This was a little easier this time around, as I knew what I wanted to do, and remembered from my mistakes before. The only surprise was Karaman DoWing Ghazi, which was rather stupid of the ai. I lost them as a vassal out of it and ended up controling Konya rather early. I got an extra point of BB and a little over twenty years RR coming.

Albania and Tabzon were annexed ahistorically early due to Albania's refusing to stay in alliance and breaking its vassalage. Trabzon added another BB point, Gerogia did as well, but by releasing it as a vassal I hope it took a point with.

As noted previously, the Absorbtion events are totally out of whack. A 6 or 7 Centralization would not be ahistorical, but 9 is ridiculous. That, however, was caused by the megalomanic event.

In this war with Qara Koyunlu I hope to vassalize them, but if I can get Armenia I'll also be happy. I'd kinda like to get Iraq and Hamadan Tabriz, etc., as that will allow me gather up a lot of Persia for free.

All in all, the OE is strong and stable at this point.

Well, the Crusade Against the Turk was interesting. I haven't switched to 1.28 yet, but the other country events should only fire if Hungary goes to war.

Other than that, it was pretty slow and uneventful.

Well, this decade was sort of uneventful. I briefly pushed my BB up to rather bad. Why so high? Annexing too many one-prov minors. I gotta get away from that, let my neighbors gobble each other up and then BAM! It's what I intend to do to Venice after they take Albania. They already have Morea and Athens. Centralization is an insane 10. Stability, at least, is positive.

It occurs to me that by not messing around with my dip sliders, I'm not simulating the player's loss of stab. Hmmmmm.

This is a bug and should definitely be reported. The population command is not supposed to reduce population below 1000. It certainly never could reduce them below 700 when that was the limit for colonial cities. I thought that this had been fixed.

Well, I sure got thumped. Hungary and Poland together are a rather formidible foe, but I screwed up by splitting up my forces rather than sending everything to Bujak to begin with. I got lucky that I didn't lose Bosnia, Bulgaria, and Dobruja, though I hope that would have stripped some BB from me.

I'm slowly recovering and I hope to be able to grab Taurus, Adana, and Sivas from a Mameluke Ak Koyunlu alliance, though the sheep are huge!

My inflation isn't good, but that's from all those war taxes. Stability has been a nightmare to keep high. Everytime I get it where I want it, I get slapped down with another random event.
