Since the last post we have 253 years left so...
Assuming each king lives ~70 yrs we can...
8*70=560 yrs......
Nope, I might be able to play in that late age King of England one that I've heard about starting.
actually a kings regin tends to last on average of 30-40 years

OK, 35*8=280. Two people would still have to kill their kings to allow me a seven year reign. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/frown.gif
Striker, you've had the game for a week. What's going on?
Doge Enrico - if we don't hear anything from Striker in a couple of days, I will post you the savegame. I don't want this thread to die out prematurely like the King of England one.
i think you should send it to him today, Striker has had it too long as it is. This will give people incentive to at least post on where you're up to and not just hold onto it for a week and not update anyone with whats going on.
Hi all.
I wanna be in when my turn arrived.
My mail is
aleborg@hotmail.com

OK, since we have not heard from Striker, I'm e-mailing my end of reign save game to Doge Enrico.
Sounds like a good idea, get the thing rolling again.
Thanks Simon, save game recieved.
Save game sent to chilling. I'll rite up my reign soon.
Save received. I'll not be able to have a look until tomorrow.
been gone to england for 10 days and no other kings have ruled http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/confused.gif
Lee Jackson: Now where have I heard that sort of statement before...
Seriously, Doge Enrico II will be posting soon. He played the game out and everything. I just hope Chilling doesn't beat him to it. That might be confusing. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
I've only played 3 years so far but my king is now 64. I'm hoping he'll last the next 7 years so his heir can mature and the next player can get a nice long reign.
Promise to raid and plunder http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif
Then incest the Royal line http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/smokin.gif

Big Mongol Head the II
Son, come here.
The voice belonged to King Leszek I of Poland. He lay in a bed in a dank room of Krakow Castle, feeble and broken. His son, Mieszko, stepped forward, out of the shadows and away from his three brothers, Boleslaw, Kazimierz, and Wladyslaw.
“As you know my son, I have smallpox, a deadly disease. I don’t know how long I shall still live. But while I still live, I bequeath to you my realm. Your realm is no longer meek and small, but large and very strong. But before you can be crowned, you must learn of my reign and what you will from it.”
Mieszko took a seat right next to his father’s bed, and began to listen.
“Here is my story:
1201: I married your mother Ade, a princess of Hungary and began an extensive building program.
1202: Your mother gave birth to you and many of my buildings were finished.
1205: I resisted the Devil’s temptation to make Byzantium.
1206: Shunned an offer to have Egypt as an ally.
1209: I refused an alliance with the English.
1212: I secured an alliance while securing another son who I named after my father.
1213: I ended my alliance with the Spaniards.
1214: I allied with the evil Seljuk Turks, not one of my most noteworthy accomplishments.
1217: I finally gave in to temptation and allied with Byzantium.
1220: One of my agents reported the appearance of an Asiatic threat of vast numbers, and a mobilization like the world had never seen began, and I once again refused to ally with the English.
1221: I once again became an ally of the Spanish kingdom.
1222: I refused the offer of a French alliance.
1224: I listened to my conscience and ended my alliance with Byzantium and refused France.
1228: I turned away an Egyptian emissary and his offer of an alliance.
1229: I accepted the thought of an alliance with Egypt.
1230: 'The horde of the Tartars is numberless. When one is killed, another ten spring from the hell whence he came. each of them has the head of a dog, and carries with him sufficient weapons for three or four warriors.'
So wrote Benedict the Pole, and he had every reason to be fearful, even if he had confused Tartars with Mongols. The Golden Horde were more terrible than anything he could have wished to see: cruel, uncompromising, and the most efficient military force since the Caesars. They erased cities, slaughtered thousands, and enslaved any survivors.
The Mongols appeared in Khazaria with a force of 1331 troops to our mere 7171. But even out numbered we prevailed and we destroyed the Mongols. It was our greatest victory.
1236: French and Sicilian alliance offers snubbed.
1238: We attacked my wife’s brother, the King of Hungary with a four-pronged attack.
1239: We took Moldavia(from Egypt), Hungary, Carpathia, and Wallachia.
1240: Croatia was taken.
1241: I finally allied with the Sicilians and a siege relief of Croatia failed.
1242: We attacked Serbia.
1243: We attacked Bohemia, and ceased fire with the Egyptians.
1244: Our scouts sent word that the Hungarian King had escaped to Swabia.
1246: We attacked Bavaria.
1247: Our traditional allies, the Danes, re-emerged.
1250: We attacked Hungary's last province, Swabia.
1251: We killed the Hungarian king along with his son-and-heir, eliminating the Hungarian faction.
1252: I allied with the Danes and attempted to bribe the Venetian rebels.
1253: The rebels took the whole of Venice.
1259: Gunpowder was discovered.
1260: The Danes were once again eliminated.
1261: The English were eliminated.
The current year is 1262. Good luck son.
With those being his last words, he rolled over onto his pillow and died.

