stGMNES2: The Middle Ages

Byzantine Story

Long Live the Byzantine Emperor, who dwells in Constantinople, the Empire was growing again. During his rule of 20 years, Byzantium was growing again. But now, it's ally Venice and Sicily was at war. Which side the Byzantine Empire will choose the Emperor alone will decide. The choices were very hard to make, but the Emperor knew how to make them, but then, some ppl thought, the government was very effective when they had a strong Emperor, but a weak one could bring everything down. But a too strong and arrogant Emperor could do the same thing, like Emperor Herclius, when he fought a dismal war with the Arabs.

But those things were from the past, the Emperor Alexander, was unrivaled, there was only 2 Emperors in the past that could rival him, Emperor Constantine, and Justinian. The days of Glory was approaching the peasant thought and it was just getting better.

The peasants didn't no, but the Emperor was soon going to reach 50, having rose to the throne at 16. He had heirs, many, but there was only 1 that could qualify... So to prevent any civil wars, he had decided to put the heir's name in a sealed box and given to his most trusted ministers. And soon, victory will either be back to the realms of Rome, or defeat once again...

We have offered Venice a most profitable peace deal. If they choose not to accept it than that is every christian nations problem. We have acted quickly in force and if Venice chooses to continue a useless war then so be it.
 
The Mongols preaperd. The Himalaya were behind them and now an invasion of the Indian nations would begin.

Like a lightning storm 15000 horse archers entered India and destoried or inslaved anything on the way. In Delhi they stopped for the first time infront of a walled city and begin firing fire arrows at the wooden gates and wooden structres inside.

It will take 15 years to break into Delhi and conquer the Indian subcontinent.

Orders
Continue calling for more raiders to join me.
Bank eco.
Invade India with 15000 archers and raid it and steal money and start taking tribute. Stop at Delhi to begin a mighty siege with flaming arrows.
Rest will expand a BIT to the north and will continue taking tribute from the rest of the empire.

To Sicily:
From the Pope:
We cannot abide an aggressor. However, we will lift the interdict on Naples; in its place will be the excommunication of your King alone.

Wonder: "Bank of Sweden" (+5 economy)
 
OOC: How much does it cost to build walls, castles, and fortresses?
 
To build walls or a castle around a city is free, though it might take more than one turn. If you have a huge fortification program in mind, PM me the details and I'll tell you if it will cost anything, and if so how much.
 
Orders:

you blitz us when we are unprepraed, and dare to call it a beating? sir, we have not yet even begun to fight ;)
 
To Sicily, Venice

Since this quarreling between two Christian nations can only lead to the heathens expanding in the Med, and no one wants that. England proposes you sumbit your conflict to Papal meditation, since the root of this is the islands of Cyrpus and Crete why not ask an impartial nation to mediate?
