Flesnolk posted:What's that "Is War Possible" decision? That's something from Project Balance. Basically, there's a lot more factors needed for certain special wars now, so when you take that decision, some more decisions pop up with the names of those wars. If you can take those decisions (they don't do anything and just stay there), you can declare that kind of war.

It's okay really, the narrative should not bend to the gameplay. Otherwise you'd get a pretty boring and unrealistic narrative because there's only so many things that can happen in the game.

Just remember to go to audiblepodcast.com/rome so that they know who sent you. GarageBand Acoustic Picking 18.aif plays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GmzK6_tAmo Hello, and welcome to the History of Rome. Episode 460: The Byzantine-Saimid War. So, yeah. The Seljuks, nemesis of the Eastern Empire for the last few weeks worth of podcasts— first in the form of Suleyman and his short-lived Sulanate of Rûm, and then in the consolidated Seljuk Empire which stretched from Anatolia to Afghanistan-- collapsed more or less overnight. The sudden fall of the Seljuks was so complete that it barely even mattered when a cabal of Turkish nobles bankrolled by the Byzantines murdered Sultan Ahmad. The new Sultan of the Persian Empire, Saim the Conquerer, had succeeded in seizing power over one of the largest empires in the medieval world with unprecedented speed. But when he was crowned King of Kings at Eskisehir, there were still a lot of balls in the air, including an uprising of Seljuk holdouts centered around the Persian city of Hormuz. This posed a dilemma for Alexios. As we've seen, his general tack towards the Seljuks after his first war to reclaim the Anatolian coast had always been to try to build up Byzantine strength through improvements to imperial administration and infrastructure and the curbing of smaller regional powers like Duklja, Rashka, and the Pechenegs. At the same time, though, he wasn't a dummy, and he knew that there wouldn't be another opportunity like this until who knows when. More importantly, he knew that the Senate and the Douxes knew this. If he didn't try to get a piece of the pie while he could, it would have been bad news for the legitimacy of the Komnenos dynasty. On the other hand, he was well aware of the risks of overextension. Remember that one time Justinian tried to reconquer the whole Western Empire? Yeah, not such a great idea in the long term. So when he declared war on the Saimid Empire, he set himself a relatively modest goal: the reclamation of the theme of Thracesia. His hope would that this would be enough to keep the Senate happy and continue the gradual chipping away at the Persian Empire without suddenly finding himself responsible for administering a huge swath of territory full of Sunni Turks. As had become Alexios' standard operating procedure, he sought aid from the West.  This time, however, Emperor Henry's aid came with some strings attached, and Alexios agreed to inervene in a border dispute between Hungary and the Holy Roman Empire.  The bulk of the Byzantine army remained in Anatolia, however, where Alexios hoped to take advantage of the Saimid still trying to mop up the remnants of the Seljuk loyalist forces in the area. In one of those strange coincidences of history we love so much, the Seljuk army that was busy being eradicated by the Saimids at Ankara was commanded by none other than Kilij Arslan, last seen being run out of Rûm on a rail by Sultan Ahmad.  Meanwhile, the Holy Roman Empire turned out to not really need Byzantium's help walking all over Hungary, and the war for Istria came to an end, freeing Henry to reinforce his brother in law in the east.  In short, everything was coming up Alexios. He'd pushed a Saimid army exhausted from trying to hunt down Seljuk holdouts out of Ankara, earned some brownie points with the emperor of the West without even lifting a finger, and now 13,000 Germans were bearing down on Anatolia. So of course he chose that moment to drop dead. The exact causes of Alexios' death are unknown. The Alexiad states that he died of an infected wound sustained in the Battle of Ankara, but as his health had been declining for the past several years, it's possible that it was sickness. Some historians have even suggested that it was the Hashshashin, out to avenge the assassination of Sultan Ahmad. I, for one, think that Livia did it.  Whatever the cause, Emperor Alexios I Komnenos died on June 3rd, 1099. He was 43 years old, and had ruled the empire for 18 years. When we assess an emperor's reign, it's always important to take into consideration just who it was who wrote the histories of their reign. To go waaaay back to episode 77, Domitian's contentious relationship with the Senate-- AKA, the guys who wrote the history of Domitian's reign-- caused the autocratic and stand-offish but still thoroughly competent Domitian to go down in history as the evil, bad, no-good Domitian who was pretty much the worst thing to happen to Rome, ever. With Alexios, we have the opposite problem— our main source for his reign is Iouliana Konmene, who was pretty much the president of the Alexios Komnenos Fan Club. Oh, and, you know, his daughter. Still, the most basic assessment of any emperor's reign is if he left the empire better off than he found it. When he came to the throne in 1081, the "Eastern Roman Empire" was pretty much just the empire of Greece and the Balkans. When he kicked the bucket, not only had the coast of Anatolia been reclaimed and Rascia brought to heel, but he'd also begun consolidating the Byzantine hold on the Black Sea. The trick was if his successors would be able to hold onto his gains. With the empire still at war, Alexios' son Meletios assumed power with a minimum of fuss.  