Good news everybody! France has it's back turned and we can start going Continental!
My guess would be France declared war on Castille, Gascony refused to join and thus broke their alliance leaving the field open for England to re-annex them.
Let me see here... Castille blockading a French port, English soldiers laying siege to Armagnac territory, the Portuguese and English Royal Navy blockading the pretender Duke of Gascony's ports? Heh, looks like while you were away, the French tried to play with the Castillians.

What I find odd in the teaser pic is that the French are nowhere in sight. Where have they gone? You can't have wiped them out. So...?

May God glorify England for she has revenged France. I guess this means you made a peace deal with the Ottomans. What are your plans though for England and her future glory? Avenge Spain through colonial warfare? Make Greece become English?
Something occurred to me related to the Reformation right around the corner. Since RL Anglicanism was a fairly moderate protestant movement (especially at first) how would it be in the context of an England controlling Greece. In particular, the parallels between Imperial Orthodoxy and Anglicanism with respect to secular authority over the Church line right up. Rejection of Papal supremacy is also similar. Both maintain the sacraments (though for Orthodoxy they are different from Catholicism to start with, and for Anglicanism some tweaks were made). The biggest differences as far as I can tell are: 1) that Anglicanism retained a real hierarchy for bishops (much looser in Orthodoxy), 2) Monasteries remained integral in Orthodoxy while disbanding them was among the defining characteristics of Anglicanism (I am not aware of non-monastic church entities owning land in Orthodoxy), 3) A bunch of important but likely reconcilable theological issues (nature of the Trinity, Heaven, Hell, Purgatory and methods of Revelation being among the most difficult). I assume you've already played past this point, but if you haven't already, you may want to incorporate some interaction between the Reformation and Byzantium (or just wrap it in the narrative somehow).
Can you recommend a good nation to play as for a first full length game? I was playing Austria which was incredibly hard, in my opinion, and managed to play about 120 years but then I lost my save file. I am currently playing as the Ottoman Empire, which seems easier, but I have a feeling that when Russia forms, as it frequently seems to in this mod, I will have a hard time. Any suggestions?
waiting for thursday with great expectation; have read through this thing three times like a story book; the combination of great writing tied into a game I am thouroughly addicted to is very hard to resist
