i had probably the weirdes hundred years' war ever, as england again. (no pic sorry, game crashed for some reason).
In any case, I opted for historical generals, for some change I guess, its tough to work up the land tradition against superiour french troops with superiour king and generals. So I bode my time, fought an inconclusive war in which i trashed some french minors to oblivion in Aquitaine, and i got 50ducats from france, then i trounced scotland into a one province minor and produced an infantry army to control scottish territories.
I waited for Henry V and as was the case IRL, he rocked the socks so I immediately put him to command 12k cav with which he annihilated many french armies. I lost Aquitaine area since i was mainly fighting in Normandy. Then comes the shocker, France somehow got mil. access to burgundy, shit. They came to Pale of Calais with force, like 14K cav and 10K inf, needless to say calais was pretty undefended and fell quicky (shame that I didnt have any troops to scorch the area).
Anyway, suddenly burgundy changed its mind apparently, and denied mil. access for france through their lands, burgundy was neutral in this conflict, I had no allies at all, well portugal but they white peaced out soon. So the french couldnt move out, well I thereupon decided to seize the initiative and butcher all french forces in france while the royal french army was having a pick-nick in calais, I put my navy to blockade all ships to calais naturally (and raised naval maintenance accordingly)
in the end I proceeded to siege and capture pretty much the whole french mainland rather uncontested while henry the fifth actually had his "Agincourt" near Normandy area, with the cav stack against tired retreating frenchmen, in the end the warrior king had amassed a rather nice ca.50% land tradition all alone.
But then the game crashed and i was pissed because eu3 doesnt have a proper monthly autosave like in HoI2
