THIS HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF RECORD!!

The session was good, luckily for you Russia still remains out of the conflicts. Meanwhile, Italy declared war on Spain and basically is now asking to get destroyed. She's lost land in Sicily and Northern Italy, and the capital of Rome is not far behind. French & Spanish troops are closing in.

Here is a map of the current land situation, made by The Capo a.k.a former leader of Italy before things went bad. Thanks Capo. 75 b.c.

Thanks for playing, Dimbleby, looks like we need a replacement for England

The Great German Empire has kept pace with the best of them in city construction while dominating with her wonders The people of Berlin alone have built 5 (6?) wonders with Copernicus and the Colossus only 2 turns apart in this recent episode after building Sun Tzu (also known as, "Dont Mess With Me")

Our alliance with Hungary and Russia would have remained strong, however, an unruly despot known as "ai" took over for Russia recently abolishing said alliance. Our southern friends, the Hungarians, have the greatest expanse of land under their control. But they - and we - are being drawn into a major war against the west because of border disputes between Spain and Italy. Should this war break out, we have every expectation that our massive army of vet crusaders will crush the French under our hooves.

French troops crumble under Germany? I believe that East mis-judges French power. France may not have numberous second rate cities like the Hungarian and German empires but she is by no means weak. Our troops are ready for any action that the East brings and we pride ourselves on our maginot line.

However, we do not want war with the East at all. Italy is a member of no alliance, and under the leadership of Jedi, attempted to take rightfully Spanish land. Under the terms of our alliance we are to always help when the Spanish nation is the target of foreign aggression. If Italy wants peace, France will be the first to the bargaining table, but will not cower to the demands of a weak and pathetic nation such as Italy.

WORLD NEWS
---------------------------------------

TOP STORY: The great age of Imperialism begins in full!

As the great European powers run out of room on the continent they are now turning their attention to foreign lands for their expansionist designs. Already the map is being carved up by those nations with the means to do so. The remnants of the Western alliance, Spain and France have turned to the closest land mass available and are colonizing the dark continent of Africa. Unspeakable atrocities are rumored to occur to the native peoples of this land by the imperialist forces of Spain and France. Subjugations of whole peoples are reported.
Farther north the German and Italian peoples had begun the peaceful settlement of Scandinavia. According to reports given to this newspaper from German sources this cold area of the European continent has been devoid of native people and is offering no resistance. The two Italian cities built in the region known as Sweden have been turned over to the great nation of Hungary in a diplomatic agreement between the two nations.
In addition to receiving this overseas gift the Republic of Hungary has pushed further into its Turkish territory and continues to spread its noble culture to this land.


Italio-Western War rages on

The decades long war between the Italians and the Western alliance continues. So far no progress has been made since the early days of the war when Italy was soundly defeated on multiple fronts. Italian troops have halted the progress of Spanish troops in Northern Italy. When asked for a comment Italian general Giuseppe Garibaldi had this to offer, "The war has turned around for us under the leadership of King Jedi. Our allies have helped us a lot in this endeavor as well, Italian citizens should not fear, their homes are safe from the Spanish aggressors."

Hungro-Italian Alliance remains strong.

The alliance between the two Adriatic superpowers remains strong according to top government officials. Deals have been struck between the two nations that benefit all those involved. Hungarian Foreign Minister Gergy Szedgy commented on the most recent arrangement in Sweden, "The Italians joined in the race for colonies before they were ready as a nation. Their colonies in Sweden were proving to be unprofitable and they were looking for a bidder to take them off their hands. Their attentions were turned toward the war and needed assistance, we were willing to provide what they needed. The deal benefited all parties involved."

DOMESTIC NEWS
------------------------------------

King Stephen I declared a Saint in Debrecen

Today church leaders met to finally approve the long awaited canonization of Hungary's King Stephen the first. After missionaries from Russia started spreading the good word to the Magyar people St. Stephen finished the job and declared Hungary a Christian nation. His crown and is currently on display at J.S. Bach's Cathedral in Debrecen.

