massive trench warfare. it already is kinda and its just more massive in 2 rounds already. sheer power in numbers will make the difference. so either the mongols will seal the deal or the western forces. whoever arrives the scene first. and as this one army group of the mongols made a u turn down south into iraq already with a spearhead down to basra it probably is the mongols who ll arrive first
moors up whoever moor is

I don't think that will be a problem, welcome to the game!
Thank you, is this pretty much all vs the mongols/fatmids? All AI factions wiped out it seems, i will need a lot of map information since my information is OLD :D
kiev up
Welcome! I am glad to see you being so active. We need more newcomers like you :yes: For now it's everyone vs the Mongols and Fatamids yes. The Mongols need to go because any one nation would be unable to stop them one on one, and their victory conditions can allow them to win quickly if left unchecked.
The Fatamids need to go because Zim was the first backstabber in our midst. Word of warning though, he won't be the last :laugh4:
Welcome Mithridate!
Kwazies up!

Hey everyone. This one is a little tricky to get a sub as I think Only Phonics would have the right grasp of where the game is. Mind if I get him to sub within the next day or so? He should be back shortly if I recall.
I'm fine with that!Quote:

Having a bit of a resurgence Myth? It won't last long
Ive heard theres an united anti-mongol front having a group session somewhere...
tMoF wonders why their all knowing leader is not part of it
Oh God, I prayeth the people be mad, for they speak of that which must not be! They speak of demons hiding in the woods near Pamplona, but so far our scouts have only been able to find Moorish trebuchets skulking about. Surely the new Moorish leader must be lost on his way to the Holy Lands, for to think of another betrayal to the cause is just too much to bear.
Attachment 4290
The Men Of Faith, lead by brave Tahyah will no longer tolerate Catholic influence in Iberia or Northwestern africa. Moorish rule shall be established and the old corrupt rulers removed. We hold no love for the French but will stay our hands should the French and men of the west accept our NAP for we need to deal with our misguided brothers in the east.
The Moorish armies shall unite with all against the Mongols and their ilk if we are given a guarantee of peace from France, HRE and England. First however, we shall take or recieve Palma, Zaragoza and Pamplona for Iberia, Algiers and Beleb el Anab from Northen Africa. The people have not yet decided regarding Tunis and the Byzantine claims further to the East. We have sent an army to Toulouse and will take the Castle hostage, returning it once our demands are met. Should our demands be accept before the castle falls, we shall abort the siege.
Accept our demands, and the west shall remain safe as we bring all our power to bear against the Fatmid. Reject, and we shall wage holy war on France and any who stands against us.
The people cry out to unite our lands once and for all, the ruling classes shall appease them. We know about the atrocities of the Mongols, the corruption and folly of our brethren. We desire to liberate the East, but can only do so once our demands are met and we hold whats rightfully ours.
u serious? :daisy: is that? man and it was me who said u was a good moor. i had that wrong. the nasty mongo herder did his thing. thats some nasty step :daisy: spell or whatever. shame man

Accept my demands, and you will gain a devoted ally. Refuse me and I will take the land anyway, then fight tooth and nail to keep them while the East continues to grow.
Five regions will make the difference between a great nation in arms with, or against you. Five regions may determine the outcome of the east, the outcome for Europe.
Five regions and we shall bring divine wrath upon the Fatmid until they relent and cut their bonds with the Mongol hordes.
Nice blackmail attempt there Mithri
EDIT: sorry, technically it's extortion isn't it?
Id call it a little bit of both :) But extortion, yes.Quote:

The Imperial Ambassador stands to make an announcement to the other emissaries:
"My Holy Emperor would like to announce to the Kings and Queens of Europe and the near East that our Kingdom, the Western Roman Empire, has decided to sever all relations - both alliance and trade rights - with the Moors from this day onward. Such treaties will be officially be ended when a diplomat can be sent to verify our decision with a Moorish representative."
The Ambassador coughs to clear his throat, and speaks sternly to the Moorish emissary:
"I do not have to explain my Emperor's motives, as I am sure your own King is very much aware of them. Cancel your claims for all current French lands and pull back your armies - they belong in the far east where the real men of god are currently fighting to protect our good and kind-hearted liberties. Nations do not mistrust each other because they are armed; they are armed because they mistrust each other. If your King mistrusts us, I ask why your own men sit on the French borders whilst the other nations of Europe are now sending their armies east?"
Turning to face the other emissaries, smiling at the French ambassador whilst doing so, makes another announcement in his bellowing voice:
"I now urge all other leaders in Europe to follow in my footsteps and to consider canceling any trade rights they have with the Moors. I do wish to make it clear though, that, should the Moors renounce any claims they may have to French lands, all trade rights and general friendly relations between our nations and the Moors should be restored to it's former self."
He turns back to the Moor, his face looking rather solemn:
"You have my word on that."
We will not back down from our claims, should the masters of Europe wish to negotiate terms however...
What is demanded is rightfully ours, former Aragon lands AND ancestral Moorish lands!
Refusal will force us not only to invade, but exterminate the innocent misguided people in France.
Our choice to reclaim our rightful land has little to do with trust, the promise to bring our wrath to the east should you accept our demands has.
I must remind you, should you decide to ignore us and wage war with us. The East shall devour you from behind, while your armies shatters on our walls or sink to the bottom of the oceans!
You cannot stop us from taking what is ours, you can however prevent us from taking more while also make us your devoted allies.
u guys knew that with the forum twitter style thing theres no email after all. if it wasnt for a pm that i came here i had no idea im acutally up. imo we better off with regular pms aint we. i probably got this up later today already
alright here it is already and that was a good round. the moor thing kinda is a bummer but anyways. im positive that france will succeed

