I am the bringer of pain, bearer of wrath, purveyor of destruction, reaper of souls. I am the Tyrant of Terror, the Prince of Darkness, and Death Incarnate.
Snuck a Night Fighter general with an all-cavalry stack to take the city of Baghdad. After destroying the Caliph and his garrison, my second stack joined the party and went night fighter on every single one of these fools.
The final stack falls...
After much bloodshed, my Prince Amir has 10 command stars and is brutally scarred. He wipes the entrails off of his body and annihilates the last of them.
After much battling, this is all that remains of me... and of them. I have nearly a full stack, they barely have 1.5, all depleted. They fought like children and ran like dogs.
43,000 florins is the reward for bravery.

Russia vs Scotland
Turn 22
Strategy: Blitz
Priority: (hidden)
Events since last report:
Russia has conquered Scandinavia, Arhus, Stettin, Thorn, Krakow, and several other provinces. A minor Scottish invasion force consisting of their faction leader and a .5 stack of heavy cavalry has been repelled. They flee now into Danish territory, or what remains of it.
In the meanwhile, Portugal, Spain, and England have taken advantage of Scotland's unwise gamble to invade Russian lands so early, and Scotland is having difficulty repelling the invaders.
Lesson of the day: Take care of the AI first, because wars against humans leave little troops to spare for defending your flanks from AI forces.
Scotland has contacted us regarding a concession, but I feel it is too soon in the war to offer unconditional surrender. We've even offered to suspend the war until they repel the invaders, and we've offered them Russian arms to assist if necessary. However, the strategic situation is clear. Russia is not threatened by any power, and we have crippled two factions already and have repelled a third. Scotland is crumbling before AI invaders.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Should they quit now, it would be understandable, but I take no pleasure in putting this game so prematurely in the win column for me.
Our twin stacks of Russian mafia are chasing down the Scottish invaders as we speak, and threatening to obliterate their allies in the process. Ranged and javelin horsemen, heavy spears, and 4 generals versus a half stack of heavy knights is not an even matchup. Still, I'd like them to fight a battle with me before conceding.
I'd like to once again thank all my challengers for the good fights they have given me. I may joke from time to time about wanting to annihilate your people, but I sincerely do appreciate the games I've played with all.

Oman vs Jerusalem
Turn 18
Strategy: Blitz
Current Priority: Seljuks
REPLAY GAME, 1-0 Oman
With the utter annihilation of our main forces at Aleppo, and the destruction of our reserve forces at the Edessa fortification, the battle seems to be swinging back in Jerusalem's favor. However, Jerusalem's forces are at half strength, while ours continues to grow overall.
We now have three full stacks of reserve units, one of which just took Kermanshah (Seljuk), and is beseiging another Seljuk fortress. The war against the Seljuks is now irreversibly in our favor, we will utterly annihilate them.
the Abassids are helpessly stuck in their final province, with enough troops to deter a direct assault... for now. But once my forces are in range, they are doomed.
Should Jerusalem advance, their spies will take heavy hits from our counterspies, and if they succeed in taking Edessa, they will be holding already-sacked and totally worthless territory we can easily afford to lose, and they will also be placing their forces dangerously close to mine. As such, we do not fear an invasion by crusader forces at all. Let them come... let them come...
Their blood will paint the way to the future!

Turn 12
Strategy: Blitz
Current Priority: Turks
Mosul has fallen. Baghdad is next. The Turks' main holdings are not under threat, but the war is entirely in our favor. With our superior navy and the endless horde of infantry and cavalry I've spawned, it is only a matter of time.
Meanwhile, our forward positions in Ragusa have advanced. The Venetians have assembled a mighty force of italian troops and mailed knights which we are not foolish enough to attack directly as they have a superior tactical position. However, we have enormous reserves coming from Thessalonica; the Istanbul invasion force.
We have one large stack of troops en prise from pirates in the red sea, they have a chance to destroy our boat which will sink a rather heavy investment of jihadis moving from Jedda. These are the risks I am willing to take. Should they succeed, we will simply form another stack of troops closer to the front line with the money I save.
We are now allied with the infidels in Sicily. Should they attack us now, their reputation will take a hit, and their navies no longer have zone of control advantages. Our alliance with them is nothing more than a tactical trump card, and we do not even hide it.

