the rest of the world went off to fight some Turks in the middle of nowhere for no reason and got nothing.

Sounds like the rest of the world are all barbarians.
 
Baarbarians you mean? :p
 
Oops, left my spellcheck on. :p Or maybe just BARBARian? But that's a bit unclear.

Not much was going on around Bar now, as much of the region was too intimidated by Bar to even move. Further afield, however, there was some action:

Not that it will help us of course; Austria can easily beat Aquileia in a one-on-one fi-

Ah! Now there's something! If the Emperor is fighting Italy he can't possibly handle Bar! Now, who's his closest ally... (once again, forgot some vital pictures :eek:o) The Palatinate; almost a neighbour of ours. And we have no marriage with them, so it's not like we'll lose stability. All we have is Military Access... cancel that... Ah, and Bavaria is invading. Easy as pie.

*Declaration of War. Saxony, Anhalt, and Trollemia leap to the Palpatine's defense.*

Good thing none of them have military access! Now, BARge into Worms while Bavaria is laying siege elsewhere, and voilà!

Now pull our army north...

Shortly after we forced 31 ducats from Saxony. A minor gain, until you realise that we had something else in mind.

Worked a treat! Now we need no longer fear those BARBARians in BARgundy or France.

Oh, didn't see that pun coming :p

Nice update also. Palpatine!
