King Alfonso VI (http://www.freewebs.com/xiahou_liao/kingalfonso.jpg)
1087 - This morning I awoke feeling renewed. I moved out of my bed and hurried into my best clothes and moved to my opened balcony. I looked over my lands, my spanish lands. The dream I had last night...it was strange, as if something had told me to create an Empire. It was then I noticed on the edges of my lands, there were nothing keeping from refugees and others to pass into my land without permission So I ordered the building of Border Watch Towers after turning to my Advisor. Ah yes...that dream has given me the ideal to forge an Empire out of this chaotic world. With my military realtively small and with potential enemies on all fronts, to pierce the first set of tapestry for my Empire...I will have to garrison my Kingdom, and increase my troop's strength.
1088 - I have increased my military by banding together Urban Militia and a unit of Jinetes. I have sent an emissary south towards The Almohads...I have a grudge from them when I was a child...However, I sent my only mature daughter in towards Il De France.
1089 - More Jinetes were rounded together as I continue development of my Kingdom. News that a piece of the True Cross has been found and stored in Il de France has reached me. It is a lucky omen for the French, and they are currently keeping it in their paris Cathedral. My first son, Alfonso, has matured this year. After continious watch over him, I have picked up that he has a drinking problem...I'll have to sort this out if he wishes to be king after me...
1090 - Good news I have another son. My wife had just gave him birth today. I sure hope he is better than his oldest brother, Alfonso...There is nothing wrong with Alfonso...It's his drinking that is effecting his effectiveness...Maybe I should do something about it?
1091 - Bad news for this year...First, reports that the German treasury is the largest in the land has disheartened some of my nobles. Second, a famine broke out in Leon, and now I will only receive half of my needed florins. However, good news hides around the corner of bad news...I have another son born from my wife today.
1092 - Curses A curse has been placed upon me Two famines in two years Both my provinces struck now...Gah However, again good news is around the corner The Holy Roman Empire has sent their princess asking for an alliance. Perhaps I should have one of my single sons court her? But wait The Polish have sent their Princess Swatana asking for a marriage...However it would cause me to break off the alliance with the Holy Roman Empire. I'm sorry, but I can't not do that. is what I told my son, and refused the marriage. A few days later, my wife has given birth to my third daughter.
1093 - Apparantly, I have received warnings from unknown sources of unloyal Generals....ontop of that, The English have weapons and other workings that are unheard of anywhere else. It took four years but I did it, the improved farmland is complete in Leon and Castile. But unfortunately, another famine occured in Leon. Gah Damn these famines The Holy Roman Emperor has refused my son's hand in marriage to his Daughter, Jutta. Oh well...There is also the Aragon princess...
1094 - Ah, Sancho turns sixteen this year...So far he seems to be preforming better than his Eldest brother. The pope spoke today...He has declared he wants to holy land to return to Christ, Jerusalem...besides that there is yet another Famine striking Castile. I believe there is something against me, an omen perhaps...As for Sancho, he is a natural leader...but reports to me have caught him speaking to the wall, petting invisible creatures, and killing invisible enemies...He indeed is strange.
Battle of Navarre Results (http://www.freewebs.com/xiahou_liao/Alfonsobattle.jpg)
1095 - I gave those Rebels a chance in Navarre...They refused to succumb to my might. So I made them pay. I lead my forces into Navarre personally to see to it that each rebel was beheaded publicaly, and then their corpses impaled on sticks to show others to not even dare to come forth against my Spanish Army. A man by the name of Peter the Hermit has started a Peasant Crusade in Il De France. Ha Don't make me laugh...Finally Good news has shined it's light upon the Spanish Kingdom. The French have offered their daughter in marriage of my son, the wedding is to take place immediately. More good news My wife has given birth to yet another daughter. Note: V&V gained: Scant Mercy, +1 Dread.
1096 - Ah, not much this year...Border Watch Towers in Navarre has been built. Otherwise peace in the land has been sustained this year. Not to mention that my eldest daughter is married to the prince of England, and my eldest son is married to the princess of France. Ha, a family alliance has began
1097 - A goal To surpass the Holy Roman Empire's military might has set my mind. It is said they have the strongest army so far in the world...They haven't seen the Spanish Kingdom's might yet then...Bah A famine has occured in Leon this year, right when the Leon port was finished. I have allied with Byzantium this year, it was a few months before the birth of yet another Daughter.
