The King of Austria repays our goodwill with yet more treason. I think when this is over his punishment must be more severe.
Yes, the king of Austria has at every turn been at odds with the Bohemian Crown forgoing centuries of corporation. Justice will be served.
Amazing how great a continuity there is with, say, diplomatic frameworks of the previous two centuries. Nothing that’s going on feels remotely applicable to our own 19th century. It’s fascinating how divergent (hoho) this alt-history manages to be. Feels properly uncanny rather than just a differently drawn map.
Anyway, this latest war over essentially feudal relations does not promise any imminent end to central Europe’s troubles. Surely the other powers can’t be looking too kindly on Bohemia’s constant meddling?
It is indeed a fine work creating 4 centuries of alternate history and making it coherent but still plausible. The most interesting thing is that the various sources for the alt-history background differ somewhat from another with dates etc. They don't differ a lot but it is enough to give impression of being an actual contemporary discourse in our times about when things really happened.
Bohemia has already defeated the Scandinavians and Burgundians in the field decisively while maintaining the strength of their own armies, the only other power that could attempt any interference would be the Dual Monarchy but they have been a (alt-history, plot wise and in-game) ally of Bohemia (though never called to war but kept as a final resort if the war against other powers failed). Otherwise all of Muscovy, The Ottomans (Sublime Porte) and the great powers of Iberia would all be to distant or distracted by their own internal/external problems to interfere at this point in time. Thing will of course change in the future; I do believe this development mirrors the forming of Germany in our own days as there were no foreign intervention in the unification of Germany through the three wars (Danish-German war, Austrian-Prussian war and the French-German war) and Germany were only faced with foreign opposition form more than one power after its unification and subsequent rise of power that threatened enough of the other powers.
So for now, the unification of the HRE is still only a problem to the countries that border it and is really not seen as a big event to the powers beyond until it actually happens and that they then realise what had actually transpired in Germany and the gravity of their ignorance.
