7 Nov – Hedjaz declares war on Yemen.

28 Nov – I accept Hedjaz’s call to arms and order the army in Beni Yas to Dhofar.

21 Feb, 1447 – We arrive in Mahra to begin a siege with all 7000 of our troops.

We are currently making 1.68 ducats monthly with the upkeep for our units and the advisor.

14 May – We lose badly against a superior Yemeni force and are ousted.

10 June – We get a National Epic for a decade for our people.

6 July – We gain a claim on Qatar and finish the mission

The next one chosen is to take Qatar.

24 July - We captured some Yemeni ships in a few battles.

4 Aug – Their forces begin a siege in Dhofar. I order our troops to try them out. They just lost a battle in Mahra to Hedjaz, so I might be able to force them.

13 Sept – And we do win. I order our forces to Mahra.

11 Jan, 1448 – Beni Yas is now officially a core province.

2 Feb – I increase our stability to max

9 Jul – I lose 25 piety to bring in men of science to our land form Christian lands.

1 Aug – Hedjaz lost a major battle against the combined forces of Yemen and Adal.

17 Nov – We capture Mahra. I order our forces into deeper Yemen.

12 jan, 1449 – We lose in the siege of deeper.

20 Feb – We capture another Yemeni ship – we now have our max ten ships.

12 Jun – We win again and drive the Yemeni forces back.

16 jan, 1450 – We assault and capture another province.

22 April – I sue for peace with Yemen independently of Hedjaz, who is holding us back. The overall warscore is +1 but ours is really high. We take Mahra, even though it makes us look a little bad. I could have taken just Hadhramaut, which is better, but I wanted the contiguous district. We get some financial stuff too.


I disband our mercs.


Mahra – Beduin and Sunni, this 1 tax base province just makes fish. Plus its Arid. It gives a nice land connection to Yemen in Hadhramaut. Very little money from it. I order a core for here instead of a missionary – I don’t want the added revolt risk. It’s already at 10%.
