So, I know you were all morons last round and wanted to do your own thing (Wtf) but here's what I want to do (posted it last time but was ignored):

>Everyone splits up >Mongols attack everyone individually >Holy [cabbage] Mongols are strong when they outnumber us 2 to 1! ........

Just forget him Icu! It's not worth the pain

Even I have more than that!

Retech has posted they're invading this year.

Yes please Ross :D

I know that, but there's no reason for it.. Historically accurate isn't needed if it also means imbalance! edit: meh oh and can i request at the next map update that line across Sweden is removed

Why make it unnaturally larger than the rest of the countries for no reason? Thank you Rocco. Also, Retech, when do we 'discover' the Eastern Lands? i.e. When can we strike back at the Mongols?

No. You just get the Greece area, Paul is the (southern) Italian states.

Mongol battle plan: The plan is to invite them towards our castle, but leaving a warband as bait, to bring them close. The warband will be the fastest troops we have. I believe that Nex is using his Hlaupari (sp) in this, so they will do this purpose. Likewise, the ground around the castle will be rigged with traps lain by the Burgundian men. Once the Mongols are in dissarray, the footsoldiers of Kiev, France & anyone else who is kind and christian will sally out and begin the slaughter.

The Crusade was led by the king of Leon, no? So it is he who makes the gains. I was committing my troops because I believed we were unifying Spain for Dusty! Does this mean you will commit troops to stem the mongols? Isn't Ireland free too?

So that's 40k so far..

You're not helping, Icu?

How many troops do we have? Kiev has 25000 M/PAA and my nobility..

He got the money in their strongbox this time around (what he's already had), but Sweden's income is mine after that.

Thanks. So do I get Sweden now? :D

[hide=Uhm, guys...][/hide]

Read your [bleep]ing PM's properly Retech. Also, upon reading my PM's I realise that I only instructed you to only spend 5 million to raise 10k MAA, not the 20k that you have given me. It's a minor thing but seriously dude.

I think it's sensible to consider that if we thoroughly thrash the Mongols this time around, they will be slower in coming back.

Until the decade is over, the entirety of Kiev's army is about 23000 M/PAA's (including the 3000 deployed in the first 5 years), and the nobles of Kiev. And ultimately: Horses need to rest more than men. And being in land native to the Kievan army, it makes sense that we could arrange our army in such a way beneficial to us before the Mongolians could form up and attack. My main plea is that the crusade happens this year!

The king would be travelling with his court & his funds would be in a strongbox as part of the caravan.

But I captured their strongbox :(

I dislike that we get the treasuries of conquered lands before the round is up. Furthermore, as I captured the king, I almost certainly captured the treasury of Sweden as it would have been carried in a strongbox with him. I'm not going to dispute this if I get Norway, but yeah.

The Danish islands, Nex?

No, the Crusade was called against Cordoba and it shall fight Cordoba.
