Also this turn, the traitorous citizens of Rata Tomik revolted and rejoined the French! Thanks to the explorer pillaging their saltpeter, only a spear remained, and was quickly killed. The city was reportedly starved to size 1.
Meanwhile, the path north continues, as Rik Meleet and his Dutch Cannon Brigade lead the way into the heart of France!
Yet another invasion attempt by the Portuguese occurs on nearly the same spot as earlier in the turnchat. They were quickly dealt with, however, no great leaders spawned this time.
Also this turn, rioting was going on in Naples due to war wariness. Several of these unproductive citizens were quickly turned into scientists.
Now the real fun begins! Rik's cannons bombarded Paris to weaken their units. The Crusader in the area was soon dealt with. The Ancient Cavalry tried to attack our units, and lost.
Back on the eastern front, France has sent a longbow from their far-flung colony. This unit, too, was quickly defeated.
