Tis evident. Likewise its a consequence for Tyo not expanding his navy beyond a single fleet. Doesn't change the fact though that the big-picture situation is not in the Palatinates advantage. (or possibly Polands, depending on how Tyo spins things)

Abyssinia announces that it will consult the Atlantic Confederacy in matters of foreign policy from now on, as well as pay an annual sum for its protection. (Client status)
The Chief of the Crow is proud to announce that while all faiths remain tolerated, the state henceforth has embraced Christianity. Specifically of the democratic variety - Lutheranism.

==Caribbean War==
The gentle seas of the Caribbean, spared the carnage that tears northern Europe apart at this very moment, have now turned stormy. The Arawak have proclaimed that all Kalingo peoples shall be beneath their rule, and a chain of alliances has pulled the Inca into the conflict. The Inca now stand as guardians of the Aztecs and Choctaw, former allies of the Arawak who abandoned them at the first threat of annexation. The Arawak have their own significant alliances, with the Cherokee and Apache as supporters, though they must also govern a vast occupied territory inherited from the Caracol and Creek. The new war has given the Caracol and Creek warriors hope, however, and numerous soldiers have rushed to join the forces of the Mexica and Choctaw, respectively.
--Battle of the Mississippi--
The Arawak’s first target is the Choctaw. While their fleets move to severe the trade arteries on the seas, on ground 8 armies march on the capital, finding it undefended, and keep on marching until they are met at the Mississippi River. They are met by 11 regulars and 9 Conscripts.
The Arawak emerge victorious and seize 5 provinces. The Choctaw lose 2 armies, but the Arawak lose 4. They are forced to abandon the capital for the time being.
--Battle of Tenochtitlan--
The Aztec Emperor finishes a ritual to Inti just before the arrival of Arawak forces. They number a powerful 12 divisions, but the Aztecs boast 12 regulars and 12 Conscripts. The Arawak fare very well, scoring a huge victory over the Aztecs and destroying 4 divisions. The Aztecs likewise inflict 4 losses on the Arawak. The Arawak occupy 7 provinces. Unfortunately for the Arawak, the Emperor has already fled to the Inti-worshipping north.
Bad news arrives from the south shortly after the battle is over, however. While the Creek remain fearful of the Cherokee and so have remained docile, the Caracol people have sensed an opportunity to regain independence and have thrown off the yoke in the southern parts of the country. With all armies on campaign and the local militias being of little use in such a loosely-governed (the territory only passed under Arawak control due to a surrender rather than a conquest) territory, the rebels – brandishing weapons that one ponders how they afforded them – were able to liberate no less than five provinces and establish a provisional capital. The navy has kept an iron grip on the Caribbean coast of Caracol, but the interior has been lost.
The new Caracol government have declared themselves allies with the Inca, expressing this sentiment by converting to the Incan faith. The local pagans don’t seem to favor it, however, as no province becomes majority-Inti.
--Battle of the Caribbean—
5 Arawak fleets attack the Choctaw’s 2.
It is a Renaissance-era curbstomp. The Choctaw fleet is sent to the bottom and their lands placed under blockade. Arawak loses no fleets.
--Battle of the Northern Antis—
Local security forces are blown away by Inca forces, who evict the Arawak from South America in a mostly-bloodless battle due to all Arawak military troops being away on campaign.

To the Caracol:
You already surrendered your land. We were going to treat you as equals in our Federation of Kalingo worshipers, but no longer. If all Caracol soldiers do not immediately lay down their arms and return to the status quo (as part of the Arawak Federation), the Caracol nation will be pillaged, destroyed, annihilated, razed to the ground.

To the Caracol:
Do not listen to the Arawak, They seek only the exploitation of your land, people, and resources. Join with me against these aggressors who seek to take away our independence and our resources for their own nefarious purposes.
You have seen what they have done, you see their treatment of the people that fight against them. Individually we cannot fight against them and their allies, but together, we can AND WE WILL! stand up against aggression and tyranny.
Join us, regain your freedom, regain your strength, regain your glory.
May Inti guide us!

Excluding the potentiality you were involved elsewhere, I think I can answer that. Its because its actually in your interests to involve yourself in such a way that the war drags out with minimal damage to you, but towards inevitable victory. That way your allies are kept weak and indebted to Songhai power while you still achieve your strategic geopolitical objectives

Not everyone is you.
I actually told Mosher he could order my troops around and stuff and confirmed it with Tany. I think I had to do a major project that day which I only barely finished before the deadline.

Actually in my professional opinion Jehoshua's concept of alliances is actually the wisest.
Though it was ultimately because Mosher's orders did not order Songhai troops around.
This conflict is going to last a while. Gleeee.

Some more war updates…
==Burmese War of Expansion==
Toungoo’s forces will stop at nothing to claim what they perceive as their birthright: the crown of Lang Xang. The Burmese military enjoys a Pyrrhic victory, defeating the Laotians yet again at the loss of 3 divisions. The Laotians lose 2. Burma seizes 4 provinces.
Its administration neglected, the Burmese King crafts a new buffer state between Burma and Laos that operates with a strictly civilian focus. This puppet regime of Great Shan is designed in a manner that it will eventually be re-absorbed into the Burmese Empire. The move is so bold that it absorbs the Laotian capital into the newly-created entity, forcing an official relocation to the south.

My essay is due tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to update tomorrow.

The Sicilian government has noticed a clerical error in the last papal conclave, and therefore has declared that the Bishop of Messania, Pope Paul IV, is the actual Pope, and that it would be wise for all god-fearing Catholics to accept this one true Pope.

This attestation by the Sicilian Kingdom, whom we have been allied with, and whom we fought besides in the Reconquista for their good and the good of Christendom is a clear attempt by the Sicilian king to usurp control of the local church there. It is absurd in the extreme, for there has only been friendship between the papacy and Sicily in years past, and seeing as the protocols of conclave require all ballots to be burnt and for total secrecy to be maintained on pain of excommunication, the justification of the Sicilian government is patently falsified.
Hence, the King of Sicily and his ministers are excommunicated until such time as they repent of his error, and return with contrite heart to the unity of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

~ In the last days of the papacy of Julius III, His Holiness seeking to restore unity to the sicilian church lifted the excommunication of the antipope in Messania, that the conclave might make a decision on his claims. For truly no doctrinal error was manifest in sicily.
Thus upon his death the conclave elected the Bishop of Messania, Paul IV, to the papacy.
