one flayed pope plz, well salted
-3 stability hit isn't something you can afford while the sandnigger traitors of Morocco keep betraying Jerusalem and rising no matter how many are put down, and in this game Protestantism has been pretty weak, for now. To be honest, actually nonexistent so far, so I wonder if it's a bug or just coincidence of the movement seemingly having starting over Iceland and endling like a Prisoner of Ice. Nevertheless, once turbanhead traitors are put down enough and stability is at an excellent shape, I'll consider it.
Also this will be the last update in this page.
=============================
Imperium Ascendentis
Children of Dune - the Jihad
The traitors never give up. Their insolence seems infinite.
Alexandria is the only city where Jerusalem trades, but still, the merchants have been loyal to the Kingdom, far more loyal than certain traitors without honor and without God.
Hopefully this excellent bishop will help decreasing the number of durka durkas willing to suicidally rebel. This has grown into a serious nuisance.
To further salt the wound, now Mecca became the second city where the Crusader culture became dominant. Through careful diplomacy the Timurids have been kept at bay, and fortunately there are signs their empire is on the verge of collapse.
At this point the Jerusalem crusaders killed ten times more hurrka durrkas than standing armies. Seriously, how can a city with less than 5 thousand inhabitants spawn so many traitors? There is only one logical explanation: Satan is bringing their damned souls back from Hell, raising their rotting corpses and making them fight against God.
Traitors, heathens and heretics and more traitors. The fight against the traitors may not be as difficult, but it is far more exhausting for sure.
By the end of 1528, a new king is crowned as he father dies. Long Live Amalric III!
DEATH TO TRAITORS MAY THEY ALL BURN IN HELL!
Good thing Hell is limitless or it would soon get full and the damned would then walk upon Earth.
This is what Jerusalem earned as thanks for their victories against heathens. The only reason they haven't yet broken with the Church is because this would allow all the traitor scum to find more recruits.
Of course, to help with such a drastic measure, winning a very important DISCUSS! is obviously of critical importance.
You criticize Jerusalem, take Jerusalem's gold and now want to drag Jerusalem in a futile war? Oh well, it's not like any of the involved countries can do much against Jerusalem.
Seriously? Was the Papal State involved in this for the sake of croatioa? fukc the croatioa we have gold now because of
tupac sus.
Traitors spewing bullshit traitors traitors
TRAITORS!!! TRAITORS!!!
TRAITORS EVERYWHERE!
Eventually the debate was won by (king)Conrad. Was any other result expected?
Amalric great diplomatic skills continue to improve and make Jerusalem look better.
The Kingdom of Jerusalem had a perfect opportunity to grow stronger thanks to the Reformation, and they didn't miss it, even if it mean more traitors to kill.
Jerusalem has an army that is quite outdated compared to their neighbors, but slowly they are catching up.
Another goatfucker priest gets a light sentence from the Church. News at 11.
Probably more rebels rose than the entire population of Jerusalem at this point. Must be Satan raising corpses or something like that.
In the year of the Lord of 1536, besides the colony of Morocco, the entirety of mainland Jerusalem now has a majority of Christians.
DEUS VULT!
With this, the last reason to maintain the Inquisition active has waned, and with much less heathens than before, they started picking up on recent converts, which didn't help at all with the popularity of JErusalem, giving more recruits for the traitors. While the Inquisition is also part of the reason why Jerusalem may face enemies with firearms while they are still stuck to bows, pikes and blades.
Did the Papal State ever shown any gratitude for Jerusalem in more than one hundred years? No. Therefore, why should Jerusalem risk themselves in a war against the Eastern Rome?
Another group that would probably mean trouble for long term plans is now extinct. The Knights Hospitaller have served Jerusalem admirably, but their independent leadership has proved itself strategically inept more than once, and thus they will be better serving Jerusalem directly.
The Roman Empire is crushing the Papal State, and other vultures circled over their small empire in Africa. The Egyptians were among these vultures, and why should Jerusalem help them? They got claims on Cairo and if they grow too strong, in a bitter memory of what happened before, they could easily prove themselves as disloyal as the mongols, forsake Jerusalem and wage war for Cairo against their former allies. Southern Italy was already about to be taken by Rome, which now dreamed to make justice to their name by crushing the Pope and retaking the city of Rome itself.
Later, the Timurids have lost a lot. Patriots claimed their lands back to Rome and Armenia, and other patriots continued undefeated over the man-crushing deserts of Jabal Shammar. The Timurids, like before, were again collapsing. There couldn't be better news for Jerusalem, precariously busy with endless waves of Moroccan traitors to fight a war right now.