1098 - This year has been a quiet year so far. Famine has struck in Leon once more. I accepted an alliance with the Aragonese. I fear that my age is weakening my health. I am Fourty-Three this year and my wife has spoken to me...She pointed out that recently, I've been more violent and stressed than usual. Is this true? Is old age getting the better of me?
1099 - There is an Omen against me from God. Famine in all of my provinces, how could this be? Damn him Damn you God Why have you done this to us What have we done in the eyes of you, that you disapprove of? ...I'm sorry my lord, I did not mean to speak to you in such a way. Forgive me.
1100 - Castile suffers from a Famine again this year, what a bad year At the turn of the century....
1101 - The Byzantines now have more technological power than the English. Who cares? I'm going to die soon, and I have only began to break through the tapestry...Oh god help me. My closest ally...has died of an illness today, the King of Aragon. Morning throughout Aragon and Spain are being practice as I write this. I had refused an Alliance with the Italians, The Byzantines seem more important at this moment. Another son is born as well...The French and Holy Roman Empire have declared war on each other, and I chose to stay allied with realitives by marriage...
1102 - It is time...War with the Almohads is inevitable...The Almohads will fall under the Spanish blade. I'm leading my veteran troops personally into the Enemy territory, in hopes to split them through the middle. Ha The Almohads have retreated from my Army's might. In Portugal there was a Rebellion against Musilm presence, and now they're stuck to fight off the rebels or my army. Fortune has looked upon the Spanish Army finally Bad news for the Italians. The Italian Doge has died of an Illness...The Italians and their allies have began to mourn their loss. The Prince of Novgorod has sent me a message, he has informed me of the recent outbreaks between the Almohads and I, he wishes to remain allied to me. The Aragonese, English, and Byzantines have brought me the same message.
1103 - We began to seige on the Cordoba Keep. Many of their men were struck down violently, but we have lost a good amount as well, however, It is about to fall. Otherwise, the year has been a stable year...and I feel that I may be coming to my end soon. I must hurry and at least conquer this region
Knighthood (http://www.freewebs.com/xiahou_liao/Alfonsoknighthood.jpg)
1104 - Finally Victory is mine Cordoba has fallen...and all within will be executed I will line them up on their knees, with their hands tied together behind their backs. Crossbow men will fire into their stomachs and then The swords of the Spainards will remove their heads from their necks In other occurances. This thing called Knighthood has been formed, and has rapidly increased in popularity. Thus, I am allowing my men to take after it's code of honor. Ah yes, another good year I suppose, another son of mine has been born.
1105 - The Almohads invaded Cordoba..and then retreated like the vile fiends they are Ha Yet another rebellion in Portugal has occured. Fernando turns sixteen this year. I feel rather old from all the children I've watched grow up...
1106 - Another rebellion in the Province in Portugal...seems as if the Almohad's presence is unbearable. I knew I was right in warring against such infidels Ugh...my head hurts, I feel as if I'm growing dizzy...I need to rest, perhaps I am sick. However, King Adam I has offered his daughter's hand in marriage to one of my sons. Garc has matured this year...Fifty one years I have been on this world...it's time for me to leave...soon.
1107 - This year, nothing special has occured. The Holy Roman Empire are the richest of all the Kingdoms, and they possess the strongest Military. It's around time for me to sleep..sleep is needed...
1108 - My son, Garc, has proposed to me that he sought the idea of taking Portugal from enemy Hands. I agreed. He has shown me excessive amounts of courage and bravery in the battlefield. His units did well...for mercenaries. Who cares? They're mercenaries They're job is to die. Ha, Ha. I am proud of Garc...if only he was my heir...perhaps I'll plan to kill the others of?
1109 - Yes Yes...reports of Sancho painting his servants blue and sucking on horse shoes disturbs me...me and many others. I think it's time for him to be gone... Ha...I need rest, I don't feel well...I'm dizzy and light headed. Damn So close to an empire
1110 - Yes Ha look at me, King Alfonso VI Ha, I have escaped death and now I feel much better I am tired, and require rest, a scratch my sickness has laid upon me But 'tis enough...ask for me tomorrow and you'll find me a grave man... Farther into this entry has been left blank due to the sudden death of King Alfonso VI from an Illness. However, before his death, he had written, and laid out a plan to kill off his Sons leading down to Garc's position to make him Heir. This plan has not yet been exposed, and should one of the next kings decide to look within Alfonso's dairy, they will find the troubled king's notes, and plans.

