take your time with the update
 
Really a great AAR. I am playing Brandenburg myself at the moment, but not as an early Germany, more a moderate uniting Germany and spreading protestatism game. I never though it would be possible to force convert Austria, but after I read this AAR I just done it. :D Thank you!
 
Grundius, Duke and stynlan: before I answere three times with the same scentence lets do this in one ;)
"they never stood a chance" ;)

Battle Bunny: Who needs luck when he has the German army behind him? ;)

rcduggan: Thanks, but its nothing serious, just a painful contusion of three of my fingers.

Dark Scipio: I'm glad I could help :D
But why just spread a little protestantism if you could do it big times ;)


Part thirtythree

After the war Emperor Georg wanted to deal with his untrusty ally Denmark. A war wasn’t an Option though, as Denmark was in Germany’s alliance, a Vassal and gave millitary access to Germany. To declare war against Denmark would cause a unbelievable unrest in Germany. So it had to be done peaceful.
Unfortunatly Sweden intervened when it came clear what Germany planed. It looked like Georg would never get rid of Denmark, when a bright idea came to his mind.

Roughly a year later Germany could invite Tuscany into its alliance.

For the next years Germany concentrated on building up its colonial empire and soon grew to the largest colonial power in North America.
In 1632, after a long and very successfull millitary career, Pappenheim resigned from services and lived the rest of his long life as governor of Carolina.

Luckily a able successor, Sachse-Lauenburg was found. He was not as good as Pappenheim, but still his skills were very impressive.

Whither now Caesar?
 
And they were put to a good use at once, when he beat some Prussian rebells with ease.

Five months later news reached Berlin that many of the conversions in Italy failed. Istria, Emilia, Lyonnaise and Piemonte rebelled, while only Provence succeeded.
The Ottoman Empire, the only nation which was not at war with Germany in the last “round” of wars, misjudged the situation in Germany as weakness and declared war.

It seemed that Saches-Lauenburg would be able to put his skills to a real test earlier than expected.



One or two notes:
I don't know how often I will be able to update when my Collectors Edition EUIII arrives... I hope it will not be to much time between my updates ;)
Oh, and I hope you don't mind I put my own event in...
 
BTW, regarding EUIII, gameplay.co.uk is shipping on second feb, as according to the official paradox dates. One thing :

Is your empire on the brink of collapse, so only sheer force is keeping it together?

did the last post answer your question? ;)
Oh I think so :)
 
Hurra! War with the Ottomans. Your aim should be now less then freeing whole europe from the turkish invaders. And who nice would be to have some new vassals (Greece/Alabania/Bulgaria ...). ;)
 
By this time, you should be able to crush the Ottomans with relative ease. Push them back to Anatolia, I say!
