This AAR is filled more with statistics. I've had 0 input in the game, that is I let the game go without making any decisions whatsoever to see how the a.i plays itself out. 1492-1792. I chose Portugal, this way it wouldn't be too problematic for me because she is a tiny country.
Following is information taken from specific dates during the campaign. Info includes:
* Most powerful Military alliances
* Victory Point numbers at a given year in the campaign
* Major territorial changes / wars
* Various info on land tech/land sizes/other assorted things.
------
First date checked: 1545. (start was in 1492).
Major Alliances in rank from largest / and in my op most powerful.
a) Poland-France-Scotland-Savoy-Papal States and Naples
b) Turkey, Crimea and Hedjaz. Crimea and Wallachia are Ottoman vasals
c) England-Venice-Prussia
VP's
Spain 1117
Turkey 516
Poland 385
Russia 383
Major occurances.
Turks / Austrians strike into the Venetian territories independent of each other. Venice is left with only its namesake province, a small outcrop of Ragusa and the islands in the east Mediterranean.
Muscovy rips into Kazan and Golden Horde. Poland takes advantage invading Muscovy shredding her to pieces. Horde so far escapes, greatly reduced.
Sweden breaks vassalage with Denmark and invades, forcing them to hand over Trodenheim and Christiania.
Austria vassalizes Hungary, creating a power base that would see it dominate central Europe from now on.
