Just a little info about the author, I am a Black, 15 year old high
school student, live in Florida, got about 2 weeks left of school,
looking forward to summer, and alot of relaxing, specially with EU.
I realized that there were too many wars going on and taking me away
from the main focus of the Empire and it's war, so i decided to focus
more on my wars and less on others. This is just the first 2 and a half years of a LONG continous Austrian AAR, if you Like it, then give
me feedback, dont just read it, lemme know what you think, and remember, its my first time (;. Enjoy
Austria-The Emperor's Might
Stats-This is an IGC Game, I've used the leader editor to add many leaders, admirals, vice admirals,
generals and lieutenant generals to the already impressive roster. I also upgraded the prussian and
Teutonic Order leaders, so they have many special captains and generals as well. I didnt mess with the
monarch logs.The Order controls Inglermand and the COT of Novorgord is in Moscow.All major nations start with a
stability of 2. The Army Numbers are rounded out, so there will be plenty of 8,000 or
9,000 infantry that i record, rather than saying 8,230 or 8,890, you see? Enjoy
January 1,1492
The Lord Admiral Maroon(created), Vice Admiral Pason(created), and a standard Admiral(Posen) await
orders with my fleet of 4 warships in Flandres. General Barbon(created) and Lieutenant General Earl(created),
await orders in the capital of Austria. I, the Foreign Chamberlain of the Austrian Historybooks and Chief Vice Minister
(catchy title eh?) will record the events of the Holy Roman Empire from 1492 to 1792!!
January 5, 1492
The Saxons, a member of the Holy Roman Empire quickly arrange a royal marriage with us, I am pleased with their
loyalty and may include them in a future alliance. We invite the Hungarians to enter a military alliance with
the Bohemians and ourselves.
February 29, 1492
All is quiet, The Emperor orders me to raise 3000 infantry in Flandres, which I do with
haste. On a side note, Granda is annexed by the Spanish, as If we give a damn.
March 29, 1492
Another silent month, just adjusted the economy and raised 1000 infantry in Austria, where
the Imperial Guard is stationed. I have many schemes in mind for these first few years.
April 9, 1492
REJOICE!!! Lorraine has entered a marriage with the Empire, Hahahahaha, I see a deadly alliance
on the Horizons.
June 7, 1492
The Emperor has ordered the Lord Admiral(Has explorer status as well) to investigate the unknown
western seas, He ships off with haste, and we are eager to hear from him.
July 18, 1492
Bastards!! Lorraine would run off and get into an alliance with the French, pshh, it matters
not, I have secured a royal marriage with Savoy,The Emperor will NOT be outfoxed!!
August 13, 1492
No trouble on the horizon so far, I have received word from the Emperor, and under his command,
the fortress in austria is being expanded to a small size.
October 29, 1492
The Lord Admiral and the fleet, well, the 4 warships have yet to return, this makes me nervous,
I hope they come back soon, for all our sakes. Raised 8,000 infantry in Flandres, also arranged
a Royal Marriage with the Teutonic Order. Ha! There are some of Austria's finest colonels and
noblewomen romping around bed in Europe, while I slave for the Emperor!!!! They owe their happiness
to the Emperor and myself,they'd better not forget it. On a side note, the Teutonic order
and the Livionian Knights are a formidable nation, easily rivaling Pskov in power, if not for
the Russians, they could possibly be engaged in war with them very soon. The Prussians are
friends with the Order, so If nothing else, an alliance with the Order will erase any
foolish ideas of a possible assault on the empire.
November 1, 1492
Maroon has given word that his expedition is returning, they ended up in a open ocean, The
Irish Sea, I think they said it was. We must build sturdier and faster ships to ever make
it to the Unkown seas of the west.
December 22, 1492
Maroon's Expedition has been sighted off the coasts of France, they will be with us shortly,
I can hardly wait to learn of their exploits. Trade is fierce in Flandres, it will be
difficult to control the trade there, but luckily, it is not my job, that falls to the
Chief Treasurer of State and Country.
January 1, 1493
Brigadier General Pose(created) awaits the Emperor's orders in Flandres. Lord Maroon is almost
home, I can hardly wait for his debriefing and the praise the Emperor will bestow upon me.