King Matthias I gives up his crown and Ulazlo II is elected first Prime Minister

After a brief though dramatic turn of events the kingdom of Hungary is declared a Republic. After centuries of rule by King Matthias and his predecessor St. Stephen I Hungary has turned away from its monarchist roots. In a statement to Times reporters Prime Minister Ulazlo said that, "This is a historic time in the history of Hungary, the people have let their voice be heard and gracious king Matthias has stepped aside to allow a new form of civic government by the people take over. Currently we are erecting a monumental statue in our capitol of Budapest to signify the spirit of freedom and liberty that is washing over the nation."

Population Boom hits Hungary

Following the change in government an unprecedented population boom has struck our nation. It seems that the concept of being a republic serves as an aphrodisiac for many Hungarians as they joyfully romped away their cares at the start of the government change over. Now several months later the nation has swelled in population. Perhaps in a ploy to win over the hearts of its people and get them to love the new republic the government drastically increased all spending on luxury items such as whipped cream, satin sheets, lingerie, and has invested large sums of money in the porno industry. Whatever the reasonings of the government, the population in this country has surged beyond all historical levels and Hungary is now the most populous country in the world.

Massive Public Works Bill passes Parliment

Prime Minister Ulazlo I has begun a great campaign of improving the Hungarian nation on all levels, road building, mining and irrigation for farming has increased at all places within the country. "The massive population explosion necessitates these new projects", said Domestic Advisor Tomas Ivan. Currently a far-sighted project to connect the Hungarian Motherland with its Turkish colonies is under way. Already passing through the straights this highway is beginning to snake through Asia-Minor. New settlements are expected to sprout up following the course of this new road.

EDITORIAL
By Janos Kadar

This sudden explosion in population is difficult not to notice, and the bizzare efforts on the part of the government leads one to question the motives of our new leadership. As the commoner must now trudge through a mass of children as thick and plentiful as a Hungarian wheat field, he begins to wonder what this transformation will do to society. Our current economic boom is being fueled by this massive shift in population as the children are being sent to the fields and to the guilds to build things for the republic. Massive new construction projects like the one going up in Budapest are being built by the tiny hands of our young nation.
One must wonder if this exploitation of our youth for the material gains of their elders really a just thing to do? In fact is the current system of money and oppresion waged against the younger worker classes a just thing? Only time will tell i suppose.

My nation has grown quite strong since the begging of my reign. It seems that troubling times lay ahead for my people. Many descions must be made in the coming months and the wrong ones could lead to the fall of my kingdom. The italians seem intent on conquering spanish land through there many rulers.
It seems they also have a firm alliance with the powerful hungarians. it seems that the itlains could bring the whole continet to war with there squables.

*one of the ladies from mokers herum enters the balcony area*

NAPOLEAN VICTORIOUS IN SICILY

It has been reported that French crusaders have conquered and destroyed the Italian city of Palermo on the island of Sicily. Now that Palermo, the last Italian stronghold outside of main Italy has been eliminated, French troops have their eyes on the Italian mainland and the capital city of Rome, which according to them, will be taken swiftly along with several other major cities on Italian cost. The Spanish military plans on continuing its assault on Northern Italy and finishing off other Italian strongholds in Corisca. The victories are said to have been attributed to superior Western tactics and strong veteran armies.
Now that Italy can see the consequences of attacking France or her allies, maybe she will resist from doing so in the future.

CRUSADERS MARCH ONTO GRENOBLE.

After racking up several victories in Northern Italy, French troops, under the command of General Ronal LeFave II, now plan to march onto the Italian city of Grenoble where they will meet very little resistance along the way and hope to take the city and push Italy back completely into the lower half of the boot.

