It'll be a LONG time before I can create or usurp one, that's for sure! And if I take one in war I'll have to be careful as I can't have their vassals tagging along...General Guisan said:

Now anonymous4401 has "competition" from the Diocese of Passau, will he crack under the strain? Will he complete his conquest of all the provinces alphabetically before the 39 Ps are conquered?
Nah! anonymous4401 will still be going as the last embers of matter fall into the blackhole at the end of the universe. His last words will be "We was robbed!".
Three provinces in one go - this will be as good as it gets for the Hapsburgs.

Damn. People should also get awards for reading this beast from start to finish.
Wow. That took a LOOONG time to read from start to finish. Especially if one reads all the comments which surmounts to more then 1500 posts! And that is just what I did. It was a really fun read as well, I hope this will keep coming.
And, as much as I admire this AAR anon, I can't help but noticing the steady decline of humour in each update. Not the quality of it but rather the amount. Well, it might be just me who's tired.
(And to keep up a good tradition):
Real Men Can Convince Any Liege Of Their Trustworthyness Even Though They Have Betrayed, Backstabbed, Mutinied, And Rebelled Every Single Previous Liege.

If one really reads what anonymous writes, he hints, or states openly, from time to time that he has not aimed to be homourus since the first couple of updates, if even then. I have to agree with him, it's a top notch gameplay AAR, but not much else.Neslepaks said:
Just Giving It Away.
This is the province of Almansa. It's being besieged right now but I can tell you that it's poor and stuff.
This is the Sheik of Almansa. Well he's actually the Sheik of two provinces in Sicily first before Almansa. Which is smart of him. He's also the brother of that triple-A'd Emir of Badajoz Johann took Alcantara from a while back. Small world!
And since Alania has been nothing but a pain that has completely failed to live up to its high base income I hand it off to the very rich son of Ernst von Habsburg instead. Maybe since he's so rich he can use the money to make it worth something! Or just sit on it and not build improvements at all for some reason. You know, one of those.
Almansa on the other hand goes to the very able Marshal of Agen. Well he isn't the Marshal of Agen anymore.
Oh and Almeria just offered me this. How convenient.
And the whole 'having too much money' problem rears its ugly head. Granted it doesn't sound like a very big problem. But I've tempbuilt every expensive building in every demesne province in the land and I still have too much money, so I'm going to start giving it away to disloyal counts.
Man why do AI counts love handing off provinces to female courtiers?
Oh and I ran out of disloyal counts so I gave some money to the King of Germany. Hey, it's better than the Badajozs getting their hands on it!
There. I'm offering you *all* of my money. Wink. Wait I didn't mean to type that out lou-
Aww.
Well it's not like those dumb Bajadozs could actually hurt me or anything. In fact considering their lands consists purely of poor provinces in Spain I could be at war with them in perpetuity and it won't matter! Wait actually they have Sicilian provinces and provinces in North Africa as well. Hmm. Well whatever. Now comes the moment you've all been waiting for . . . in the next exciting episode of Real Men Do It Alphabetically, an AARgau!

ZyrianeThis is the province of Almansa. It's being besieged right now but I can tell you that it's poor and stuff.
This is the Sheik of Almansa. Well he's actually the Sheik of two provinces in Sicily first before Almansa. Which is smart of him. He's also the brother of that triple-A'd Emir of Badajoz Johann took Alcantara from a while back. Small world!
And since Alania has been nothing but a pain that has completely failed to live up to its high base income I hand it off to the very rich son of Ernst von Habsburg instead. Maybe since he's so rich he can use the money to make it worth something! Or just sit on it and not build improvements at all for some reason. You know, one of those.
Almansa on the other hand goes to the very able Marshal of Agen. Well he isn't the Marshal of Agen anymore.
Oh and Almeria just offered me this. How convenient.

Wait actually they have Sicilian provinces and provinces in North Africa as well. Hmm. Well whatever. Now comes the moment you've all been waiting for . . . in the next exciting episode of Real Men Do It Alphabetically, an AARgau!
Well how convinient, a new update just 1½ after I read through the whole thing. At this pace you'll be done in no time!
As for the humour part; I sort of miss the blatant sarcasm of the earlier updates, but the overall tone is so great in itself (and the shere madness of the whole A-Z thing) that I'll be following this to the very end.

