Marians: Sons of Mars

Yes, but you have territories on land. Where frankly I can outspend you. Still. No reason to waste commerce, and my empire is done growing for a bit. Want a trade agreement next turn?
 
No casus belli on Amazon for threatening the vassal, but if he went to war, you'd have the option to fight him.

Amazon's trade agreement with Patagonia has been cancelled to make room for the new one with Caribbea..

New England declines annexation.

*sigh* very well, ill pester new England until they accept it. and we are glad that the revolt qwas, once again, squished like a bug.
 
Novgorod, having inherited Astrakhan and therefore Persia, has decided it's not in commerce's interests to keep fighting the Persian War. In addition, such a large empire would surely come under fire from competitors.

Novgorod has arranged a deal with Hedjaz for all parts of free Persia to merge with Astrakhan(Novgorod will in turn receive land from Astrakhan), with the remainder becoming the Hedjazite Kingdom of Persia.
 
Novgorod, in a luxurious ceremony, has christened itself Russia.

War of Qin Succession

Na-Na-Nine refuses to let tiny Korea lord over the Qin, when it's so much more powerful than both combined. Na-Na-Nine has declared war, with the intent to seize what is rightfully theirs.

With their powerhouse 77 economy, they're likely to trounce humble Korea's 8 and Qin's 30.

...Of course, Japan isn't going to sit around and let its neighbors be devoured. The balance of power must stay constant, and as such, Japan, with 54 income, pledges it will support the Qin.

Na-Na-Nine gets to make the first move since it's contesting the throne. 83 gold lies in their paws, and with armies costing 4.6 gold, they recruit 18 forces. They now have 21 armies. 5 are focused on defense. The remaining 16 are ordered to butcher the Qin.

----

29-4
15-27
1-27
16-9
20-16

Defeating the Qin's 3 armies, Na-Na-Nine easily swamps an additional 11 provinces. Nearly all of mainland China is under the control of Na-Na-Nine!

---

Korea makes the next move. Receiving 1 gold from Japan, they build 2 new armies. Their objective is to push the Na-Na-Niners out of North Korea.

24-1. N-N-N army destroyed.
20-9
1-2

Between the attack and counterattack, Na-Na-Nine has gained 12 provinces. Korea's armies are all retired, whereas Na-Na-Nine retains 3 armies for defense.

---

Now the Qin can begin Operation Payback. The Japanese put 30 gold towards Qin's military research, giving them a small edge. 30 gold + 7 treasury + 33 in Japanese subsidies gives them 70 gold, which recruits 14 armies. With no NNN forces capable of being recruited, the Qin launch a massive counterattack to reclaim China.

They only need to cull 3 NNN armies to get an overrun.

23-17.
26-21.
7-17.
8-10
24-14.

12 Qin forces now run free. Na-Na-Nine's huge gain has been reversed into a loss of 3 provinces thanks to Japan's intervention.
 
The Holy War Against Poland

Kiev is hungry for land, wealth, and more followers for Yahweh. As a result, it has declared war on Poland using a religious CB. The Pagan world will hate them for it, but nobody will get a CB on them for it due to the war being justified.

With 81.8 gold, Kiev is a big contender. Poland's 18 provinces call to the Kievan Empire. In one fell swoop, Kiev raises 16 armies. 12 are sent on the attack!

14-4. Poland's sole army is destroyed, and Kiev captures 12 provinces!

Poland musters 5 more armies. 1 army is kept for defense.

24 23
22 25
28 4

Kiev's gain is reversed to 8, and then 7 when Poland orders its last force to strike.
 
Poland, you really suck! did you think you can get away with only one army? Mathalis doctrine demands a minimum of 10 armies.
 
Germania looks on at the chaos in Poland with great interest...

Events

Succession

The Aztec Emperor is dead. Colombia and the Caribbean have a 48-52 chance of being chosen.

CARRIBEA INHERITS THE AZTECS! Remember that this merely lets you control their internal policies, but it does not allow you to transfer free money from them to you. You do get to more or less use any casus belli one member of a PU has, since your foreign policies are now united. You function as allies above all. This all translates as that, while under a PU, Caribbea can use the Aztecs' Taoist casus belli against whomever they desire, meaning all three countries can be brought against anybody. Colombia, seeing the Caribbean as a far stronger opponent, doesn't contest the succession - this will result in cosmic irony soon.

The Inca Emperor is dead. Normal succession.

Serbia's King is dead. Italy and Austria have a 49-51 chance. 11. Italy inherits! Austria contests.

Colombia's Consul is dead. 50-50 chance of Aztecs or Maracaibo inheriting. Aztecs inherit. Caribbea now controls the thrones of the Aztecs AND Colombia! Their empire stretches from the north of Mexico to the coasts of Colombia all the way to the eastern Caribbean and southeastern North America. They have gone from

Announcement:

To speed the rate of updates, events are temporarily suspended.

Since we're starting to run out of pagan provinces in some areas, allow me to offer some conversion opportunities: If your state religion is x, you can pay 1 gold to try to change a certain province to religion x. 10% chance of success if non-pagan, 50% if pagan. You can only do it once per province per turn. Obviously, religious founders have the largest incentive, and can donate to spread the faith in countries that approve - countries with the same state faith obviously auto-approve.

Changing NP - Changing National Powers spikes revolt risk +10% for the turn.
 
well i recruit 7 armies, 2 navies, and put the rest into military.

We, again request new England to be annexed.
 
Iberia earns 65 income. We spend 44 of it to earn more military tech.

All 17 armies are ordered on the offensive.

16 18 - This becomes a victory due to our morale.

11 territories have been reclaimed! 1 remains outside our sphere of influence. We request Lombardia take care of it, which they agree to since we helped them out once before.

23-23. Lombardia's morale breaks the tie, and all 12 territories have been returned to Iberian hands.

---

We claim two more African territories. Since Lombardia did so well, we give them 21 gold towards their Infra research - it's as if we never collected tribute.

Anglo-Pictish claims in Red. :mischief:

In other words, we put 10 gold to finish Civ3, 12 gold to finish Diplo7, and shove the other two into the next Infra tech.

Spoiler :
I figure if Abaddon can have the monstrosity that was Na-na-9, then I can raid Finland's fridge claim part of Finland. And then wait for a casus belli.
 
Is the Rebellion in the (East Roman) Empire put down? If not, attack.

Also, I pay to convert the rest of my provinces to Judaism, buy 2 armies and put the rest of my money into Military research.
 
What's the political situation in the western Polish/Czech rebel state? Do Austria or Germany have any appropriate reason to reinstall law and order?

Germania spends 50 gold on raising Military to 5.
 
Alright Everybody. I'll be going out to California for a week, so the game will be paused until then. Feel free to still post orders though; I'll get to those once I get back.
 
Claim 5 territories in such a way as to get as close to the Atlantic Ocean as Possible. Spend one-third money in Civics, one third in Diplo, one third in military.
