Here, obviously
Is the western Arabian coast worth keeping? Now that you have converted it to Christianity, it might be beneficial to release it as a vassal. It would take a lot of rebels and long marches off of your hands. It might help your tech costs too.

not sure how tech groups or westernizing work in magna mundi, but i'd be surprised if rome and jerusalem weren't already in the same group

This ain't magna mundi.

Blame 80 years before coring, 45% inflation, Muslim shithole provinces and a long history of narrowmindedness for it.

What are the real benefits of releasing vassals instead of just keeping the territory until it cores? Doesn't at the very least help you keep big armies with the forcelimits and manpower?

Less rebel, less headache. Sometimes releasing is much more better than grabbing everything, especially if the released country becomes your ally
I wish I also have that option in CK2 :(

India sub Jerusalem

Ezdfe.jpg


Some Somalian niggers have caused enough trouble already for Jerusalem. Time to send them to Davy Jones' Locker, courtesy of the brave explorers.

qtupN.jpg


Finally, by the beginning of 1586, as the final step to be taken since the gradual dissolution of the INQUISITION, and shocking many, the Emperor approved a law that removed all laws against heretical Christian denominations. Nevertheless, traitors will still get their due as in TRAITORS! *BLAM*

LPzoY.jpg


Upon exploring South Africa, Classis Exploratoris detected a very valuable region, one that is definitively worth being colonized, far more than anything they found in the New World so far, and the niggers there are very tame and isolationistic, to make things better.

AyJsD.jpg


As the heathens are no longer the majority in the Canaries, a new ambition arises for the Emprah. Fuk the Kwanstain there are richer places to conquer elsewhere.

WuAz6.jpg


Thus, the entire fleet of Jerusalem sets sail for a long trip.

YmGYQ.jpg


In September 1588, after reducing drastically the number of Orthodox heretics through other means than the easier *BLAM*, everything was set to ensure Cyprus would have its culture improved.

GxArF.jpg


Still, the Crusaders are an endangered culture, for there is much to be done yet before they could pull the same over Jerusalem itself and REMOVE KEBAB FROM THE PREMISES.

AB332.jpg


Scandinavia is at war with the decadent Rome, and they seized the only African colonies from the decadent empire. It will be better for Jerusalem that they lose this war, and better as well if it lasts for a long time. Hopefully they won't make the immense mistake of bringing niggers to Malmo or Stockholm.

:M

2r6wd.jpg


It was only in 1590 that at last everything was ready for the conquest of the Indies. Six thousand hussars and six thousand crusaders embarked as everything was being prepared.

uHAA2.jpg


Of all potential targets, none was more attractive than the incredibly wealthy and small Pegu, whose most valuable province of Pegu would pay off immediately from its immense wealth of spices, while the other could just be given for free for a local kingdom as it is worthless.

6nArV.jpg


THE SPICE MUST FLOW!

955SE.jpg


There were like four thousand poorly equipped and unprepared soldiers in Pegu. This will be a cakewalk next to the previous wars Jerusalem faced.

J01d6.jpg


Although many died from overconfidence, as they believed an immediate assault would be successful. Now victory won't take long to happen, and Jerusalem will be the first CULTURALLY European nation(unlike Georgia) to forge a colonial empire over the Indies and acquire access to an immense supply of spices, other than those they already got in Mecca and southern Persia.

P4Wfz.jpg


Then in May 1591, even as the news of this newest conquest were spreading, a great tragedy struck the empire, but the Emprah, being a hardened man, carried on, even if his coldness and lack of emotional engagement over the death of his own son didn't help much with the infamy.

QeeCq.jpg


By the end of the year the conquest was completed.

xvxQK.jpg


DEUS VULT!

rsmk1.jpg


Why fight more, now that they got one of the wealthiest parts of the Indies for themselves?

oKl3Q.jpg


And thus Jerusalem simply signed a peace treaty with the allies of this fallen heathen kingdom.

fSusi.jpg


And sold the other less valuable province to a local kingdom that was not involved in the recent conflict, while luckily a new heir came, securing the Hohenzollern dynasty over Jerusalem. Perhaps they should move further and explore more of India, ignoring the undeveloped wilds of Kwa altogether, for a province like Pegu will actually speed up their technological progress, where colonies won't, and they need it.

Why not steamroll the entire SEA and turn it into Crusaders culture, rather than selling those lands?

