It's the multiplayer campaign thread.

Cecil: It's IC.

You should join, AussieGiant. We're doing a hotseat multiplayer campaign with all battles autoresolved, and the HRE is still available.

Anyways... *ahem*

His majesty Alfonso VI, Emperor of all Spain reminds all that any interference in the internal politics of Iberia will be considered an act of war. This reminder stands in perpetuity.

king malcolm of scotland expresses his love of fine french cuisine and wishes to offer a scot-french alliance.

William, by the grace of God, King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Maine, wishes to state that any act of the Scots to ally themselves with the French shall be taken as a declaration of war and treated accordingly.

och laddie yer threats do neigh bother us highlanders our great king has not even bothered writing a reply he's told me his loyal scribe to write a reply to go with the tennis balls cos maybe you could beat us at that. OOC please excuse rubbish attempt at scottish accent i'm afraid you're stuck with it.

King Wladyslaw of Poland wishes to make it known that he believes all Catholic nations should unify under one banner to bring the known world under one church. In accordance with this, he has sent notices of peaceable intent to Spain, Portugal, France, England, Scotland, Sicily, Venice, Milan, The Holy Roman Empire, Denmark, and Hungary. These peoples have his surety that no Polish troops shall march into their lands for any reason for the length of his rule.

Though the good King is certain such caution is not needed among good Christian men, he adds that hostile acts will be answered in kind.

King Roger of Sicily is of the same mindset as King Wladyslaw and welcomes any other Christians to join into a holy alliance against the heathens in the east.

However, he would also like to warn that any interference of Sicilian expansions on nearby islands will be frowned upon and may have consequences.

King Knud of Denmark wishes to make an alliance with England for mutual protection in the waters of the North Sea and beyond.

William, by the grace of God, King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Maine, accepts the offer of the Danes.

King Wladyslaw of Poland is pleased to announce the formation of the Catholic League, a collection of nations which have forsworn violence against their fellow Catholics and whose avowed purpose is to bring Catholicism to all the peoples of the known world. Our misguided brethern of the Orthodox church and the Muslim infidels must be brought into the light of God under the Papacy. Members of the league must:

1. Forswear aggressive military action against fellow Catholic nations. Lands that stand in rebellion, or under the sway of other beliefs are fair game.

2. Not be excommunicated or allied to an excommunicated nation.

3. Battle heresy everywhere it can be found.

4. Answer all calls to Crusade.

5. Aid one another against attacks by foreign faiths.

In particular the King would invite the kingdoms of Sicily and Spain to join the league, and an alliance with Poland, as they stand most at threat from the depredations of Islam. All other realms are equally welcome, provided they can answer to the conditions above in good faith.

(edit: spelling ;) )

The King of Sicily accepts the conditions under the premise, that other Catholic aggressors must be brought back to the light, by force if necessary.

It is much to be hoped that there will be no aggression between Catholic states, however, in the unfortunate event of such the League's charter cannot require that other league members provide military aid against fellow Catholics, but of course nor will it bar it's members from doing so. Furthermore, the League will prevail upon the Pope to try to keep conflicts between Catholics from growing in all cases.

(As an OOC note, the league will function just like any other alliance in game, only with it's mission statement of conquering non-Catholics and aiding Catholics against them on top. Once you're in, you're not going to get kicked out for anything short of excommunication. If we get a few members we'll plan ways to increase our Pope-o-meter mutually and vote on crusade targets, etc.)

Then Sicily will be a brother in arms with the noble Poles.

King Knud will join the Catholic League.

(this is assuming my Russian application was successful, otherwise ignore this)

Grand Duke Yesovold of Russia is open to all alliances and would hope that all catholics will put aside the small differences between the catholic and orthodox religions and refrain from any wars with the Russians.

OOC: If only I could change religion lol, I won't stand a chance against the catholic league

Polish diplomats will be dispatched to your lands as rapidly as they can be trained. :2thumbsup:

(As for Russia, you can convert! Just let Catholic priests have free reign in your lands while not training any Orthodox priests or building Orthodox churches. What's the worst that could happen? :laugh4:

Seriously though, if a human player takes a Muslim nation we'll need a Catholic league or something similar as a shield against the power of Jihad.)

OOC: I think Catholic League is a cool idea, but not fair.

