Im playing on difficulty hard, aggresive. This is my first AAR, so remember that when your reading it:
The Principality of Wallacia under Radu cel Mare(3/2/5) is in a sad state in 1492. The coffers are nearly empty, with only 74 ducats, a yearly income of 4 ducats, there is a buget deficit of .6 ducats, our military is pathetic, with 5,000 footmen and 5,000 horse, and the infidel Turks lord over the mighty princes of Wallacia. We long for the great days of Vlad Tepes when Wallacia princes were great and mighty.
I immediatly set my goals, my mission is to hold Wallacia, but I wish to do much more. I want to unify all Romania under the Wallachian flag, and to do this I must crush the barbarous Hungarians and the Moldavian usurpers. Then I must turn my sights on my infidel masters, the Turks.
Since my coffers are nearly empty, I decide to take a loan. I spend the money on building an army to crush the Moldavians.
Meanwhile I send my diplomats on missions to the Hapsburgs and the Bohemians and we form an alliance to crush the Hungarian dogs when the time is right.
I send all of our mighty nation merchants to Novgorod, where the competition is not as fierce as Venice, and soon I am just under Russia with 4 merchants.
I bide my time and build troops until I develop field artillery in July of 1453. Then I deplete my coffers building 20 cannons.
In Febuary of 1494 Moldova begins upgrading fortifications and I know I must strike immediately. I declare war and my stability takes a huge hit, it goes from +3 to 0. The Moldovans attack sacred Wallacia first, and the battle is over before it began. 5,000 Moldovan Infantry and 5,000 cavalry fight my 21,000 Infantry, 5,000 Cavalry, and 20 Guns under our Commander Bozau(1/0/1). Bozau and the Wallacian army then move to Moldova and using our great guns we, the mighty Wallacians, conquer and annex Moldova.
Having doubled my domains, I then turn my attention diplomatically and economically, I marry my daughters to the Hapsburgs, the Bohemians, and the rulers of Baden. My coffers now have 1 d!!! I know not what to do! I then decide to exit the game and it 1494 Wallacia is tied for second place with the Hanse with 36 VP's with, yup, you guessed it, Spain coming in first with 133 VP's.