I've ordered the shipwrights in Flandres in to construct another warship, in case the fleet
has taken lossess due to attrition, if we dont get these damn ships moving, we'll never see
the shores past our own lands. I have ordered the pikes and swords of the Imperial Guard to
be shined, when Lord Maroon returns, we must look our best when we greet him.
February 6, 1493
............Insanity.....Chaos.......Terror........The Nation of France has declared war
upon Spain!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Papal States under the Command of Pope Alexander VI and his General
D' Este have joined France against the Spanish and their Supreme Commander El Grande Capitan.
HERALD!!!! Terrible News has arrived......Savoy, Poland, and Brittany have joined the coalition
against the Spanish!!! This is terrible news indeed, most likely stemming from the annexation
of Granda by the Spanish....there is a fear of Spanish Dominance in the world....Lord
Giovanni of Milan has thrown in his chips with the french, which may cost him greatly.
Austrian Border scouts will update us on the events of the war. (This means I will have the
fog of war off for the time being).
February 17, 1493
As Europe Prepares for war, There is some uplifting news, Lord Maroon has returned from the
expedition, he has told us of a vast ocean, called the irish sea, but he will need better
equipment, a larger fleet, and a more supplies for a voyage beyond these seas. The Emperor,
Lord Maximillian was very pleased and has ordered Lord Maroon and crew to rest for a few days
before a new voyage will begin.
February 21, 1493
10,000 men from Milan and 10,000 men from Savoy engage each other in the Capital of Milan,
the battle has just begun, and its uncertain who will triumph in the engagement.
March 7, 1493
The General Ludvico Sforza must be a genius. The army from Savoy was completley annihilated,
and the army of Milan stands at a impressive 8,241 men. Quite a impressive defense, i must say.
March 22, 1493
El Gran Capitan and 33,000 men have assaulted the lands of Bearn, controlled by France, who knows how long the fortress
will hold out, meanwhile, men from lorraine and Brittany march......to Milan.
April 10, 1493
The Emperor is furious, the bastards from Russia rejected our marriage proposal....this inso
lence will not be forgotten!!!
April 13, 1493
Turkey declares war on the Mamelukes, no allies involved......I hope they slaughter each other.
I fear Lord Ludvico will not be able to hold out much Longer, 17,000 men from Savoy have attacked
Milan, and 15,000 combined soldiers of Lorraine and Brittany march towards Milan. Even if
Ludvico could push back all of these men.....the french are only a few provinces away with
an army of 51,000 under the command of General Foix, God Rest Ludvico's soul, he died well
at least.
April 19, 1493
Ludvico has managed to push back the Savoian Army, I gotta give him props, he's holding out strong.
I have to begin preparations for war as well.....Lord Maximillian requests a victory against
enemies of the Empire, and as we have none at the moment...i think it might be time to ruffle
some feathers.
May 5, 1493
Lord Foix has triumphed, as I predicted and routed the army of Milan. Before Ludvico's defeat
he had marched into the lands of Savoie and attempted to occupy the city, but Foix foiled that
plot. Meanwhile, in the west, Bearn has fallen into Spanish hands and the Spanish have
defeated a French army that attacked Roussilon.
May 22, 1493
Ludvico is dead, Foix has a initiated a siege in Milan, and I fear that the city will not
hold long.
June 1, 1493
El Gran Capitan of Spain has kicked all types of French ass, while Lord Foix in the east conducts
the siege of Milan. I have decided to kick back and observe this war, and have convinced the
emperor not to commit any troops to the field until the appropriate time.
June 5, 1493
Men from France and Lorraine still have not been able to crack the defenses of Milan. They
sure are pitiful.....defeated a great general with at least 5x his troops and then they
fail to even capture a small fortress after a assault with 50,000 men....i pray that
El gran Capitan cuts Foix's head off and puts it on display for all, i HATE the french. I stumbled
upon an interesting bit of news....when France declared war against Spain, the English, who
were an ally to spain, refused to honor the alliance.....traitorus bastards......when this
war ends...i might think to enter Spain into the grand Alliance of the Empire....they would
be excellent allies....still....it troubles me to have so much Catholic Blood spilled on
our lands.....as long as the Empire is not threatened, I cannot lend any aid to Spain, but
The Emperor has advised me to raise an additional 10,000 men in the coming months....