OOC: Oh no, it's definitely not fair, but the campaign map isn't balanced for fair MP, even in single battle MP the units aren't comprehensively balanced. It's just not a fair game all around. I mean, take a look at the HRE. If Ichigo decides to steamroll one of us nearby, it's a done deal; only the possibility of an attack from the other side might prevent it, and probably not for long. I'm betting we can all find a way to have fun, even if it's not fair.

I don't know if anyone here has played the board game Diplomacy, but I imagine this playing out a bit like that. You're not going to win or lose in a fair fight because the auto-calc takes that away anyway, you're going to have to outnumber and out think your opponent, unless you can trick him into doing something silly. The key is to have fun despite that. :juggle2:

OOC: yeah if all the catholics teamed up then they could easily take over the world and factions like the HRE would soon run out of provinces to capture other than sailing miles away

but i suppose it would stil be fun trying to hold off hordes of catholics

I throw down the gauntlet to you, Philippe, King of the Franks! You have insulted my son and heir, and thus me.

When you have learned your lesson I am more than willing to come to terms, but as equals, not as vasssl to liegelord, for you have done me great evil this day.

William, by the grace of God, King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Maine.

king malcolm of scotland wises to express peaceable intentions to all factions other than the people of the duke of Normandy and wishes to join the catholic league after said peope are eating haggis under highland rule.

I have great satisfaction in reporting that Angers has fallen to my son Robert.

I trust Philippe will soon turn to reason and apologise.

William, by the grace of God, King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Maine.

King Knud expresses his desire that the Holy Roman Empire fall back from the region of Hamburg. In return, the Kingdom of Denmark shall secure Oslo for the Germans.

ooc bump and scotland and england are i beleve at war so i would like to offer de william of Normandy a chance to become vassels to scotland for 2000 florins and london(when i get it)

You well chewed scraps of bile are better thrown to dogs than to Normans. Nevertheless, we will force you to accept our rule over the our rightful inheritance.

William, by the grace of God, King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Maine.

Messengers go out to the kings halls:

My Lords, the Kingdom of Denmark's new advisor, pevergreen, announces that aid will come to their allies, England. Any attack against England will be an attack against Denmark.

King Roger of Sicily wishes to extend an offer of alliance to Emperor Heinrich of the Holy Roman Empire.

I will gladly accept your offer King Roger.

King Roger wishes to express his gratitude and will be sending his daughter Matilda to initiate contact with Emperor Heinrich at Bologna the next year.

Poland is pleased to offer an exchange of trade rights and maps with Germany and is open to further discussions if required.

King Malcolm of Scotland wishes to offer an alliance with the holy Roman emperor.

The Grand Duke of Novgorod wishes to form an alliance with the mighty King of Denmark

Deleted...

OOC : I had not taken a good look at the save before posting...

To Malcolm, King of Scotland :
We gladly accept your offer of alliance, hoping to get rid of the english scum...

To Emperor Heinrich, Last of the Romans :
We hope you will find profitable to accept the offer of alliance of King Malcolm of Scotland. Know that we add our offer of alliance against the Anglo-Dane axis of evil...
A marriage might even be arranged with our reknown and beautiful daughter Constance...

To King Wladyslaw of Poland :
We thank you for giving birth to the great hope of a Catholic League. France will join gratefully the League if the Anglo-Danes appetites for destruction can be sated in blood...

To the King of Spain :
We would like to extend our hand and hope we can agree on a status quo or maybe an alliance, as we have enough on our plate at the moment and Spain being free from northern threats can then turn its might to defeating the Moorish infidels...

Lastly, to William, King of England :Hell will freeze over before we give you any apology for any insult your heir might have suffered...
Know that your son Robert is at our mercy, being besieged in the forts that should have helped him delay our forces in retaking Angers... Moreover, your son is now isolated in enemy territory as our forces have taken Caen from English hands, thus making Normandy once again a vassal of France...
Surrender Angers to our forces and we will allow your heir safe passage to England... Otherwise, the Gates of Hell will open and its minions will greet their new plaything...
Ask the counsel of your son Robert as is now "wary of the French"...

I graciously accept your offer, though we see no reason at the moment to wage war on the English people.

As much as we despise your terms, Philippe, we shall agree. But this is not a truce. In return, none of us shall enter each other's lands for 2 turns. I trust you agree.

