon and Castille in Iberia have expelled the moors but now war amongst themselves on the subject of primacy.

The war for Iberia continues with massive attrition on both sides.

Brandenburg subsumes its second faction and invests the Rhine.

France takes Toulouse and begins to invade Burgundian territory.

The Byzantines secure Cypress and most of Mesopotamia.

>>48587893
Roll to here m8.

>>48587930
Isaac II sends a fleet to invade Abbasid shores, then he commands 300 cavalrymen, 200 infantrymen, and 100 archers to invade their cities.

>>48587930
France continues to invest Burgundy and sends reserves into the occupied Northern French territories.

>>48587930
We must prevail - Leon shall not fall to the Castilians

>>48587930
A column of Brandenburger troops declares their intent to retake the state of Luxembourg for the King, before resuming their campaign for the entirety of the Rhine.

>>48587967
An ultimatum is issued from the Regent's office to King Cloven of France, declaring that he is to quit Burgundy or face war with the Holy Roman Empire.

>>48587930
We declare loyalty to the eastern orthodox nations. We march on Lithuania, and also some forces will move south to Poland. We must expand to defend our Prussia homeland.

>>48587966
Thou great cities now fall. Next up is the wild barbaric Arabian tribes that shall fall down to their knees and kneel for the beheading that awaits them. May they burn in the smoldering embers of Hell and drink the glorious gore of their children as they bathe in the lake of fire. Onwards I march into the tribesman's land and slay them mercilessly.

>>48587930
>with massive attrition on both sides.
King Salvador walks among the tents of his generals in a rage, criticizing them for their actions both on and off the battlefield that has resulted in the loss of life both among their own troops and the enemy populace. He spends longs nights with his court priests praying to God for a quick and decisive victory knowing with all his heart that Spain can not remain divided if it is to survive

Castille > Leon

A Duke arises in Prussia, and invades Poland and Lithuania.

Brandenburg is stymied in his quest for Luxembourg.

The Byzantines continue to devastate the Abbasids.

Leon takes decisive action against the forces of Castille and makes significant gains. King Salvador rallies, but his troops were weary...

France, fearing a war with the Holy Roman Empire, halts its investment of Burgundy and turns North in an effort to expel the English invaders.

>>48588101
France continues to press the English, but splits off numerous cavalry cohorts that ride hard for Rhineland...

>>48588101
Brandenburger forces march on Luxembourg and the Rhine, and are told that any French forces they encounter are to be considered hostile, and to march south into French-held Burgundian territory once they are done.

>>48588101
The Duke orders his army to secure northern Poland and expand south. We will rise to supremely in the northeast of Europe and acquire the respect of other nations, whether it be by the diplomacy or the blade is yet to be seen.

>>48588101
Salvador is mortified by the defeat of his forces in Spain and his daily routine of prayer among the priests falters. To late perhaps he remembers that at the beginning of this war he recognized that the conflict was not a matter of religion but of the politics and security of christian Iberia. Now he devotes more and more of his time not within church but among his generals and spy masters looking for any hole among the enemy ranks that could be exploited for victory against the Leonese.

>>48588101
Castille must submit, or be destroyed!

>>48588101
Isaac II the Conqueror marches onwards into the damning streets of Abbasid cities, the homes of it's people are lit on fire and the mosques are showered in the blood of these sinners. The sultan will be captured very soon, I feel it.

Byzantium congratulates Prussia's turn to the lord and I personally pray for the catholics. They may not believe in me, but they are fighting believers of Christ and that is unacceptable. I advise them to kill unbelievers and barbarians.

>>48588168
See here, Young Brandon. I have halted my expansion into Burgundy to appease your childish hopes of a reformed Empire. If you persist in this matter we shall be forced to act. There is no need for this kind of conflict...

>>48588201
Esteemed King Cloven II of France,

While you unlawfully hold Imperial territories, Brandenburg absolutely sees such a need. Your rule in France shall never be challenged, but while you insist upon holding Imperial land, a lasting peace cannot be rightfully considered.

