Yes, it's amazing how often intense drilling results in pregnancy. HIYO!

Cracking update, and a smashing AAR in general - it's good to see someone making something of the tiny countries I'm always too scared to play.
A wise move on Erich's part to adopt Military Drill as a national idea, it should prove rather handy, especially with Bavaria now as an ally. As for the decadence, it seems as if a war is required to get the lazy curs fit once more and allow for Brunswick's militarily drilled army to be employed.
Alliance with Bavaria is good. Bad news for the expansionist and vulgar Brandenburgers. I want to see that well drilled army in action. I hope the Bavarians aren't thinking about fighting the Austrians.
It was impressive how fast you pulled to free trade.
A Bavarian entente could quickly turn sour...unlike Brunswick's trading prowess
I fell out of my chair laughing when I saw this.
It's the time
Is that Hungry Hungary in Friuli? Its shape must be ugly...
I like how you RP to your king's stats.
A noble republic would be a gentlemanly sort of thing to do. the rulers would be a very exclusive club. A core on Bavaria could prove useful. Meantime Heinrich III could do with a wife.
Wow, he certainly showed them. Now to see if his lack of skill in battle and domestically will come back to haunt him.
Maybe von der Marks are bored with the classic regnal numbers? IMHO it would greatly improve the prestige of the nation if the following Heinrich was Heinrich V and so on...
It is not known why he chose to be the third when the previous Heinrich had been the first, but no-one questioned his decision.
Quite right too. Such questions would be impolite and entirely unbefitting of a gentleman! Good to see that even if Heinrich's command of numeracy is questionable, his silver tongued diplomatic ability is without doubt.
You could try a republic, no more regencies. Plus you can assume the role of liberator of poor peasants. No more on slave-master, but a bunch of them.
henrich the can't count sure did well with the vassalization but we'll see what happens when turmoil roils the central european scene
Viva la Germany ?
