Volume 12 - Theodoro
Chapter 116 - The First Theodoro/Yemen War


1 Jan, 1695 – I claim Yemen’s Incense holding of Shihr

1 Feb - I hire a Conquistador for the Horn of Africa army heading down to my new colonial area internal of Tanga’s Trading Post, and then I order some troops built in Tanga to help build up my 13k Horn of Africa army.

Yemen and their allies:

Yemen: 78k

Mamluks: What’s left? 7k


Horn of African nations:

Mombasa: 23k
Warsangli: 6k
Mahra: 0

I order one army to our trading post of Tajura where the Star Fort is done, and the rest of my armies from Persia to Arabia to get ready on the border with Yemen, and then when we’re ready I’ll order mercs in the Horn of Africa holdings to help out.

I’ll hire 45k mercs for Qardho on the Horn of Africa and 30k mercs in Tajura to help keep us on a fast win.

30 April - Our troops arrive in Tajura

1 June – I hire the mercs and order a general for the 30k in Tajura

Our Navigator adviser passes and I hire a level 3 Trader

21 June – Our Conquistador arrives in Tanga

10 July – I kill the natives in Shamba and head north to Taveta also next to Tanga and can be colonized

5 Aug – I kill the natives in Taveta, and now move inner to hidden places westward

26 Sept – I declare war on Yemen for Qishn. I do not call my allies

I order my 45k mercs in Qardho to the holding next door to the Fort of Todgdeer of Warsangli

I order my two armies in Tajura into Yemen’s Mukha

I order my two armies in Dhofar into three holdings away in Shihr

I order my two armies in Wusta into Qishin my wartarget two in,

I order my reserve in Masirah next door to Al Ghaydah

30 Oct – We begin fighting against a 21k Yemeni army in Shihr

3 Nov – Mukha is ours and I order this next door for the Fort of Adan

7 Nov – We rout the army

5 Dec – I capture my three fast holdings in Yemen with my five armies, and I order them on.

9 Dec – I arrive a Adan and launch a fusillade.

19 Dec – Our colonists have arrived at Shamba and set up

I pull them and send them to Taveta

30 Jan, 1696 – I capture two minors in Warangli, and three in Yemen

03 Feb – my Conquistador begins a siege of Mombasa’ capital

20 Feb – A 24k Yemeni army is besieging us in Al-Qatif, I order my reserve to head over and oust it

9 Mar – Another minor falls

31 Mar – Aden falls and my warscore is now 35%

I head to the Fort of San’a

1 May - I begin the Siege of San’a and star with a fusillade

22 May – Another minor in Yemen falls

31 May – They capture Qatar, I order two more armies to head back

5 July – Two more minors fall and I move these two armies to help San’a.

21 July – They capture our holding in Hofuf

27 July – I have three armies with 95k troops in Muscat to head back slowly

5 Sept – I defeat a 30k strong Yemeni army in Liwa

21 Sept – They capture Al Qatif

24 Oct – We recapture Qatar

29 Nov – We recapture Hofuf

1 Feb, 1697 – We capture San’a I order my forces next door to the Star Fort of Sahda

5 Feb – White peace with Mombasa after we are blitzing them

Our colonists set up in Taveta

9 Feb – We finish the siege in Warsangali’s Togdheer, next is their capital of Sanaag

We now have a warscore of 68%

15 Feb – Warsangali offers me a peace for War Reparations some ash and we get no badboy. I say no

17 Feb – The siege of their Fort of Sahda has begun with a fusillade

16 Mar - I capture a minor Warsanagli holding

26 Mar – The Siege of Al Qatif is over and we recaptured it!

I order this 95k army three armies back to Yemen

5 April – The Capital of Warsangali is ours, we now have all of their holdings

I have a warscore of 76%

Let’s do peace with them now, since they connect my Horn of Africa holding and some wealthier places I can take, I don’t want big badboy though

It’s 42 badboy to remove their 5 holdings from the map, they have Slaves, Incense, and one cheap 4 badboy Fish that connects my holdings.

Here are the three I am taking for 16 badboy:



I spend 53 ADM power coring them.

Garoowe – Horn of Africa, connects us at Qardo and Hobyo, Fishers here, Coastal Desert, 3 dev, 4 badboy to take it, Arid, makes us nothing, Somali culture and Sunni faith.

Togdheer – Star Fort, Highlands, 4 dev. Slaves traded here, internal, connects our holdings in the Horn of Africa with the former capital of Warsangli, Sunni and Somali, 0.08 made here

Sanaag – The former capital, Gulf of Aden, next to Togdheer, Incense here, Workshop and Marketplace built here, 5 dev, coastal desert, Arid, 0.02 made her,

I disband my mercs

9 May – Peace offer from Yemen they offer the three places I have cores on, 955 ducats, and war reparations for 38.5 badboy

I decline, let’s see what the 72% warscore can do?

I go War Reparations and these four holdings for 47.8 badboy:



I spend down to 219 ADM power coring them

Al Ghaydah – Fishing here, coastal desert, 7 dev, arid, Shipyard here, Sunni believers, Mahri culture, makes us 0.02, just what is needed to get me to the good stuff.

Qishn – Incense, Shipyard, Conscription Center, Arid, Coastal Desert, 11 dev, Mahri and Sunni, makes us 0.06

Shihr – Incense, Arid, Natural Harbor, 22 Dev, Trade Station manufactory, Shipyard, Conscription Center, Stock Exchange, Yemeni culture, Sunni faith, 017 made here, Coastal Desert

Mukalla – 17 dev, Coastal Desert, Incense, Shipyard, Conscription Center, Trade Station, Arid, Yemeni, Sunni, Arid, 0.55 made here
