Gonna declare for me and greg's conflict. [editline]25th October 2014[/editline] [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/YjFXFJ.png[/IMG] Conflicts with Moor troops along the Northern side of the Po river are intense, but H.R.E. troops with their overwhelming numbers force the Moor troops to retreat East. Pushed all the way back to the edge of the sea on only fifty kilobongers from Venezia, the Moors find themselves entrapped as hundreds of Venetian militia fill the Eastern front. The Moor troops make their final stand in that very spot, fighting Holy Roman and Papal troops alike until the bitter end. Having eliminating the last forces standing in the way of controlling the North side of Po, the Holy Roman forces link up with the Venetian militias and backtrack West to the Northern banks of the Po, where the allied forces prepare for a final assault on the last of the weakened and surrounded Muslim strongholds in Italy.

Declare [editline]25th October 2014[/editline] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Tsul1BP.png[/IMG] Two Naval parties prepare to start Traveling south to annex land.

[img]http://i.cubeupload.com/39WVZO.png[/img] A part of Macedonia is annexed and a lot of gold discovered. However, as governing the land is becoming increasingly difficult, a sort of a "state-within-state" has been created as County of Serbia. Only de jure independent, it's purpose is to simply administer the lands in the name of the king. The rest of the annexation has been transferred to it. It is ruled by the king's brother and is completely dependent on the king for military. The gold deposits are however a part of Serbia proper. One of the three forts in Bulgaria has been pretty much unused, and can now be considered a town, as people have settled near it. The northern lands have been discovered as ridiculously fertile, and best of all, the natives here are much easier to take care of than in the south. A small annexation is taking place in the Italian lands too, by all official information, this is supposed to be a trading port, even though the fort being constructed is quite large.

The colonial Moors are weakened by the crusade done against them at the turn of the century, but they are still strong and are getting stronger each and every day. Attempted annexations by Castille are met by harsh resistance from two allied Muslim strongholds, and the Portugese West Caliphate rallies a thousand swordsmen to counter Spanish claims. Similarly, the Central Spanish Caliphate rallies a combined arms force of artillery, cavalry, and infantry to combat Spanish incursions in the region.

[img]http://i.cubeupload.com/vlcxmf.png[/img] This year starts with some good news and some bad news. The good news is, Serbia is now majority Orthodox. The bad news is, the king died. The kings brother, Lazar, takes the throne. He, however keeps the title of being the count of Serbia. This indicates a possible merging of the states. Another evidence to this is the fact that another great claim has been added but directly to Serbia. In the north, only a part of Pannonia has been annexed, due to a outbreak of disease. In Italy, the town quickly grows. Another port is being made in the south.
