Great, as usual! 
Don't allow any of the states unite Russia - it would be better not to have such a large thorn in your side. In this way, it seems that you are rather safe, having many quarrelling states to the East...
What (and when) will come next?

Nah! Let Russia unify, much more chances for a bit of fun in the East!
Good to see you updating again TM! I'm still in complete awe over your maps!

Yeah! It's running again!
And Russia was quite messy during the 11th - 14th centuries :wacko:

REQUEST:
Could you start putting links down for the acual AAR w/o the spam? Cause reading 48 pages of pure spam in one sitting will burn-out my retinas and blind me.

Dude. Your maps are epic. How do you make those, honestly?
Marvellous update, keep up the good work.

Excellent AAR, it's really impressive.
I agree with Snugglie, your maps are incredible . ¿How do you make them?

Finally, an update, and it looks like a good one too. Something big is hopefully going to happen in Russia, one way or another... would be a shame if the country remained divided (if only because otherwise it'd be too easy for you ).

Yay, it's back!!! And with the same thrashingmad attention to detail and quality. Great job tm!
OFAB - Thank you - main story will continue after 3-4 updates, once I finish this detailed world overview. Indeed, I can`t wait for Vicky period to begin, but before that we will have protestantism, religious wars, birth of absolute monarchies and/or revolutions. I`m curious what kind of country Poland is going to be at the end EU3 period.
RGB - Thank you sir. Well, Tver have advantage of Despoic Monarchy (big badboy max limit, and thus better foreign tolerance for conquests) as well as support of Metropolitan of Rus` in liberating Russians under tatar rule (I gave them Deus Vult national idea to reflect this - permanent casus beli against countries with different religion). On the other hand Novgorod have enormous economical advantage thanks to center of trade. It`ll be interesting to watch conflict over Russia, I have no idea who is going to win at this point. Cumans - hehe good guess, XVIIth century in eastern Europe without cossacks wouldn`t be fun. As for Bolgars - they have big territory, but most of it is sparsely populated. They can be dangerous early in the game, before technological east-west disproportion begins to hit them.
Earl Uhtred - thank you - indeed CK games can be weird, glad to hear that I managed to put some sense into it.
Trondheim - Thanks. Yep - so far they are quite equally balanced, but sooner or later Bolgar and Horde will began to stay behind in technology, unless they`ll manage to westernize somehow (small chances for that).
Alojzy - Dzięki. Yes I`ll be using Magna Mundi Gold, but i`ll have to review all events and delete some of them (castille-aragon, ottoman, austria-hungary, early colonization etc.) I`m also not sure how HRE would work, since there is big kingdom of Germany there, title separate from imperial one. But MMG is a must - far superior to vanilla.
Emperor_krk - Thanks. Well, I probably won`t interfere because I would potentially gain only provinces with different religion and culture plus some badboy - while playing MMG mod this can bring more bad than good. Besides there is still lot of independent Polish duchies to reclaim, and since i`m roleplaying monarchs, I won`t play with any long term strategies or predictions as I normally do.
Fijj - Well, there`s complete table of contents with links to each chapter in opening post.
Snugglie, Spencer_123 - Cheers. Map is basically made from blank EU3 map I made with some additions in Photoshop like better looking borders, and old paper texture.
Judas Maccabeus - Thanks - Russia will probably be united, I gave Novgorod and Tver cores on each other plus Yaroslav and Tver, just like it was in EU2 1419 scenario. We`ll see.
Specialist290, canonized, Grubnessul, Nikolai, Ringelnatz, English Patriot, Ahura Mazda, VILenin, Elecwaves, grayghost - thank you guys
New update - overview/history of Balkans - will be most likely finished on Sunday. Then only:
- Greece/Asia Minor
- Middle East
- Poland/Lithuania
- General European overview (religions, economy and such stuff)
, and actual game will continue. I also consider adding small narrative bits, but don`t be afraid - they will be short and infrequent, just for flavor - I don`t want to scare you off.
BTW. AAR just hit 100,000 views.

Congratulations! A good number to celebrate.
A great landmark indeed! I look forward to the upcoming sections, both the overview the rest of Eastern Europe and the Middle East and your forray into narrative writing.

This AAR is the best AAR ever in my book. I love the way you write it and it is impossible to copy your style.
I think I remember seeing a post when somebody congratulated you on reaching 10'000 views - and that wasn't very long ago! Congratulations on the 100'000 - I can only dream of ever achieving this .