As the boy was still 14, though, actual power was vested in the eunuch Athanasios, whose mastery of courtly intrigue made claiming the regency child's play.  Unfortunately for Athanasios, child's play would prove to be his undoing when Meletios pushed him out the balcony of the imperial palace.  Athanasios was 25 years old, and had been emperor in all but name for just over a month. The new regent was Gavril Mihajloic, a Serbian noble who was-- get this-- a member of the Dukljanin dynasty. He was apparently perfectly fine with Byzantine rule over Rascia, though, and had enjoyed the cushy post of steward to Alexios for some time. With court politics in chaos after the sudden death of Athanasios, power fell to him.  The next month, yet another sudden death rocked the imperial family— Princess Agnes of the Holy Roman Empire, whose marriage to the Byzantine prince Nikephoros had secured the alliance between east and west which had been a cornerstone of Alexios reign, died at the age of 26. Holy Roman Empire troops continued to participate in the war agains the Saimids, but the death meant that after hostilities concluded, the alliance would be more or less defunct.  Fortunately, the war with the Saimids had already been more or less won before Alexios died— not that it was that hard, since the whole idea was to just kick Saim while he was down-- so the two sides concluded a peace in September. Sultan Saim really didn't want to lose Thracesia, since he was pretty sure that the Byzantines would eventually come back to tear another chunk out of his Anatolian holdings. But he really, really didn't want the Saimid Empire to be overthrown the same year it was founded by a couple thousand Seljuk no-hopers who were pretty much armed with sharpened sticks and rocks at this point because all the Saimids' soldiers got killed by a bunch of Byzantines and Germans, so the territory was ceded.  Mihajloic knew that he couldn't just coast on lingering good will towards Alexios forever, and immediately set to work appeasing various nobles. Prince Nikephoros, in recognition of his good work in, um, being married to a German Princess? Not doing a very good job when he tried to assassinate Alexios? Promising not to do it again? Anyway, he was appointed Doux of Thracesia in a well-thought-out scheme.  Eumathios Philokales, Doux of Cyprus, was made Kouropalates-- honorary head of the palace. It's suspected that he made noises about favoring Nikephoros' succession to the imperial throne.  Finally, Prince Andronikos Doukas was given a giant pile of gold and a polite but firm letter asking him to please not start a second civil war, because that'd be a huge hassle and no fun for anyone.  With the Saimid Empire still in the throes of civil war, the Islamic world remained in chaos. Amidst all this, the Hashshashin continued to spread, no doubt getting up to all sorts of super secret assassination stuff.   Meanwhile, the Catholic kingdoms of Western Europe entered a period of extreme religious unrest. Fraticelli heretics succeeding in cutting a swath across northern France and occupied Paris, forcing King Philip to flee for his life into the countryside.  Emperor Henry, whose relationship with the Pope was always, um, contentious, finally had enough with Rome and backed his own pontiff, styled Pope Damasus III.  Robert the Cruel, the second Norman king of England, stayed loyal to Pope Nicholas III, tried to depose Henry's antipope-- and got his butt kicked, because, come on.  With his reputation in tatters, Robert soon found the lords of England rising up against him to install Prince William on the throne.  Mihajloic's rather baffling decision to make Prince Nikephoros responsible for the administration of Thracesia bore unexpected dividends when he uncovered a plot by our pal the ex-Sultan of Rum, Kilij Arslan Seljuk, to try and stake a claim on Nikephoros' holdings, which not so long ago were still part of Rum. Mihajloic had gambled that making Nikephoros a stakeholder in the fortunes of the empire would make him less inclined to riddle Emperor Meletios with arrows, and it seemed to be paying off.  In general, though, Mihajloic had a very hard time keeping the nobles of Byzantium in line. While none of them made a move towards claiming the throne, they also all wanted to be left alone to do their own thing. Like, say, wage private wars against the rebellious vassals of the Saimids without any authorization from Constantinople. In October, 1100, Anna Konmenos-- Alexios' niece and the Komessa of Chaldea, with the backing of the religious faction of the Senate, seized Coloneia from the Danishmend Beylerbeylik. This was theoretically a victory for Byzantium, and Mihajloic duly trotted Meletios out in front of the Senate to praise Komessa Anna's efforts in the continuing reconquest of Anatolia. Still, it doesn't exactly look good for the imperial administration when some random relative who wasn't even a Doukessa could just march around Asia minor and set foreign policy.  