From my latest Vijayanagar game in MMG 1.7whatever. Loaded up England to take a gander at how Europe was doing, and a few unusual things caught my eye;
Note that not only did England manage somehow to escape the HYW unscathed but has actually managed to aquire Vlaandareen and a personal union with France. Looking at what happened to Burgundy I suspect that that happened pretty soon after the end of the HYW. Holland's appeared of its own accord and Burgundy's capital has moved to Brabant of all places. Note that Austria owns Avignon, Ancona and Romagna. They also used to own Roma (the Papal State eventually reappeared in Franche-Comte. As the vassal of Austria. Oh, the craziness.
Muscovy; bigger than god and knocking on the door of the HRE. Poland and Lithuania are all but footnotes at this point.
Ottoman Empire getting gang-raped by *deep breath* Austria, Muscovy, Georgia (note size), Venice, Qara Koyunlu and the Livonian Order (owning Alexandria, I shit you not). This isn't entirely suprising, it's probably BB wars. What is suprising is that they're doing so badly and
that the Austria-Ottoman war has been going on for TWENTY YEARS. See those four provinces Austria has south and east of Krain? The Long Wait. I've never seen the AI get provinces from the long wait before. But this is even more special; first Austria got Croatia from the event. Then Muscovy settled with the OE for the lands it has there, which gave Constantinople back to Ottoman control. The Austrians promply seized it
and are coming up on the point where they will get that
from the long wait.
Oh, and to reiterate; the Livonian Order OWN ALEXANDRIA. O_O. The Knights controlled quite a swathe for a while as well, but they settled for a white peace.
Amusingly, all those Ottoman provinces cut off from the capital by Dulkandir are suffering from the "overseas possession" modifier. Because they're in Africa, and Constantinople isn't. *facepalm*