Yours,
Regent Wilhelm Ritter

---

Young King Brandon has not been seen in public since rumours of an infection in his wound.

>>48588201
You should be kicked out of the HRE considering the fact that you attack your brethren. I'd say that you are already at war with the HRE. Unless Burgundy left the HRE and no one else knew?

Leon has a slight edge over Castille, but will it be enough? They are both lucky the Moors are leaderless...

Brandenburg continues to subdue the German Principalities and conquers Luxembourg. They also invade France to return Burgundian territories to their original owners.

The Byzantines have no slaughtered more Muslims than there where in europe at the height of Moorish occupation.

The Prussians continue to invest Poland, but progress is slow in coming.

>>48588329
While the Ayyubid Caliphate is distracted from the Egyptian invasion. I begin to cleanse the world of the Arabian tribes (Green). Then I resign and my son Isaac III becomes emperor.

>>48588309
France is not, nor was it at the beginning of the hostilities. i'd remind you that this is a matter for civilized Europe and not the barbaric Easterners to decide.

>>48588294
I will hold what i have taken, but i will take no more. You must return the sovereign pieces of our homeland you have taken or there will be war...

>>48588329
We continue to press the assault in the West and send reserves North over the sea.

>>48588329
Endentured servants rumor about the radical fits Frederick is throwing upon recieving word of his general' s lack of progress in the polish campaign. The Duke orders his generals to take Poland at all cost.

>>48588329
The Rhineland and Burgundian Southern France are the Brandenburg's first priorities, as dictated by the regent's office.

>>48588380
However, another message is sent to King Cloven II, offering Brandenburger support for their war against the English if they withdraw their claims from Burgundy and the Rhineland.

>>48588329
A reformed host of Castilian knights ride out against the Leonese and those with knowledge of the nobility make note of how much of the leadership is made up of some of the more unsavory and ruthless of Castile's knights. As a Leonese town falls the people are horrified to see that, not only are measures not taken to curb looting and rape, but that King Salvador himself looks on with a icy gaze as a group of his men ride through the town burning and pillaging the holdings of his enemies.

The war has broken something inside of the Christian.

Castile > Leon

The Duke has now been put on suicide watch and his servants will not leave his side.

Leon presses their invasion, and Castille fights back hard.

The Byzantines add more notches to their belt as the inest the Arabian Peninsula.

The King of Brandenburg sets his sights on the French.

The Duke of Prussia continues to march on Poland, but the Polish cavalry stymies his efforts.

>>48588543
France declares war on Brandenburg. This is not a war of conquest. We only seek to recapture what is rightfully ours.

>>48588543
Finish off these barbaric simpleton tribesmen, soldiers! Then once you finish those easy-to-defeat rats, I will march with you on Ayyubid Sultanate soil.

>>48588543
Salvador leads charges along with his knights against the Leonese, fighting like a man who has no concern for his life or the lives of those around him. Panicked whispers abound as to whether or not this new found brutality will prove effective against the Leonese or cause him to lose his supporters among the Spanish.

Castile > Leon

>>48588505
The authority of the empire can not be undermined by allowing you to hold its territory and oppress its members.

>>48588543
Brandenburg is at war with France. They intend to hold the Western border of the Holy Roman Empire and take the lands of Burgundy.

>>48588557
For God's sake, one of you leave the Holy Roman Empire.

>>48588543
The Duke sends forth his own royal guard and archery units to cut down polish Calvary personnel and ordèrs his generals to leave no survivors. The polish will submit or die. In his downtime the duke is seen skipping rocks by the brook, contemplating the proper punishment for his failed generals. He almost cannot bare the lives lost so early in the polish campaign. He vows to gut the ranks and promote warriors of valor and honor to replace these failures.

Declaring war on the cumans, kyi asks for ships from byzantium in return for Kievan knights. known as varangians

>>48588595
I am not a part of it. His justification for attacking the French is a pretense for domination. See how he has conquered his neighbors, and each ona a member of the Holy Roman Empire! I took from burgundy land, yes, but i left them in power when it would profit me more to completely subsume them. Where is the forbearance of the Boy King, i ask you?

