Married off my first daughter to the heir of the duchy of the Alamo. If the kingdom between us doesn't claim that independent duchy belongs to them, a Mexican (descendant) will rule over the Alamo. As for the other daughter, she's betrothed to the eldest bastard of this guy with only bastards, all acknowledged. So long as succession doesn't change, that should get us an alliance on the other side of the nearby heathens we can holy war. Just need to wait until he inherits...
Whoo! Finally got the trouble county converted. I was worried with how silent its been.
The last sieges required to wrap up control of the coast to the kingdom of Yukatan go perfectly. Superior Mexican Strategy causes us to have no casualties in the fighting.
Finally, the war's ended and I can start preparations to launch a Holy War for my own-
...or they could launch their own.
Huh. People of that religion stick together. And their armies outnumber glorious Mexico.
Until these guys show up for free...
And I buy out these cheap guys. Now we are in our rightful place, ready to kick the asses of these pretender states and show who's the
real Mexico around here!
Neat. I don't have to give away that new province now.
The army has assembled! And that number of troops makes me want to go to a church.
Good thing this marriage is ready to be made!
Even at full mobilization and bringing in mercenaries and a holy order, we are barely losing any money. I'll see if we can suffer just enough losses so we are making money again.
That's a much better number of troops.
The battle begins! Fight with invincible old world strategies!
While I don't know much about military, I'm starting to get good at getting my troops to not move.
Yeah, we had some bad losses there, but we broke the center! That counts right?
Okay, we may not want to do that next time. Their losses were less than twice ours!
At least we scared them enough to make them run in opposite directions while we siege the capital.
And hey, we're making money again!
A lot of it, at that!
That took a long time almost was late for-
Ambushing our foe before they meet up! Supreme Mexican Strategy, give us this day!
Almost finished them off before the other guys came by.
Still won, though. But we obviously failed in implementing Old World Strategy. That's too close a margin of killing for it to have been the proper strategy. I'll need to have my generals study the books again, I think.
We did manage to capture the leader of this farce and some unimportant dude I can't ransom away.
He signed the treaty! Considering we had him pay us over 200 ducats of gold, I'm kinda surprised. Maybe we'll ask for more next time.
You fool! We just got a lot of money, we don't need more right now!
In fact, the keep needs some renovating. I'll pay someone to build a Keep in Mexico, Mexico, Mexico.
Sadly, I have to send away the troops I bought. They were starting to ask for a lot money and I wanted money more than troops. This will in now way come back to bite me.
I recently read that the Old World used armies they had up all the time. I'll pay some soldiers to do that for me. I don't know why they had the uniforms at events being dresses, but we need to copy them. It obviously worked for them before the calamity, so we obviously have to copy what they did.
I wonder if I can fool the Church...I'll consult an old world book to help with this ruse! They should ha
Hope I don't screw this up!
I didn't screw this up!
Obviously, we must make a really, really big one. It will help with the vision's credibility, of course. That's what I read at least.
May have to get my vassals to fork over some cash for it, though.
News filters in that the reigning Pope, Praised-Be, has declared a crusade from beneath the Great Arch of the Papacy of St. Louis. We weren't invited though. Wouldn't have joined anyway. Old Mexico never declared any Crusades, so it is obviously beneath us.
I got into an arguement with someone. They said I had too much pride and was sinful because of it. I ordered them to be put in the stocks. It is obviously treason to not be proud to be a part of the Stupendous Nation of Mexico.
Only about 500 ducats. I need yet more money.
Got some ducats from the Lords. In addition to my own, we have roughly 300 ducats saved up. We'll...what's that? They found something when surveying a site? We must check it out!
Do it carefully. This is glorious Old World stuff. Everything inside is worth far more than your life!
MakeitworkMakeitworkMakeitworkMakeitworkMakeitworkMakeitworkMakeitworkMakeitworkMakeitworkMakeitwork-
GLORIOUS!
Some guy's talking about some land I own? Sell it to him. Oh look at me explode that thing with my boomstick!
Fine, I'll get back to business. We still need money for the Cathedral, after all.
Whelp, let's see if he'll let me ransom her. Besides being my mother, she's the only competent spymaster in the kingdom.
Whelp. This sucks.
Just ask the lords this time. I'll take out a loan as well for it. The bankers should listen to the glorious nation of Mexico.
I knew they had common sense.
Begin construction! Hmm...I wonder if I should start a Holy War to pick up some territ- I mean, bring glory to God. Yes, that.