NEW KING MAY BRING PEACE

Upon the dawn of this last Monday, it was determined that the former King of Italy, Jedi has been forced from power and will be replaced by a still unknown succesor. Since the position that Italy is currently in has been blamed soley on the selfish actions of King Jedi, it is believed that under this new leadership, Italy will make attempt to make peace. However, the French government has stated, that in no situation will lands Italy owned prior to the war, nor lands that she claimed was hers before the war, be returned to her. If Italy wants peace, it will be complete and unconditional surrender, and France and Spain will accept nothing less. We will however, not ask for anything from Italy other than peace, but all lands now won, or won before the war's end shall remain under French control.

The Illustrious Leader of Germany, Berzerker, has led the German people to create a magnificent civilization second to none. But war has appeared upon the horizon - spaniard crusaders continually encroach upon our westernmost cities while a new english leader has decided to make an issue over borders established by his respected predecessor.

While to our south, the spaniards continue attacking our beloved and peaceful Italian friends. This situation must be resolved or the amiable German people will be forced into a conflict in distant lands beyond our domain - foreign wars are rarely beneficial to a productive people wanting only commerce with other peoples.

The pride of the German people, Berlin is the largest, most populous city in Europe boasting no less than 6 world wonders!

WESTERN-ITALIAN WAR RAGES ON

It seemed for a short time that peace was would prevail between the Western alliance and Italy, however Cockney II successor to the thrown had other plans, when he attacked Spanish troops that were stationed outside of the Italian city of Chioggia. Spanish troops were stationed there because Italy had stationed troops outside of Savona in order "defend their empire." Apparently "defending their empire" involves placing strictly aggressive divisions outside of long standing Spanish cities. France had previously made peace with Italy under the terms that half of Sicily would be given to the French, however when her ally was attacked, France was forced back into the long running conflict. So far niether side has been entirely successful in the conflict. French forces did conquer the Italian city of Latina, only to have it liberated and then eventually destroyed by invading French troops. It should be noted that Latina is the closest major city to the Italian capital of Rome. Since this event, Italy has successfully pushed French troops out of Italy but French commanders say this is "Only a temporary setback."
It is also rumored that former Imperator of Italy, Woke XXIII, will be succeeded by the son of Cockney the II, Cockney III, and as with previous ruling members of the family, peace may be just around the corner with Cockney III.

SO CALLED "GUNPOWDER" TO REVOLUTIONIZE FRENCH MILITARY

Recently, the French military has discovered what they call "the most important development since the tempering of the sword." So called "Gunpowder" allows a new weapon, called a Muskett to launch if you will a small iron pellet a great distance and such great speeds that it can penetrate a man's skin and either seriously wound him or even kill him. Although this new technology has already spread to some Eastern nations and has been stolen by the pathetic Italians. It gives the French military a huge advantage over the armies of less intelligent and knowledgable nations. This new weapon allows a soldier to kill a man from a good distance and keep himself out of danger from hand to hand combat. Although the slow reloading process and relative innaccuracy of the weapon does not completely nullify hand to hand combat, it does make a major step in doing so.

ST. AUGUSTINE RULES FRANCE "MOST POWERFUL"

St. Augustine, one of the great thinkers of our time, has studied the governments, military, and people of the major nations of this continent and compiled a list of what he labels the most powerful nations in the world. Suprisingly, even to some French officials, our great nation was ranked the most powerful nation in Europe, and her great ally Spain ranked third. The East labels this as a inaccurate, uneducated, and tainted list, but it should be noted that if this is accurate (and it most likely is), it would mean that the West, and not the East as it had previously been believed holds more economic and military power across Europe.

WESTERN ALLIANCE STRONGER THAN EVER

High ranking officials from both Spain and France strongly agree that the Western alliance, is now stronger than it has ever been. In addition to the full blown tech sharing and map sharing that has made the alliance so strong in the past, a new trade agreement has been made. This agreement allows complete free trade between both nations and nearly combines the two seperate economies into one powerful one. Also, huge land agreements have been made in newly settled Africa that promise to keep Spain and France out of land squabbles in the future. To illustrate this, officials have developed two maps. One showing current land holdings world wide and a second showing land that has been marked for settling by France and Spain in a agreement made in Madrid.

