I finally have my computer back from the store, and everything is working good now.
There were still a bunch of screenshots about which I hadn't written an updat so here it is.
If I can remember everything correctly.....
The Palatine Succession war and our second Vassal
I have a free advisor slot and Musa Kemal is available, a little free-minting is never bad.
So I hire this guy.
Than, Austria gets into a succesion war about the palatinate. The war is against Bohemia,
the Teutonic Order and Milan. Off course Poland joins in with Austria.
The other allies are Baden, Thuringia and Ferrara.
A little something about the war: Since I had to defend myself against TO, I can't attack Bohemia.
You can see how effective my Cavalry Corps is becoming. Bohemia is beaten quickly by Austria and
the german minors. Austria becomes the master in a personal union with the palatinate.
Next, something very unexpected happens, Poland is chosen as the next Holy Roman Emperor.
I Quickly check how this could happen and see the picture below. The last HRE has died and
a regency council is now ruling there. Therefore the electors are very divided, and only one vote (Austria)
was enough to make me emperor. This gives Poland 50k extra manpower (which I didn't really need atm,
since my 15k was more than enough). Also we have to defend the states of the Empire, which could give us some free wars.
And the emperor won't intervene against us, since we're the emperor.
I decide it's time to defeat the Teutonic Order and release Pskov. I notice that they're guaranteing (don't believe this is the correct word)
Luneburg. But my relations with Luneburg are too good, so I send them an insult to decrease relations. A month later, I declare war
on Luneburg, And all these german states join them, Switserland becomes the leader of their alliance. My allies also join me.\
The war against the order is easy, as Lithuania helps me defeat them, I make the following peace-deal: cede wenden, renounce your claims on my land,
release pskov and give me 50 ducats. They accept, but I'm still in a war with some german minors. Austria closes a peace with Switserland for one of their two provinces.
Right away I ask Pskov to become my vassal, and they accept the first time!
I just looked it up, but my relations with Lithuania aren't really good, they're at 24, so I have to increase them. Or I might be in danger of losing my personal Union with them.
Teaser for my next AAR: religion will play a big part in this game....
