@Derfasciti: I'd say you're doing well. I'm amazed, however, that you've managed to stay at peace with the English for so long--for the French, that's no mean feat.

I'm also surprised that the Pope is only now threatening to excomm you; usually the French are excommunicated long before now! All in all, I think you've been doing an excellent job. Have you given any thoughts to sending a Crusade or two to the Holy Land?
EDIT: GAH! Looks like I spoke too soon.

Bummer, man; I feel for ya'. Sorry, Derfasciti--in retrospect, I maybe should've warned you about attacking the Spanish. They can get pretty powerful once they gain control of the Iberian peninsula, and one probably shouldn't go to war with them unless/until you have a fairly decisive advantage (in terms of troops, money, etc.).
Hmm. Maybe you should try the Spanish next. They're my personal favorite!
@ColdPrecision and Innocentius: Nice campaigns, guys.

I find it ironic and a little amusing, though, that Innocentius is playing the faction that ColdPrecision is currently at war with.
By the way, I must apologize for not posting anything on my Portuguese campaign yet. I played for about an hour Friday night--I decided to attack the Almoravids after all--but that was about it. I was rather violently ill on Saturday and the better part of Sunday, so I didn't do a whole lot of anything this weekend aside from lay on the couch and wish for death to come.

I hope to get a little further in my campaign in the next couple nights now. The Almos will either learn to fear me--or I'll be completely squashed.