>>48588592

I wish to maintain the darkest borderline between France and Brandenburg. I am willing to turn my head, shameful though it is, at the innocent French you have slaughtered for a leaderless Burgundy, but i cannot abide you controlling French pieces of Rhineland.

My respect and congratulations to you Duke Frederick.

I have terms to offer: help me stay the hand of the Boy King by agreeing to invade Brandenburg along with me only if he does not sign a peace accord with France, and i will convert my country from Catholic to the Orthodoxy. The conversion will happen regardless of the choices of the Boy King should we make an accord...

God has never favored war and no longer can I rely on Him Who Rules in Heaven to assist me. If he did then he would not be the merciful Christian God I knew in my youth. I deny your truce offering.

France and Brandenburg descend into conflict over lines drawn by a long dead Pontiff. Both sides have large armies, but the Brandenburgers are blessed with many cohorts of mercenaries.

The Spanish War of Dominance enters its 11th year. The death toll is unknown. for every dead soldier, there are 10 dead small folk. Crops are not sewn. Farms are untended. The whole of Iberia is a deserted waste full of brigands, sellswords, and royal soldiers.

The Emperor Isaac, third of his name, knows no equal in the Middle East. It is rumored he has plans for the Italian City States, and the elders of the Orthodoxy have begun increasing their writs and proclamations against the Roman Catholic Church.

In the far east, a new leader appears, taking command of Kiev.

>>48588833
You sit upon prussian clay. It will be ours or your line will end with you. We implore you to cede holdings in Poland and relinquish your efforts in Francis for a true peace in the north. Or should we demand Berlin as well...

To one more battle Salvador marches with his troops. It seems apparent to those around him that this effort must be a resounding success or the Ruler may indeed abdicate the Leonese dynasty. What victory might birth in the heart of the man is unknown and with the tactics being used by the King it is uncertain whether the warrior will be as just as Ruler in peace time as he was after the defeat of the Moors. Whispers of his absence at Masses give way to rumors of Atheism or perhaps even Satanism plaguing his heart, but in private he gives no hint as to his faith.

To King Branon II of Brandenburg

I suggest that you wish not that my eyes turn north for by what my ears of heard I hold the King of France to be in the right within your conflict for he seeks to hold the lands of the Frankish sons of Charlemagne while leaving Germany unmolested. He has not ventured into your lands, and rather he claims the lands won by France' Duke of Normandy, whose descendants wounded his nation greatly in the past.

I wish you the peace that has evaded me, but you will not win my support in your martial efforts.

Fate shines its loving face on the Castillians as the surge forward into the holdings of Leon. Though there is celebration in the East of Iberia, none can deny that this war has been given a new lease on life.

Brandenburg strikes into Prussia at the news of Prussia's declaration of war. The Prussians are hard pressed to defend and retake.

The French make good on their threats and invade Brandenburg, but the countryside is solidly for the Young King Brandon II and the progress is slow and costly.

The Byzantines have arrived on the shores of Italy, and every European power must confront what scholars only postulated.

The forces of Kiev sweep east, with almost no resistance put up by the locals.

Wait, you converted to Orthodoxy? You hold that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, was not present at the Creation of the Universe and that the Holy Spirit is issued forth from the Father and of the Son, not that it is it's own divine individuality and part of God as is taught through the Catholic doctrine of the Trinity?

To Septimus of Leon.

It has come to my attention of the change of faith in neighboring Francia. I have been a brutal and unforgiving enemy against you and I see no reason why you should agree to terms of Peace with me. I have been responsible for the deaths of honorable men and God fearing women. At this time, however, it has become apparent to me that France, that bastion of Catholicism and the homeland of Popes has fallen from the true word of God and has taken up what in my eyes qualifies as nothing short of Heresy. I still believe that Spain is by rights mine, but I can not in my heart feud over this land even though I love it so knowing that the eternal soul of every Frenchman is now at risk.

