Hey, @Gilrandir,

You seem to be awaiting both greetings and stories. Well, greetings to you (so the first reason of your awaiting is over). As for the second (I imagine you looking impatiently at a clock in your hand and those ball-chasing men and saying "when are you guys going to call it a day?"), I have to disappoint you. While ruminating on the future campaign I found myself suddenly attracted by the idea of the Sicilians high expert. A quick sea-borne offensive in the direction of Greece, Const and Bulgaria seem to me more appealing. So I don't know what to do. What is your opinion?

Hi, @Gilrandir,
sounds like fun as well - tech up some spears and halberds against those ByzCav and go straight for the center, so everything around will fall to your hands. But TELL us, as announced!!! ;-))

Sounds like an old "Yes" song. I don't think I have anything worthy. I'm into the late 1300s and my Danes were just now attacked for the first time (I have a disjointed maritime empire from rebel pickings) so t'would be quite the dull story.

I attacked the Brits early on because they were about to be defeated by the French leaving the french far too powerful. There's still a three way going on between the French, Byzantines, and Spanish - all against each other.

I will as soon as there is anything to tell.

Finally I have something to report. I'm down to 1220. My carefully laid plans (read above in this thread) turned out useless. On the very first year of the campaign my Lorraine was attacked by the French so my propulsion down south was postponed indefinitely. The said province changed hands at least thrice before I managed to put on a sideshow in both Flanders and Ile de France. The first one I lost, the second was successful triggering a civil war among the French. A couple more moves and the French are no more and I'm culling the leftovers of their lands. (It is interesting to note that the Pope was blind and dumb to all I did with the French). Being surrounded by allies (except the Italians) I feel more secure strategically (but keep my eyes open - I don't trust them too much), although my financial state is still precarious. I hope to start some trade from Flanders (I have one ship already) and maybe Saxony. My major plans (and doubts, and fears) concern the Italians. They expanded into Toulouse and Greece and have a considerable navy (not an uncommon thing with them), so I'm not sure I want any trouble with them. Yet.