Their invasion fleet at Algiers scampered away like a bunch of cowards. No sign of any resistance from France, Milan, or the Holy Roman Empire.
Editor's note: Please program the AI to engage in kamikaze attacks. If I am at war with a nation they should attempt to attack me if they are even close to the same strength forces.
I feel confident that this war will go very well. We have begun conversion of Catholic Iberia, and we've managed to build the basic infrastructure blitzers require:
Castles, ports, roads, religious buildings, spy buildings.
What else could you possibly need?

Palermo is under seige. We destroyed roughly half of the crusader force, but two generals with night fighter made it impossible to win the battle outright.
Still, I'd rather take half of them with me, rather than lose a simple auto-resolve. Cornered, this rat has teeth.
The Second Battle of Durazzo, in the War Against the Crusade
Hopelessly outnumbered, the Egyptian forces sally forth to teach the Sicilian fools a lesson about ever daring to attack Askthepizzaguy the Most Merciless.
Nearly half of their invasion force lay dead this day. We lost the battle, but to the last man we fought. This is a phyrric victory for our opponents. Next time they will not be so lucky.
Meanwhile, their capital is under seige. We will repay their betrayal with the blood of their women and children. Death comes soon for these traitors!
I estimate that this war is still in our favor, unless Sicily can repel our invasion force.
We have sufficient defenses in Constantinople, and in a few turns a Jihad will finish them. Meanwhile, Sicily will endure much bloodshed on their core territory.

In the Year 1118 of the Christian Calendar....
Long have the mighty armies of the Egyptian Caliphate held back their religious fervor...
Long have the Holy Warriors of Islam born the insults of Crusaders attacking their lands.....
Long have we tolerated the existence of the Sicilian, a name now synonymous with Traitor.
We will tolerate their unwashed existence no longer, on our soil or on any other. They have now been targeted for extermination.
They have offended Allah with their false religion and their unholy war against us.
Now the time has come to bury our knives deep into the belly of the infidel....
In the Year 1118 of the Christian Calendar, Mahfouz the Great Imam spoke with Allah... after many seasons of prayer, Allah had said nothing.
Now, Allah spoke... and smiled upon Mahfouz and the plight of the pious Egyptian warriors. Now there would be a Holy Jihad declared against the infidel. Now... we would have our revenge.
The Fortress of Palermo was the first to fall, and our mighty army there joined the Jihad, and destroyed the Crusader that walked the Island of Sicily. Then they landed in Tunis and laid seige to the infidels there.
The fort near Naples, where the Infidel had sallied forth unsuccessfully last turn, was captured and the Infidels there were burned and buried alive. They set sail for Corsica and Sardinia after joining the jihad.
A captain in Corinth commanded 3 mighty Malmuk Horse Archers, some peasants, and some javelinmen and killed the Infidel King Roger of Sicily, hated Crusader. He was promoted the same day to the rank of Malik.
The large army which had just taken the Turkish capital of Ikonion last turn joined the jihad, and a second general also joined the jihad there, forming another large force. Our Imams stormed into former Byzantine lands.
Another large army took Tbilisi, and was about to join the jihad.
Another large force formed in Gaza and joined the jihad.
In total, over 6 mighty hordes of Islamic warriors declared that they would pledge their lives to the erradication of the Sicilian Infidel, and the target of the Jihad was to be that second bastion of pagan thought, Paris.
No longer would the armies of Islam tolerate the Christian scum... now they would all die...
Let the blood of the infidel run in rivers and turn the oceans red.
