1435-38 Years of peace in the middle of conflict
Because my state is still weak, today I will continue to keep a low profile, wait for opportunities and raise my treasury.
November 1435
Sweden accepted peace with Norway. Denmark and Novgorod by paying 172 gold. I wished they would have lost provinces because they were doing really bad.
March 1436
I reach land tech level 2.
April 1436
I reach naval tech level 2. My neigbours Serbia and Duchy of Athens have still 1/1 levels when Croatians have reached land tech 2 but not naval level. Venetians have reached both second levels. I guess we are not such backward country after all.
August 1436
Croatia, one province minor has an army of 33k. Did I already mentioned that AI cheats on maintenance costs? They probably plan to attack against Serbia, why else they would need such a huge army? But they are still in war against Mainz. How often AI declares wars when it is already having another war? I don’t remember any such case.
December 1436
Army of Brittany is besieging Mantua. Yeah, they were together with Mainz in war with Austrian alliance so I guess they have just made ships and carried their army to Adriatic Sea through Gibraltar and simply besieged Mantua. This kind of warfare is one of the AI accomplishments which I haven’t ever done.
March 1437
Georgia declares war upon Golden Horde and Ottomans dishonor their alliance.
May 1437
Ottomans join again an alliance led by Golden Horde.
July 1437
Mantua is annexed by Brittany. Well, miracles do happen. Unfortunately I don’t think I can gain anything form this.
Mainz falls. Luxemburg accepts peace with Mainz gaining Cologne and Pfalz. Hungarian alliance is now again in peace, which means that they will attack Serbia sooner or later. Austria annexes Mainz. Their war against Brittany continues.
August 1437
Heir to my crown borns.
September 1437
France annexes Auvergne. They have already before annexed Province.
Ottomans besiege Georgia.
October 1437
Although my neighbourhood is very peaceful and my country is doing well, I can’t really afford easily new wars. Problem is not only low income, my man power is on 4. So it would take really long for me to build great army.
November 1437
NIA expires.
I enter a royal marriage with Croatia. I don’t want them to use their huge army to attack me.
I join military alliance of the Knights (leader), Cypros and Venice. If I would wait any longer Venetians could attack me. Being with them in the same alliance is good. This alliance should be also able to protect me. This alliance will expire November 1438 if no new wars are declared. I prefer alliances that expire soon because it leaves more space for my tactics.
December 1437
Papal States declare war upon Toscana. Well, peaceful and united Italian peninsula seems to be history.
Toscana accepts military alliance proposed by Genoa. Papal States does same with Siena. Because Siena and Genoa are alliance leaders, war stays restricted.
Albert I is elected to be first Habsburg as an empiror.
Muscovy accepts peace with Sibir by paying 15 gold and giving them Ryazan. Their war against Golden Horde and other allies continues though.
Toscanan army besieges Ragusa.
January 1438
Hungary, Luxemburg, Siebenburg and Croatia (all land tech level two) declare war upon Orthodox Alliance (all land tech level one).
February 1438
Bohemia joined alliance of Austria, Bavaria and Milan and their stupid war with Brittany.
Croatian army besiges Krain.
April 1438
Poland joins the Hungrian alliance. Bad for Serbs, good for me.
June 1438
Romagna surreders to Toscanan army.
Croatian 5k army beats Serbian 22k army in Croatia which attempted to cross a river to Croatia.
July 1438
People of Makedonia rebel against Ottomans. War exhaustion seems to become a problem for them.
Toscanan army besieges Marche.
August 1438
Starssburg joined Austrian alliance and their war aginst Brittany.
Army of Hungarian alliance besieges Wallachia.
Genoa and Toscana declare war upon Milan, Austria, Bavaria, Bohemia and Strassburg. Interesting. It seems that Italian wars will last long. Army of Toscana leaves Marche.
September 1438
Helvetia joins alliance of Siena and Papal States.
Hungarian alliance besieges Moldova.
Bavarian 22k army besieges Mantua.
Forces of Toscana and Brittany besiege Milan.
October 1438
Georgia surrenders to Ottomans and is annexed.
November 1438
Austrian 25k army joins Bavarian siege in Mantua.
My military alliance with Venice, the Knights and Cypros expires.
The Knights join the Orthodox Alliance and their war against Hungary and allies. Probably they think that Orthodoxians can fight with them against Ottomans.
Venice joins an alliance with Brittany meaning that they join a war against Austria and allies. Well, that removes fear from me. Actually my position is now excellent. Everybody in the area are in war and I am in peace.
