Savoy Update
May 1643 to September 1663
I was very unsure what i wanted to do during these 20 years, but shortly into it i was presented an opportunity, one that gave me the largest war i have yet to see, i waged a war against three countries on the Eastern European front.
These were my enemies.
My regiments consisted of 20,000 men each, and i believe i had 7, maybe 8...I sent 3 regiments to Bohemia, 1 to Poland and 4 to Hungry. Bohemia was the first country i wanted to defeat, and within 6 months, though they had 5 of my counties under control i had all but their capitol They agreed to my peace
The war, in its midst, as the Savoyardians fight the Poles and Hungarians, it appears the enemy is no match for the might of Savoy
Hungry submits to peace next, leaving the Poles the only enemy still standing
The Savoyardians grew sick of war and while the Poles still clung to half of their territories, the Average king of Vittirio Amedeo the II, who had just risen to power after his father died after 20 years of rule. Amedeo II allowed them peace.
V. Amedeo II grew tired of the Bavarians, centred in his land, so he decided to cleanse them from his Empire, and with his luck the Bavarians were allied with the Hungarians. War came, and Bavaria fell within days.
Hungry, still reeling from the previous war was in no match to fight against 100 thousand Savoyardians, their armies were crushed and their country overrun in a matter of months
Songhai had lasted too long, and had been too much of an annoyance, so they were cleansed
Brittany was foolish enough to declare war, but they were too much of a cost to conquer, so i allowed them a peace giving land to my vassals
Burgundy, 85k strong, majority calvary attacked saxony, and i came to its aid, i sent 100 thousand troops to the burgundian borders
The burgundians were formidable and the savoyardians lost two battles, the first in many years, yet within a year V. Amedeo II had gained 4 provinces. Another light peace, yet the BB was extremely high already.
The Viya Indians had 60 thousand standing at my Indian stronghold, but soon i was presented with a less strenuous option, the rich Swahili.
As our guns tore the natives to pieces, the Swahili submitted to my peace offering. The Savoyardians now gained a foothold for further conquests.
Another update comes tomorrow, so tune in, more conquests of the swahili, viyavanjar, and European nations
