A Dream of Lotharingia
Country: Burgundy
Starting Point: 1399
Mod: Death & Taxes
I'm going to attempt this AAR lark with my favourite country in a brand-new mod (to me at least) - Lukew's Death & Taxes (version 3.3). All settings are normal, though the war aggression should have been set to Low and will be from the start of the Reformation.
I plan to expand only through cores within the Empire and only hold Lotharingian provinces directly. I do not intend to become Emperor, given that I need Imperial support to claim the crown of Lotharingia, and seeing as Philippe II was the son, brother and uncle to three French kings, I do not plan to dismember France any more than is necessary to ensure Burgundian survival.
Please feel free to give advice, but at time of writing, I've already played through the 15th Century and I'm just about to face the horrors of the Reformation! Please bear with me if the placement or quality of the screenshots are crap, as there's only so much I can do with MS Paint and Photo-Resizer.