I now seek Peace to make holy war against France until the King of that land reconvert to the True faith of Christianity and seek baptism and recoronation from his Holiness the Pope in Rome.

>>48589187
What choice did i have? Prussia was the only ally that would give me succor in my time of need. You, my preferred ally, were hard pressed by the Leonese rebels. Even now, the Byzantines march north through Italia and the Brandenburgers have nearly consumed the noble Prussians.

The best laid plans...

>>48589315
>The best laid plans...

Do not risk the souls of your vassals. Men have made alliances with those of the Greek church without forsaking their beliefs. I will not suffer the mainland of Europe to fall to the eastern heresy especially the Home of Catholicism that is France. What you do is similar to expecting me to watch Rome itself fall.

Castille is now in a position to extinguish the forces of Leon in Iberia, leaving only overseas holdings.

Brandenburg nearly obliterates Prussia, but the Prussian forces fight back hard, and delay their evisceration.

Byzantium continues to roll up the Italian City States.

To not recognize the importance of those sainted individuals who witnessed the glory of the Christ firsthand is foolishness.

Prussia has been destroyed by Brandenburg and French skulduggery. The Duke Frederick was found slain by his own hand.

France has pivoted and invaded Castille, but it becomes more clear that the King is in over his head.

Byzantium has no equal, but due to their size they are ill equipped to deal with losing frontier Ts to the Persians or the Castillians.

Jerusalem has been established as a vassal state of Byzantium.

King Brandon still lies on his sickbed, unseen by the public, but his friend's rumoured death fills him ith the determination not to die to a fever caught from an old battle-wound.

He begins to take a more active role in the running of his kingdom again, though his Regent still performs most of his official duties.

A fresh offensive against the French in the West is declared, with the veterans of the Prussian campaign ordered to retake the Rhine and push on towards Paris, to distract the French from their unconscionable invasion of Castille.

>>48589970
You will be his bitch, basically.

>>48589901
I already own his homeland. He would have clearly moved his capital to a new location in Morroco, especially if he claimed the crown there. He has claimed his conquests as his new dominion and I have made myself Lord of Iberia. Why would either of us need to be vassals?

Also Baldwin being able to attack me in Rome with no penalty makes very little sense. Even as a Byzantine vassal all his resources and sources for soldiers would still be in Jerusalem.

>>48589968
Do not be absurd.

The lack of bonus saddens me - do nations conquered get added to the Lord P?

>>48590029

For my part, I don't see why a liege could not grant a vassal independence - and it seems obvious that Castille doesn't want to force Leon- I mean Morocco into a subservient position, but an equal one.

>>48590030
Convert to Orthodoxy and attack Castile, I will ensure that all the land I get from him is yours.

>>48589995
1)Unless he marches with his Lord. If he is attacking in Egypt one turn then Italy the next, i will assess a penalty.

2)you guys fought so hard, and swapped so much, the Lords would be quite mobile. But it matters not; i do not allow mass cedes without consequences. If he chooses to not defend, then you can roll for his Ts in Iberia. If not, he must become your vassal so you can gain his land.
3) to become an empire, you need at least 3 other empires to promote you OR capture 3 kingdoms

LEON? Does thy realize what is at stake here? What is at stake is your home, he was made you give your home, Hispania so then you could become a vassal state, a slave to him. You will own his land if you convert to Catholicism.

Oh and like you do. You've literally had the majority of your game handed to you on a silver platter, starting as an empire, attacking brainless factions, and getting a vassal who in every ounce of historical sense should be an independent Catholic domain.

Peace has come to Iberia. The French have been expelled, Leon has submitted to King Salvador, and the Spanish people are united in their opposition to the hegemony of Byzantium.

Brandenburg sweeps into France with no resistance from the King's forces. Perceiving defeat, Cloven II throws himself from a balcony. As in life, his attempt at death is thwarted by poor planning; he lays bent and broken for days until a pack of mongrels tear into his belly. It is said that on the spot he died no grass grows and the quietly laughter of Duke Frederick of Prussia can be heard at the witching hour.

