The new adviser came to King Apolyton V and he said:
'If I were Your Majesty I would certainly not give my kingdom for a horse, ...since that kingdom is so beautiful.
From Kiev in the east to Sodaq Haven (what a nice name, Marquis!) in the west, from Ikea in the north to Sofia in the south, it gives any tourist the opportunity to have a look at superb merchant vessels and lots of pretty girls.
But, if you really wish to conquer the holy city of Jerusalem, you NEED AN ARMY, noble leader.
You have very few horses. Don't give your kingdom for any of them! Let me build more, many more, for your glory and the sake of the holy crusade. Let me also build wise inquisitors, able to use their great intelligence to open the road for your mighty knights.
I advise to build at least 20 knights and 10 inquisitors at once, and let them travel south to the holy city of Rome. There are superb and useful buildings in that city. One of those buildings will give happiness to your people. Another one will give strength to your troops.
Let me offer you Rome, noble leader. Let your kingdom become the Holy English Roman Empire.'
King Apolyton V answered:
'Yes indeed, build an army and take Rome for me! Go south , young man!'
(La Fayette, very happy to be named a young man , though he's over 63)

The Archbishop decided to increase the strength of our borders with the evil French. Many units have secured and occupy fortresses along the Rhine. While the frogs leapt vainly against our fine defenses, we tried a rear assault on Rennes - the first wave failed, but now the city is English. In the process, we killed no fewer than 20 French bad guys. Altho not part of our scheme to recapture the Holy Land, it has caused the French great grief.
Important events under the leadership of Archbishop de Sodaq:
1264 - Sack Adrianople
1265 - Ukrainian holdings razed by the evil heathens. Who cares, the citizens weren't christians anyway.
1268 - Fall one unit short of sacking Rennes...
1269 - Sack Naples and Ragusa, raze Seleucia, put heathen citizens to the sword. 
1270 - Sack Durazzo. Byzantines agree to a cease fire, which should give us time to bring in reinforcements. A horde of Byzantine bad guys hovers nearby... 
1272 - Our valiant marines sack Rennes. Truffles for dinner! All nearby French were slaughtered (in the name of God, of course), so no contact has been made since the sacking.
More units are ready to sail from Exeter to beef up defenses in Rennes until walls get built. Trebuchets and siege towers are slowly rolling toward Byzantium. 8 of our units wait in a fortress outside Constantinople, 2 more trebuchets are near. The French are swarming across the alps into English Italy. Defenses need to be strengthened there. Gold is in great abundance, despite wanton spending by the retiring Archbishop, who is on his way back to visit the nuns.

In their stead, the Archbishop of Sodaq shall take command of the crusade in the next day or so. We will teach the heathens a lesson in pain!
