Coronae et Cruces: Furia Fidelis (Map Game)

The Year is 1100, The First Crusade has just finished with the establishment of the Crusader Kingdoms of Jerusalem and Antoich, While the Roman Empire has successfully reconquered large amounts of Anatolia. However the Catholic Powers are in for the greatest fight known to man yet as the Islamic Empire Prepare to retake the lands taking from them. The Germans, Scandinavians, and Catholic Slavs are beginning to look towards the Baltics and Finland with the intention of claiming the lands for Christianity and for themselves. The Catholic Kingdoms in Iberia look with rage at the Islamic Empire to their south and prepare for the next phase of the Long and Bloody Reconquista. It is a time of religious fanaticism and bloody conquest in the name of one's Faith, and for one's own glory as these wars will be remembered for all eternity.

Around the world a new era is beginning as The Nomads north of China are becoming restless, and the Islamic Empires look East just as much they look west. Across the Atlantic centralized states are beginning to form in the Andes and in Meso America. The Chinese, Japanese, and South East Asians are in a cultural golden Era.

How will you lead your country into the future? Will you be remembered or lost in the seas of blood?

 * Kingdom of Croatia: The nobles of Croatia, during a meeting about who they should choose as their king are interrupted by a relatively young man, who says he is a descendant of Gojslav of the Trpimirović dynasty and Domagoj of the Domagojević dynasty. He suggests himself as the new king, and is quickly supported by most of the nobility in order to stabilize the Kingdom quickly. The new king's name is Petar Krešimir V, and he promises to restore the once great Kingdom of Croatia. In order for his rule to be accepted, an envoy is sent to the papal states in order for the new king to gain formal recognition from the Pope (mod response).