Religious chaos in the West, dynastic struggles in the East, and backstabbing nobles running amok at home. It was against this backdrop that Emperor Meletios came of age.  He was ambitious and competent in many of the arts of statecraft, but he had none of the administrative or military talents of his father. He wasn't terrible or anything. But he also wasn't that good. He was just kind of mediocre.  Meanwhile, Mihajloic slunk off to marry his Meletios' stepmother, the Dowager Empress Jaddvor.  Finally, Meletios himself followed in his father's footsteps by marrying a talented Norsewoman.  Next week, we'll see how the teenage emperor deals with nobles running amok, a Senate with their watches set to AD 117, Western Europe being in the midst of some kind of double pope ecclesiastical meltdown, and the continuing battle for control over the Persian Empire between the Saimids and the surviving Seljuks. For now, though, let's leave him at his wedding, where his Danish wife came with a giant pile of gold and-- hopefully-- a steady hand on the tiller of the ship of state. WORLD MAP, 1101

Even without the German alliance, we seem to be in a fairly good position. I'd recommend slowly chomping up Anatolia and consolidating our position, but if Meletios has the ambitious trait and you're going to roleplay him that way, slow, gradual conquest might not be in the cards. In any case, I hope Meletios' heir will be better than he is.

I've been playing largely Tengriists since Old Gods came out, and it has done wonders to improve my appreciation and study of the pre-Mongolian steppes peoples. In those games, though, Byzantium tens to be the final boss type, who, if defeated, opens the way to conquer all of Christiandom. So this look into the other side of the situation, and from the perspective of a weakened Roman Empire, has been nothing but fascinating to me. The presentation has always been quite top notch, so congratulations on that.

PART EIGHT: The, Um, "Meletiad"  (1101-1118)Excerpts from the collected letters of an anonymous Turkish lady in waiting serving in the court of Constantinople. Her identity-- and, indeed, the authenticity of the letters in general-- is hotly debated. Nonetheless, they were at the very least written contemporaneously with the events they describe, and therefore serve as a valuable source for Turkish perspectives on the Komnenian era. Dates have been converted to the Christian calendar for the reader's convenience. My Sultan, I must confess, I scarcely believed it when your agent approached me. There was a point in my life when I despaired of ever being free of the Roman yoke— under Alexios, the Komnenian sun rose, while Rum was laid low and the Seljuk Empire descended into depravity and decadence. Things have changed much over the past years, however, and I am therefore prepared to give my account of Roman affairs in the time since Alexios' treacherous war against the Saimid Empire in the time of strife following its formation left me on the wrong side of the imperial border. In truth, I had a very easy time moving among the circles of power of the empire. Much of the administrative apparatus that set up in Anatolia by Rum, taken over by the Seljuk Empire, and seized by the Saimids was left intact by the Roman conquerers, with many of the same bureaucrats and lower level functionaries left in place under the watchful eye of a Greek Doux of Doukassa. And, of course, the peasantry till the land as always, as indifferent to their new masters as their mothers and fathers were to Suleyman's original usurpation of Roman authority decades ago. This is disheartening, but hardly surprising. What's more disconcerting is how many men and women of my class are more than happy to collaborate with Rome. It is fortunate that God guided your missive to me, as I fear that many of my peers would have turned your agent into the Empress post-haste. Paradoxically, it was this same treachery that permitted me to observe the affairs I am now relaying to you. By June 1101, there is no way to describe the state of the Saimid Empire other than simply "shattered". Alexios' last war tore another bloody chunk out of what was left of the conquests of Suleyman. The vassals of the boy emperor Meletios felt free to conquer breakaway Muslim realms without even caring to involve imperial forces. The Saimids still struggled to hold together a non-contiguous realm in a civil war led by Seljuk loyalists. It is therefore perhaps worth noting that when an Orthodox uprising broke out on the doorstep of our capital, Meletios did nothing.  He was very much under the sway of the Old Romans of the Senate, and much beholden to ancient delusions of grandeur.  Meletios knew the importance of maintaing an appearance of piety, of course— the Orthodox Church remained a potent political force. Nobody was fooled by his façade of religious sentiment, however.  Furthermore, he was a man very much living in the shadow of his father. The greatest glory of his short reign was victory in a war started by Alexios and prosecuted by his regents. He hungered for more.  Empress Ingeborg, however, was a gifted diplomat and likely did much to maintain good relations between Meletios and his lords and ladies.  