Another defeated the tsar of Serbia on the Plain of Blackbirds in the south of the kingdom, although...

Re: Tides of Conquest Late Medieval campaign, turn 4, 1312 CE

How are province points counted? I had intended at the start to award two points for direct ownership, one point for uncontested indirect control/alliances. That allows smaller realms who don't have the resources for direct expansion to score from establishing and maintaining large spheres of influ...

Re: Tides of Conquest Late Medieval campaign, turn 4, 1312 CE

THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE The German knights and levies of the Empire campaigned on many fronts in the years from 1316 to 1320: in Lombardy, battling Aragon and recalcitrant cities; in Poland, supporting claimants to the marches; in the Balkans, against the proxies of Constantinople. When the dust had s...

Re: Tides of Conquest Late Medieval campaign, turn 4, 1312 CE

ARAGON The apparition of the Virgin at the battle of Gerona that rallied the Aragonese and ended the French crusader menace was culmination of several years of success for the kingdom's arms. Its allies fared well against the imperial army in Lombardy, although its own troops had less luck seizing G...

Re: Tides of Conquest Late Medieval campaign, turn 4, 1312 CE

FRANCE For years, the barons of southern France had sounded the alarm about the growth of Iberian power. Taking advantage of unrest in Rome, they obtained a blessing from their local bishops for a crusade into Aragon that the pope, dependent on French power, dared not contradict. Against the fierce ...

The chivalry of Iberia led by the regent Estevan, uncle of the infant king Alfonso, came ashore in Saint-Malo, held by their ally the Duke of No...

Re: Tides of Conquest Late Medieval campaign, turn 4, 1312 CE

And the battle results are in. Here is the final map, in the Year of Our Lord 1320 (720 after the Hijra)... As you can see, sometimes wars are fought over the same frontiers for a generation, but sometimes, if the numbers are right, sometimes there can be dramatic results. I'll write up what happene...

Re: Kush and Nubians

I don't have a Medieval Ethiopian list to work from, nor research materials to make one. What is the minimum amount of evidence that you consider to be necessary to put together a list for Zagwe and the Solomonids? I assumed that many of the lists involved a fair amount of speculation. Wikipedia li...

Re: Tides of Conquest Late Medieval campaign, turn 4, 1312 CE

Sorry about that! I thought for some reason that Aragon had already won. Should be just a couple turns before we break.

Re: Kush and Nubians

This is really welcome news. Hopefully not asking for too much, but if Ethiopia and western African states like Ghana and Mali could also be added alongside Nubia, they would make great historical adversaries for pre-Islamic Arabian kingdoms, Sassanids, Muslim Berber dynasties, Mamluks and others.

Re: Tides of Conquest Late Medieval campaign, turn 4, 1312 CE

Poles defeat Germans in Brandenburg, 42 to 5. The imperial-allied defenders took up a solid defensive position in the gap between two forests, armored infantry backed up by local knights and some elite warriors of the Teutonic Order. The Poles' Cuman and Lithuanian mercenary horse archers harassed t...
