Volume 13 - Butua
Chapter 2 - Integrating Mutapa



This peace ends in…uh oh…January 1472, so that’s decades from now, I don’t know if they’ll be alive then.

17 Dec – Royal Marriage with Kilwa, still no wife

Lundu is Maravi’s vassal so I cannot make them my next target of expansion, I’ll have to go elsewhere

1 Jan, 1447 – I choose Mutapa as our rival

Kilwa took Sena next to us and Mutua to use them as a target of expansion, so I couldn’t take it in the war, so I cannot core those in war and take them, which means that I cannot expand into Lundu while they are a vassal of Maravi unless I end that alliance.

One way to end it would be to declare Maravi my other rival, and then grab Lundu in a future as my other rival.

Royal Marriage with Tumbuka

We now have a new consort – Nyangu, 3/3/0. Age 31. A bit old, but hopefully we’ll get an heir.

I choose Maravi as my other rival, and lose my alliance with them

They reciprocate

1 Feb – I order a core for Tete

1 May - I claim Mutapa’s Sena

28 Aug – I begin to build a spy network in Maravi

1 Jan, 1448 – I upgrade my stability from -2 to -1

Mutapa is at war with Kilwa and Sofala

Makua too

11 June - Cores finished in everything but Tete

2 July – Tete finished

I now have a forcelimit of 7k, my army size, and then I am making 3.07 – I order another 1k cavalry in Massapa

1 October – I claim:

Mutapa’s Manyika and Lundu’s capital of lundu

My cavalry is built and I am now making 1.95, I order another 1k infantry built in Tete and I order my army there.

2 Dec - Army built, now I am making 1.00. I order another 1k