Byzantium and their vassal Jerusalem prepare for war with Castille and his vassal Leon.

In the far east, the Persian ruler expands his holdings unmolested.

What is left of the French nobility has fled to England.

you can call yourself whatever you like. you asked me what the qualifications were. what is more, factions with no player cannot agree or disagree, and if you conquer them they have lost their status. i used the rule free, royalty free map because it seems that MER is to complicated for the average player (not you, Brandon). call yourself whatever you want; you ask me a question, i am going to open the rules and answer you.

>>48590368
Send the soldiers to Italy and conquer, as many as humanely possible. Salvador for fuck's sake, just give me Italy. The Holy Roman Empire has collapsed and there is nothing else in the world that can take my decisions back.

The Byzantines must recognize that they have no claims to Italy. It belongs in the Catholic hands of Italians and Normans and I will die protecting them and the Holy Papacy in Rome.

Take away the Byzantine holdings in Italy and defend them from further aggression. Spill goes to helping Septimus exterminate the Moors in his new land.

A letter bearing the waxen seal of the house of Brandenburg reaches the French nobles who have fled to the court of England.

"Esteemed Duke Clarence of Normandy,

"I hereby write to you as one monarch to another. My advisors tell me that with the death of the King of France, you are the most obvious heir to his throne.

"I bear you no ill will, and if you disavow the former King's abandonment of Roman Catholicism and are willing to sign an accord promising that you shall never raise arms against The Holy Roman Empire or Castille for as long as you live, I would be glad to welcome you back to the mainland, and return to you the lands and incomes of France proper, with the borders outlined in the attached map.

"If these conditions are agreeable to you, then write back post-haste.

"Eagerly awaiting your response,
King Brandon II of Brandenburg."

we declare war on the Castilians. we take Roma back

>>48590466
Yes that is what I intended to make him Viceroy over. It was part of our peace agreement.

>>48590502
You son of a bitch, did you just call me degenerate? Did you just call Rome holy?

which countries are free to take?

>>48590533
Still, I will let you have Italy if you stop attacking. The reason why I got so successful is because I wasn't at war for half the game. I want to continue like this

>>48590368
>bwahahahahaha!!!!!!

>>48590509
Your Grace, King of Brandenburg, your note falls on angry and aggrieved ears. The nobles that survived where not of the type to be courageous or honorable. As such, i cannot compel them to return.

I myself am tired of this dismal Island, and would seek to serve as a general in your Army.

Would you grant me the titles requisite to rule in a reformed Prussia? I will serve you.

If we cannot agree, i will continue my conquest of the Isles...

Respectfully,
-Clarence, Duke of Normandy

Never have great King Nader Shah Afsar been in the company of a more quarrelsome bunch of "Kings and Emperors". A true king is always firm, resolute and decided. He hates wasting time on over thinking due to indecisiveness and is swift in executing his policies regarding friends and foes.

With no monarch, France falls into unguided chaos.

Brandenburg pushes deep into Italy and erects a vassalage in former Prussia with a French General at its helm.

Castille continues to fight Byzantium for control of Italia, and with the arrival of King Brandon II it looks as if his delaying actions have given the Catholics of Europe something to hope for.

...but Byzantium is large and formidable. If their vassal remains steadfast, it will prove to be a bloody conflict.

A new leader rises in Kiev. He may be the tipping point for Byzantium's quest to unify Europe under the Banner of Orthodoxy.

The Shah in Persia expands steadily east, building much in the way of infrastructure and culture, but his military is unbloodied...

I leave the management of Greater Prussia in your capable hands. With the capitulation of Byzantium to Catholicism, our focus must turn from defending the Holy Roman Church to expanding and consolidating the borders of the Holy Roman State.

>>48590882
You are perfect for this.

Castille chose to be Catholic, but let his pride delay his religious ambition. hundreds of thousands died, and for what, a unified Iberia and nothing else?

