LOTR-1190-5

Killed off:
Markos ek Sinopis (TheFlax is now playing Ioannis Tagaris)
Lisas Attaleiatis (00jebus) - Inactivity
Nikiphoros Manouelitis (Warmaster Horus) - Inactivity
Ioannis Kantakouzinos (Kagemusha) - Inactivity

Queued up 6 RBGs for Tristan in Corinth and Athens.

Taxes in Jerusalem reduced to Very Low to restore it to order (the rebellion is over, so taxes do not have to be artificially high).

Note: Ioannis Komnenos III (Ignoramus) should be teleported to Constantinople, as that was Ignoramus' chosen starting location. However, he is now aboard a boat and I cannot teleport him until he is on land.

Note 2: For anyone not paying attention, the Megas has plunged the Empire into 15000 florins of debt and the Empire is losing a further 5000 florins per turn. This is entirely legal, but I do not think I need to explain the long-term consequences of this.

Sailed on north.

It seems that Ignoramus' avatar is on my boat. I'll be reaching shore at the dardanelles next turn, where I'll boot him off.

1191 Megas Report

I am afraid there is not much to report this season. We are even further in debt, but Senator Ammonathas is kind enough to have started marching to the Venetian front. The sacking of their cities will do much to restore our finances. As will the disbanding of armies around the capital, including mine if need be. I did manage to disband many extra armies this last turn, but it only made a dent in the deficit.

There is one order of business before the capital and nearby regions can be demilitarized. Erotikos and his lapdog Kousinos continue to march towards the capital without anything venturing on a sane explanation. I can only assume their intent is not to capture Armatos' killer, but to take the City itself. While I am not yet ready to declare war on him I fully understand Isaakios Komnenos doing so and hope he will serve as a barrier to protect our holy capital. I myself am also marching towards the capital in case they decide to attack it.

There has been no recent recruitment for obvious reasons. At the very least we have stopped bleeding cities like a sieve. I only hope God guides us through these next few years.

I grant the settlements of Nicaea and Dardenellia to the former Emperor's nephew Ioannis Komnenos, as he had charged me before his death.

LOTR-1191-1

Moved Isaakios Komnenos' (flyd) fleet 3 tiles north to allow Ioannis Komnenos to get off. This seemed to be the direction flyd was moving anyway, so I don't think this would impact his movement this turn. However, if this movement was not desired, please let me know and I'll figure out a way to get you to whatever point you wanted to reach.

Ioannis Komnenos III (Ignoramus) moved to Constantinople (his chosen starting location). Theodora Tagaris was married to Ioannis Komnenos III. This was ordered by Ignoramus while he was still Basileus, and thus was entirely legal. If Ioannis Komnenos III had been teleported to Constantinople at the proper time, the marriage would have occurred then. These actions this turn were simply implementing these actions which should have been done a couple turns ago.

Killed off the RBGs that Tristan did not take. Tristan's new avatar is still in Corinth and will be teleported to his chosen starting location when that is decided upon.

Ammonathas moved towards Belgrade.

Note to the Megas, there are empty fleets that could be disbanded. Maintaining a large navy in these times is a luxury we cannot afford.

I would like to report a robbery. Someone stole my 3rd command star between 1189 and 1191. I earned that sucker!

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/local...id=193&id=4569

Upon further investigation, I think the Megas took it. Flyd's 1190-7 save had it, then it vanished with Zim's 1191 post.

[Zim]

Obviously the granting and taking of command stars is well within the Megas' Sphere of Interest.

[Zim]

Ammonathas has lost a command star from being in the field too long. It will come back if he hangs out in a city for a while.

In fact, a lot of the people with armies that have been out of cities a while are getting nasty morale traits, Ammonathas is the furthest gone but Arintheos, Erotikos, and Kousinos all have the traits as well.
