 Library of Congress posted:The Holy Americus, First Book of Lincoln Queen Petra calls upon her levies and vassals and amasses a force of 15,000 men under her personal command to lay siege to the city of Philadelphia.  Her husband Richard, however, opts to pursue a project of his own: subjugating what remains of the Kingdom of Ohio. The powerful Duke of Raritan supports him in this undertaking and it seems unlikely that the beleaguered realm of Ohio will be able to resist the finest military mind in Columbia-Delmarva.  Petra's undertaking, however, is supported by many in the faith, who wish to see Philadelphia returned to Americanist hands. In every city along the east coast courts take up donations to support the Penrose queen.  Another Americanist invasion is underway far to the west, where a charming young courtier has convinced the Count of Genesee to fund an invasion of Isle Royale, a small 45 mile long strip of land in Lake Superior. A strange plot to be sure, but it may meet with some success.   In October of 2861 the city gates of Philadelphia fall. Under strict orders from the queen, the Columbian forces leave the populace unmolested.  The war has been going for more than a year before the Redcoats and their allies in the Maritimes seem to react. A large fleet of Maritiman ships appears, carrying a couple thousand men. They are easily dispatched and among the chaos of their flight one of the princes of the Maritimes is caught.   The war drags on without anything but minor Redcoat forces in sight. They prove good target practice for the firearmed queen, if nothing else.   A significant British army is finally spotted at Hoboken in 2864, where the infantry-heavy force is easily outmaneuvered by the heavy Delawarean dragoons of Petra's army.   It is enough to convince the Lord Admiral to surrender the city.  With the loss of Philadelphia the naval might of the Dominion has been dealt another crushing blow. The ships that escape limp back to the capital city of Boston and Petra retains the ancient city for her demesnes.  Her piety proven by retaking Philadelphia, the judges of the realm are more than happy to support her proposed changes to the succession laws.  The Dominion, still reeling from the loss of Philadelphia, loses much of the Hudson shore when the Duchy of the Green Mountains passes out of the realm.  To celebrate her victory Queen Petra calls for a grand tournament to be held on the National Mall at Washington. Amongst the crowd of spectators the peace is kept by the Royal Dragoons, whose red, white and blue plate armor, light crossbows and chain-draped mounts are an intimidating sight.   It is perhaps a sign of approval for Petra's reign from the Fathers that all three winners of the contest are women.    The tournament and festivities wrap up in August and everyone agrees that it was a magnificent spectacle. It does much to strengthen the prestige of the realm and the queen.  The tournament also provides a chance for many to meet the new Duke of Maryland and future king of Columbia-Delmarva, Andrew I Penrose. Andrew is not able to stay long, however, because the war that claimed his father's life in Ohio demands his attention.  With the death of her first husband, Petra is now forced to rely more on her own knowledge of war. For some this might be a challenge, but Queen Petra is no weakling and after a short period of grief she remarries and takes up her sword again, vowing to push the Duke of Green Mountains out of the Catskills.  At Cooperstown she meets Duke Hudson II on the field of battle. Her heavy cavalry crush the Hudsonian light cavalry and allow her to hit the main battle line in the rear with a thousand light cavalry.  No longer in the shadow of her more accomplished husband, Petra is beginning to gain a reputation for bold, aggressive action on the battlefield.  When not at war Petra likes to spend her time hunting or debating with her theologian friends. One of them, Judge Truesdell, gifts her a young hunting dog of distinguished breeding. She is delighted, and names the puppy Faithful.   In 2866 the war her son inherited finishes. The tattered remnants of Ohio are incorporated into the lands of the Duke of Maryland.  In December another victory is scored against the Duke of Green Mountains, convincing him that there is no hope of resisting the Penrose queen. The war ends and Columbia grows once more.   The next few years are quieter. Strikeball continues to grow in popularity throughout the realm, providing the nobility with a delightful spectator sport and peasants with a reason to learn to be good at hitting things with a club.   Petra continues to indulge in grand hunts, traipsing through the woods with her courtiers in tow.   When one of these hunts fails to bag the famed white stag, Petra finds comfort in long conversations with a local peasant.  In 2870 outrageous news comes from the west. The Catholics, engaged in yet another of their Crusades for Rio Grande, have actually won for once! The Kings of Iowa and Platte funded the Knights of Columbus in the war, allowing the holy order to defeat the forces of King Carbajal IV of Rio Grande.  In recognition of their services, the knights have been granted all of the conquered lands from the Crusade. This amounts to a sizable portion of the wealthy Gulf Coast.  In 2871 President Bielow passes away. Petra, now old enough, enters the race.  Initial polls show the reclaimer of Philadelphia far ahead of her opponents.  Meanwhile, the Queen spends time at home training Faithful.  The election day comes and the votes are cast. Where her father failed, Petra has succeeded. The presidency is bestowed to Queen Petra, the first female President in over 200 years.

The people need to know: did President Petra change her wig because it polled better????  what a coronation.What unlocks Americanist Crusades? A crusade for New England would be so appropriate right now. Apparently they are called Liberation Wars. Bollocks. They should obviously be called Revolutionary Wars. Both the LP and the Mod are amazing.

