Probably TTG4?

[TTG4]

I've got it and will get to it when I can which at the very least will be around a week

[Gen_Glory]

no worries

So this was rather eventful.

Boring stuff first, I converted some spare castles to cities, keeping Toledo as a recruitment factory. I've also sent 4 more merchants south to Timbuktu, there are some gold/ivory/slaves to the right of our current merchant and I think some more gold/ivory to the left in a different province.

Now for some fun, the pope sent some troops to our shores. They left right away though, but turned down a request to be reconciled even when given free reign to set the requirements. So I recruited an assassin to train up for pope killing as I've seen some last until their early 90s and this one was only 60. Fortunately for us, he died in a few turns and one of our cardinals was elected pretty much unaminously. So that reversed the popes opinion on us and France. I had decided to try to hit France hard while the pope couldn't do anything about it, but carried on because he's on the verge of excommunicating them. I got bordeoux, but didn't reach touluse in my time. Our pope didn't last and is now a polish pope, but the changes in relationships should help a lot!

Who's next?

[Gen_Glory]

damn nicely done, I would of kept pamplona a castle until toulouse was secured, I doubt the moors will be a threat unless we make them so, even then the straits can be blocked by a navy, so toledo could easily be converted into a city soon

[Cuddly Khan]

Haha, I had this one assassin that had killed the pope 8+ times in a row. Fun times.

[Gen_Glory]

You know I've never actually done it, always ignored him, don't you get a unique assassin cut-scene?

[Cuddly Khan]

I think so, but cut scenes annoyed me so I stopped them from showing up.

[Silver Wolf]

This one:

[Cuddly Khan]

Ah, I see. I never got that one. I only even got them whilst they were out and about.

[comrade_general]

Quite the badass.

[Tom]

Whose go is it next? I need to have a practice before I take my first turn though :/

[TTG4]

I think Dripping D is next on the list, but if someone else wants to hop in I'll send it along

[comrade_general]

DD just had the turn before you so it would be me next if no one else jumps in.

[comrade_general]

Toulouse was taken without loss, and then the Pope wanted peace between us and France, so we're sitting easy on that front for now.

The Moors were totally ripe for the taking, so our glorious King took a great force across the sea and literally strolled into the city of Algiers, while further to the west a smaller force is on its way south to take out the small garrison in whatever city is over there.

Otherwise I've just been filling up the construction queues and assassinating things and people.

Who's next?
