Holy shit. Haha...this game is looking awesomely interesting. On the bright side, we now have 3 cored provinces. Burgundy is in full rape mode atm as well. They seem unstoppable. Looks like Lorraine is finally going down after 70 years!

France is nice to OPM's in the Empire.

Burgundy just doesn't give a fuck.

aragon making a comback and that stupid part of castille has been released. aragon at war with castille again aswell, looks like its the end of the yellow blob, until aragon forms spain that is, long live the yellow blob!. burgundy already ripping brittany a new one, will probably just release states who will realign with france soon enough. golden horde beat hungary AGAIN. but its only 1 more province till they meat austria which is basically gg for them.

predictions

granada or some africans get released as christian monarchies and before the end of the game becomes the emperor at some point.

The year is 1468. Archbishop Franz Egon I is brooding in his chamber over a map of Alsace and the lost territory of Wurttemberg. Franz Egon is old, blind and half senile but he still remember the defeat against Bavaria.

This should be his downfall, he refused to eat, drink or even talk to his fellow men. Every day was spend praying to god and every night full of nightmares.

Within a year he was dead and another Archbishop took his place:

Archbishop Louis René I

He was a young and energetic man and dreamed of the day that Alsace might unite the land of men under the flag of god.
But he knew that it would not be an easy task.

He gave his advisor's a mission, accumulate money.

While they scraped together all the gold they could, for the glory of Alsace, the old Austrian Emperor died and the Holy Roman Empire got a Bohemian Emperor:

Ludvik II of Bohemia

Soon the mission that Louis René gave his advisor's was completed. But the Archbishop had a revalation, Lorraine was a threat, so his trusted advisor's got a new mission:

Let the army grow.

That was soon accomplished and we now stood a better chance in a eventual war against Lorraine, the Archbishop then got another revelation, Lorraine was not the threat!
If they aren't the threat he thought he might make them our friends and he told his diplomatic advisor to send and envoy to Lorraine:

That night the Archbishop dreamt that the army of Trier would pour over Alsace:

The build-up of the army would continue.

An advisor died and a new took his place, he was a trader of heart and knew how to handle merchants, he thought it might be a good idea to pass a liqour act:

It would give Louis René more gold for arms.

Soon thereafter steps was made to embrace more free trade
Other steps was made to revitalize to country, the bureaucracy was expanded and there was formalized a standard for scales and weight:

A new national idea spread through the country:

With this Louis René found that he could afford to send merchants to nearly all the known center of trades in Europe and soon gold began to flow into Alsace's coffers.
With this new found gold his advisor's advised him to begin building armouries in all the provinces.

Year went by a then one day a noble family from a northern province was granted control of their local church in exchange for a small donation to the state:

Then one day an diplomat begged an audience with the Archbishop, Wurttemberg was at war with Austria!
Louis saw his chance, he declared war on Wurttemberg, his new grand army marched over the border and soon took control of the major cities in Wurttemberg.
Peace was soon reached and Wurttemberg was happy to become a vassal yet again:

Louis René was now a happy man, he had control of the long lost Wurttemberg and he saw a bright future for Alsace.

---

My term is done. Not much happened, we got back Wurttemberg as a vassal.
We are maxes in free trade and got a new national idea.
Our army is double the size it was when I started.

Britany is leading a personal union with England but it seems they are going to lose big time to Burgendy.

I think the next step should be to gang up on Bavaria with our vassal and allies, we could take them!
Burgundy and Austria is someone we have to deal with at 1 point but I can't see how at the moment.

Timurids had nearly all of northern Africa but is now crumbling

is it just me that prefers the diplo map rather than political map for end of turn screenshots? you cant actually see who are your vassels unless they all form a nice line for your name to run through ;(

on another note, i told you all castille would get fucked again and they would release granada ;d and austria is raping GH

granada as emperor you heard it here first

tunisia also got released which should mean its now a christian monarchy.

OH FUCK LOOK AT THAT AUSTRIA. SHIT SON, PREPARE YOUR ANUS ASIA BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET FUCKED.

Shhh, it's all actually your fault.

Now don't let Switzerland fool you next person! It may be only 4 provinces, but behind those nice, beautiful mountains is a 20 stack of troops with all mountain region making it nigh impossible to do jack shit against! Although, in the long run, Switzerland should be a primary goal. Not too many allies, very rich, and probably the best defensive terrain in the entire game.

well, any advisor you create or gets generated in your territory gets you money if bought by another nation (which happens almost all the time)
