The Kingdom of Outremer

[econ21]

Kaiser Henry: I believe we should learn from our last experience. To defeat the horse lords, we had three full strength armies of good quality (horse and crossbows are particularly important, I believe). I believe we should work towards recreating such a force. It would be helpful if the three armies were each led by night fighters - I volunteer myself and Elberhard to jointly lead one of the three armies; we have nearly sufficient pavisiers but are in want of other troop types.

It is not clear at this stage where the Horse Lords are heading. Baghdad was merely sacked - they do not intend to make it their homelands. It is possible they will take on the Turks after the whipping we gave them last time. But I fear once again that Outremer has the most tempting targets for their invasion.

I am of the opinion that we should mobilise and march on them as soon as possible. Meet them head on.