Xiahou - just a word of advice, I think the org's savegame uploader is a much more efficient way of passing on savegames than working by e-mail. The uploader is simplicity itself to use. Tracking down everyone's e-mail address is a pain. Also it is not unheard of for participants (and thread starters) to go awol, making it hard to find old savegames with which to resurrect the campaign.

Well it's 12.25am and as promised here is the write-up, 1 hour later http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

The reign of King Alfonso VII:

1110
King Alfonso VII takes the throne at the age of 36 on the death of his father King Alfonso VI. He has 2 sons who are great warriors, Prince Fernando and Prince Garc, unlike their older brother Prince Sancho who doesn't share their command skills and has been described as crack-brained. His first duties as king are to appoint Lord Sanchez as Duke of Portugal owing to his dreaded reputation and to start building border forts in provinces were they don't currently exist. He then sets about ending the war that his father had started with the Almohads by promising his self that he would not rest until they were wiped from the face of the earth. His first step was to send Prince Fernando with a mercenary army to attack Granada. The almohads outnumbered retreated from the battlefield without contact taking place and Granada became part of the Spanish empire.

1111
Prince Fernando and his army moved on to Morocco were they fought a battle against Prince Mohammad. Although evenly matched Prince Fernando's skill on the battlefield won the day and the remnants of the Almohad army retreated to Marrakech Castle. In this battle Prince Fernando proved his worth as a Skilled Attacker. This year saw Prince Enrique come of age but his command skills left a little to be desired.

1112
The siege of Marrakech Castle continued this year. The King of England died and his heir took over the throne.

1113
Marrakech Castle falls and Morroco becomes part of the Spanish empire. The Germans are ex-communicated by the pope. Building plans have to be put off due to lack of funds this year.

1114
Prince Fernando and his army take Algeria as the Almohads retreat without a fight. The pope requests crusades against the Germans. There is famine in Cordoba and income is halved.

1115
This is not a good year for us. There is famine in Portugal and income is halved. Building plans again have to be put off due to lack of funds. The Egyptians are hailed as the richest empire. On a good note the pope offers an alliance which we accept.

1116
This year saw Prince Ferdinand come of age but his command skills left a little to be desired. Building plans again have to be put off due to lack of funds.

1117
The Byzantines have unsurpassed technology. Building plans again have to be put off due to lack of funds. The Almohad Khalifah dies and his heir takes over.

1118
Building plans again have to be put off due to lack of funds.

1119
This year saw Prince Pedro come of age but his command skills left a little to be desired. Building plans again have to be put off due to lack of funds.

1120
Prince Fernando and his army take Tunisia as the Almohads retreat without a fight.

1121
Prince Fernando and his army moved on to Cyrenacia were they fought a battle against Khalifah Ali II. Although slightly outnumbered Prince Fernando's skill on the battlefield won the day and the remnants of the Almohad army retreated to Tripoli Castle. In this battle Prince Fernando proved his worth as an Expert Attacker. Building plans again have to be put off due to lack of funds. One of our emmissiaries was assassinated this year and the culprit as yet has not been found. The Byzantines currently have the strongest military might.

1122
The siege of Tripoli Castle ends as Prince Fernando storms the castle and the Almohads are wiped from the face of the earth as promised. Unfortunately in the siege Prince Sancho who was heir to the throne was killed. In many quarters this was seen as a good thing as he lacked the necessary skills to be king. There is famine in Portugal and income is halved. Building plans again have to be put off due to lack of funds.

1123
Building plans again have to be put off due to lack of funds.

1124
Building plans again have to be put off due to lack of funds. The king is blessed with a daghter this year.

1125
The Byzantines have unsurpassed technology.

1126
In order to build up the Spanish empire the mercenary army of Prince Fernando is disbanded and replaced with national units.

