Spain is bordered to the south-east and the east by the Fatamids (pistachio), and by the Hasans (Light Grey). The Byzantine Empire (pink) is divided into three parts: two territories in Southern Italy, the huge mass of territory in the Balkans, and a smaller, but considerable territory in the Crimea and further east, extending even outside this snapshot. The English Kingdom is divided into two: the territories of the UK and their other territories in Greece and Anatolia. The territories in brown are the possession of the Crown of the Bohemia whereas the Dark Grey in southern Italy is the Kingdom of Sicily. The territories in blue in France and Corsica are all that remains of the once prosperous kingdom of France. I am at war with Aquitaine (shown in urple) already so bridging my territories in Spain, Brittany and the Netherlands together may be happening sooner than I could ever think. I also hope to be able to expand further south in Africa. I hope to be able to connect my territory in Israel with my territories in Anatolia. The yellow all over the place is obviously Hispania. Thanks again to my great mentor, inspiration, and tumblr-friend ancient-rome-au who ran an even more awesome EU4 Byzantines campaign, I have a template which I can use to bring clearer and selective information about my Empire’s (and maybe setbacks but I hope there won’t be any fingers crossed.

The double victory also coincided with the birth of a bastard (Prince Samuel) to the empress who was quickly legitimised and declared Heir Apparent. The war against Algrave was proceeding slowly but before it could be terminated news reached the Imperial Court at Burgos that the Malakids had declared Jihad for Seville but, led by the valiant Empress, the enemy was defeated in their thousands on the coasts of Hispania, wherever they chose to land, and the war on Algrave was concluded successfully. The regency, thankfully soon ended and the Empress married a Byzantine Prince matrilineally. He was succeeded by the 16-year old Empress Frolinda. To distract himself from his grief, the Emperor declared De Jure war on the Emirate for Algrave for the province of Shlib, but before he could even march out and lead his armies, the Emperor succumbed to illness and died. Popular Customs, Construction, Siege Equipment and Legalism at Level IV were researched. The celebrations however, were marred by the news of the death of the Emperor’s only male offspring, Prince Samuel. This cost loads of gold and piety but it also meant that Kingdoms that were inherited by second sons or people outside the dynasty would not pass from my domain.Ī Grand Tournament was held in order to celebrate the formation of the Hispanic Empire. This meant that I effectively controlled 81% of the territory that belonged to the Empire of Hispania, allowing me to finally form the Empire for myself. The three enemy armies were quickly defeated and the claim pressed. He was joined by the Abbasids and Mercia.

With this in mind, Zun is at least slightly different from other Pagans so I guess we can live without raiding since they get other bonuses, being a mixture of defensive/offensive pagans. 'Judged by the sun' (is this just elaborate 'Execution' button or can it do something else, such as convert the guy to Zun and send him back to his lieges court?) ' More civilized than rest of you smelly lot!' = not stuck to gavelkind, feudal, no raiding. In other pagan games, missionaries are a rare occurrence) Improved taxation = missionaries who walk to your dungeon and give you monie$ (seriously, in my game I got four missionaries to my jail in first two months. Increased defensive/offensive power to heavy infantry (instead of usual homeland defense, makes sense since only three provinces are Zunist) Ok, so Zun is like this at the moment based on CK2 wiki and personal observation? Can anyone confirm?Ĭan ally with other Pagans via marriage = Tengri (others are too far)įemale temple holders (or at least female court chaplain)
