Eastern Roman Empire | Ck3-TheFallenEagle | Part 2: The Reconquest of Rome

Welcome to the 2nd part of my Eastern Roman Empire campaign.
The Western Roman Empire has fallen, but in the East the Eastern Roman Empire lives on and is now on its way to reconquer the lost territories.
The main target of this episode is the Eternal City of Rome, and soon a wild war breaks out over the capital.

In this campaign it is possible that you, the audience, can have a direct influence on what happens in the game. If you post a comment with a good suggestion, it is not unlikely that it will be implemented. So you have to manage to convince the others of your idea.

I suggest we secure the rest of Italy, then develop our own provinces even further.

[arishok]

I give my esteemed greetings to the Imperator of the Romans, Basileus of the Greeks, Nobilissimus, Perpetuus and Princeps Konstantinios.


It seems my last suggestion to the esteemed House of Leon and the Senate was dismissed. Truly a shame, but I understand that recapturing the Eternal City took priority. As such, I come today bearing new suggestions to bring forth the same glory that your grandmother bought the empire. First and foremost, we must continue the reconquest of Italia proper! We can not stop until the cities of Ravenna and Medollanum are once again under Roman Rule. To further aid this goal, I propose we vassalise the Illyrians.

Secondly, I believe a period of peace is needed. The empire has been plagued with wars and I fear that the stability of our laws and civics has faltered. I urge you, emperor, to ensure that our Economical and Diplomatic competence do not fall to a state of disrepair. Further more, we should prioritise on building up the holdings that the Emperors' directly own so we can be stronger against rebelling vassals.

Lastly, I propose we wage war on Francia once this moment of peace has ended! Those barbaric fifth slaughtered our roman-kin in Soisson and they deserve retribution!

Yours forever faithfully,

Senator Arishok Palaiologos II.

[marcus]

Hail Basileus! and Dominite of the East. Your Conquests show great promise and I thank you for taking my suggestion and adding the greeks into the roman fold. I suggest finishing the conquest of Italia and attempting to Vassalize the illiyran romans as there Forebear Julius Nepos was the last western roman emperor who showed promise of fighting the barbarians. There are now omens among soothsayers and monks in Constantinople that enemies gather from the south and these great enemies shall rise to Challange Rome. Perhaps it is the people of Kush and Nubia and its the Tanukinids the Arabic tribe that has been our vassals in the its something Whatever the threat is The Proviences of Palastinia and Aegyptica must be placed in the right hands and fortified against outside threats! I know youll do what you think is best and I leave the rest in the Hands of Christ.

[VivaCristoRei]

for the exarchates to last, one must take the islands of the mediterranean from foreign control and develop the lands of rome. to ensure the preservation of state control over the west. consider also retaking ravenna

[memesd]

Hail Augustus! You must retake Italia and Illyria to unite more Romans, and to make the borders prettier.

[Daniel]

1:09 seeing my pfp as a senator head kills me

[freutmichsehrgut]

I think I should start a campaign into Iberia as it would help when you need to counqer Gaul

[ethaniuscash]

Ave Basileus we get our economy back on track and we must also chill out with the conquering for we might be a bit overextended.

[mockingbird]

Hail Basileus! While I do think retaking northern Italia is important for Romes glory. I do think we should prioritize two other things more. One we should have a period of peace and two we should focus on getting a foot hold in southern Hispania.

1. As other senators have said such as Senator Arishok, if Rome is to survive we need a time of peace to rebuild Romes stability and economic situation. And while that may not be as glorious as a huge conquest, but it will be vital in Romes long term survival.

2. As a few other senators have said I think we should gain a foot hold in Hispania. I personally think we should do this after some peace and that foot hold be in southern Hispania. I think it should be there is because it would be useful in the re-taking the entrance to Mare Nostrum.

Sorry if I have been a bit long winded in my speech but I truly think these thing are important for the Roman Empire’s future.

Your Long winded senator,

Mockingus Bierdis the I

[cygmas]

I mean, we can MAYBE get a foothold in Hispania

[seamusfinnegan]

We dont have the money to fight this war, we are likely to lose it BUT BY GOD WILL WE DEFEND THE EMPIRE REGARDLESS!

Imperator! I beg thee! with your young age allow me to fight in your name and defend the Empire from the vandals!

[lachlanphilbey]

Ave Basileus! restitutor Italiae! May the lord smile upon your reign as it has upon your ansestors. While the restoration of the great empire in the west brings great glory and honour upon yourself and Rome, the pace of the conquests and the heretical resistance of the barbarians lording over our rightful subjects has greatly strained our resources, and I fear the fagility in our borders leaves our reclaimed provences vunerable. The great cities we have restored to our rule, Roma and Carthage must be rebuild and restored and be reshown the light of the roman ways of life and the light of God. Truely their prosperity could guide the rest of the empire to renew the wealth and growth that will pull us out of our current struggles! Following this I feel it is only prudent to extend our controlled buffer zones around Roma and Carthage to ensure there is no repeate of the devistating fall and sacking of the cities that reveiled the vunrability that plauged, and overcame, our old western brothers.

I also hear rumors from my fellow senators of some sort of threat in the east, overblown nonsense I'm sure as we have ended the last true nuicence to Rome from that part of the world many years ago. But should any fantastical enemy from arabia or persia suddenly apear then do remember who we are. We are the people of Rome and the rulers of Greece! The blood of Agustus and Alexander Runs through your veins! Their will pushes our armies to the greatest of glories! Stand strong and brave, ride out to crush these supposed pretenders to our power and none shall be able to stand in your way!

[BunnyhopsX]

I suggest conquering Persia and creating a friendly Roman controlled Persian kingdom that would serve as a buffer state. They should of course be converted to one and only true faith.

[konstantynopolyt]

We should consider a possible vassalization of state of illyria

[Daniel]

We cannot continue this war even if it is a humiliation we can always correct this later what is needed is to fix the economy and strengthen it

[Grippy_Gaming]

As the true emperor of Rome I advise you to slow down the invasion and wars of the late empress and fix the economy and develop the new lands of Africa italy and Mesopotamia

[keeganwise]

Hail Basileus after you take back Italian you must take back the Mediterranean side of Hispania for our great nation for a good foot step towards pushing the barbarians out of our lands and restoring our great Roman Empire long may thee reign

[SealChonker]

The Corsican GDP per Capita would be boomin' they bankrupted Rome twice.

[barnousauresrex]

Conquer the lands of north Africa then move on to eastern coast of iberia

[billychops]

U should marry you new young ruler for traits also focus on Italy or the eastern border to defend against the Arabs