William, by the grace of God, King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Maine.

OOC : Two turns might not be enough to get your heir out of the country, let's make it two turns once he has embarked to England...

I promise you on my honor, may God be my witness, that no harm shall befall your son and his men until he's reached Albion once again...
However shall he ever set foot again on French soil, no plea will ever save him, our mercy is not limitless...

Do you wish us to have a ceasefire or would you rather remain in a state of war ?

We're glad of your agreement, we had no wish to lead you to war with the English unless you wanted to expand northwards...

Hail to you, Lords of Christianity,
From the northern frozen wastes to sun-drenched southern lands, from the western Isls to the eastern steppes,

We call on you to be witnesses to the agreement between William, King of England, and Philippe, King of France,

The agreement stands as this :

William, King of England, will call back to England all troops on French soil and promise not to return until four years (OOC : 2 turns) after they have reached the sands of Albion. The Castle of Angers will be returned to the French crown.
We, Philippe, guarantee the safe passage of said troops to England and promise not to bear arms for said four years against England.

May the Lords of Christianity and His Holiness be witness of that agreement.

Should any party fail they should incur the wrath of all Christianity...

Hail, King Knud,

You might want to reconsider your position as England was the agressor in this war and is now on the losing side...

Wishing good advice from our Lord,

King Philippe

King William of England,

One last reminder :

Be sure to leave our castle of Angers in the pristine condition you found it in, should any building be razed or burned to the ground, we would consider our agreement null and void and your men will be fair game...

King Wladyslaw the Chivalrous is pleased to issue an invitation to King Knud of the Danes to officially join the Catholic League (And exchange trade rights and maps).

In the name of avoiding accidental conflict the King further instructs me to announce the following:

A lovely Hungarian princess has wed his son and called a permanant alliance into being between Poland and Hungary; any attack on the Hungarian people will be regarded as an attack against Poland herself.

The village of Breslau has submitted to Polish rule and the lands there-about are under the King's protection.

Acts of provocation from rebels in Prague have led to the King laying siege there with the intent of bringing their rebellion to an end.

The offer still stands

My dear friends, I wish to extend my gratitude to those who have put forward wishes to the Danes.

To the Duke of Novgorod, our apologies for missing your message. It is accepted, let us now figure out which one of our delegates will contract this alliance.

To the French and Scottish: You have beaten England in a fair fight. All is well now.

To Wladyslaw, your invitation must be turned down at this point. I am christian only to a level. My people are still not fully converted to the true faith. Once churches spread the land, the offer will be accepted.

:yes: Understood King Knud, your people are always welcome so long as they fall within the guidelines. King Wladyslaw wishes you good fortune in bringing your people to the light.

At King Philippe's noble suggestions I believe the first conclave of the Catholic League will be held in the coming year (OOC Just have to write the post really) with the intent of establishing a more noble goal for our Christian brothers than warring amongst themselves in the form of a Crusade. At the moment I believe France and Sicily are the only nations which have, in principle, accepted the Catholic League Charter and will be invited to attend.

(OOC: Sicily appears to have excellent influence with the Pope and there's no real reason to wait for the diplomats to get together and make it official except to avoid mishaps like accidental crusade ambushes. From a gameplay perspective a crusade will definitely spice things up as armies become intermixed and cross borders. Of course it all rests with FH really, so we'll see what King Roger has to say :yes: )

:egypt:

I think it might still be a bit early... Maybe a few years more might be in order to settle a few things first...

OOC: Sicily's influence is so high because of an alliance with the pope :grin:

IC: A crusade may be interesting considering that there is little space in Europe for my nation to expand to, as we already hold all of southern Italy, its isles and parts of Africa. I wish to delay such an announcement until the conference however, as some foreign troops have recently made landfall on one of our isles and in the event of war, I wish to call the crusade against them.

We would appear to have a clear consensus to wait a few more years (OOC a turn or three, no reason to hurry IMHO) before calling the conclave. Perhaps this will give more nations the chance to join the League and possibly influence the outcome?

:egypt:

Emissaries are sent to each Christian court bearing the same warning :

To all Christian Rulers,

Be advised that allying yourself with the Duke of Milan will be considered as a declaration of war against France.

Know that the deep invasion of our soil from the Milanese shall not go unpunished and any supporters of those attacks will incur the wrath of France.