Egypt however didn't take the refusal of Jerusalem to help their ambitious lightly.
And by 1540, they began to show signs they were willing to cut off years of positive relations in one rapid act of dishonor. Now no longer the heathens, but the Orthodox, were becoming the greatest threat to Jerusalem.
The Orthodox Roman Empire denounced the Holy Roman Empire as a falsity as they marched victoriously over Southern Italy, and the worst consequence of the defeat of the Pope was not over Italy, but over Africa, where unlike Jerusalem, they were failing to keep the traitors, heathens and other rebels under control. This could dangerously lead to the remaking of Algiers as a significant threat.
Also notice their land technology and then compared it with Jerusalem's.
However, there was one event that would once again require the best of the kingdom.
The Copts have shown their true colors! No mercy for these traitors without honor! Were they hoping to drag out Jerusalem in a war only for this? They will pay for it! No niggers and Armenians will help them.
Along the news of the war, Jerusalemite sailors from the Canaries reported that the once unsettled island of Madeira was being colonized by the Roman Empire. The purpose of such colonization was obvious and now rumors began to gain stronger foundations. Although the heathens and the limeys tried to keep it hush-hush, there was wild gossip on how both the Iberian Caliphate and Great Britain established colonies over the north and center of such vast lands to the west, and now the Eastern Roman Empire colonized Madeira, which is obviously for the purpose of using it as a base for the colonization of this still legendary New World. For many these were clear evidences there is a New World, one Jerusalem may eventually reach, if they ever manage to improve their economy and become advanced enough in their naval technology for such.
Although currently Jerusalem is fighting to defend the Levant, eventually, eventually, it is the New World that will define who will truly triumph over Europe and the Middle East.
Unfortunately Jerusalem was powerful, but had one major disadvantage in this war.
Being seriously backwards. Nevertheless, throughly superior courage and leadership, they shall prevail.
DEUS VULT!
Cairo didn't take long to fall as the Egyptian forces launched a ruthless assault and arrogantly, despite weathered by this assault, they already marched onto Damientia, confident their superior technology would grant them victory. The crusaders fought bravely and demonstrated to these arrogant men that it takes more than better weapons to win a battle.
And while Jerusalem armies were technologically backwards, they had, like
Russians Lithuanian Hitmen, massive reserves, leading to a decisive victory as they now advanced to rout the near entirety of the Egyptian forces and begin sieges against all the cities of these miaphysite heretics and traitors.
DEUS VULT!
And afterwards, a combination of diplomacy with the other foes and crushing sieges against Egypt has begun.
The niggers could be easily crushed, but their lands were poor, and attrition would kill so many in a march towards them it wouldn't really be worth. Armenia, upon seeing how mighty Jerusalem was, accepted a White Peace, and soon Egypt was alone. Meanwhile, even during the war, a drastic decision would be taken.
The backwardedness of Jerusalem was unacceptable, and the Inquisition was partly to blame. It was time to begin taking steps to utterly dissolve them now that their primary goal has been achieved.
Jerusalem could snatch some land, but because they couldn't take Alexandria itself, it would be a waste of infamy. Instead, they had other plans on how to handle such a vile act of treason and ungratefulness shown by Egypt, simply because the only reason the towelheads didn't wipe their kingdom off the map was because of Jerusalem, and their owe their very existence to Jerusalem.
No. They shall pay the price for their treason!
In February of 1542, a very saddening report: the Gold Mines of Sus ran out. Considering the hotspot of traitors and rebels mainland Morocco was, besides being mostly dirt poor, many suggested selling all of it to Guyenne, but they were oblivious to how, for now, they needed these lands. Once Jerusalem sets sails to the New World, then perhaps it will be wise to sell such hovels, but right now, it isn't.
After their entire army was annihilated, there was nothing left for Egypt but defeat after defeat. They have been crushed and humbled for their lack of honor, and now they will pay a high price for what they have done against Jerusalem.
Bringing much prestige to Jerusalem, they have been forced to dismiss all their claims over Jerusalem and to forsake the miaphysite HERESY!
DEUS VULT!
The traitors may be vast and numberful, the rebel durka durkas may try again and again, but they will never win. Jerusalem is Triumphant, and during the mid of this new century, a new era was beginning for the kingdom.
Unfortunately TRAITORS caused the delay of this new age, but it would still happen soon, a proclamation of a new Jerusalem.
Through the efforts of the excellent theologian of Jerusalem, Baldwin Hagedorn, the instability issues would be solved, and thus, everything was set at last, for this coming new age:
LONG LIVE THE IMPERIUM OF JERUSALEM!
THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!
DEUS VULT!
