The Historical Hegemon Series
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
