Reconquista - Medieval 2 AAR

[nodikus]

They will not take Valencia While I still draw breath!
Do we have forces to spare for such an operation? Its probably to much trouble while the Moors remain in southern Iberia.

 

[Maniacal]

Yes. If they would stop having 3 armies hovering around Murcia constantly. Valencia will have stone walls & castle in a few turns, so will Pamplona. I am refitting the main army but while it's gone I will be building a second army under Captain's command which will go in once the main army needs to refit. I am still trying to get the Portugese to enter the war but it's freaknig hard to get antoher nation to do anything but trade agreements, alliances or (thoguh still difficult sometimes) map trading. I also have them REJECTING GIFTS! Who rejects 1000 gold? WHO!?

 

[Metromonkey]

It's good to be king!

 

[sirtommygunn]

ive been mentioned! SWEET! now princescamp who is the new prince?

EDIT: the new prince is pugwash your brother in law

 

[Metromonkey]

It appears to be my sauve and handsome son, Darth_Pugwash.

EDIT: Or my Sauve and not so handsome brother-in-law? The family tree doesn't really tell.

EDIT2: From further research my sauve and not so handsome brother-in-law is the Heir to Portugal. So my sauve and handsome son, Prince Pugwash is heir.

 

[Maniacal]

He might be the king of portugal now, the game doesn't tell you when other kings die. I'll have to check on that.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

The suave and handsome Darth Pugwash approves. The suave and handsome Pugwash also believes that we should continue to press on against the Almohads.

 

[sirtommygunn]

wait what?? you mean that pugwash is the heir to both portugal AND spain???? WTH is going on here...

 

[Maniacal]

wait what?? you mean that pugwash is the heir to both portugal AND spain???? WTH is going on here...

No, I married a princess off to the heir of portugal a while ago but when you do that it creates an alliance and improves relations instead of converting that charactor to your realm. Pugwash is just the heir of Leon & Castille. Civverguy and Kan are both Portugese generals I married into the family.

 

[Maniacal]

I am going to call a crusade on the Moors.

 

[sirtommygunn]

hey scampy maybe you should of used the edit button

 

[civverguy]

Have I seen any action yet?

 

[sirtommygunn]

Prince what is taking so long

 

[Maniacal]

I didn't finish the update on Sunday. And I am at my dad's until Monday so no update till then. Why? Because my computer here is crap.

 

[Maniacal]

1122
The siege of Valencia is lfited! The enemy has been crushed again!

1125
Valencia has been besieged yet again, however Nodikus leads a sally forth and crushes them yet again!

The amount of zombies in this army was incredible, though not nearly so as their stupidity. They stood there until my missile troops ran out of arrows and javelins and my infantry put them down for good!

Another glorious slaughter! The fields around Valencia are quite prosperous and fertile now! Though the constant fighting really doesn't help.

King Metromonkey has convinced the pope to call a crusade on Tangiers! England, Venice, Italian States and the Holy Roman Emprie have all joined the glorius Crusade! Hopefully they will be able to defeat (or at least damage and distract) the enemy armies while we grab the cities!

1126

The defenders of Palma, not wishing to surrender their independence, rushed hungrily out of their fortress in one last attempt. Their hunger however was great, and they were swiftly routed. Kan spared the survivor's lives but still sacked the castle.

1127 (turn not completed)

Civverguy has besieged Murcia! Hopefully we can finaly take the fighting away from Valencia!

 

[nodikus]

Zombies are not known for thier intelligence. How long will it take crusader armies to start arriving?

 

[Maniacal]

Venice is already have way through my territory, with the mariage alliance with France, HRE, Venice and England which are also my allies ceased fire with France. Britain and HRE might take a while since they don't have a clear route, but Britain does have a fleet. Italian States will be soon unless they can't go through French terrirtory for some reason.

EDIT: Well I will be focusing heavily on this AAR since I want to play other mdos and install the 1.2 patch, but I can't do that without possibly breaking the current game.

 

[Maniacal]

Captain2 and I are back in the game! Kan, Captain is your son. I was adopted by Pugwash.

The map has been updated too. And of coruse the timeline, WHICH I URGE YOU TO ALWAYS READ WHEN I UPDATE.

England's Crusading army is finaly in Spain, it had to fight it's way through France.

-----------

The garrison of Murcia is delayed five minutes due to technical issues.

The larger of the 3 Moorish armies is surrounded...

The knights charge into their rear!

Many peasents and militia are sent flying!

And trampled to death.

The enemy is slaughtered yet again.

The foolish garrison is crushed in the field, leaving the fortress undefended.

The Almohads suffer yet more grevious losses.

This battle earned a Famous Battle marker on the map!
Civverguy fought another 3 smaller battles on his way to Granada. Which I didn't take pics of.

Granada is crushed between the two armies!

King Metromonkey and Sirtommygun moved on from Granada to siege Cordoba, Scamp is bringig a fresh army to help them. Civverguy is going to help the Venetian crusaders against the half-dozen Moorish armies to the west.

 

[Maniacal]

What shall our next move be? Cordoba is besieged, I have my fleet (5 ships) blockading the channel. Tangiers is the crusade goal and is just past the lower-left corner of the picture.

 

[civverguy]

Yes! I finally fought in a medieval battle.
