SKNES: Architecture of Aggression

Badajoz feels the same. Whilst we will never accept that Christianity as the TRUE religion, burning churches shows no respect.
Unless of course, it was a victim of war...
 
Umm... SouthernKing, I said to transport all the important church officials (except the Pope) to India specifically so the church could continue.

Edit: I'll take a moderate-strength country on the Christian side of the crusade so I can take my revenge on the Zengids. If the crusade succeeds, maybe I'll retake Axum.

Carthage, Naples, and Pisa are all open.
 
OOC: Sorry for accidentally sending orders SK, I was too excited that I failed to notice the DON'T SEND MESSAGES thing. Anyways;

We humbly request permission to set up trading posts in your lands, as to bring the riches of the East and West to the West and East, respectively.
 
First off, I promise that the Vandal Sultanate will be recreated. GK, feel free to continue on as the Vandals, let's be honest. The Christians will be crushed/slaughtered/everything that my heart desires. You lost by a sneak attack, nothing more than that. I promise you'll be back in Carthage, sooner rather than later.

I'm not going to bother diploing, instead, I'm just going to kill you all.
 
You know, after he finishes with the Christians he will go after the Shia muslims next. We all know this, but no one is willing to say it.

Oh, he can protest all he wants. Look at your own history. What happens when the Sunnis take ultimate power? They start killing the Shia. Better yet, he already stats his withdrawl from the diplomatic sphere. Better to ignore your indignant cries after he orders your slaughter.
 
OOC: Ah yes, reasonable politicking for the Middle Ages. I can't wait to burn Rome.

He sort of had it coming, by threatening to destroy our navy, which destroyed a treaty between us, and previously they had betrayed us. I am surprised he wasn't expecting it.
And you think you can defeat us? *prepares the Monty Python and the Holy Grail script*
 
You sneak attacked a bastion of Muslim power. I'd hope the otherwise neutral Muslim nations take this as a warning of how trust-worthy you are. If I knew it was going to be this kind of party...
 
A bastion of Muslim power that raided Christian shores for centuries. The Mediterranean will be better off without these pillagers threatening international trade.

From: Geiseric III, Rightful Sultan of Carthage, King of the Vandals


We promised no war. We only said that ships flying the crusader flag were barred from our waters. You launched a dishonourable sneak attack, breaking a treaty of nonaggression while the ink was barely dry.

You will burn in hell as well as on earth for your treachery, heathens. Now all the world shall know of your perfidious nature.
 
We know that the Vandals consider all of the Mediterranean their waters. We also know that attacks on our shipping would be considered acts of war. Thusly, see above.
 
semi-OOC: Aquitaine shall be offered no quarter, like Axum.
 
Let's see the stats:

Christian Alliance- 56 EP/turn, 7 Levies, 28 Irregular Companies, 77 Swordman Companies, 12 Horseman Companies, 29 Crossbowman Companies, 9 Visigothic Legionary Companies, 19 Catholic Knight Companies, 6 Marinas, 29 Galley Groups, 4 Siege Galley Groups, 1 Dromon Group, 8 Cypri-Dromon Groups

Muslim Alliance- 48 (+14) EP/turn, 3 Irregular Companies, 76 Swordman Companies, 24 Horseman Companies, 76 Crossbowman Companies, 1 Siege Company, 3 Vandal Raider Companies, 25 Galley Groups

It's pretty even, though I feel the Muslims have more land power, while the Christians obviously dominate the sea right now. Who's going to win, I have no idea. What I do know is that it's going to be a complete bloodbath. Also note that the Muslims took way more casualties during the conquest of Carthage than the Christians.

We must condemn the actions of the Crusaders in their dishonorable attack upon the Vandalic Sultanate. Though we certainly do not condone the actions of the Vandals over the years, it is not proper for the Christian nations of the west to lower themselves to delivering a sneak attack upon that nation. Furthermore, we wish to say that, as the Holy "Roman" Empire has no claim on Crete, which was stolen from the Roman Empire by the Vandalic Sultanate years ago, and as they also apparently have no desire to actually attack the Holy Land, we wish to see Crete and any other formerly Vandal possessions in the Aegean returned to us at once.

Ours has been a prosperous relationship in the past few years. We wish to commemorate this great alliance, by inviting your ruler to visit our glorious capital of Constantinople.
 
Also note that the Muslims took way more casualties during the conquest of Carthage than the Christians.

And the entire Axumite nation was ruthlessly destroyed with few casualties to me. ;)

I imagine that also has something to do with the surprise attack aspect of the fighting.

Our declaration of neutrality extended to you, something we made clear. We are extremely angered with your actions to involve yourself in this crusade, and we demand that you withdraw your activity immediately. Do so now and you may consider yourself only warned, and not punished.