In 1102, she gave birth to a daughter named Eirene, in honor of Alexios' first wife.  Meletios' spymaster Nikephoros Komnenos accused the Emperor's cousin Ioannes of plotting to murder his liege. Perhaps the allegations were even true— I doubt it mattered to the paranoid Meletios.  When Ioannes received word that he was to be arrested, he raised his banner in rebellion against the empire. It did him little good— only 500 men rallied to his cause, and he was quickly crushed.  Unlike his father, however, Meletios had no desire to preside over a empire of "Douxes in golden chains," and dealt swiftly with the unlucky rebel. The incident was shocking to a nobility used to the clemency of Alexios, and doubly shocking because the victim of Meletios' cruelty was his own cousin.  Meanwhile, Islam was dealt a bloody blow when the crown of the Persian Empire was seized by Muhammad Seljuk, more concerned with the prestige of his depraved dynasty than forming a common front against the Roman menace. I must confess, this is when my spirits were at their lowest— I had little hope the Seljuks could ever challenge their Komnenos rivals.  I was heartened, however, by the simple fact that the Douxes of the Roman Empire were equally prone to warring amongst themselves, wasting blood and treasure for their own benefit.  Meletios' particular brand of diplomacy was not well-received among certain of his vassals.  The great Saim the Conquerer met an ignominious end in a Seljuk dungeon on January 11th, 1104.  Meletios' attention was turned north, however, as he sought to impose Roman dominion over the Black Sea at the expense of the various Tengri states on the steppes.  He was unaffected by the news that his father's close friend and ally, Emperor Henry IV, had died.  Victory agains the Pechenegs and their allies came easily to Rome— no amount of clever maneuvering by the horse archers could trump the sheer numbers the Romans brought to bear.  The war was over by 1105, and Meletios was one step closer to turning the Black Sea into a Roman lake.  As was the case in the last Roman war against the Pechenegs, Meletios entrusted direct responsibility over the new conquests to Pecheneg Orthodox nobles. This time, however, dreaming of ships with Roman flags dominating trade in the Black Sea and beyond, he established a merchant republic in Belgorod.  In general, Meletios cast a wide net in seeking talents to relieve him of the burdens of governance.  On the other hand, the men and women who built the empire he had inherited began to die off. Arni, captain of the Varangian Guard and the Butcher of Rum died in 1109 after he was maimed by the peasants he was trying to train in the ways of war.  Not even Meletios' co-religionists were safe from his lust for dominance in the Black Sea.  The details of Rome's "victory" over the tiny principality of Korchev are scarcely worth repeating.  In 1112, Sultan Muhammad died and a new Seljuk rose to power.  Yaghi Sian Seljuk sought to begin turning back the Roman tide through more proactive means than his predecessors. The two sides were evenly matched; however, Meletios was not a temperate commander.  His army was routed by an entrenched Seljuk army.  After only a single battle, Meletios surrendered. The short-sighted Seljuk sultan demanded the return of only a single province, however.  Still, it was a blow to Meletios' prestige. The riots in Constantinople that followed were ostensibly precipitated by a chariot race, but there was an undertone of anger at the regime underscoring them.  Shortly thereafter, Andronikos Doukas made a second play for the Roman crown he felt was his family's due.  Cilicia declared an opportunistic war in hopes of expanding its territory at Rome's expense.  Meletios called his ally Mstislav Rurikovich of Kiev into his wars, hoping that the alliance between the two Orthodox powers of the East would prove as fruitful as his father's alliance with the Holy Roman Empire had in decades past.  Kiev was distracted by its own expansionistic ambitions, however, so Mstislav's support meant very little.  It hardly mattered, however. Andronikos has few friends left in the empire, and his revolt was easily crushed by Rome's armies alone.  Free of the distraction of the ill-fated Second Doukas Revolt, Cilicia too was swiftly defeated. While Rome was still reeling from the catastrophes of the war against the Seljuks, it was still able to hold its own.  Meletios also took certain steps he deemed essential in preventing a Third Doukas Revolt.  Around this time, however, the Emperor fell ill. Court historians will no doubt refrain from naming his ailment, just as they did the illness that fell Alexios. I, however, am not bound by fidelity to the Komnenos or their false empire. So I shall plainly state that father and son were both plagued by gonorrhea.  An outbreak of slow fever in Constantinople likely helped the imperial household conceal the true nature of the emperor's illness.  He died nonetheless, and his daughter took the throne as Eirene II.  (no world map this update since I've had to split up one bunch of playing. Just picture England breaking up about 20 times as its new Norman rulers did their best to eat one another) Empress Theonora fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Feb 8, 2014 |
