I originally planned on walking the first steps on the way towards a mediterranean Island empire, but than Naples threw a core at me. Edit: Apparently, the forum cuts of half of the picture, but if you can click on it you can see our eastern possesions in Crete and Naxos. Also worth mentioning is that we own a fleet of 3 Carracks and some galleys, which is next to our allies in Aragon the single strongest fleet in the mediterranean area. Of course, countries like the English, Castille, or any of the other stronger northern naval powers could still wipe the floor with us, which is something that needs to be addressed in due time. In your personal settings can set it to adjust the image size of the forum window. I can see the whole picutre that way.  Aslo, you should make it a rule that you have to PM the guy next in line or people will start to forget. | ||

Looking around the mediterranean lands the most interesting prospect was the reconquest of jerusalem, the previously powerful rulers of mameluks in egypt had been plagued by civil war and had lost their holdings in jerusalem to their fellow mulism algiers nation. Algiers navy is quite powerful and potentially a danger to ours, so ensuring a successful invasion of jerusalem would require either an expensive buildup of the navy or the support of aragon, the support of our ally aragon i would take for granted if it wasn't for them being constantly involved in fighting with hungary and the ottoman empire over the oh-so-precious albania (only like the poorest province in whole mainland europe) Telling aragon to reorganize their priorities was not an easy task, but eventually the truces must be signed and i quickly assured them that they could count me out as a friend and ally if they didn't get their shit together. Having a strong ally finally at peace and ready to support my endeavor, enough cogs to transport my forces over to jerusalem and a leader to lead my "army" of 11000 men, i quickly declared holy war upon the Muslim devils of algiers. The landing in gaza went successful but the algier forces located in jerusalem was ready to meet my forces in pitched battle: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/UFgps.jpg) With the heroic victory at gaza, conquest of jerusalem would only be a matter of time and algiers having their mainland sieged by aragon quickly conceded! In god, we trust!. The celebrations and peace didn't last for too long however, aragon still being in possession of albania drew me into another war with the ottoman empire who at this time had recognized me as their most capable foe and invaded mainland italy! putting my trust in my crusader army and blessed leader vincenzo cotleone i send them back to defend my core provinces. The navy got into several hard fights with the many galleys of ottoman empire circling the coasts of southern italy and making a secure landing proved harder than i expected, and when i finally got my troops in place to engage the ottomans my fleet was in no position to bail them out as disaster struck... i accidentally missed to take a screenshot of the battle but believe me your eyes would bleed from the massacre, our entire army had been annihilated! pushed into the sea by the zealous ottoman forces, crushed between galleyfire from the shores and repeated charges from organized and experienced ottoman cavalry forces led by leaders which had experienced countless wars. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/IOUV4.jpg) The news was surely disastrous... but i believe god had a reason for this. The maintenance costs of the army had been higher than my lands could sustain in the long run, and the leader of aragon was the one responsible the war against ottoman empire, so i had just to wait out their peace talks to be safe. I quickly put our scrambled navy back together in a valiant defence of our home island of sicily, the ottoman galleys couldn't punch through and our homeland was safe. the ottomans couldn't sustain an occupation in italy in the long run and eventually signed a white peace with aragon, with no enemies in the immediate future i used the time to improve our economy, get our increasing inflation down a bit and spend my resources converting jerusalem and the neighbouring gaza province into catholics. As my reign was now nearing an end i took one last look at what i could do to improve the situation for the next glorious leader, the conquest mission against napoli was still active and milan was now again involved in a war against austria! the perfect opportunity had finally come, the conquest was swift and without any hiccups: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/3c7Tz.jpg) edit: here's the save, and sending PM to next participant. http://www.mediafire.com/?kydlk6o463119l0 also congratz me for 3k posts here's our current status, added provinces under my turn was Napoli (cored) Judea and gaza, as well as epirus as a vassall, allthough that could prove more trouble than it's worth. Damascus even though the same colour doesn't belong to us. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DEX7t.jpg) | ||

I think you should take that Papal Land, or just more Italian land ASAP. It's so fucking rich, and it's getting close to that time where the alliances are such a web of retard that it will be impossible to attack anyone. Go for Sardinia! Steal the CoT from Ligura! EDIT: Or conquer the holy land, that's fun too. lol | ||

...With these that should cover the Islamic holy cities and we could move on to Hindu (the whole Ganges?) and Buddhism (I have no clue). Convert them all, for the one true faith! Btw: Why isn't it possible to convert to some Islamic faith as european (or what do i need to do to make this possible?) . | ||