Brandenburg maintained his principles of HRE primacy, regardless of momentary expediency.

Byzantium sought easy power in the barbarous east and studied the West, waiting for his moment to strike.

Leon, Prussia, and France all gambled and lost in both diplomacy and combat.

RP makes risk better IMO. just wish we had more players...

Brandenburg troops are split and dispersed across the Germanic region to a few areas of interest.

The city of Kiel to the north is deemed a port-city vital to the Empire's Baltic ambitions, and so a detachment is sent to claim it.

King Brandon II judges a land route to southern Burgundy of paramount imporance, and so dispatches another group of soldiers to secure it from a chaotic France wracked by banditry and lawlessness.

As lower priority, the assimilation of the last of Poland and then Bohemia are considered.

>>48590831
So Byzantine cedes Italy to me as it becomes a Protectorate of Hispania governed by the Papacy. I take my troops back to conquer Moors alongside my Viceroy.

>>48590964
What are you talking about? The moment I realized by nation wasn't immediately surrounded by other Catholics I dropped everything to secure the safety of my people and the souls of all true Christians in Europe.

>>48590899
i have seen that kind of shit before when OP deserves it. Its one thing to be clear with everyone that you are new to OPing and ask for help from the community but to be making mistakes and not fix them is a nono. i hate that shit more than Boudicca and will absolutely troll and kill it i think the OP is a retard and not making effort to fix it. that said, ash the other day was playing a game i was hosting and this happened
>complained about something every move
>I fixed every time i made a legit mistake

im cool with OPlaying as long as the community can veto the OPs decision. if the OP plays he should be a the mercy of those playing and vice versa i guess... i feel this way bc sometimes there just arent enough players

>>48591113
Yeah but you don't know whether or not if OP cheats. Plus it's disappointing to me when an OP makes a game for others to have fun and then he decides to fuck up the players.

>>48591048
and we should, but i am a fascist, so my view is that OP is right, OPs mistakes (spill direction, etc) are fate instances, and if you do not think the game is fair, you should dip out, lurk and be a non playing factor (advisor, spirit of the dead, Varys, etc), or start your own.

Spamming a risk thread is just stupid and i cannot be convinced of its utility. just my opinion

Defend from any more attacks. I ANNOUNCE THAT I AM CATHOLIC BECAUSE I DON'T GIVE A FUCK! Once my soldiers have defended IF there are attackers who don't realize they are killing fellow catholics, send them to Egypt to conquer the Ayyubid Sultanate.

>>48591192
Take the last few Italian lands of the Orthodoxy away from them. This land is Catholic. Overflow goes into conquering Tunisia

My Vassal can have control of the lands of the old Moorish Caliphate outside of Iberia, however his land gains in Tunisia will be controlled directly by the Crown so that it can directly oversee the conversion of the Muslims there..

>>48591224
No need to attack, they are leaving. things never go smoothly in real life. im putting your whole roll into the dirty Moors to protect the hard won peace of catholicism

i always try to do it a little messy; sometimes it pushes someone over the edge and they go full on BT1000. it mucks up the cleanliness of peace, just like insolent local commanders have a way of doing :]

>>48591192
The conversion in this game has been silly. In what world would France or the Kingdoms of Jerusalem even be able to freely convert to Orthodoxy without a huge backlash? Pagans converting to avoid attack from an organized Religion or subjugated nations adopting their Liege' faith but anything Byzantine flopping between Catholicism and Orthodoxy every year is silly else is ridiculous

>>48591300
i agree, but i used the map with the rules taken off because when i use the proper one, everyone complains it is too slow/too hard/muh memes. In correct MER there are penalties, oft times severe ones, for traitors and turncoats. this kind of map requires historical knowledge, tactical where with all, and a cool head. Also, it should have at least 8 people to function as it should. i really miss /b/ risk circa '11-'12.

Either way, i tore france apart because of their heresy, and yesterday i did the same with Pomerania. but a playing OP can only do so much, ya know? we need more players. I am going to stay on /tg/...