While France and Spain are gighting with Italy, the situation at the english/german border gets critical. Germany and England are arguing about land at the river(Rijn). English people have none/less land left to build new houses for their people, so they won't give up the land easily. The only thing England can do is to use their land more intens and fight for everything what should be theirs.

England made their alliance with the Spanish people better/stronger. They have even invest money in the Madrid stock exchange.

England is now at war with Italy. The evil Italians attacked Spain, without any good reasons. Those actions can not be tollerated and therefor England declared war on Italy.

*erica rides from around the keep in front of king moker, she wheels her horse around in a circle and brings it up on its hind legs*

KM: you are getting very good my lady.

erica: thank you my lord, shall i bring your horse

you will be amazed by this erica, you have mastered the bow but this is a whole new weapon.

erica:weapon? but gold and silver is to soft a metal to hit anything with.

KM:this is what is called a flintlock pistol erica, watch and learn.

*moker loads the .60 caliber pistol*

*POW*

*the straw target that was stuck with arrows gets ripped to shreads*

erica says with excitment: my lord, how does that work? what is that you put in there?!!

KM: there are three parts to making this pistol work. the first is the gunpowder. its made from a combonation of matrials and mixed with water then allowed to dry. the second is the flint, the flint if used to spark the gunpowder causing it to shoot. the third is the bullet, this is an iron ball that is shot from the gun.

erica: can i shoot it my lord?

KM: wait until we get to the stables.
------------------------------------------------------

KM: here you are my dear, did you see how i loaded them?

erica: yes my lord. are these for me?

KM: they sure are

erica: oh thank you my lord, but why four of them?

As the Hungarian Republican government prepares for the unveiling of its newest wonder of the world János Kadar and other leaders of the oppressed masses discuss their plans.

János Kadar- What time is the unveiling scheduled for?

Nicolao Kovács- There will be a ceremony held at 3 pm, where dignitaries will speak all full of capitolist pomp and display until finally they reveal the product of our oppressed people's labor at approximatly 5 pm.

János Kadar- Good, will everyone be ready at that time?

Béla Országh- Yes sir, at the moment the cloak is withdrawn from the statue our Children's League forces who were disguised as the Hungarian Republic's color guard will spring into action. Inside the poles of their flags are hidden swords with which they will use to assassinate the enemies of the masses, and the worst enemy of them all, Prime Minister Ulazlo.

János Kadar- Wonderful, while the bourguesie adults dazzle themselves with the splendors of excessive wealth and priveldge the children workers of our nation who typically were left at home away from this celebration will quietly sneak away and seize the tools of production.

Mihály Hajdú- Yes, water wheels, blacksmitheries, granaries, all will come under our control. All while the capitolist oppressors of our nation's youth have their backs turned. They will come home to empty houses, panic and a new government.

János Kadar- What a wonderful new world we will create! No longer fear of hunger or abuse by capitolist adult masters, our people young and old alike will share in the means of production and will prosper together. Our nation will grow strong and all the Magyar people will be content with our enlightened rule. The poor destitute young masses will no longer go hungry, the Democratic People's Republic of Hungary will bring a golden era to our people!


*Disclaimer* While I (Ozzy) am the leader of a youth movement, and this post is about a communist take over of government by youth please note that these two things are ENTIRELY sepperate, and the youth movement in reality couldn't be any further from this fictionalized story from this Diplo game. Thank you.

Small Italian Village in the South...

Antonio Vincenzo DeNucci puts down his newspaper and looks to the corner of his study at his Musket (Are they around yet?).

"Italia is dying" he thinks to himself...

He picks up his weapon looking at it, he then yells "Bella, don't bother making dinner tonight for me, or any other night for a while, Italia is crying, and she needs me!"