HOLY SH*T
You reigned 60 years?? When I heard Chilling say that King Mieszko was 64 and 3 years in, I thought it was a brother ruling.
Great job with the Hungarians. Eliminating them is usually necessary for the Polish (or so I've heard). Any chance we can get the map soon?
Editor's reminder: I can host your image if necessary. jim@jimcee.com

King Mieszko III of Poland Age 61.
1263
I have come to the throne after my fathers long and eventful reign. My lands spread far and wide and monies are piled high in the treasury. I have 3 brothers and a son who at the age of 10 will become heir in 6 years. Althogh my realm spreads far it is poorly defended from civil dissobedience. I will immediately instruct my council to raise some civil defence and start a program of civil improvements. Interantionally France and Spain are having a dissagreement over the ownership of Champagne. I feel there Kings have a taste for the finer wines of this world.
1265
His Holyness the Pope calls upon the Polish people to help him with a little local difficulty he is having with the Sicilians. Of course being a loyal Catholic it would be inpolite to refuse his Holyness. Standing armies are given orders to make their way to the Papal states that the Sicilians occupy in defiance of his Holy Might.
1266
The Papal States are invaded. The Sicilians see the might of the Polish army advancing on the field and turn run like the craven cowards they are, surely the easiest victory that could be imagined. Never an arrow was let loose in anger, nor a sword drawn. This Sicilan King surely has no stomach for the fight. The feeble dog has holed himself up in his castle. Due to our action the Turkish and Egyptians choose to break off alliances with Poland.
1267
The Sicilain king finds some measure of backbone and confronts our beseiging army. What can only be described as a resounding victory for Poland ensues. The Sicilains are slaughtered, the few remaining units running back to the safety of the castle.
1268
In anticipation of a final stand Naples is invaded. The Sicilain forces that were defending the province move to the Papal States to hold a last stand with their King. Naples falls to the Polish. The Sicilians make a last stand in the Papal States and are roundly slaughtered. The Papal States fall to Poland as the Sicilain faction are eliminated. An Heir matures so our royal Polish line will continue into the future.
1269-1272
Qiet times in Poland. The building of the home defence is completed and our standing armies consolodated and positioned to disuade the Spanish from letting their war with the French spill over to Polish soil. Many Civil improvements are made.
1273
My only daughter marries the Spanish King. Lets hope this can cement our relations for many years to come. Not wanting to take on the Sanish who have a mighty army and only having borders with Catholic factions makes for Peacful living in Polish lands.
1276
The Spanish and French still war. The Spanish king Dies.
1279
Alliance with the Italians is dropped at the insistance of the Pope. There whereabouts is unknown to my royal crtographers at the present moment in time.
1280
With the continuing decline of the French empire the region of Franconia is just too tempting. We invade and are victorious. The Pope is none too happy and threatens excommunication. That would be too much of a blow as the Spanish would have free reign to attack.
1281
The castle of Franconia is attacked and defeated. No further attacks on the French can be instigated for 10 years by order of his Holyness.
1282-1288
Civic improvements and trade routes have been extended. our Purse is now 100,000 florins stronger and income has risen to 11,000 florins a year. The twilight of my reign beckons, the wind is chill and time short.
1289
The King is dead. Long live the King.

ok, got the save game, will start it as soon as im done with this essay
well its over.. the mighty King Casimin I is dead, after a glorious war.
In the year our Lord, 1289, a king ascended to the throne of Poland, a King who was set to change the face of Europes balance of power.
The first great act of King Casimin the First was to eradicate the pesky franks from his borderlands with his great ally of spain. This was a bold move, and the french quickly subcummed, and gave some small ground. The pope however was not pleased with the kings actions and excomunicated him from the most holy catholic Church. To ad insult to injury the pope sabotaged one of Polands shipping lanes the following year, forcing spain to cancel her relations with the mighty Poles.
After 2 years of border skirmishes, the King came forth and declared he had an hier, Prince Konrad. This was a bountiful time for the King, fo the following year, the Pope Died, and with him, his excommunication of Poland.
Back in the holy roman chuch once more, the King does awa with france in the years of turmoil following the change of papacy, and also a princess is born to the king.
Facing now across boders of rivers and hills Spain plotted behind her closed doors. The five year peace soon settled across Europe, with almost no battles occuring, and the wretched infedels in turkey being wiped out. The only other major event of these years of peace were the Revolts. Scotland removed themselves from the Spannish empire, this move also prompted some of the scotts allies in France to do likewise, though the french rebels were crushed, the Scotts remained. This was the first sign of Spains Waxing power.
In 1299 the Spannish king in all his arrogance attacked a polish trade route. Upon hearing this the princess' within spains borders began stirring the germanic people against thier masters, and a revolt occured on the Poland/Spain border in france, freeing up valuable polish troops to re-route south into northern italy.
over the next few year, poland took back more and more land, focing the inferior spannish armies back. Revolts occurd soon in spain and in some of africa, Spain crushed all but that in Tunisia, which in the following years would be spains undoing.
The War went well, with poland destroying many fleets in the great ocean, and in 1301 when the spannish king died, much of the Iberian peninsula and france had fallen to Poland and Germany.
In the east, the war raged as well. Great naval battles were fought for the bosporous, poland eventually perservered and conquered the seas. Then the land invasion begun. Poland took many tracts of land in the balkans, forcing spain back to constantinople. in a last ditch effort, spains pride and joy of the east attacked, a grand army of ten thousand men. Poland knew she had to retreat, and so faced a series of defeats, but each one whittling away at the spannish army.
Eventually poland fought back, reclaiming all her lost lands. And so that is where she stands now. During the war, some of the russian city-states saw fit to revolt from thier masters as well, and 4 new fiefdoms were set up, but thier riegn will only last as long as the next king deems worthy.
The secret to the poles success in this war was infrastructre. Upon the kings ascention, poland was lacking an navy capable of the inevitable war with Spain. The King put them on path to creating a mighty navy by building ports in the baltic and the black sea. Also, the plans were set to ground for the establishment of elite knights.
The face of europe has indeed changed. spain is no longer what she used to be. with the revolts in the west, and the loss of her grand eastern army, she stands on the brink of ruin. England and anatolia are all that remain of the once great empire, and Poland now stands firm, in her cradle of central europe, ready to deal out spains death blows. Who will conquer anatolia? the ever strengthening Egypt, freed from the yoke of spain? or will it be the poles, armies poised for a great invasion. The Iberian Penisula is divided into small petty kingdoms once more, and the pope struggles to keep his hat at the ever present poles.
oh, and i need someone to host the pic for me
