Finnaly the 15th century comes to an end. I always find myself hating the 1399-1499 period for some reason. However you have undeniably made them seem amazing.
Thank you, that's actually really helpful to see. I think where I went wrong was putting my energies into trade and war with France, and not nearly enough into infrastructure. I slowly lost my ability to compete. It's probably worth another shot with a more balanced approach.
Also MMU's policy against subsidies has little historical context--England's shift during the 7 Years War was marked by a switch from giving the Russians subsidies to giving the Prussians subsidies. Considering that Russia routinely has the largest army in the world in any EU3 game I've played, I couldn't see the engine allowing England to give Russia any money, what so ever!
I am just catching up with this AAR after a while and I'm at the point where Austria is broken, and it strangly reminds me of on of my Magni Mundi games. I (Tuetonic Order), Austria, and Russia had a three-way allience when Russia attacked Crimea and those other Steppe Hordes. I didn't send anything because I had just finished beating up Poland, but Austria and its entire army marched out onto the steppe. While on campaign the Reformation struck (most of Upper, Lower Austria, and Styria all went protestent), the Austrian Emperor died along with most of the Army in Russia, and a huge rebellion flared up at home. Austria was broken and became a republic (not sure which kind), and Protestent. A few years later Austria reconverts to Catholism and completly roots out Protestism. Has that ever happned in one of your games?
I for one would think it might be better to just save-edit move the Ottoman capital to Asia Minor just this once. unless the long wait on edirne is almost up already anyway...
As far as your historical British Empire goes, what will you do about France, and Greece if you manage to inherit? Will you simply give up your land, even if no enemy manages to take it from you?

It can't be for keeping promises, but some other virtues, that your friends and family love you.First let me say sorry everyone, I know I'm late with the update. Big surprise. There was too much to write about and it became gargantuan. (My apologies to those of you who don't like the huge updates). I will have it up before Friday night.

Thanks for the update!
Looking forward to the restoration of the Byzantine empire, especially if you inherit... tha owuld make for a fascinating historical diversion...
Yes, this is a direct homage to one of the closing scenes of The Tudors. Because it was awesome. And every king should go out like that.
I knew that the last words of William were familiar to me...
... I think the current insurgency against Griffin rule isn't going to make it. For one it is led by Swedes who seek Swedish supremacy inside the union, but its base of support is apparently southern Norway. If the pretender Svante is so confused, I think wonderful Copenhagen has very little to fear ^^
Hopefully that higher Admin on Henry's part will get your AE back up to a good point. It'd be nice if you could get to 'Good' in time for the Formalization of Weights, Scales and Measurements, just for the huge boon it'd bring to the economy.
It also looks like we'll be getting and Eliza from a Henry much sooner than how it happened in history. Tell me, does this Elizabeth mirror or historical namesake, or is she a pale imitation to the Virgin Queen?
...and also for the settlement of the new world

About how long until colonisation gets under way?
What happened to Wallachias war against Scandinavia?
How nice to see a reverse Brunkeberg. I hope Sture got his head chopped off and a pike plunged into it. However, I think the current insurgency against Griffin rule isn't going to make it.

Well if history has taught us anything it is that Swedes always defeat Danes.
Go easy now, we're all friends here.