1127
King Alfonso VII has proved his self to be a Magnificent Builder and the loyalty and happiness within the Spanish kingdom grows.

1128
King Alfonso VII's thoughts now turn to the north. The Aragonese armies have been growing and threaten our 3 province border. The king would like to see this border reduced to enable it to be defended easily. He sends his heir Prince Enrique to attack Valencia. Although not a strong commander Prince Enrique beats the Aragonese army through superior numbers. The Aragonse Prince Garc is killed in the battle and the remnants of his army retreat to their small fort. For our attack on the Aragonese we get a warning from the pope and our alliances with the Sicilians, Novgorod, Byzantines and the Papacy are cancelled.

1129
Prince Enrique after his victory in Valencia leads the attack on Aragon. Although outnumbering the Aragonese his weaknesses in command are highlighted and he is soundly beaten by King Sanchez. In the heat of battle he is captured and a ransom is not paid. This does not go down well with the rest of the royal family but King Alfonso VII did not want such a weak son succeeding him to the throne. He was now proud to see that he would be succeeded by Prince Fernando who had wiped out the Almohads and proved his worth in battle time and again.

1130
The fort in Valencia falls after we repulsed a relieving army, and it becomes part of the Spanish empire. The king of England declines our request to marry his daughter to Prince Fernando. King Alfonso VII dies and Prince Fernando becomes King Fernando II at the age of 41.

A couple of notes for you:
Do not attack Aragon again for a while unless you want to be ex-communicated.
Apologies for your king being 41 but the 2 princes above him I strategically got rid of as their stats were awful.
Your king is currently unmarried so I assume you will find him a bride and give him some rest to start a family.

Xiahou Liao, I have played King Fernando's reign...
Conquer-wise the reign was not spectacular, but I've tried to focus on happiness- and trade-boosting buildings, so the treasury starts to look healthy again http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-wink.gif
However, Spain is desperately in need of a reliable fleet. I tried to tech up Portugal and Granada for shipbuilding, but alas, my king died too early http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-cry.gif

Anyway, the next king is Ferdinand I, 44 years old. Fernando had 3 sons, the oldest of which is at present 12 years old (if only fernando would have lived 4 years longer...).

I've uploaded the Spanish savegame: The Spanish 1145.zip (http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/The_Spanish_1145.zip)

I'll post a brief write-up later (nothing much happened).

The year is 1165 AD and King Ferdinand is dead.

Well I didn't conquer as much as i'd liked, but that was due to the lack of any quality troops or commanders early on.

Due to the treasury I inherited I was able to build up a number of our provinces to develop some good troops. Militia Sgts and FMAA are the main forces I have focused on. (I'm not overly fond of spearmen and AP attack troops do the job of Anti cav good enough)

Also I have created a vast naval fleet in a relatively short time. We now have a ship in most sea regions except the Black sea and around Constantinople, and a couple of sea regions in the north... this is bringing in trade wealth.

Oh and we are now at war with Egypt (I just couldn't resist a Crusade) They have numerous low-quality forces and a good commander in Arabia, you only need fear the Camels and cavalry, but they can be countered with infantry.

Note to Successors: I sugguest you invade Ireland at some point before someone else does and build a port in the north to keep naval upkeep costs down... Also being able to train Gallowglasses is a great bonus.

Well the last savegame was uploaded to the wrong filespace, in fact it ended up in the screenshot space when it needed to get to the PBM space. Despite the mix up i have moved it to the right filespace so there is nothing to worry about now.

I've experienced problems with the uploader recently in the new France PBM. I recommend players work via E-mail if the problems continue.

Specifically when you try to download a game, all you get is the Org4.gif file. I tried this with several browsers and both Windows and Mac OS . I think it is specific to recently uploaded files (try downloading the last 2 French Dynasty files and you'll see what we mean). I think it has something to do with the new server changes TOsaInu has been working on.

We should probably drop him a line.

The Aragonese PBM needs a new king, and there's still plenty of provinces/factions to be conquered/eliminated, so please feel free to pick that one up.
