Yes, you're fighting the Muslims. And the Lombards, but the war with them is now postponed apparently.
Thing is, its not very easy to stop a Holy War especially if you, on most fronts, are beginning to get the upper hand.

Year: 800 AD.
North America: At peace, but with rising tensions.
Hudson Powers: Strong, encroaching - if united.
Sioux: Old allies, but disturbingly-strong even without allies.
Honduras: Distant, impoverished.
Canada: Recovering, surrounded. Impatient.
Constantinople: Filled with intrigue.
Jonathan Shade: Pondering.
---
Jonathan Shade was pondering. The map in front of him was assembled by much effort, and the information on it was to kill for. The Regent of Canada urgently wanted to kill somebody - it was outrageous. Much as he suspected, the Warlord boasts of "Canadian might" were unfounded. Canada's army was the greatest in the world... but it was surrounded by hostile neighbours who were traditionally prepared to fight Canada. And Canadians themselves were traditionally prepared to fight the world. It always was WE vs. THEY. But THEY were stronger right now.
Canada: surrounded by enemies and false friends. That is, there was right now only one country Jonathan Shade trusted apart from Canada - Honduras, which had nothing, absolutely nothing to gain from doing harm to Canada. And indeed the visit to it has persuaded him that even if it wanted to do harm it was powerless to do it - its economy was even worse off then the Canadian one. That ofcourse also meant that Honduras could do nothing to help Canada if it were to go to war.
Jonathan Shade smirked. The encirclement of Canada... idiots. Luckily, his enemies outside of Canada were just as stupid as the Warlords within. Had they had any brains they should have invaded twenty five years ago, when Canada was still a weak, poor country plagued by inner strife. Had they invaded them they would have simply overran Canada, their traditional enemy. Too late now, though.
Too late. But Canada was still encircled, and there was no way to break out of it. The Warlords demanded war, and the Merchants begun to realize that it is unavoidable as well. But war at this moment would be suicide. Jonathan Shade knew that there was a hard task in front of him.
But he wasn't the kind of man that surrenders. At all. He would find a way out.
There was nobody else who could do it.

OOC: I diverted economy to military.
IC: Renew attack on Muslim front. Withdraw all but necessary garrison from Lombardy.
New military (including Lombardy Garrison) attack from the north, via Black Sea.
Strengthen borders along the easternmost Mediterranean coast, but expand past holy lands. Apparent Goal for both fronts is the Euphrates River.

Don't seem to remember anything like that in your peace treaty. In fact, it was more like you declaring that the war has ended; nothing more. That said, I don't know what went on behind the scenes.

BTW Puma, there's no levels for my troops (like green or vetern, etc.). And they're in Iron Age?... Is that lower than the current age, do I spend eco to raise their age?

Das- the Hurons are pacifist but they are deathly afraid of you, hence the large skilled army.
MSTK- Your country, you can do with it what you please.
Erez- I did make your army attack toward Tripoli, you'll notice the front is much closer now. But as to what else you meant by that order i'm not too sure. Did you want a ampibious attack or somethinglike that? Sorry if i mistook them but it wasn't too clear.
Amirsan- Good to see you back. The trade was cut by the Viking raids, it says so in the update.
Azale- Not really your vassal, but you two (if i remember correctly) agreed to stop attacking one another b/c of the large amounts of barbarian raids you each held. They aren't really a nation at all, just a collection of barbarian tribes.
Blackheart- Yes you can't get training until you get to the Barbarian age. Inorder to bring your army/navy up to that level it'll cost an economy level and also you'll lose some of your numbers, but not too much.
Diplomacy
Frankish Kingdom:
to Spain: Holy Crap. We didn't know our good friend King Amirsan was still in charge over there. We apologize and will immediatly withdraw. Allow us to compensate you with some gold. (+1 Econ level)
Lombardy:
to Byzantine Empire:
We accept your terms. We also ask that you come to our aid in the event of a Spanish attack. In return we'll send troops to aid in the Crusade against the Islamic horde.

Azale- i apologize i just went back and read some stuff (i'll have to read through every update one of these days). Rus are in fact a nation that united under one leader when you attacked, i'll do stats next update.
Armenia:
to Cossack Empire:
We care little for your alliance unless you accept the true religion of God and send troops to assist us in destroying the hated Islamic devils.

Hurons don't have a capital neither. They do have stats, though...
Well, I suspected as much.
Canadian geopolitical situation is very similar to that of pre-Revolutionary France. Our only allies are too far and too preoccupied with other issues to help us, and barring that we are surrounded by smaller powers that realize our superiority and thus use every opportunity to frustrate our expansion.
Little did they know about the consequences of the French Revolution in OTL for all those involved...

To Britain
From Spain:
We humbly accept northern friends of the great British Isle. We hope we can have a prosperous friendship. How about we begin a trade route?
To Norway, Sweden and Britain
From Spain:
The Viking raiders are continously attacking both of our interests in trade. I believe that the best way to stop this is to defeat them before they become more powerful. Claim the north seas as your own and keep them peaceful as they have been for hundreds of years. I hope, Sweden and Norway, after this threat is leveled, we can once again continue our most prosperous trade.
To Byzantium and Lombardy
From Spain:
We congratulate you on a peaceful agreement and hope that our countries can continue our friendship regardless of past differences.
To Frankish Kingdom
From Spain:
We appreciate your wise decision to withdraw, very wise of you Charlmagne. Less blood will now be spilled because of it.
OOC: Thanks Puma, glad to be back. Can you please answer my secret diplo to the series of nations? Also, not to be a pain, but dont you think raiders would simply stop the trade, not destruct it all together? But its your decision.
