Chapter 169 - The Second Theodoro/Kongo War
1 Jan, 1790 – This year our truce with Kongo is up in December. I can purchase a new Age of Revolutions ability:
Improved Force March – It doesn’t cost monarch power
2 Aug – Event: Regional Nobility Challenge Theodoro – I choose to make nice to avoid a mass rebellion in Siraf. Instead the nobles get +10% influence and we get for 20 years -50% tax and production in Siraf
1 Sept – Portugal is at war with Kilwa uh oh. I decline them and their colonial nations access.
1 Dec – Our truce with Kongo is up. I order three generals. That’s the max that gives me 7 generals and the most I can have before my MIL Power will drop.
I declare war for Kongo’s Fortress at Upemba next to me
I order:
36k into Bunyoro in Lake Victoria for their ally
Four armies into Upemba
Two into their minor holding of Kaonde
Two into their Fort of Kusu with two more two join from deeper and a month or so away