He then leaves the house...

TOP STORY
----------------------

The Hungarian Republic crumbles after short communist revolution

The long anticipated result of years of back breaking labor was set to be completed in Hungary's capitol city of Budapest. Prime Minister Ulazlo and his cabinet all attended the ceremony to reveal what they dubbed the "Statue of Liberty" As the curtain was being dropped from this gigantic structure revolutionary forces attacked and killed the Prime Minister and his government.

With no government left to rule, the Magyar masses (85% of them under the age of 30) quickly declared János Kadar, as First Comrade of the Democratic People's Republic of Hungary. While there was brief skirmishes between Hungarian troops still loyal to Parliment and those loyal to the new communist leadership, these were limited in scale. Over all the transition in government was very quick and complete.

When asked for a comment on the symbolism behind revolting against the democratically elected government at the unveiling of the Statue of Liberty, Mr. Kadar had this to say, "Statue of Liberty? HA! Statue of Misery is more like it, do you have any idea the number of poor Hungarian children forced to work on this massive structure. Do you realize how many lives were carelessly lost due to the bourgesie elitist slave drivers as they drove their children to complete this project? We felt that timing the revolution at the unveiling of this monstrosity was the best oppurtunity to reveal the murderous hipocracy this symbol of "Liberty" truly represented."


DOMESTIC NEWS
-----------------------------

Nation prospers under new government

Reports are coming in from all over the country that seem to show that things are looking up for the average Hungarian comrade. Production is increasing and the new system of shared wealth is benifiting the entire nation equally. New settlements are springing up, and internal construction projects are rapidly improving the countryside. Also it seems that residents are all content with their lives and the government, people of all age groups and locals in the country are reportedly content.

Hungarian Domestic Affairs advisor to Comrade Kadar, Mihály Hajdú, had this to say about the happiness of our people, "Back in the days of the republic many people were indeed very happy, the truth though is that those who thrived most in this period were the bourgesie adults who were deleriously happy thanks to the grotesque sexual practices of the government, but when the results of their phyiscal pleasure emerged they were sent to the fields to work. So there was great happiness and great unhappiness. Now under our government we are all delightfully content, and no one complains."


Nation Backs Valiant Hungarian Explorer

In a surge of patriotism following the glorious revolution the whole Hungarian nation has devoted their efforts to assisting the voyage of Ferenc Magellan. Comrade Magellan has set out to sea, intent on his goal to circumnavigate the Mediterranian. His travels will bring glory to the Hungarian nation, as the entire world marvels at their sea going prowess. When Ferenc returns his crew will share their ocean going experiences with the rest of Hungarian sailors, increasing the sailing abilities of the entire navy.

Second Wave of Magyar Colonists leave Hungarian heartland

After the initial excursion of settlement that brought the Turkish area of Komlo into the Hungarian empire, a mass of people seeking a better life in Hungarian possesions in Turkey have departed. Over crowding in what have become the world's most populous cities have led Hungarian adventurers to leave their homes in Gyor, Decbrecen, and other various Hungarian cities for the Turkish hinterland. Reports furnished by our glorious Hungarian government of the excitement and adventure enjoyed by such daring colonists as the people at Komlo have no doubt drawn several more thousand people to seek out this life as well. This 'wave' could result in as many as half a dozen new settlements in the area known as Asia-Minor. Native peoples of this region are reported to be justly shown the light of Hungarian civilization and are adjusting very well to their European neighbors.


FOREIGN AFFAIRS
--------------------------------

Situation worsens in Italy

The war between the Western Alliance and Italy has heated up in recent years. After a long stand off the Western Alliance has stepped up their efforts and have dealt a few decisive defeats to their Italian sworn enemy. It is reported that the barbarous French forces invaded the city of Latina, just a few short miles from the Italian capitol of Rome. After a bitter struggle it is reported that the vicous French army razed the city to the ground, raping and murdering the populace. Burning buildings and looting as they went, currently there is nothing but rubble to remind us of this once proud Italian city.