Because it's a worthless low base tax and fish producing province. Next target is over Southeast Asia is Makassar, which is not only rich, but also a center of trade and an one-province minor. Jerusalem seriously need to get a higher average income per province, and then a bankrupcy, years of peace and a level 6 master of mint.

The Emprah wants moar updates.

The Emprah will *BLAM* everyone for HERESY! if a page 9 doesn't happen after this update.

===============================

oACUl.jpg


Plus India, plus Nihonia, plus heretica, plus aurum ex Africa

Imperium of Jerusalem Theme: Diem Ex Dei

0mUSU.jpg


Pegu is vastly wealthy, even with a massive lack of local support for the Empire, its income already is substantial, and for Jerusalem, this looks a much better place to expand upon than the New World right now, and thus a new journey of discovery begins to map the entirety of the East Indies and of Asia until the very end of the continent.

Kly9C.jpg


More butthurt towelheads and heretics. The Emperor's reaction to such accusations is as deep as their relevance.

:smug:

jSkow.jpg


Upon exploring the Indies, another primitive but wealthy civilization in need of salvation is found: Makassar. Not only they are heathen, but they have fallen to Heathen HERESY! as well, meaning that Jerusalem is definitively doing them a favor soon.


Pprw9.jpg


In the same island where Makassar lies are several really primitive tribes and more potential wealth of the kind not seen so far in the parts of the New World charted by Jerusalem.

yITvg.jpg


Due to how they currently have no armies, no allies and just one thousand heretical heathens(even worse than plain heathens, of course) besieging without success their city, it is decided that the Conquirator Hussars are more than enough to secure the island as the newest asset of the Imperium over the Indies.

4W9cv.jpg


Another textbook easy victory. Now a long siege will begin.

DEUS VULT!

0WC2w.jpg


Through contact with other civilizations the wealthiest piece of the New World so far is detected. Grao Para could serve well as the first Jerusalem colony over there, but right now all the focus is over the East Indies.

89cpj.jpg



In January 2nd, 1593, the continued expedition of the Classis Exploratoris discovered a chain of vastly populated islands over the Far East, and after some diplomacy, they convinced the locals to allow them to disembark and moor their vessels in Okinawa. Japan thus was discovered by Jerusalem, and from this first contact trade was established between the two civilizations, and firearms were highly coveted items by the Japanese. Unlike most heathens so far who were, with a few exceptions like Makassar, durka durka towelheads, these people had a different heathen faith with a more mystical practices free of warlike dogmas like jihads and of the typical savagery and dumbfuckery of shitslam. Which means converting them would be more difficult of course because shitty religions are easier to destroy.

WTcvU.jpg


Weathered due to the long trip, they decided to start a tour over Japan after the Emperor of Japan and the Shogun authorized their request. More contact is established with this foreign culture and way of life, as with time it comes the realization these islands were not always united, but recently a victorious local equivalent of a feudal lord managed to unite Japan. Obviously, although Japan is quite rich, defying such a populous nation is borderline suicidal and foolish, thus will never be done.

r88pr.jpg


Jerusalem was the first CULTURALLY European country to discover Japan, and that 2nd of January will thus enter History forever. The tour of the Classis Exploratoris is charting most of the Japanese Islands, and once done will proceed further north, to discover the northern end of the Asian continent.

Sv9ls.jpg


In June, finally a major breakthrough in tactics. A critical one that will reduce the gap between them and the heretical forces of Rome and Georgia, while making the conquest of the savage heathens even more trivial than before. While during the initial introduction of muskets pikes were still quite common and even outnumbered the earlier firearm, now firearms are becoming the most common infantry weapons with blades serving only as sidearms.

6wZVf.jpg


While the siege of Makassar and the tour over Japan continued, in a very unexpected way, the wild and heathen niggers of Mali declared a Jihad against the Imperium. How foolish. They will get their due reward soon.

3AT1y.jpg


Because this will be very convenient, because they got something that the Imperium and every civilization always covets, and they will have it taken from them. The sour taste of the depletion of the gold mines in Sus will be gone soon.

QkmBp.jpg


The small contingent in Arguin, after a military access treaty signed with Scandinavia, retreats into the now Scandinavian colony to the north, because the machete rape gangs would soon outnumber them to such a degree they wouldn't manage to win. The Fleet of Jerusalem moves to gather reinforcements with that Scandinavian colony as a rally point.

