Not soon after I started again, Scotland called me to war. I didn't particularly feel like breaking the alliance, so I joined in anyway.
And even with this hit in stability, I decided to take another one rather than gain inflation. I can recover from stability hits...inflation increase? Not so likely.
I didn't really feel like fighting Castille, so I declared white peace with them. It was better than being stuck in a long war.
Surprisingly enough, land tech increased. Explanation to this sudden change later. (but I think the more experienced of you can figure it out)
With Novgorod already tangled with Finland and Tver, and with Novgorod occupied by Tverian soldiers, I decided to take Estland while I could.
Pommerania of course came for a second time, but with the Hansa backing me up, I didn't worry too much about them.
The Scots got some new land courtesy of Castille.
And Novgorod took a part of Finland, vassalizing them.
With Estland taken and nothing else I felt like doing, Novgorod quickly accepted my offer of peace.
Meanwhile, I got this event. Legitimacy losses are easy to recover. Prestige losses? Not so much.
Land tech went up again to 13. Curious about this, I checked my tech screen. I'm getting a 64+ bonus just from having the English as a neighbor!
Denmark got this in 1507. I don't think they converted to Protestant, so it must be a reactionary response to Protestantism.
The Reformation started in 1507 as well, in Lorraine. (Fun fact: they were Protestant before)
Then my theologian died. Who wants to bet the guy replacing him is gonna die too?
I got a rude surprise when I checked the DoW screen for Prussia to find that The Hansa was no longer my ally, but for some reason was still allied to Prussia, even though we were both Catholic and the Hansa was Protestant.
England sent me an insult. Not too sure why.
A saint! I was more than happy to get the gain in stability.
With government tech level 11 came a new national idea. What else than Quest for the New World?
Then my Master of Mint died. I replaced him with a slightly less capable (but still useful!) master of mint.
Then I got probably one of the less useful events.
The World, December 10th, 1508
