Indeed, a small chapel at Adana would be most appropriate. For subsequent builds at Adana, I would ask Count Manfred to set the build queue. I believe he will be garrisoning the castle and so is the best person to make these decisions. This request should not be interpreted as prejudging the assignment of Adana to any particular House at the next Diet.

Build queue for Marseilles

Demolish Brothel

1188 concluded

Count Mandorf will remain in Adana with the 2nd Crusader Army. The 1st Crusader Army has moved into Egyptian territory in the northern Levant. I am following closely behind with some cavalry from Adana and will overtake them next year.

News of Count von Hamburg's concern about the modernity of our forces has reached me. I have decided to upgrade the castle at Magdeburg in response. I know this is not in the queue, but I doubt Steward von Kastilien will mind.

Steward von Kastilien has decided to continue the siege of Breslau. I am a bit confounded by this, but will respect his wishes.

Prinz Jobst has continued his pursuit of the rebels between Metz and Staufen. He has caught up to them and I await word of the battle. . .

He has crushed the rebels. The Prinz will move on to Staufen to winter. Despite rumors that reached him that Dijon is in revolt, this is not so. The populace is disillusioned but not rioting.

Building Queue Zagreb

Good call on the fortress upgrade I didn't see the building started in the original que and did not want to appear demanding for the upgrade not knowing the financial state.
Now that it is upgraded and the stables have started please continue with the original list after the stables, Chapel, Boywer and crops.

Sad news from the Levant:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

The Hero of Nicaea died peacefully in his sleep. The Reich is lessened by the loss of such a geat warrior. I have received a message of condolence from Emperor John, it seems Dietrich is a hero of two Empires. I am at a loss for words.

The Hungarians have declared war on the Byzantines. A large Magyar army is outside Constantinople.

It seems the Church moves quickly, an Inquisitor has been spotted east of Adana. The reason I know this is:

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I am outraged that one of our priests who has risked life and limb to join us on Crusade was put on trial for heresy. At least the farce ended in Father Ritter being found innocent.

A Merchants Guild has been built in Marseille.

Sir Hummel and his Crusade army have embarked at the port of Genoa. The fleet now nears the Sicilian straits.

1190 continued

The Crusade is now north of Acre. Half of the Crusade will besiege the castle in the new year, the other half will move on to Jerusalem.

A diplomat has been dispatched to Corsica. He will be able to meet with Pope Pisanus next year.

Another diplomat has met with Captain Zavid, the leader of the small Russian force that has trespassed near Thorn. We exchanged map information, and we will provide the Russians with a stipend of 100 florins for 10 turns. I hope this will discourage them from attacking. I do not fear them, but they are valuable trade partners, and I would not wish to lose that income.

Speaking of Thorn, I have dispatched our newest priest, Henry von Nassau, north from Budapest to assist Cardinal Herden in converting the heathen.

I am aware of the call for peace from some members of the Diet. I will meet with the Milanese and the Polish in the next few years. Other nations will follow depending on the location of our diplomats. I have had informal talks before, and the results were not encouraging. Still, I will make the effort.

I have given my mid-term report to the Diet:

I await word on three battles:

Breslau is ready to be assaulted by Steward von Kastilien. . .

He has taken the town.

Count von Hamburg has engaged some rebels north of Magdeburg. . .

The latest band of rebels have fallen to his sword. The Count will now make his way toward Stettin.

Prinz Jobst accompanied by Friedrich Scherer will attack the rebels southwest of Nuremburg. These scum have been troubling the Reich since my term began, and I will be glad to see them crushed. . .

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Prinz Jobst did crush them, with extreme vigor I might add. Friedrich Scherer has been knighted for his part in the melee.

It seems that the large Polish army northeast of Breslau, led by Captain Zygmunt, is now on our land. They must be destroyed, I have ordered Duke von Kastilien into battle once again. . .

The Polish are routed, while there are a few random stragglers, none of their forces remain in the Reich.

1192

Two of our young noblemen have come of age:

Helmut von Hamburg at Magdeburg and Elberhard, the Kaiser's youngest son, at Rome.

A Theologians Guild has been built in Milan at the request of Cardinal Otterbach.

Hungary has joined the Crusade. A Hungarian army that was visible from Budapest, led by Istvan, has marched out of view to the east.

We are now known as the most advanced Faction in the world.

Our two flotillas of Holks returning to Genoa after transporting our diplomat to Corsica were attacked by the French. Our fleet was victorious and Admiral Nikolaus is now known as a competent sailor.

A large Egyptian force led by Captain Youseff is now directly south of Acre. It seems the Saracen will not give up their Fortress without a fight.

I have taken a good part of the Crusade Army and engaged the Egyptian relief force while Count Hans besieges Acre. . .

I have utterly destroyed the relief force, I await word from Count Hans about the assault on the fortress. . .

The Count has taken Acre. The way to Jerusalem is open!

1192 continued

Leaving a garrison in Acre, the rest of the Crusade has laid siege to Jerusalem. Even though the city is only held by an Egyptian nobleman and his retainers, I want as many of our troops as possible to take part in the completion of our Holy task.

News of our entry into the province of Jerusalem has reached the Pope, our relations with him have improved back to outstanding.

A fleet of ships has departed Venice for the Holy Land with 5 priests, 2 merchants, a diplomat and a spy.

Duke von Kastilien has returned to Thorn with his army. He will rest and rearm his troops while keeping an eye on those wayward Russians. If the Poles make a move toward Breslau, he will be able to respond.

Count von Hamburg has chased down some bandits north of his home city. I await word of the battle. . .

The latest band of rebels has been routed. They were 555 in number, going up against 1086 of course. They were all killed or captured, and 106 casualties were sustained.

I hope the Count's demonstration of the Reich's might will not be lost on the Danes.

Duke Leopold has engaged even more rebel scum north of Zagreb. If destroyed, there would be no bandits left in the Reich, or at least until next year. I await word of the battle. . .

The Duke has crushed them. He will move on to our new frontier with Hungary to build watchtowers.

Build queue for Venice

1. Mayor's Palace
2. Merchant Bank

I've heard the people of Venice are dissillusioned. A Mayor's Palace should restore their confidence and sense of pride.
