Timbuktu falls without much fuss, the pope calls a crusade against Egypt at Antioch. Time to mount up! Send one army with four generals to Antioch for some fun. A LOT of drama begins when the HRE, France, Milan, Poland, Hungary, England, Denmark, and pretty much all the Catholic kingdoms start fighting. I made a very poor decision here by staying allied with France, who A) is farther from me than Milan or the HRE, and B) is weaker and winds up losing to the HRE and becoming their vassal. Now there are angry masses to the north. War shall come soon. In the meantime, Spain and the Moors can't stop fighting at Cordoba, so once they've whittled each other down to nothing, I march in and take the final two Moorish regions, securing all of the eastern ibera regions. Arguin falls easily, and Milan and the HRE indeed start a war with rising Sicily. Milan has a few big armies marching around, but they're probably weak militia units. We shall see; they're about to invade the island of Corsica to their south. The HRE has a disadvantage with Bologna separated from the rest of its regions. I should be able to capture it in the next few turns.
