A veeeery blooody civil war! :rofl:
Amob_m_s said:Wow. I NEVER imagined my self saying this: go France!
Nice update, interesting situation there with a centralized (relatively) empire including France.
And Teutons in America?
thanks. I hope I don't dissapoint.Prinz Wilhelm said:Good update rcduggan! The monastic state colonizing America will be very cool.
I'll see what I can do.Murmurandus said:Now I really want some arty pics of that last war...

yeah, the Order is still subservient to the Holy Roman Empire, they are probably the state with the most freedom though, only having to answer to the emperor himself, no-one in between. this is why they were allowed to stay neutral in the Navarre War.Polykrates said:Actually monastic orders are and were quite capable of accepting a higher authority (even out of their own ranks), which had a strange/funny revival in the 1960s 'space era', when experts proposed using priests or monastic orders to settle space colonies, because of decreased 'revolt risk'. But we'll eventually see what kind of furure rcduggan has envisaged for the order.
As always a very interesting (and suspenseful update). Judging from my experience with EU 2/3 the AI must really have pulled off some crazy manouvers in this massive conflict.
Btw Martin Luther died in 1546, so he hasn't that many 'dacades later' left after 1525 to shatter the unity of the HRE.
now, I'm not one to point out spelling / grammatical errors () but "promise me" sounds weird... "trust me" sounds more correct I think, but I'm just being picky.Prinz Wilhelm said:Promise me, you never do that!
oh no!orlanth2000 said:Damn I missed the update for 2 full days
Did we just see the start of the German invasion of the spanish beaches
Ok, I need more sleep judging from the quallity of my jokes.
I liked the update, but it might just have benefited from a map.

thanks though.
rcduggan said:a map of Europe?
Prinz Wilhelm said:Hey, I'm not a native english speaker, and I am under the age of fourteen so..
And yeah, it sounds a little weird. I thought Promise as in the swedish word. But now when I think, that sounds weird too! :wacko:
political situation and alliances, okay... I'll get on those. it might take a few days to get them all pretty-looking though.orlanth2000 said:Yes, after the last wars, maybe one showing the alliances in effect, for now I guess they will change when Luther start nailing lists to doors
I'll get right on it.nalivayko said:I too shall second the call for a map, the last map of Europe you had was absolutely marvelous, but it was such a long time ago.
Of course, if there was a choice, I'd love to see the lands of the Monastic State in America... when it happens, of course. I wonder which part of Americas you will choose for colonization or conquest (I guess it is easier to steal the colonies rather than build them).
rcduggan said:by the way, does anyone remember: did I ever post the thing about a grand master reading about Atlantis in Alexandria? I wrote it a while back, but not sure if I posted it here.

Ah, okay, I wasn't sure.Prinz Wilhelm said:
I don't think you've posted something like that, unless my memory fails me.
I guess I should then.Polykrates said:You mentioned Atlantis as the name in your timeframe for the continent(s) we know as America(s), but you never explained where that naming came from IIRC.
no, I don't think I posted it.orlanth2000 said:No, we did get the storry of the pox (As far as I recall, but it might have been something else) making it across but not anything else, or else it must have been a very short note in the middle of an action piece
for once the Order is at peace. of course, that doesn't mean Europe is.coz1 said:Just caught the latest and though peaceful for you, a wild ride for everyone else. Good idea to stay neutral and let them fight it out. I wonder if you'll ever see need to face off against the Spanish. Now might be the time for it while they are weakened.
And yes, a map would be great if you get a chance. Sounds like an interesting 16th century Europe.
