Sweeden

Ragnar was a sturdy man...Came from a noble Norwegian familly,he gained power because the old king had died and left no heir...He had it set down though,that his second in comand,Ragnar Savag,was to become king when he died.

Upon ascending the throne this man had an iron grip,and had no trouble in pushing his enemies aside.He was a religious catholic though,so he at once started to change the system of religious works in Sweden.

He stopped granting land for more churches of protestantism,and openly funded more catholic Cathedrals and ****.There were few protestors because of fear of army,and those that did protest were imprisonned for life.

Ragnar Savag knew that if he was going to make Sweden into a contestant in european politics,he was going to have to make many changes...And he was willing to make every change necessary
 
England -


War no longer merely loomed upon our shores, the french and spanish had teh gaul to defile the english channel without permission and it seems they wish for war. not only that but on the other side the catholic Brandenburgens and the swedes had had a massive naval battle eliminating both fleets. If only England had known it could have been so different! Then of course comes the new news, incredibly the swedes had after losing many men at the hands of catholic oppresion now decided that they wanted to be catholic! Such a betrayal of the people to force them to pray in the catholic way. The question now becomes that if the swedes rebuild their navy will they have the decency to honour the dpp of navies within the north sea that is active between England and sweden. A cruel opprseion had fallen upon the north men.


btw orders pm'd
 
From: Greece
To: Russia, Spain and other involved

Greece´s position is the following: We will stay neutral in this conflict, until our ally Russia gets attacked. We are cooperating with the Spaniards in the Caribic and we would prefer to have friendly relations with them. However we condemm the chatolic crusade in Brandenburg. These people are still christians!

OOC: I´m a bit confused. Is Poland somehow religiously splittered? Would be logical since they have borders with two Orthodox nations.
 
To Greece
From Spain
Russia won't get attack, you have my word, unless they decides to aid the Protestants....

Wat about a ROP?
 
The Ototman Empire was expanding quickly. Lands in Arabia had been colonized and towns were sending back their money to the coffers of the Empire. 2 new cities of Port Said and Adana has been set up all by themselves as gowth and prosperity reigned through the Empire. New colonises were being set up and the sun shined on the Ottomans. The horrible Eithiopians however were a thorn in the Ottoman side. It provented not only the spread of Ottoman gorwth, but the spread of Islam. The pigs of Eithiopia murdered many missionaries sent to spread the word of Allah. Suleiman was going to launch a campagin to rid the world of the Eithiopians.
---

Suleiman looked at his troops. 8 divisions were at the ready. They has been shipped over from Mecca. The troops were preparing for an invasion of the infindels. The Eithiopians would pay for what they did. Suleiman rallied his men and marched onto Eithiopia. The Eithiopians didn't have gunpowder, and thus the loyal Ottoman troops could easily defeat the Eithipoians. Suleiman charged ahead of his troops as they crossed into Eithiopia. The opposing army was sighted "Jihad on the infidels!" he yelled as the troops clashed in a giant battle...


ORDERS:

Send the 8 divisons and Suleiman to conquer the Eithiopian city to the south.

The Greece Conquest of Mexico

When Theron of Edessa had arrived the campaign in the New World had already begun. The captain had acted differently then Theron would have had, but this didn’t mean that the war was lost. Actually the infidel Aztecs had been pushed back and one entire province had been conquered. The conquistadors were now attacking two other Aztec cities and most likely they would succeed. But Theron had other plans for the Greece expedition. The gold of the Aztecs was in Tenochtitlán! But the Spaniards had already been at the gates of the city… A plan was needed. Meanwhile Theron studied the notes of his predecessor. The captain had kept a diary:

The arrival in the new world

cortes2_1.jpg


Today the first great military expedition has reached the new world. After a long journey over the Atlantic Ocean six divisions disembarked in Yucatan. Armed with the finest Grecian equipment and lead by Theron, a Macedonian explorer who had claimed lands in West Africa for the crown before he joined the military, the expedition has reached Xylonysis, the capital of Yucatan. Unfortunately he has become sick from a terrible disease while he visited the colony of New Attica. Therefore I, Simeon of Thebes, have been given command over the troops. Theron has told me to hurry and after giving me a note with his plans, I had to leave for Xylonysis.