Off the Altmark.
This is the province of Altmark. It used to be ruled by Catholic Germans but is now ruled by a Pagan Western SlaV, and a female at that!
But fear not, Altmarks! I shall save you from this indignity. Once I build my treasury up from giving it all away to the Badajozs for peace.
As Aleppo was outshined (outshone?) by Algeciras, I hand it off to Bishop Eberhard. By the way this is how I discovered that giving provinces to already existing Bishoprics does not give you the piety boost.
I give Almeria to some dour-looking German court immigrant. There is no province called 'Saarbrücken' in CK though so I don't know where he would be 'von' of.
After occupying every English demesne province in Great Britain save Berwick, I had a warscore of 160. This was apparently only enough to get the King of England to give up his claims on Adrianopolis for around 100 warscore, as he rejected all my other offers to renounce the claims he got on every single one of my provinces because I refused to raise regiments for him.
Markward is a funny name.
Doo dee doo, marrying off the daughter of my favorite marshal to some guy who just asked...
And my Agen regiment arrived! Time to take Altmark.
By the way that -17.83 turned out to be a typo. It certainly did NOT cost me that little! In fact it cost me 303 ducats.
And Altmark's done.
And that was Altmark I guess. Stay tuned for the next exciting tale in the next exciting episode of Real Men Do It Alphabetically, an AARgau!

ZyrianeThis is the province of Altmark. It used to be ruled by Catholic Germans but is now ruled by a Pagan Western SlaV, and a female at that!
But fear not, Altmarks! I shall save you from this indignity. Once I build my treasury up from giving it all away to the Badajozs for peace.
As Aleppo was outshined (outshone?) by Algeciras, I hand it off to Bishop Eberhard. By the way this is how I discovered that giving provinces to already existing Bishoprics does not give you the piety boost.
I give Almeria to some dour-looking German court immigrant. There is no province called 'Saarbrücken' in CK though so I don't know where he would be 'von' of.
After occupying every English demesne province in Great Britain save Berwick, I had a warscore of 160. This was apparently only enough to get the King of England to give up his claims on Adrianopolis for around 100 warscore, as he rejected all my other offers to renounce the claims he got on every single one of my provinces because I refused to raise regiments for him.
Markward is a funny name.
Doo dee doo, marrying off the daughter of my favorite marshal to some guy who just asked...
And my Agen regiment arrived! Time to take Altmark.
By the way that -17.83 turned out to be a typo. It certainly did NOT cost me that little! In fact it cost me 303 ducats.
And Altmark's done.
And that was Altmark I guess. Stay tuned for the next exciting tale in the next exciting episode of Real Men Do It Alphabetically, an AARgau!
You saved a province from a Western Slavic Pagan Female...
You should have married her instead. That's like the Dark Age version of a Russian mail order bride.

Eye of the Tiger.
This is the province of Amida.
This is the Sheik of Amida, who is a direct vassal of the Sultan of Seljuk Turks. Despite being Rebellious, he still loves the Sultan to an unhealthy degree.
I send the Bishop I bought last update to be the Bishop of Altmark. I hope he enjoys spending the rest of his life surrounded by a ring of pagans.
Pagans that would be a complete pushover, once again having given me 500 ducats at my request.
My poor-province Counts lack the initiative to deal with their Rebels so I have to do it myself.
And let us check on the Arborea branch of the von Habsburg family! Here we can see that Werner son of Stefan has died, leaving behind nine-year-old Ludwig, who has taken after his grandfather well, being at war with his former liege the King of Germany and all!
Doot de doot giving away core provinces to women courtiers with incongruous last names
In preparation for that whole Seljuk Turk thing.
Preparing in a more direct way, too.
And wow. The Seljuks must be really tired with the whole endless wars against the nations of Christendom thing.
Are you ready for Round 2 of Johann v. The Seljuk Turks? Well? Are you!? I certainly am, as has been evidenced in this update by the preparation of many things! I'm not even sure if that previous sentence makes sense but I don't care! A von Habsburg comes of age and a kingdom is unified in the next thrilling episode of Real Men Do It Alphabetically, an AARgau!

Real Men have near numerical equality with the Real Seljuks. This is going to be Really Interesting. The Duchy of Abydos is still a vassal of the Germans, isn't it? How considerate of the Real men to bring along their good lord and his hordes?
And Real Men have made Real Seljuks into an endangered species.Kurt_Steiner said:Real Seljuks Are Never Tired
