Nicely done, I think it great that the Archbishopric of Alsace has vassalised the Pope. Few like their boss after all...
I hadn't quite grasped the scale of the Archbishop's ambitions! Strasbourg as the new Rome seems a bit of a stretch, but I suppose you could paint it as rescuing the papacy from the unruly Roman mob.
Feedback :
i'm somewhat busy right now , maybe this is taking too long , i'll try to finish faster before divine wind ^^
ERTURKHAN : for the moment they are still my friend
Range : thanks
FinnishFish : profit is always nice , and i'm doing great at the moment
ERTURKHAN : vassalization maybe? it's nicer , but i don't exploit vassal hordes for this game
morningSIDEr : true , but the Pope has some tricks in his sleeves
Dewirix : that's the plan , the empire is neither holy nor german , and the papacy soes not belong to Rome
chapter XI : messing with the empire
we were quite surprised to see that both our allies answered our call of war , but they were not involved it the war.
Declaring War on Venice instead of Ansbach would make that war free from the interference from the emperor , but at the cost of 6 additionnal infamy (2 from the DoW and 4 from tht i don't use my subjugation against Ansbach , though i still have the -2 infamy reward from the mission)
our Fleet is sent to the Adriatic sea , and Venice takes the bait , allowing our troops to cross from Treviso , and our fleet fled as soon as the army crossed the enemy lines ... well they had 15 galleys , but their army was a pushover , and after one assault the town surrendered , and was vassalized as well as Ansbach.
in 1487 we got some cowards problem in the army , that is rather strange as a generation hasn't the time to come as we still have truces running with 10 other nations
well , the stability isn't really a problem for a huge trading nation , so we purge them!In 1489 , the Netherlands got excommunicated , after a request from a cardinal located in Trier ... the emperor isn't frequentable , and we start to prepare our action gaainst him.
waiting for the good occasion , we got our diplomacy recognized again , reducing the infamy by 3 , nice boost for our traders.
In 1492 , we integrate Trier into the realm and are asked to reclaim Parma , on which we got a border dispute when it was occupied by the Ottomans, who freed Genoa and Mantua trom Milan , nice attention from them , though we would prefer to see them annexing some land to take it back from heathens for added prestige!
Military access was agreed with the Duke of Savoyand ruler of Genoa and war was declared on Milan , who had to cede Parma , and Bern to make a land route to our Italian possessions. We could have won this alone , but the french and bavarian intervention caused the war to finish quickly , about six months in total!
In 1493 Austria inherited Transylvania and became a greta eastern power , but we have otherthings to do at the moment than take care of them
the Milanese marine was capturated by ours , but they only had two galleys so this is of little consequence on the naval forces , except that sprouted the idea of privateers in Alsace.
the 1st of March , 1493 we sent a message to the Emperor that we would no longer be or par with him , and that our ways would split from now on , Alsace would be the forst nation to leave the empire
Good stuff, although it is a slightly risky move leaving the Empire, but hopefully it can pay off. Still it leaves you with a more free hand now. The lands of the Empire shall soon become your own I am sure!
Awesome finally throwing off the shackles of the weak and useless empire and making your own future. Planning on getting the same provinces as the Kingdom of Middle francia?

You've joined up your Italian provinces with Alsace proper? Excellent work.
I take it Alsace as an archbishopric has no chance of actually becoming Emperor itself. If so, then leaving the Empire isn't that much of a problem. Does it mean you don't get additional infamy for occupying uncored Imperial provinces?

How are you not getting the "unlawful imperial territory" to your infamy?
Did you mod that out?

I like the way you are going about this. Nice steady pace and good ideas for linking up the provinces, very strong and good for roleplay. Please keep posting. I know it is easy to get side tracked and stop.