SZnHW.jpg


The captain feels that the end of the continent is about to be located as the Classis Exploratories navigates through the treacherous cold waters near the Arctic, ever wary of icebergs and of what could be a prisoner of ice unknown by them. They are making good progress, and once done they will then head to southeast Asia to continue charting the unknown.

VkJSQ.jpg


A ten thousand strong army embarked on Classis Hierusalem towards a long journey to put the nigger muslims in their place, because really, the only thing worse than a muslim for the average crusader is a NIGGER MUSLIM, and soon they will meet their fate.

x7z9A.jpg


In 1594, they arrived, and prepared to crush the wild subhumans besieging Trarza while the fleet sailed north to engage their ramshackle logs called a "fleet".

0GpGD.jpg


By the end of January in the same year, finally the "end of Asia" was located, and beyond, only a vast ocean which was believed to eventually reach into the New World like the Atlantic. Eventually, once there was time for such, an attempt to travel all across the world from west to east would be done, and the fact the Earth is not flat but spherical was more than known by the Imperium at this point.

DWalj.jpg


The nigger inferiority was proven over the Battle of the Canaries, and soon their pathetic fleet will meet the same fate of such invaders.

Jllko.jpg


Did you ever see a successful nigger swimmer at the Olympics? Did you ever see a successful nigger pirate or sailor?

I guess not.

[/kodex kool kredit]

zw25u.jpg


DEUS VULT!

c6pvt.jpg


I think the casualty numbers speak for themselves. Afterwards, it was a complete curmbstomp and unchallenged victory for Jerusalem that would humiliate the wild apes.

gSmDC.jpg


And then there would be peace again, if only...

TIMURIDS RETURN TO YOUR PRECIOUS MONGOLIA

e3Bb7.jpg


Assaults are launched immediately. The ramshackle excuses for "fortifications" of the niggers fell quickly, and they continued losing. This had to be finished soon however, because another legion of heathens marched upon the Holy Land, and there were many of them and few ready to defend it.

FGeqT.jpg


And because that was not good enough, some dicks decided to attempt framing the Emperor for an alleged heathen cult within the Court. It all ended with lots of *BLAM*, but the stability of the Imperium was harmed.

wYrab.jpg


In September, finally the long siege of Makassar was over, and the new Jewel in the crown of the Empire would thus happen.

tkywI.jpg


DEUS VULT!

CA8rN.jpg


Nine thousand of the Imperial Guard, surrounded by heathens, boldly charged one of their forces besieging Fars.

xKtBe.jpg


The Canaries are finally recognized as rightfully belonging to Jerusalem. This means of course that now Jerusalem can effectively begin the colonization of the New World as soon as they find it desirable.

HGxB2.jpg


The brave fighters of the Imperial Guard wiped out nine thousand heathens, but now a larger heathen force advanced against them, and thus they were resolute to fight to the end.

XLe3g.jpg


They "lost" the battle, but the enemy suffered devastating casualties, although now all was in vain, for their legions were all around the Imperial Guard, and vastly outnumbered them as they retreated towards a heroic last stand in Fars.

y1vSr.jpg


kingdom-of-heaven-9.jpg


Even in face of their immense horde, and knowing they stood no chances of victory, they fought bravely. Of course, those who didn't got their due fate as cowards and deserters *BLAM*

hCgSl.jpg


:salute:

MEMvR.jpg


More heathens band together against the Empire of Heaven, let them all burn in the eternal fire for they shall all be crushed!

J0vmH.jpg


Eventually, Jerusalem utterly crushed Mali, but they unfortunately couldn't take all of their gold right now because of infamy. Instead they took half of their gold and demanded for them to release another insignificant nigger land just for the sake of weakening them.

F2cbM.jpg


fukc the heathens we are rich we have gold now because of tupac

Thus ten thousand embark to the daunty goal of stopping the advance of a legion of heathens who total number is near or greater than one hundred thousand, and they will win, because:

DEUS VULT!

xxLZo.jpg


It is time to teach the heathens a lesson that will ensure they will never dare again to defy the will of the Imperium. They have done such for too long, their mere existence is an insult to the emperor, and soon their delusional "victory" will become something they will cry about as they wither. These "jihads" make it very clear: there will be no peace for Jerusalem until Islam is eradicated from the entire world! DEATH TO ISLAM!

DEUS VULT!

If it's me I'll send all my troops and storm the castle

But is it a bug? Or maybe it's counted from the time since the Hindu heretics spawned (heck, they can't even get rid of that measly stack?)
