Turkey still declared war on Dulkadir, swiftly won it and annex her.
I forgot the date tho.. *note: Dulkadir was a Turkish vassal so we got a nice -4 stab for that*

April 1448 is the date now.

Riot's? you bet, revolts all over the place constantly! Those pesky Christians, putting them to the sword as fast as one can but.. there's just so many of them!
Next I think I'll fight another Mameluk war, (they're such easy prey :D ) pick up 3 or so provinces there to leave them with 1 or 2 at most.. then probably annex Candar or Cyprus. Or both, yeah, both sounds good.

And I will continue to try and vassalise the Hedjaz! Diploannex baby.

At worst, we went upto all 5 loans being taken out(during byzan war), but now we've gotten it down to 3. Should get it down to 2 soon.
 
Hmm, isn't it WAY too fast? Of course, fun to see, but unhistorical for such a major conquests from your side happen so easily, and for such a major wars inside of HRE. Any official comment?
 
from my expericen, europe goes kaboom from 1419 to 1492 (prolly trying to get them to go to they're 1492 form).

*shrug* Mameluks werent much opposition, Byzantine was tough, but after I'd captured they're provinces, they coudn't raise armies and I still had empty provinces, so it was merely a matter of time then (though they did come close, but not close enough)

Dulkadir, and Serbia, step 1, amass large army, step 2 wait for diplomat, step 3 surprise them!
 
It is wrong for such a major wars in HRE. I am fine with any other wars, but i don't think it is realistic to have such effective and often wars in HRE. In this case, Germany would be united by 1500AD.
 
PPete, thanks for the AAR, looks interesting.

Does seem to be a little bit too much annexation going on, not just the human but also the AI.

AI England looks as crap as EU1, losing to France and losing their annexation of Brittany.

From reading all the AARs I'm yet to be convinced that some of the fundemental problems of EU have been fixed, and all the new features in the world won't make up for that.
 
Byzantium becomes Sunni??!!!

And why are you having revolts? Is it because you don't have CB shields or because you have very low tolerance?

And can you not convert any of your provinces?

In that case they'll have to expand undisturbed. ;)
Would hardly work in that age.
 
Yeah! I forced the Byzantines to become Sunni!

As turkey, I have CB shields over half of the planet. Revolts are a result of religious intolerance (too many damn christians!)

sean9898 , remember that in this period of time, England is actually SUPPOSED to get its rear kicked, from this to 1492, all that england did was lose its french posessions bar calais.

If you look at the annexations, Friesland and Gelre did a couple of them, but they should be Austrian territories by 1492 right?

Hungary added Croatia to itself, and if you read the venezia aar that was robbed by a bunch of balkan debaters, it obviously was very close to being annexed by hungary anyways, so thats not a biggie

And usually the HRE city states fight one or two wars a century, then wait for you to be a badboy to jump on you, or wait to get lands from alliance wars. So they're behaviour has only been strange in that it all occurred already.-. but it is a mathematic possibility =P

and do remember it's still a beta. I dont know if the hard/agressive/normal thingys have been put in properly yet to be honest. and scenario wise i think austria is a bit too weak at the start, in most of my games when the ai plays austria, it loses land before 1492. but when i've played austria, ive gotten land before 1492. as the game's not really chrashing anymore, these are the sort of scenario balance things they're trying to find out now.
 
Interesting reading. Was this expansion funded at the expense of research? Did you run out of recruits at any stage? Is the Badboy mechanism unchanged from EU1 or more refined?

Steel
 
I think it is great you can convert heathens from OTHER religions! As opposed to local (Shia) heathens! :D :D :D

Heh, heh, heh... My first goal.. Shia Scotland!

Don't take this personally, but I'm beginning to hate Bulgarians! :D
Don't want to give it independence as it's too close to my capital imho.

Our badboy is currently a pesky 45. Will have to work a bit harder to raise it again.

Turkey got some nice events now, one was a trader event in which I got 1000 gold, and then there was 2 army reformation events (or 2 reform events, and being the BB I took great army reform both times =p)
And there were several events changing culture and religion, which were nice.

But not of course in Bulgaria where you wanted it! :D
 
Great AAR! Keep up the good work! One prob, tho.
It seems that the AI is too weak. I've seen the human players get assloads of land and the AI just fumble around and lose it. Please tell me that I'm an idiot and that the AI is pretty good.:D

BTW Can you check your BB rating in the game?
 
great AAR, is the capital moving event only if you annex Byzantium, or can f.e. move your capital to Jerusalem, just to tease Christianity...;)
