Set out for Acre.
Taking the save!
http://www.mizus.com/files/pbm/LOTR-1129-8.zip
Defeated some Turkish Javelinmen outside of Yerevan. Tried to ransom the prisoners but the offer was rejected.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Moved East towards Dyarbakir.
Moved Ioannis towards Iconion according to his OOC request to me.
For the sake of clarity, the save is frozen until Privateerkev posts otherwise.
Save will be "taken back" by me the moment voting ends. (2300 GMT) You have until then to update your SOTs and PM me your moves for 1129. I'll work on 1129 and post the 1131 save in a few hours for the 24 hour free move period.
Ramses has a defensive battle. When he does that he'll give me the new save and I'll finish things up and do a report. New save will be available when I post the new report.
Report for 1129:
In 1129 we learned the limits of Empire. Cairo has revolted and a Turkish army has besieged Adana. With the Crusade now funded from our coffers, spending is once again tight. But because of us working together to improve the economy, it is not as debilitating as it would have been.
Armies:
The Emperor's army suffered casualties defeating the Jihad. Units were sorely understrength and I have merged them together. The Emperor's army is still up to fighting strength. I strongly suggest that the Caesar fall back and help his father protect the city. We do not know how many more Jihad armies are out there.
For Kalameteros's army, I disbanded the Armenian Archers and recruited Trebizond Archers from Markianople.
Aleksios is moving towards Constantinople with his army.
Savva's army is gathering in Iconium to be used as Kalameteros wishes.
I took Pavlos up on his deal and disbanded his Armenian Cavalry in return for a Byzantine Cavalry at Tbilisi.
Building:
With Zigavinos's permission, I sold off the stables and mustering hall at Smyrna. I then started the process of having Smyrna change from a castle, to a town.
Nicosia started upgrading to a castle. We will need a recruitment center in the Levant and Nicosia makes the most sense due to it's secure location and relative level of development.
Foreign Affairs:
I sold trade rights and maps to the English for 2000 florins.
Wind power is the new best thing since sliced bread. I guess that's one use for a windmill...
We finished the mission to blockade Gaza and got 1000 florins.
We are the strongest Kingdom in the known world.
Domestic Affairs:
Annios was accepted into the royal family. (OOC: with Motep's permission.)
As I mentioned, Cairo revolted. Luckily, no one was hurt. The Crusaders will have to figure out what to do. I am hereby reclaiming all units out in the field in the provinces of Cairo and Alexandria. These army units are frozen until I say otherwise.
Vissa was checking up on the status of the Christian monuments by Thebes. Running low on supplies, he decided to take shelter in the castle. Banging on the door, the garrison ran out and was destroyed by Vissa. He took the settlement. I will take this chance to say that I am giving Vissa the province of Thebes.
There are rebels to the west of Kantakouzinos.
There are also rebels to the north of Thessa. I have given Nikolaos the use of 2 units of peasants. They are with him now and he can use them to defeat the rebel army.
OOC: 6 RBG's have been recruited. 3 in Corinth and 3 in Sofia.

Moved towards Dyarbarkir and pushed some Turkish Javelinmen off the road in the process.
Moved the Byzantine Cavalry from Tblisi to join with my Private Army. Would appreciate it if it arrives here.
