Beat some Venetians, beat some Milanese - battle reports coming up
recruited a bunch of mercs and some regulars - Cecil, I've sent you another pm coz my finances are all messed up and I thought I'd make it easy on you and give you all the numbers in one place
defeated a hungarian army and executed the prisoners, no need for hired mercenaries thanks to the help of Hers Merode and von Essen. My lord Prinz, I request that you lond me any troops available from Wien for further action against the Hungarians. I am recruiting men of my own but they will be to few to do anything but defend Budapest for the time being.

Total = 1520
As per my upcoming announcement in the Diet, Von Essen and the spies are now off my books and I no longer receive the income for Innsbruck.
Also Merode is now to be a member of the House of Brandenburg-Bohemia and the Margrave should pay his wage.
Herden's BG wages should be paid for on his own account (supported by the income from Budapest).
AND I accepted an adoption so we have a new avatar and member of Osterreich

Fought a battle, retrained 2 of my cavalry and put 1 unit of peasant archers up for recruitment. Also hired one mercenary unit of crossbowmen.
Here's the new save.
Taking the save
recruited one unit of spear militia, and moved my army south towards Ragusa. I simply moved the army away from Merode as he is no longer under my command, but he i now in the field with no men so he will need to be moved for his won safety. (There are some rebels right next to him, he should feel free to fight them if he wants, I certainly would not object to some help clearing my lands on his way north.)

Cecil, is it possible to see what the Marshall's budget looks like on a turn by turn basis? Maybe you could add another line into the spreadsheet? I guess it would be 927 this turn right (10% of province income across the board?)

EDIT : save is back.. Nothing chyanged... My computer crashed when I was two minutes from finishing the defenders of Milan... I even had some nice screenshots in the fog...
I'm pretty cursed this turn...
Will have to get back to this later
In that case, I'll see if I can get it this time.
Did a few things. My spy infiltrated Stettin and revealed that the Polish king was present there with a garrison that Theodericus could take care of. Unfortunately, the Pope's threat of excommunication if he attacked stayed the Margrave's hand. Instead, he stayed put, retrained and expanded his army in Magdeburg while sending the Bohemian regiments to Prague for the same.
He also (finally) started raising one cavalry regiment for the Osterreich. They will be ready to leave Magdeburg next turn, and should be entirely paid for by the Prinz as agreed.
Finally I put a grain exchange into the building queue of Prague for 1000 florins.
Here's the save.
Taking save (for good I hope...)
Save is back... Took longer than I thought but I had to fight two battles in a row
Milan has fallen to the forces of Provence... Northern Italy is unified under one rule. (No men from Prinz Leopold's army were used or harmed in the assault... They joined the battle as reinforcements but as I had control over them I let them stand by the sideline). Only 6 men of Prinz Lothar's army have been lost in the assault.
8635 florins were discovered in the merchant council coffers and added to the Principality's treasury in Genoa. A further ransom of 300 fl. was rejected.
Genoa has also been freed of the Venetian threat though at a greater cost. A ransom of some 1900 fl. was rejected by the Venetians. Genoa has gained the named of "Crown of Swords" for it is now crowned by two heroic victory markers...
Need to do some editing on pics and I'll be sure to post a few here and do a battle report this time around, though it will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest.
The Butcher's bills :
Also I moved 3 units of Town militia from Marseille to Genoa, though they couldn't reach it this turn and recruited one more unit of TM in Genoa for 279 fl and retrained one unit of Merc Xbow for 122 fl.
EDIT: here it is
The Prinz and his army enters the city of Genoa and declares war on Lothar Zirn, forcing him to fight for his life.

Could I please have a report of what the Reichsmarashal's current funds are. I am looking to build a force for the defense of the Reich from various provinces but do not know the funds available to me.
I have the save and will attempt to get it done after I've taken a nap. Just did a whole 3.5 hours worth of host-related duties. Sincere apologies for the delay.
no problem, I can't do it till i know how much money I have. I'm fine with doing the math but I don't know how much the position had when I took it over.

Here are the announcements for this season:
- Enroute to Prague, Captain Athawolf's men were attacked by a Polish army. After some fighting they were able to retreat, but lost half their numbers. They have reorganized into one regiment and are now in Prague.
- A young nobleman named Ulrich von Bohmen has been offered as a daughter to the Imperial Princess Fridewiga. Regarding this decision, it should be noted that the Reich currently has no means with which to recruit diplomats.
- Representatives of the Thieves' Guild have come forth and offered to establish themselves as the preeminent guild in Milan.
- The Reich is seen ast eh most advanced realm in the world. No other realm can claim to have so rich a culture, or so many a wise scholar to further their people's greatness.
- The population of Marseille has now reacehd a point where it may be upgraded into a large town. This will open up new construction options, which in turn will lead to new recruitment options as well. To do this you must upgrade your wooden Palisade to a Wooden Wall. You do not have to do this immediately, but as teh population increases further, overcrowding will eventually start to increase squalor levels and slow down growth.
- You have greatly pleased His Holiness by refraining from hostile actions against your fellow Christians, the French. He only hopes this newfound peace will last.