Philippe
By the Grace of God
King of France

To all the courts of true Christian kings.

Let it be known that I, William, King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Maine, am absolved from my agreement with Malcolm, King of Scots, to hand over the castle at Nottingham, due to his un-Christian behaviour in the eyes of His Holiness and God.

I call upon all true Catholic kings to withdraw their support from the Scottish king, and support the true champion of the Christian faith in the lands of Britain.

William, by the grace of God, King of England, Duke of Normandy(titular), Count of Maine(titular).

My Lords, True Followers of the Cross,

I prevail upon you not to be dragged in a unjust war against Scotland...

William, our unruly vassal, wishes to make you forget that he himself is not far from excommunication, dragging us to the brink of Hell's domain mainly through the war that he himself started against us and that has seen him almost defeated... His ruin is only a prolonged issue...

Now he adds parjury to his many sins and he the King of Sinners wishes to lead you in a "Holy War" in nothing but name...

Let wisdom rule your decisions as I know it will

The King of Denmark accepted the trade rights but rejected the alliance and marriage proposal offered by the dubious King of England. Unless you settle your quarrel with Scotland, our peace-loving kingdom cannot accept your offer for alliance. We shall no longer support any dubious King and proof of English treachery worried us more than ever.

With the first crusade underway it does not seem necessary to call a conclave for the Catholic League (Re: None of us seem involved enough to make it interesting), so King Wladyslaw urges the members of the League to join the crusade and to assemble their spare priests at Constantinople for a grand mission into the lands of the infidel.

:egypt:

King Roger is pleased to announced that His Holiness has sanctioned His request for a crusade towards Antioch.
He hopes that the other members of the Catholic League will join Him in His quest to reclaim the Holy Lands from the infidel.

King Philippe of France is proud to announce that his son Louis is leading the French crusaders to Antioch as we speak.

By the Grace of God King Knud of Denmark,

His Majesty King of Denmark would like to make it known that from now on, any aggression toward our Scottish ally will be seen as an act of war against Denmark as well. In respond to the attack by William’s army against the Scottish populace, the King has dispatched several ships to clear the sea from English pirates, which we have done tremendously.

Know this King of England, London is no longer yours, and Nottingham will follow the same fate. Together, Danes, French, and Scottish shall crush these English dogs and clean the world from such dubious creatures.

Onward to battle and victory!

King Wladyslaw is pleased to offer alliances to the Holy Roman Empire and France in the spirit of cooperation in the progression of the Crusade (i.e. even if you don't want to join the Catholic League, which Germany hasn't commented on, it's best not to have crusade armies able to ambush one another by mistake ;)) and the addition of a member to the Catholic League at their request (The French).

Alas, the Polish crusade army has met with unfortunate circumstances as it encountered and was forced to bring to battle a Byzantine army under their Emperor which was intent on the capture of Sofia from our forces, the very castle from which our crusaders began their long journey. God was gracious and granted Poland victory (5:4 odds in my favor, but their general was superior by 3 stars. I was worried.), and the Byzantine leader now sits on a boat in a port blockaded by the Sicilians.

Attempts will be made to negotiate with the Byzantines for the peaceful passage of our noble warriors, but if such cannot be had then any men of Byzantium who stand between us and the target of the Crusade shall be destroyed.

:egypt:

I'm happy to announce that Poland and the Holy Roman Empire have entered into an alliance.

Also, to the French King I did not realize you were sieging Antwerp, I will leave the area immediately.

Holy Roman Emperor,

We thank you kindly...

If you would help in the siege (OOC by placing yourself next to the city), I would gladly pay you in gold once the city is taken...

I will gladly help you.

Then, all is well between France and the Holy Roman Empire...

Does it mean France reject our demand?

King Knud of Denmark

King Knud,

How was I to assist you when you left the city unbesieged and have taken the cross and are at the moment crossing our territory on that most noble cause that a crusade is.

As I had told you before, the Germans were en route to take that same city and would have lain siege before you could.

Moreover, I cannot let some rebellious scum defy French power so near our borders...

What do you propose we do ?

I am prepared to sell Antwerp to you but I am no fishmongering merchant and the price of such jewel will be a high price. That proposal I make to you as a gesture of goodwill.