When asked for a comment Hungarian military affairs advisor, Béla Országh, had this to say about the situation, "The French dogs came in from the sea, raping the women, killing the men. Destroying buildings and burning the fields. This is truly an attrocity, this city which had stood for thousands of years was burned to the ground by the French army. We are currently taking no official action regarding this situation, but we are making a very strong condemnation of the actions of the Western Alliance and are further analyzing the situation."

German President, Berzerker, offered his view of the war, "We are deeply disturbed by the Spanish aggression against our southern neighbors and anticipate that this war will spread"

Northern Tension Reported

Unrest is brewing elsewhere in the world besides Italy. Reports indicate that tensions are rising between historic foes Germany and England as they contest over their claims to territory of the lowlands. Two English cities now inhabit this region, in close proximity to their French and German neighbors. The situation is further complicated by England's declaration of war on Italy under the terms of their alliance with main combatants Spain and France.

German President, Berzerker, is "deeply saddened that an English dictator has decided to void a contracted treaty agreed to by his predecessor." The treaty that President Berzerker spoke of involed a historic agreement to divide up land in the region, but was tragically brought into question when England began stationing troops within the designated limits of German cities. On the prospect of war President Berzerker said that "We want peace but will defend ourselves till the death of the English empire."

He stumbled through the forest, clutching his wound. Reno DiNapoli was scared, he was actually crying, an Italian soldier crying. He knew that death was to come quiclky, he wished for it, the cold, the darkness, and the pain of his wound were unbearable. How can things have come to this? He thought to himself and he stumbled through the dark forests, he had no idea where he was going.

In the background he heard Spanish words being tossed about, the echo from the trees confused their origins. He continued his treck, where am I going? he thought, I have to stop. He collapsed under a large tree, and sat, breathing heavily, the blood soaking his uniform. His hands were covered in a crimson sheath. Just then two men emerged from the dark misty forest, carrying swords covered in blood.

"alli el es, ahora el muere." said one of the soldiers, as they approached.

"No please! I surrender!" screamed Reno, but it was too late, the sword had already penetrated his gut, he sat for three seconds staring up at his executioner's, they were smiling... he died...

In Rome, emporer Cockney VI ran down the street, a band of soldiers following close by. "C'mon, there is the boat sire, please make haste, they are comming!" Said Giovanni, the royal minister.
"You have been good Gio, I thank you for your support, I am sad that you may die for my honor." Said the king, as he placed his hands on his minister shoulders.
"It was worth it my lord! Go to, DeNucci's men are arriving."

DIE TRAITOR, was the call from the crowd, Cockney got into the small boat, his soldiers quickly pushed away, Cockney was saved...

A Socialist rag put out by the new communist government of Hungary has misquoted our esteemed President Berzerker with regards to our English neighbors, the President said the following:

"We want peace, but will defend ourselve's to the death of the German empire."

He did not say "to the death of the English empire"! We lament the decline in journalistic standards since the Communist' take over, it appears they are more interested in promoting their ideology - which includes demonizing capitalism - than reporting the news

Our fellow Germans have succeeded in establishing cities along the coastal regions of Norway and S Sweden and soon will be settling Finland and the islands of the Baltic. The people of Berlin - the German capitol, marvel of the modern world, the site of no less than 7 wonders, and the world's most populous city - have built a fabulous university to accomodate the great English scientist, Sir Isaac Newton, who recently defected because of his country's naked aggression toward our German brethren living in the Lowlands of Holland and Belgium. Thanks to his help, the German people have discovered the technologies of conscription and cannons to defend ourselve's. These weapons combined with our wonderful War Academy have produced a world class army second to none.

