Winner: 2008 Fourth Quarter AARland Choice Award for Favorite Europa Universalis III Comedy After Action Report!
(Cumbersome titles, I know)
Welcome as the saga of the Crovans continues on into EUIII. It is 1453. Europe lies broken, ripped asunder, poverty striken and politically fragmented, largely because of the Crovan family's impact on history. The Crovans have gone from a small-time family with big-time dreams to masters of a massive continent spanning empire.
Only Bohemia, Milan and Great Lithuania pose a real threat to the Crovan Dynasty. Will they overrun the world? Will they be crushed? Will they become a middling power saddled with a massive national debt and crushing inflation?
Only time will tell as the Adventures of the Crovan Clan moves into the EUIII Universe.