PM me should you wish to begin negotiations, ill play as soon as i can!
Zaragoza, pamplona, Palma, Algiers and Tolouse taken.
Tolouse have not been exterminated as a sign of goodwill from the moors, should we still be refused when the next season arrives... exterminations await.
For the last time, accept our demands. We shall not ask again.
kiev up
France does not negotiate with terrorist. The Moors have no rightful claims to the lands of France, and have had no disagreement before now about our borders. Until madness relinquishes its hold and reason returned to the throne of the moors, there will be no negotiations. If I die, I go a free man, not a slave to the Mongolians or their puppets! Donne-moi la liberté ou donnez-moi la mort!

It seems the Moorish King is the delusional one, how can you expect anyone to trust you, when you fight against the cause of a unified anti-mongol front. It is clear to all now that you are an agent of chaos and a puppet to the mongols. Enjoy your victories while you can, it will not last long.
i was under the impression that the moors were the ones who engaged hostilities, as a message from the french king clearly states that you hid weapons of war on french landsQuote:

This is false, the trebs was in our barcelonian territory. Your request shall be granted and you have my word that they shall pass safely, it is true we drew first blood.But we made our intent clear first and gave france a chance for peace before doing so.Quote:

Submit, or be destroyed.
OOC pretty sure i sent an in game message to England when i played my first turn, need him to confirm though... And i suggest you meet the moorish demands for your own and europes sake, you have already lost the contested regions (except one large town, although we took Tolouse). God speed to your archer army, and hidden army. They will need it.
I do hope the mongols take advantage of this, but know it was and still is my intention to fight the east.
It was well more then just trebuches found hiding in the woods, including one of your own family, besides if they weren't planning to attack, there would have been no need for them to hide in range of a french castle.
I am doing what is best for my people's sake, they would rather die in honorable battle here then live long enough to suffer through the Mongolian victory you have set motion.
Amusing as this is to observe, I'm not sure it helps me much beyond potentially stopping some western armies from travelling the long distances to the east to fight me as quickly as they would otherwise.Quote:

@LooseCannon1, Seljuks are up. The guys in the fort near Gorgan can't move this turn.
I killed Turks, Rus and Khwarezm this turn, took some cities, moved my hordes steadily west, assassinated a Seljuk lordling....but my favourite thing of all was fighting the battle where Genghis Khan killed Saladin.
This is why I love Total War!
Does not compute :stare:Quote:

He screamed once more, a petulant cry to his pagan god and a final arrow pierced his throat. Silencing forever one of the most evil men in history, his remains were feed to the dogs, and the bones scattered in the wind. Yes, it was a great day
France up France up
The Moorish Caliph put his ear to the ground, awaiting the wail from the hordes with a cruel smile on his old withered face
Soon, you shall be joined by more heathens Timujin... soon... Yet all he hears is the loud noise of his Caliphate.
Around him, the Armies of moor descend upon France, cries of feverish ecstasy drowning even the hooves and heavy steps of the army.
Soon...
Vengeance is yours! Well played, I was hoping my fort spam would slow you down enough that you couldn't reach him in one turn...Quote:

You offer peace, and the trade of Toulouse for the last French-African settlement you demanded…” the French diplomat grits his teeth, then falls to his knees in despair, “…And you shall have it.” From his clutched hand falls the agreement, the French Grandmaster’s signature clearly visible.
@Mithridate
“Oh, there is just one other thing,” the Frenchman looks up ginning, “a little something my lord requests, before he will accept any lasting peace with the Moors. I mean you understand right? He’s not asking much, just a token really, a trifle; what he wants from you is your Caliph. More precisely, he wants to see the Caliph's bones salted and burned; to make sure whatever evil that possesses him never returns, of course.”
Your turn @Rougeman :)

You jest sons of france? We thought you kept fools for such things, but perhaps we should not be surprised...
Certainly, we shall provide his bones for your pleasure. Will you oblige to our demands and swear a holy vow to keep the peace?
@Thanatos Eclipse
We will not trade regions should you refuse, the war would go on
@Mithridate
The Frenchman laughs, “You caught me, I do jest, and on that note, the ashes should reach your heir within the day. Lord knows the devil loves to play, and now he’s got two puppets. Almost a complete set; a Khan, a Caliph, and that just leaves a Sultan…
Now for our counter proposal: with your generous gift of Toulouse, my Lords sees that the Moors might not be all currupt yet. You just give France back the rest of her lands and we can all frolic off to the east and fight the Mongols together like the fairy tale the Moors claim to want. We won’t even interfere if the Moors decide to negotiate with the Papacy for the return of the new Vatican.
Oh that reminds me, France has been reconciled with His Most Holy Eminence, all for the small price of a new home for the Church; which we thank the Moors very much for generously providing.”