News from the south is not good, our Italian neighbors are at war with both the French and the Spanish. The latter were so arrogant as to ask for the details of our new "Democratic" system of government while pressing their war against our neighbors. President Berzerker has informed the German people he will do what he can to keep us out of the war, but re-assured us that should we go to war, we would not stop until the oppressed people of Paris are freed from the tyrants ruling over them!

The russian bear is waking up slowly!

After a revolution in which the previous president was killed I took over a completely disorientated nation. I started building the needed buildings for my people. Temples, marketplaces, and libraries.

The people saw that the new leader can do the best for their nation and they were willing to work for the benefit of the whole nation. I lowered the taxes and science is making more and more progress. Unfortunately we have to abstain from some luxuries but we know we have to pay a little price for what we want to achieve.

New cities have been founded and the old cities have been improved. Thousands of people feel the new era and are looking for a new chance and join the settler convoys to colonize the wide russian plains.

Unfortunately the French thought they can catch up to our allies level of technology by stealing it. We all had to declare war on them. Our Italian friends are really in trouble and due to our poor status, that will certainly get better every year, we could only help them with some gold. Our Hungarian friends were able to do much more. In a tremendous way they forced the French to give up French Africa and give it to the Spanish King. But that was not all. To avoid further losses to both sides the wise Spanish King decided to give the land to the one who deserves it - the Hungarians!

Now it is my turn to lead the Russian nation to fame, wealth and last but not least power.

Remember! The sun is raising in the east!

MEMO

To: Comrade Kadar

From: Béla Országh

Re: Report from the African Front

Comrade, I have sailed down to the African coast personally to over see our forces there. The Desert Flood operation has been successful. Admiral Magellan and the highly trained Hungarian Socialist Navy escorted our troops quickly and safely across the water. Our first landing was at the French city of Poitiers, it was weakly defended and we were able to rout their troops without difficulty. Their defensive forces were sadly outdated, not even making use of the technology of gunpowder; they attempted to fight us with spears as we gunned them down from horseback. Truly a sorry sight. Unfortunately to prevent us from taking the city whole the residents burned the city to the ground as our forces entered.

Two units from our fleet broke off from the main force to take the city of Bordeaux, unfortunately the French Navy was able to intercept one of our vessels, and we were defeated at sea. Several thousand sailors and troops waiting for the invasion were lost. Those ships that survived the attack were able to out maneuver the remaining French Navy in the area and land outside of their objective. Our troops were able to defeat the French defensive forces at Bordeaux and secure the city. We then cut off the supply lines to the French fleet, and they reportedly starved at sea.

Our main force continued on and captured the French cities of Strasbourg and Toulouse. Again little resistance, some Hungarian losses were reported, but overall it was a painless victory.

Our forces are prepared to continue the assault, Bayonne and Ghent are next in our path.

Comrade, the French will soon be driven out from Africa, tell our people of our victories.

Pax Romana Times
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

150A.D. The Royal family of Luxius took control of the ailing Italian States. The King of the Italian Monarchy was Gregorius Luxius, descendant of Julius Caesar. Having lived for 25years through the hard times of the early 1st millineum, Gregorius knows of the treachory that the French bestow on all, especially his countrymen. He begain a military build-up of Dragoons and Regular Infantry at Grenoble and LaSpier. Wanting to take Rouen(the only French Port on the mediterranean) he stole the technology of Construction, knowing good and well that the French would be displeased. They warned him but he shoved it off knowing his people would be valiant in their fight if it ever came down to war.
The Treacherous and bloodthirsty French then went among their business and stole technology from my ally the Germans. This angered all of my allies, The Hungarians, Germans, and Russians. Around 175AD Gregorius Luxius's Regular Infantry took rouen, but could only hold on to it for 5years. The Italian reinforcements of Crusaders, Horsemen, and Dragoons were being slowed down by the gastly Spanish forcing them to cross the alps. The French took back Rouen, and then bribed my cities of Grenoble and LaSpier.
Knowing that the Hungarians were invading French Africa , the Italian people gained confidence that they could gain ground on their enemies the French.
