 A great man arrived in Cantabria, province of Castile, but his ability is not so good. so I didn't hire.

GREAT NEWS! 

BURGUNDY, one of the powerful nation in Europe, border on France, joined my millitray ALLIANCE! 

If France declare war upon Castile, France have to fight against two powerful nations at two sides! 

 WWI Germany

God told me new mission. Continue the Reconquista!

Castile got the casus belli on Morocco.

Naples was lost at the war against Sicily since they got weak by bankrupt.

Sicily succeed to reconquest their core province!

Our land technology advanced! our units will fight better and now I can build armory. 

Good choice for proceeding god's mission.

Aragon dishonored their military alliance. They broke alliance with us too!

Aragon is trustless country.

Though I gained casus belli against Portugal, I don't want to war with Iberian nations.

I'll focus on Reconquista against Morocco. 

Our first constable at the Andalrucia was completed.

Direct tax in Andalrucia will be +25%.

We became PAPAL CONTROLLER!! BEST choice for Castile!

Our merchants are trading useful things.

Our naval technology advanced! However, I'll focus on land since England is war upon France and other nation's navy is not threatening for us.

Our great men died.. He did his best to improve Castile's prestige.

Hmm. Since France is still fighting against England and other countries border on me, Iberian nations, are not very strong. I think it is time to strike Morocco.

 At this era, one of the faithful alliance was broken and I tried to search another alliance partner.

Aragon broke their alliance with us! I thought that they disappointed Castile's weakness at the Holy war. 

I decided to seek another alliance partner to stand up to France.

Quality of the armies is more important than quality of them.

I moved slider to "quality" and it brought decrease of national manpower by returning unsuitable recruits to their home.

We got alliance casus belli against Hungary since our alliance Austria is war upon them.

Castile was tired by holy war so didn't joined the war.

At Holy Roman Empire, king of Bohemia was elected as Emperor.  

Burgundy annexed a small nation adjacent to them.

Burgundy is a powerful nation border on France. Can they be our alliance partner?

Our adviser, Ignacio de la Cueva published book, "The spirit of laws". I selected second choice and it will bring 10 prestige and increases investing government tech by 15 until 6 years, which valus is 15x6x12=1080 ducats.  

Austria is also war against Naples but I didn't participated.

Trading salt happen to us and it gives land maintenance  -10%.

It will helps sustain large army with small cost. A chance to enlarge Castile's army.

England is still war upon with France, began at 1399, the start of the scenario.(Hundred Year's War in real history)

I thought they are great partner to fight against France since the mainland of the England is safe for attack of French army protected by strong English navy

England call to arms to Castile and to keep alliance with them, I accepted.

It is the second time to war upon France.

Fortunately, although there was many failure, I was succeed to royal marriage with Austria.

Alliance with Austria will be strengthen. 

Our nation needs monetary reforms.

If I proceed monetary reforms, I got decline of 2 stability, the critical damage.

Hence I selected not to do it so I got 3.00 inflation, also bad choice for us.

I have to invest 3% more of ducats to improve technology, recruit army and naval ships and build some buildings.

While war upon France, Burgundy refused our merchants to their center of trade.

Antwerpen is one of the rich center of trade in Europe like Liguria and Venice.

Our next target was there so it disappointed me a lot.

I thought we can't win war against France since their army is twice as large as us.

I will fight one time and offer white peace to them.

Europa Universalis 3: Divine Wind: Castile chronicle in 1408~1409: Holy War

At 1408, Castile enjoyed their peaceful time like the year of 1406 and 1407.

However, peaceful time didn't lasted long time.

We had some redundant ducats. I invested it sending missionary to Granada.

Their was a war at south Italy. Sicily lost at the war so cede a province to Naples.

Building church at Madrid was completed. 

Though Naples won at the war and gained 25 ducats from their enemy, Naples got bankrupt.

Fools! The war damaged the winner more.   

 Byzantium declared war on Naxos for reconquest their land.

Although Byzantium is heir of the Rome and had glorious history, Byzantium is very weak in this scenario by the invasion of Ottomans. I don't think their got triumph.

Burgundy also declared war upon Bar for same reason. Burgundy is far stronger than Bar.

Bar will be annexed by Burgundy.

Though Byzantium was weak, I was attracted its glorious history.

The Pope called for a Crusade against Morocco!

With a holy war casus belli, we can gain a land with less infamy(25% of no casus belli.)

It's a great chance to expand Castile's territory! 

Our production technology was advanced so I can build marketplace and production efficiency increased little.

I decided declare war upon Morocco, but our military leader has died. It is a bad omen.

 Though I general dead, I thought it is a big chance!
Castile and its alliance Aragon declared war upon Morocco.

Since the casus belli of this war is holy war, the effect of Crusade happen to us.

Though Portugal is not alliance of me, it declared war independently and it conquered a province of enemy.

At Tangiers, Portuguese and Castillian army defeated their public enemy but more casualties than them.

Castilian army defeat enemy at Fez, too.

I think this war will be end in 3 years since Morocco is on the war with more than 3 European countries.