Event Three: Rebellion, Again
Things have come to a head in Italy. Count Lothar Zirn, the rebel who has been making quite a name for himself, has at last come face to face with opposition in the form of Prince Leopold, whose march south to defeat the Milanese has now turned into something more.
Although Count Lothar was able to seize Milan in a daring nighttime raid, the close proximity of Prince Leopold told him that it was better to leave as quickly as he had arrived. After a round of looting and pillaging, he left and returned to Genoa. But Leopold was not one to dawdle either, and after leaving a skeleton garrision he continued onwards towards Genoa as well, vowing that Lothar would finally be brought to justice.
Although Lothar arrived at Genoa first, the city was under the suzerainity of the Kaiser after he invoked his privalege at the last Diet. As a result, he was unable to compel the local garrison to prevent Prince Leopold from entering the city as well. Now that both forces are present, a battle seems inevitable.
But at what cost? Milan is much weakened now to be sure, scattered between Navarra, Corsica and the Swiss Cantons. But Duke Giorgio is not yet beaten, and even now raises a new army in Bern. Innsbruck may fall once again. What's worse, the Venetians have already taken advantage and laid siege to Milan and it's skeleton garrison. Can the Reich afford this destructive conflict?
During this event, the rules will be modified in the following way:
Players who are at war no longer take the save as normal. Instead, those at war must PM the GM with their orders each turn, including recruitment, construction, movement etc. The GM will implement the orders simultaneously at the end of the turn, and PM the partcipants the results.
The link to the save doesn't work I'm afraid.
Sorry I'm such a n00b but how does this work now? Do I need to pm you something other than "I attack Lothar Zirn" to get things rolling?
Taking the save.
New save is here.
Did some retraining and moved out the cavalry for Jens Herden under captain Jonas. They are now outside of Nuremberg, and until a time comes when I feel I need to recall them, I will hand over the control to Prinz Leopold, or anyone else he would prefer.

The Reichsmarshall has recruited one unit of spear militia (320) in Budapest with the permission of himself, leaving his funds at 2459.
Jens Herden has trained one unit of town militia at Budapest (310) and hired one unit of mercenary crossbowmen (860). This leaves his funds at 1519.
Jens Herden has also donated 1 unit of mercenary crossbowmen and 1 unit of spear militia to the army of the Reichsmarshall and consolidated the troops of both his positions in the city of Budapest.

Here are the announcements for this season:
- King Zbigniew of Poland has truly fallen out of favour with the Pope, who has deemed it necessary to excommunicate him from the Catholic church. While this does not serve as an immediate threat to this Christian lord's position, it is likely that he will soon be at odds with both his people and other more pious Catholic rulers.
- Marseille has completed construction of a Wooden Wall, and Prague of a Grain Exchange.
- Reports are coming in from across Western Europe of engineers who have created a miracle mill that requires no stream or river to power it. Supposedly, man has found a way to let the very winds themselves drive massive mill mechanisms, simply by catching it in sails on beams of wood. While the Windmill's effectiveness reportedly dies as the winds do, to those living far from running water, it is sure to be considered a Godsend.
- Prague has been surrounded by Polish forces and is held under siege. Though safe for the moment, there is no telling whether or not your foes will assault the walls soon, or attempt to starve your defenders out. Perhaps acting first may take your foes by surprise...
- As Poland has been excommunicated, it matters little how much of their faithless blood you spill. You are no longer charged with ceasing hostilities with this faction.

Margrave Theodericus der Bartige has left a small army (soon to be aided by new spearmen and archer recruits) in Magdeburg under Harold Merode and marched to relieve Prague. Taking his by now infamous cavalry regiments with him, he has ridden in front of the rest of his army, forced a fight with the Polish besiegers and won a clear victory. The ransom was set at 1540 florins, but it was rejected, and the scum have been executed. Good.

okay, given the other member's of my house's absence I have assumed they granted me recruitment rights and done so. I have also had von Essen take and sack Zagreb (2464 florins) as he had done that before we had to replay.

The siege of Magdeburg has been ended by Margrave Theodericus der Bartige. By attacking during heavy snowfall, the cowardly enemy didn't dare stay on the field but fled back to Stettin. This has made Theodericus feel more respected, thus improving his loyalty, but it has also worsened our relations with the Poles: they are now considered abysmal, as if they weren't that already.
The save can be found right here.

And after three battle's of Zagreb I finally manage to accidentally kill a general. Pity it wasn't mine. :sweatdrop: Von Magdeburg fell bravely dueling the Hungarian Lord that met us in the city.
Zagreb sacked for 2557. 1278 to the Reichsmarshall as required. An additional 500 to Lord Jens for his roads. If I have calculated correctly that leaves me 2222 between the money from sacking Zagreb and my own personal treasury.
