Allah calls
14 Jan, 1480 – I declare war for Asir on Yemen – their alliance with the Timuids was over. Just them and Sind.
Gujarat leaves us alone but Haasa and Hedjaz join us.
19 Feb – We oust the defending forces and begin a siege of Asir. I leave behind a siege unit and move on to Najran, where 6000 Yemeni forces gather
23 March – We win in Najran and begin a siege here too.
2 Apr – Some mercs arrived in Sana’a
24 Oct – Najran falls to us. Again.
12 Nov – Sana’a does too. Again.
27 Dec – Our combined armies with 7000 Hedjaz forces assault and take Asir.
We have a 100% war score in one year. Good job lads!
I have several options. I can annex them. I can vassalize them and change their religion to Shi’ite. I can just take my province.
The difference between annexing them (41.2 aggressive expansion relations) and just vassalizing and forcing their conversion (15 aggressive expansion relations) is huge.
So I do that and have them break their treaty with Sind and send me some ducats too!
Adal is removed from Yemen’s protectorate status.
Now our border with Yemen is secure. The Hedjaz is an ally and friend, despite their Sunni status.