 Library of Congress posted:The Holy Americus, Fourth Book of Lincoln With her election to the presidency, Petra begins focusing more on internally reforming the kingdom. The greatest failure of her ancestor Nehem the Great was that his realm was never strongly centralized, which meant that after his son Elijah the Conqueror died the realm splintered. This weakness allowed the Redcoat Dominion to swallow kingdoms piecemeal. The task before Petra will be ensure that she leaves behind a strong and stable realm. Her pet, Faithful, helps keep the queen diligent and ready for this task.  The first step is to stabilize the neighboring kingdom of Appalachia, which might easily be targeted by the Holy Columbian Confederacy during its long period of civil war and raids by foreign pagans. As luck would have it, she has a perfect candidate to do this in her third husband, Celeron.  Two armies of about 5,000 soldiers each are raised, though the depleted realm shows no signs of putting up much resistance.  In December a small force is sighted and pursued into Hazard. As usual the Columbians have the cavalry advantage and at one point King Celeron Hogg himself ramps over several enemy infantrymen on his horse, a red charger he calls The General.  By 2875 most of southern Appalachia is under Columbian occupation.  It does not take much longer for the king to surrender his crown to Celeron. The remaining rebels and raiders plaguing the realm are hunted down by the royal dragoons, their bodies displayed as a warning: the Americanist army is ready to swoop in and restore peace at a moments notice.  President Petra returns to Washington where she holds a number of great feasts and hunts, improving the prestige of her realm both at home and abroad. In 2877 she scores a great victory in this regard when she hunts down the famous white stag. The head of the magnificent creature is stuffed and mounted over her throne at the Pentagon.  But the stag is perhaps cursed, for a most troubling thing occurs soon afterwards. The female lover President Petra had taken in secret gives birth and the woman claims that she has bedded nobody but Petra. The president would have doubted this, but the pregnancy began and ended in less than a month. Petra is unsure if this is a curse or some plan of the Fathers, and ponders the mystery deeply.  In June news comes of a war between the Maritimes and the Redcoats.  War is a simple and predictable subject for Petra, far more predictable than virginal lesbians giving birth. Perhaps to distract herself, perhaps to dispel rumors of strange devilry occurring at the court, she takes advantage of the Lord Admiral's distracted state and declares war for the holy city of Boston.  Outside New York President Petra assembles a force of 20,000 men, nearly 3,500 of them mounted warriors.  But rumors of disease in the interior of New England make Petra hesitant to move onto the Redcoat capital too quickly. Instead, she splits her force in two and begins sieging holdings near the border.  In 2879 the first sizable Redcoat force arrives to put down a couple thousand rebels in Fishkill. The Columbian armies move in to strike at the 5,500 Redcoats before they can rest from the battle.  The British are slaughtered as they retreat across the Hudson.  In May the two armies begin sieging the holdings of the Duchy of Boston. Boston was the first place where the Redcoats landed and has served as the Dominion's capital and primary port ever since.  The Redcats, however, do not seem intent on defending the city. Months pass and the Columbians are unopposed.  The Lord Admiral himself is spotted leading a force at Middleburgh. The battle is short, as the Columbian army has more cavalry and heavy infantry.  Nursing a broken leg from the battle, the Lord Admiral gives up and surrenders the duchy to Petra. The last holy site of Americanism on the east coast has returned to the faithful. As Petra walks the streets of the city, she marvels at the sights and history. It was here that Elijah Shuguin I, the son of a wealthy landowner, started a dynasty that united the feuding Yankee tribes into a proper kingdom and reformed the Occultist faith. It was here that the British landed and created a massive, though brief, empire that brought a grand influx of new ideas and goods into America. But it was here too that the 13 tribes of America first resisted foreign tyranny, hanging tea around their necks to remind themselves of the bitterness of slavery and setting the Inglish fleet ablaze. The lands of the duchy are divided among Petra's younger sons.  But the President has more sons than land to give and one of them, the talented Prince Richard, has grown tired of waiting for a chance to lead. He approaches his mother and requests her permission to travel with some British merchants across the ocean for several years. Eager to establish trade with the wealth of Europe, she agrees and sends him away with her blessing and a small detachment of loyal dragoons.  In 2881the 55 year old President of the faithful and Queen of Columbia-Delmarva holds a grand celebration for the reclamation of Boston.  But there is another reason for the feast. When the foreign dignitaries and feudal vassals are all in attendance she declares herself Empress of Columbia and Queen of Columbia, Delmarva and Alleghania.  It is a new day in America.

Yeah, this is, sadly or not, depending on how you feel about it, one of the many, many bugs getting fixed in the next expansion/patch. What are you going to do now that you have the empire of columbia? Also, for anyone interested: My new holy orders are part of the mod now as of the latest comit. I hope to get at least one for every reformable religion. The eone I'm working on at the moment is the occultists, who may resurrect the ancient esoteric order known only as the Freemasons.

Odd choice. As for everyone else.  (Release version will be slightly different.) Beware their coming, especially if Americanist! (Freemasonry is one of the devil figures, alongside flouridation and agenda 21, that they have). The implication here is slightly changed from my original idea. Instead of being a new order, they are in fact implied to have persisted through the event and the intervening centuries. Or maybe they are a new order and are just claiming to be that old.