He orders the adoption of the Latin alphabet, enabling him to form a rudimentary bureaucracy and organize a basic standing army from previously existent irregular tribal militias. He also brings the irregular Estonian vihing raiders under direct control, offerign them troops and money in order to shift their raids south and east aginst the Kievans and Novgorodians. Great quantities of furs and amber are taken. Meanwhile, he requests to bring three of the largest south Finnish tribes into the confederation. (Mod Response Needed).
 * you cant do this so quickly to do what your hoping will take atleast 30 years. also the finnish will not unite with you. With Blood and Iron (talk) 20:33, May 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Kingdom of Hungary: Konyves Kalman becomes the youngest king of the country at 21 years of age. The reason he becomes king is, because his parents are to old to rule the nation. We increase the military by adding mre men. Our country expand west into the Vlach and Uzes tribes taking them over. Konyves recognizes Petar Kresimar as king of Croatia. We ask Croatia for an alliance. We send 5,000 troops to the Holy Land to fight the Muslims and take control of an area in the territory. We also set up a base in the Holy Land for our troops can rest and practice before fighting. The most important industries of our nation are farming and blacksmithing.
 * Seljuq Empire: Goal trickles in to the mighty coffers of the great and powerful Seljuq Empire. Many happenings in the Great Seljuq Empire occur this year. The most important is the taking over of Ahlat by Slave Commander Sökmen. The state of Shah Armen is created as a vassal of the Great Seljuq Empire. In the meantime, refugees flock to Baghdad from Jerusalem. The Seljuq Dynasty expands its influence over Damascus.
 * Shah Armen: Sökmen establishes an economy for Shah Armen.
 * Aleppo: The economy is expanded
 * Seljuqs of Rum: The temporary alliance with the Danishmends proves to be a fruitful one as the economy increases following the Battle of Melitene.
 * Kingdom of Norway: The Kingdom of Norway boasting a population of 500,000 sees the end of the viking age near, and begins to recruit many of these experienced soldiers and fighters as his own personal guard, giving the most distinguished ones landed titles personally held by the king. Magnus III takes an unexpected turn in policy and realizes that his kingdom not only requires more people, but requires more territory in general domestically. This leads to Magnus taking his own personal troops and staging a few raids into Sweden to aggravate the smaller and less developed kingdom . The Kingdom itself shows a notable population growth as the Farming methods are improved a bit. Magnus himself also leads a series of raids along the welsh coast to garner more prestige for himself. The Norwegians also begin multiple raiding incursions against the Saami people to the north. The Infrastructure of the kingdom is improved as best as possible.
 * Iceland: With a small population in the high thousands low 10,000's the Icelandic peoples continue to live under the Kingdom of norway and allow ships to come and go as they please. The Icelandic people increase military, economy, and Infrastructure to protect their interests.
 * The Fatamid Caliphate begins to address the problem of the Nile's irrigation, after a drought kills many crops. Though still a trade-based nation, it is recognized that this state of disrepair cannot continue to be tolerated. Three thousand workers are borught in, digging new canals, building new roads, and generally improving Egypt's infrastructure. This, of course, soon spreads to the other parts of the Calipahte. The population, at several million, begins to grow. Meanwhile, after a heavy argument, it is agreed to lighten the persecution of Muslims within the Caliphate, to allow both Ismailism and Islam to be practiced. We continue our trade with neighboring nations, and request a military pact with the Seljuqs. All vassals expand their economies.
 * Great Seljuq Empire: We accept the military pact.
 * Este: Veste, ruler of the island of Saaremaa, begins the long process of uniting the disparate Estonian tribes. He starts by adopting the Latin alphabet and organizaing a basic bureaucracy over his tribe. Meanwhile, raids are directed against Sweden and Novgorod by Estonian Vikings, enabling them to seize large quantities of silver, amber and furs. Ships are sent to investigate the Varangian trade routes to the south, previously used by the Vikings, although establishing trade will be difficult as the Kievan Rus block the way.  He also begins training the tribal militias to better standards and creating a modern light cavalry. xMeanwhile, he requests to confederate with Hiumaa to the north. (Mod Response Needed)
 * ​The Hiumaa state they wil consider the proposition if Veste can prove himself a capable leader and if his tribe is willing to share power. (successfully do something in your state or gain enough military power to force them to join you .) mod response
 * Ghaznivid Sultanate:  Mas’ud III,  begins the process of influencing Sindh,  sending advisors, economic pact requests and a military alliance request. (Mod Response Please) Mas’ud III sees the relative stability of the times to increase the infrastructure of his nation. A large road system is planned and the first segments are constructed. Unfortunately disaster strikes, as the Sultan and his family are travelling, to review the progress on a bridge, their boat sinks, and young Arslan-Shah falls into the river. Fortunately a second barge arrives very quickly and rescues the Sultan and his family, however Arslan-Shah drowns. The death of his son devastates Mas’ud, however he is thankful that his other sons are still alive and that his wife was able to escape.
 * Despite ambiguousness after the Battle of Melitene by Alexios Kommenos, the Roman Empire eventually declares the Battle to be a tragedy, and the rescue of Bohemond important for the "survival of Christendom". The Donation of Constantinople is proved to be a fake by the government, and emissaries are sent to Rome in order to try and fix the pesky mutual-excommunication issue grow. The military is expanded in the east, because of growing threats from the Muslims.
 * Duchy of Saxony: With Magnus growing in age his reign enters it's fourth decade. He continues to keep the various regions of the Duchy in check as his military remains stoutly loyal and all of the nobles in Saxony share a common distrust towards the Imperial Crown and towards the archbishop of Bremen. Trade in the baltics are increased as Magnus sees the need to increase German activity in northern and eastern europe. Military expansion begins. Magnus offers a formal apology to the Emperor and requests that the two sides start mending relations, despite this gesture Magnus greatly distrusts the Salian Family. Magnus deligates his son in law Otto von Ballenstedt as the admistrator of the Northern March. Reforms to start solidifying the nobility and the feudal system begin. Magnus also commissions a series of fortifications to be built along the Eastern Frontier of Saxony and its vassals. troops are sent to help hold down and convert the slavics within the Marches. Settlers from cities and the country side in Saxony move into the Marches to the east. Magnus promises aid to Jerusalem and Antioch in the form of troops led by Count Lothair of Supplinburg to help hold down the kingdom. Magnus reaffirms his alliance with Magnus of Norway (Magnus of saxony is the son of norweigen royalty). Saxony begins improving relations with Bohemia. Efforts to improve relations with the other duchies of the Holy Roman Empire are also carried out.
 * Northern March: Recently appointed Otto of Ballenstedt begins adminstrating his new charge promoting the conversion of the slavic population. German settlers from Saxony move into the march and are accomodated by the administration. Otto and his wife Eililka (the daughter of Magnus) have their first child son Albert. The troops sent by Magnus are kept in heavily populated slavic areas and catholic missionaries work to spread the word of the catholic faith.
 * Messian march: German settlers from Saxony move into the march and are accomodated by the administration.The troops sent by Magnus are kept in heavily populated slavic areas and catholic missionaries work to spread the word of the catholic faith.
 * Lusatian March: German settlers from Saxony move into the march and are accomodated by the administration.The troops sent by Magnus are kept in heavily populated slavic areas and catholic missionaries work to spread the word of the catholic faith.
 * Jerusalem: The coronation of the king is a cause for celebration amongst the Catholics in the realm, and Baldwin sets out to create a firm kingdom that Catholics can be proud of. Any damages to the capital are repaired and knights and levies are sent out to man the numerous forts or outposts that dot the nation. Acre is opened up as a trade port to other Christian powers to help the nation's economy. As much as they disagree, Baldwin sends an alliance request to the Roman Empire, recognizing it as the strongest regional Christain power. 
 * The Almoravid Sultanate, under Yusuf ibn Tashafin, engages in large-scale military engagements with the
