Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Three - The Old and the Infirm



23 Mar – I disband my 15k mercs

7k ordered to Nyatura

I’ll keep 3 armies here in Kilwa for our war with Somalia, and one will return to West Africa

I order 31k to Mzizma, Tumbuka and Sena

33k ordered to West Africa

I order Conscription Centers here:

Dongola
Ras Gareb
Qusayr
Azawagh
Baghena
Wagadu
Termes
Calabar
Upper Limpopo

That puts me at 2846

Somalia’s current allies – Indian Ocean - Mahra – one province don’t care
Aden – Arabia – 51k – my navy can stop them from crossing the strait and camp it
Malay Peninsula’s Kedah – Don’t care

Ideally I can take the three Red Sea provinces down to the strait of Tajura to stop the Turks from going around me into Africa

I order my navy to camp and heal up. We captured a Kilwan vessel we need to repair

30 April - Extra diplomat send to make nice with Delhi

I spend 50 MIL to claim Holy War

7 June – Event – Diplomatic Insult, I play nice and raise relations by 60 in many

23 July – I pull my Sale diplomat

I send it to Tetuaon

25 Aug – Event – I spend 10 prestige to make nice with clergy

22 Nov – Event – Rotten Boroughs - Majils seat swaps from Zimbabwe to Timbuktu and I lose a stability

I spend 159 ADM to raise it back

4 Dec – Zanzibar converts!

1 Jan, 1687 – I order:

Conscription Centers here:

Tekrur
Galam
Tagant
Brakna
Bangazi
Bardiya
As-Suways

That leaves us 3081 for emergencies

1 Feb – Quantity Idea #6 – The Old and the Infirm – We lose -5% maintained cost

1 May – Peace with Air is up, but I am waiting for my future war with Somalia, so I don’t want to build that up after rebuilding from Kilwa’s war

31 July – Atakora converts!

1 Sept – Tura – Siberia – The last one and our final colonial option. – South of Pelym – Surrounded by Muscovy, 3 dev, Mountains, Algerian Ibadi Naval Supplies make us 0.03, Naval Supplies

I order my 4k army back to east Siberia and then to head to the Indies
