Hi
Not had a lot of time this week to play and the game is getting big and slow to progress. Over 50 regions now. Tons of agents and armies running around.
No trouble with Christians. Fighting Spanish but not many of them approach me. Albion gone very quiet. Germans often send armies. French are my allies and were bankrupt until I slipped em a few bob.
The Satanae sally at Thessolonica. Odds 3:10 against.
Despie the sally a lot of this battle took part inside the town. Didnt have enough arrows to kill them all. Took quite a lot of casualties myself but that provides great retraining potential. Many gold exp units running around now.

My three horse archers in a fort in Italy. They have a choice of targets.
Purple - those are Spanish forces. Landed by ship. Enemies.
Dark Blue - Germanic. Enemies.
Light Blue - French. Allies.
Im happy to let the Purple and Dark Blue fight each other.
I will go fight the Germans near Ravenna. The French will sally and we will fight the Germans together. Least they can do..Ive given them €30,000 in the past three turns.
German and French elite cavalry fight it out. My light horse archers keep out of it..they fire into the Germans backs.

A bit later. Just lost a recently captured region. Just cannot keep it under control this far from my capital. Too many regions captured in short order. My leader with his holy relics and influence cannot be everywhere at once to keep order.

Shouldnt be too long now before the Satanic forces are eliminated.