After a short rest in the city, the army will march towards the Aztecs. In the name of the Patriarch of Athena we will conquer the infidel empire and we will bring Christianity to them! We will build churches and cathedrals and preachers will tell of Jesus Christ and the lord and we will teach them to write and to read… oh yes I can’t wait to bring civilisation to those barbarians!

While I’m talking about barbarians: I have seen some of them when we entered the city. They are called Mayans and they are infidels, too. But we have begun to Christianize them and I have already seen some of them in the local church. The governor told me that the Mayans are a pretty peaceful people if compared to the Aztecs. They once were a great empire and there are tales of magnificent cities built deep inside the jungle. I guess these are just fables, but after we are done with the Aztecs we should explore the jungle a bit deeper. Whatever: Today the Mayas live under our rule.

Entering the Aztec Empire and the first contact

cortes2_2.jpg


Finally we have crossed the border to the Aztecs. And I have already seen some of them. When we entered their territory we were seen by a small garrison on an outpost. Impressed by the size of our forces the wimps fled into the Jungle. We continued to advance until a messenger was seen. He told me too leave or the wrath of the Jaguar would come over me and my men. One of my soldiers immediately shot him with his musket. As we continued our advance into the empire we met several more messengers. Frightened by our superior weapons they tried to hide behind trees and rocks while telling us the same thing again and again. Leave or you will die.

After travelling through the jungle for several weeks we have had the first real battle with the Aztecs. We were just passing a small river when a massive Aztec force came out of the jungle just in front of us. To my surprise they deployed in a formation. Actually I expected them to storm towards us, squalling strange war songs and holding their weapons high into the air (like the people I have seen on my visit to Africa) but it looks like the Aztecs have a good idea about waging war. The battlefield was well chosen since our escape route was blocked by the river and the Aztecs were a bit above us. Yes the battle looked really bad for us. The Aztecs outnumbered us since a part of our army was still on the other side and the soldiers were frightened by the fearsome appearance of the Aztec warriors. Wearing jaguars on there back and with huge standards on their back those fighters frightened the soldiers so much that some wanted to cross the river and flee from the enemy. But I managed to keep my men together. Rapidly I ordered the cannons, which still on the other side, to deploy and aim at the enemy. Meanwhile the infantry should form a semi circle around me, with the river covering our back. I was sitting on my horse so that everybody could see me and called the men to prepare for battle. The pikes and swords should form a secondary line behind the muskets and arbalests. Those would fire one or two salves before they would retreat behind the secondary line. Meanwhile I called the cavalry, which was on the other side of the river, too, to drive their horses through the stream as fast as possible, since I had seen how much the natives fear the tall and strong Grecian horses. Then I called the musician to my side and told him to play our national anthem.

I had just finished my preparations as the Aztecs had crossed half of the distance. Immediately I ordered the archers and muskets to shoot. The thin armour of the Aztecs was no match for the iron arrows and musket bullets. Many of the attackers fell into the mud. Then something unexpected happened: The loud noise and the terrifying effect of the Muskets had such a big impact on the Aztecs that their advance slowed down and they almost turned around. But soon the advance continued as the leaders of the Aztecs yelled them to attack. I hoped to fire another salve of the muskets, but only my arbalests were able to fire a second shot before they retreated behind the pikes. Then the Aztecs ran into the secondary line. Many were impaled by pikes (We Greeks are the masters of pike warfare), but still the Aztecs managed to break our lines. A fierce melee battle broke out and at first I was not sure about the outcome of the battle. But as I watched the fighting I realized something spectacular. Unlike our soldiers the Aztec’s gaol is not to kill his opponent. It actually looks like they prefer to wound their enemy and make him unfit for battle then to kill him. I actually observed them striking at legs and arms rather then on the head or chest! Maybe they want to capture us and use us as slaves? These foreign lands are so different from Europe… Whatever! The battle was still waging, but it looked like the Aztecs had a disadvantage. Then suddenly the cavalry arrived. They rode through the fighting Aztecs and Greeks like a thunderstorm. As I expected the Aztecs were terrified by the horses! Immediately they started to retread, pursed by our cavalry. Most of them were slain.

At the end of the day we counted our deaths. Many had died, but the compared to the Aztecs the battle was a full success. We buried our deaths and threw the Aztecs into the river, after we robbed all their ornaments and jewelry.
