Chapter 3 - Consolidations of Cocoa
3 July, 1453 – I fabricate a claim on the capital of Zapotec.
I found my next war target. Two of my rivals allied and they have a big lattice of helpfulness. However, Cocomes and us divide the three holdings of Belize, so I send over some folks to set up spy network there. I will also get permission to leave forces in with my ally, and then send over an army to hit them from their angle, so I can gobble up their land.
23 Feb, 1454 – We get a fun event that we use to gain some cash.
28 Mar – Cocomes refuses a trade event for feathers, and our relations drop by 50
1 June – I fabricate a claim on Belize.
1 Nov – I fabricate a claim on Zapotec and a minor near me.
1 Sept – 1456 – I fabricate a claim on Moran in Belize, and move some things around.
I’m ready to declare war on their capital of Belize.
War Sides:
Us, Cocomes, one ally to the left
Vs
Chactemal, Can Pech
Good math!
I split off 1k to take Moron and the rest to hit Chactemal’s capital at Belize.
20 Sept – They fled with their main army and march it around us to hit our capital.
4 Oct – I capture Moron. I order this army past Belize to Uaymil, their other holding
22 Oct – Joining forces with their other ally, they march to remove us from Belize.
8 Nov – Battle begins, and our local ally has their army here.
27 Nov – Despite down two thousand troops, we defeat their army in Belize.
13 Dec – Zapotec declares war against Tzotzil. If I had waited, I might have been ready to hit Zapotec while occupied.
16 Jan, 1466 – They retake Moron.
23 Jan – Our ally arrives to help out, and hits them in Moron
3 Feb – They rout the Chactemal army in Moron
11 Feb – My 1k army takes Uaymil. I send it back to Belize
4 March – Moron is again ours.
22 Mar – Belize falls!
We push on to Can Pech, where I have a claim on Champutun from my spy network.
4 Apr – We have siege on their capital of Campeche.
5 May – Our ally brings in Champutun, and then joins the two forces we have in their capital already.
5 Nov – Their capital falls!
I don’t have enough warscore for their final holding, Campeche, or for Moron, so I grab some cash instead. We get three holdings and force Chactemal to become our vassal.
I pay the 78 ADM power needed to start cores:
All are Mayan faith and Yucatec Culture
Belize – Sugar, port, Jungle, 9 dev, 0.27 made monthly here. It’s next to Moran, the final holding of our new vassal.
Uaymil – Jungle, Cocoa made here too, 0.07 made here, 7 dev, surrounded by Cocomes and north of Belize.
Champutun – Grasslands, coastal, 7 dev, Cocoa is farmed here too as the primary export. 0.07 made here. North of us in Peten, and divides Cocomes and Yokotan, both our allies.
