Crusader Kings 2 Holy War
That means that you will have the power of your liege for defensive wars, and can declare war on people much weaker than you, ie rebellious counts and weaker dukes. You should start out only going to war with people who you outnumber by 50 percent, minimum, since you have to deal with seiging and defended bonuses.
Last post, we were introduced to Vahram and his realm, and began to sort out our familial and internal affairs just before declaring war on Tripoli, Vahram skillfully branding it as a ‘Holy War’ to disguise his naked aggression against the Sheikh of Tripoli. Now, we rejoin Vahram, as he leads his first war since the battle of Manzikert.The Byzantine-esque soldiers of Antioch march towards the ancient city, ready to crush the infidel scum that hold Tripoli. At least that is the common soldiers perception of the situation. In reality, it is just a power play by Duke Vahram, who cares not for religion. While leading his troops, he receives a letter from Princess Adelhaids father, who allows Vahram and Adelhaid to marry. Soon enough, they are married outside the walls of Antioch, Vahram collecting a Royal Aid Duty, and Adelhaid coverts to Miaphysite Christianity, accompanying her husband on the campaign trail.While waiting for the rest of his army to arrive, Vahram receives a letter from a monk in a nearby monastery, who offers to become his Physician. While he seems skilled, he is a tad insane.
He honestly believes himself to be possessed by Satan, and he believes the only way to rid him of the curse is to practice extreme zealotry. Vahram ignores the risks, and recruits him anyway. Vahram is then faced with a quandry. A soldier was talking about an idea for better fortifications and defenses for the camp, and while the soldier thought he was impressing Vahram with his ideas, Vahram knew that it was all a bunch of hogwash, but he didn’t want to insult the soldier. In the end, he told him why his ideas were ill-advised, and felt a weight lift off his shoulders, resolving to be more honest.Just before his army arrives in Antioch, he receives worrying reports regarding his marshal, Hagop.

He has been using the Antiochan levies to extort money from the peasantry for his own coffers, but while Vahram would like to make an example out of him, it would have to wait until after the war.But finally, after weeks of waiting, his army arrives in Antioch, and his forces advance towards Tortosa to engage the Tripolian troops besieging the fort there. When his army, 4 times the size of the enemy forces arrives, the flanks of the Tripolian army melt away almost immediatley, leaving only the center flank left. But soon it too retreats, and Antioch pursues it back to Tripoli. After the battle, the Sheik is captured, and the Sheik, held in the heaviest of cast iron chains, signs the peace treaty under sword point, before being thrown across the new border, to Fatimid Egypt.Spurred on by this easy victory, he declares war on Beirut, expecting another easy victory, when a Seljuk vassal sent a raiding party of over a thousand men to loot and pillage Christian lands.

Now Antioch was facing over 2,000 enemy soldiers. However, even so, Antioch still has over 4,000 men, which will easily dispatch the infidels. In addition, Adelhaid, continues to perform her marital duties on the trail, as after the battle, it seems she has become pregnant, and is expecting child. While Vahram already has two sons, more would not go amiss, as marriage alliances would be a useful acquisition, whether they be daughters or sons.While beseiging the fort of Beirut, Abulgharib turns 12, and he decides to continue into more advanced study into administration and bookkeeping, brooding, conscientious, sharp, and curious.Soon enough, the fort surrenders, and Vahram moves to take out the remnants of the remnants of Beirut’s forces, before returning to take a large trading city.
It surrenders soon, and the Sheikh surrenders while holed up in a local mosque, and Beirut is taken by Antioch. Soon after, Adelhaid births a daughter, named Lousin. Seemingly, every fertility related event for the Vajranunis happens after military victories. Strange indeed.