Out of the 2000 you demand for the taking of Bruges, though we feel we owe you nothing, we are prepared to give you 1000 gold.

King Philippe of France

King Wladyslaw regrets to announce that negotiations with the Byzantines fell through and Constantinople now stands under siege. In addition Nicaea has been taken and is now a ward of the Polish state, though it's position is necessarily precarious.

In better news the Sicilians have been invited to formally join the Catholic League and an alliance with Poland.

It is an unfortunate start to our crusade. We wish the other crusaders better luck!

We have laid siege to Bruges for a long time, to simply took it away from us without any previous notification and refused to give any compensation are outrageous. You even rudely told us to "go away and take Antwerp before the Germans did". Surely you know, France already has large territory and army capable of striking beyond its border, compare these to us, and you should be grateful or what you have.

Your recent action also made us think whether we have forged a wrong alliance with France, perhaps Denmark should not turn down the offer from England. At least they have some respect for us.

Also, since you have chosen to disclose our private diplomatic letters, I might as well disclose your letter to us:

None of your men were harmed in the process of taking that town.

As our allies, you are still welcome on our soil but we would advise you to set on your sights on the neighbouring city of Antwerp, still rebel-held.

I hope you won't bear us any ill will for acting so rashly but we needed a quick access to the British Isles so that we could bring down our unruly English neighbour.

German armies are already en route to Antwerp so I strongly advise you to act fast in laying siege to that town.

Yours faithfully

As to reconsidering your alliances, it might be a bit late, as England will perhaps soon not even be there to ally with... And on the subject of England's respect, the English King is not even able to respect his own liege lord as a faithful vassal should, so do you think he would truly rspect you ?

But we'll keep those threats in mind...

Philippe
By the grace of God
King of France

My lords, I, Philippe of France have a grave announcement to make...

The treacherous and villainous William of England has no more country to speak of...

He has gone back to his old ways and has turned brigand scouring the lands of Scotland.

This is what happens when you try to cross the French.

https://i231.photobucket.com/albums/...dDestroyed.jpg

This is what comes of warring amongst ourselves, my fellow Catholic lords. Better by far that we should turn our intentions against our enemies of other faiths. I pray the brigand can be brought to heel peacefully in good time, that the lands of Scotland may no longer be troubled.

King Wladyslaw

:egypt:

King Roger of Sicily congratulates his noble ally King Philippe on ridding our holy lands of such unholy men as William. May he soon be found and burnt at the stake for his crimes against Christendom.

The destruction of William's kingdom is regretable, but necessary. We would be very interested in hearing the final fate of William.

Despite our recent discrepancy with France, we still consider the destruction of England as a triumph for all of Christendom.

I thank King Knud for his kind words and hope that no hard feelings are left between our Kingdoms.

Malcolm, King of Scots congratulates his faithful ally Phillipe on the final defeat of William and thanks the French for coming to Scotlands aid in its hour of need.

It gives me no pleasure to announce that Constantinople had to be taken in order for the Polish crusade armies to advance. The city has been immediately surrendered to Papal control, though the Pope has not yet seen fit to provide a garrison to maintain order. This unfortunate circumstance is deeply regrettable, but our crusade armies are now primarily in Muslim lands and so misunderstandings with our Orthodox brethern should be avoidable. Unfortunately the Byzantines rejected a peace offering and a state of war still exists, for the moment, between our nations. Negotiations continue, and there is hope of a lasting peace on the horizon.

In other news, Kiev stands under siege, and we wish to congratulate our Russian allies on the capture of Vilnius (In other words, I built a watchtower to keep an eye on that front. It's a wide border, shouldn't be hard to avoid trouble.).

King Wladyslaw

:egypt:

King Roger wishes to inform his Catholic friends that his vassal General Alberto will make landfall at Antioch this year still and lay siege to this place that rightfully belongs to the Christian faith.

King Philippe of France wishes to inform than England's former King William the Bandit has been brought to justice with the rest of his followers.

York shall soon be returned to Scotland with more to come in the future.

King Philippe wishes also to inform his fellow crusaders that his son Louis has made landfall in Greece and is fighting the Byzantines at this time, following the example of Poland and Sicily...

We would like to know why the Russians move their troops over our territory without permission and even now approaching one of our villages.

Beware, whoever spill the blood of the brave and loyal descendent of Vikings shall pay dearly for it.
