Chapter 2: All of Teh Ponehs
So Trotsky had a sudden craving for women... Gotta love him
His love of ponies was further shown as he gave more help in pony form.
Using the new Russian cataphract, Wild Fire, we took Balanjar. More land yay!
I got news in my palace that a general had died, and immediately I knew whose it was...
Taking full advantage of a war with Saladin and using the gifted ponies I took the land of Nishapur. Unfortunately Trotsky got all whiny and wanted it, claiming it to be his. He gave a fair deal though, the city of Budapest to Russia for Nishapur, it was fair enough. So I accepted.
Trotsky told me not to talk to French people...
He also told me you would screw me up...
Great minds think alike.
So it seems as though he didn't like the name of his capital. Now I know the true reason he wanted Byzantium.
Charlemagne proposed a deal to end the wars with Trotsky. I wasn't sure what to do, figured that if he was at war he wanted to be so I said no. Also I was exploring Mongolian lands for, no reason.

I also met China and traded techs I got from Trotsky and other Europeans for gunpowder and education. This would be my bargaining tool for awhile.
Since Trotsky said yes I guess it was okay that it succeeded. Also, I told him about my plans to deal with the Mongolian menace.
Because of the generosity from Trotsky before, I helped him out by giving him the knowledge of gunpowder.
I got a great spy. I thought about using him against my little brother so I could see him and what he was doing, but then I realized that I don't know if I want to...
I launched my secret plan. My plan to kill Mongolia so they would not bother me. My Twilight Sparkle attacked and killed their defenders. Then Wild Fire finished the job.
Like the amazing brother he is, Trotsky declared war on Mongolia. He even spent his soldiers life taking a city for me. Those bastards. I swooped in and killed every Mongolian in sight.
The current state of our conjoined empire was more than impressive. It was beautiful.