June 23, 1493
El Gran Capitan has initated a siege in the french town of Guyenne, and he may very well succeed....
I pray that Milan is able to hold out long enough to be spared a french annexation as a result
of this war......
July 4, 1493
Just to spite the French, I quickly arranged a royal marriage with Spain. Foix has failed another
assault against Milan, and France, Savoy, and Lorraine are all in position, with Brittany close
behind. REJOICE!!!! Ludvico has been sighted leading his army away from Savoie and a defeat
at the hands of Brittany....problem is, it seems he is headed to Milan.....damn, just when
I thought he had escaped the clutches of death.
July 22, 1493
Ludvico has escaped to Genoa, the Vassal of Milan with only 500 men left alive, he should be
safe there, meanwhile, the french and spanish are fighting a battle in Langeudoc and the outcome is
uncertain....DAMMIT!!! Austria must enter into a war soon, to expand the emperor's might and
to harm the bastards who would disrupt the peaceful harmony of the Catholic Nation. On a side
note, the Pope's men havent been seen on the battlefield since the war began and they havent
made any moves to leave for battle.....interesting.
August 3, 1493
The Spanish have beaten the french in Langeudoc, and they are in flight. The siege in Milan continues
and the Emperor is preparing to start a war.
September 3, 1493
El gran Capitan has taken another french town, and Milan is still standing, although it has
been looted...I think this war is coming to a close.
September 16, 1493
Disaster.......Milan has fallen, and has been annexed by France.....I think the bastards need to be taught a lesson..
I will ally with Spain if I can, but Austria is not prepared for a war yet.
Septemeber 24, 1493
A Victory in Dauphine for the Spanish, the French General Foix is heading west, to meet up
with El gran Capitan I suppose.....I hope Foix is completley routed and his head severed from
his body. Spanish victory in the waters of Cote D' Argent, 3 ships against the 4 of the french and
they were still defeated.....I love it.
September 27, 1493
The Knights declare war upon Brittany, Brittany's allies, the French, Savoy, and the Pope honor the
alliance, but Lorraine does not. Moderna and Genoa have joined the Knights in their war. Honestly
The Knights are too far away to have any impact on the war in my opinion.
October 3, 1493
Denmark has declared war on the Teutonic Order, the Prussians have sided with the Order. I'll be damned, never thought
I'd see that happen. Catholics really dont have much of a united feeling do they? The Holy
Roman Emperor will rectify that problem. Sibir has declared war upon the Uzbeks.....A global war
is coming on.....
October 11, 1493
Lorraine has joined the miltary alliance with The Emperor, Hungary, and Bohemia, thank god they
got themselves out of that alliance with the french, because i have made plans for an invasion
of Bavaria, which will commence in March 1, 1493....The Emperor can hardly wait.
(On a side Note, I'll be damnded, but I cant provide play by play for these other wars any
more, so I'll continue until the Spanish French war is over, but then, i'll only report
on my own wars, but i will give information on the outcome of wars between the other nations.)
November 1, 1493
Our new warship in Flandres has been prepared....we seriously need advancements in miltary
and naval technology to compete with the opponents of the emperor.
Novemeber 2, 1493
Teutonic Order declares war upon Genoa.....The Good Lord only knows what they are smoking,
considering they havent even begun to scratch Denmark, why oh why would they declare war on
Genoa!!!!!! Fellow Catholics for one matter, and for another, They are ALL the way across
Europe.....i believe the Livionian Knights Lord Tieffen is insane, but England and Prussia must
not, because they have honored their alliance....lets see what becomes of this mess.
Decemer 1, 1493
Genoa pays france 156 ducats in indemenities to escape their war, and our scientists have
discovered how to create artillery cannons, which will help us greatly in sieges against
enemy cities. I will raise 50 cannons and prepare for the war against Bavaria, hoping to meet
my March deadline.
January 18,1493
Saxony has joined the Military Alliance of the Emperor, alongside Hungary, Bohemia, and Lorraine,
The Alliance of Fire has been created....it is time.....I wont have the 50 extra cannons by
March, but Im going to go along with what we have.
January 20, 1494
France and its allies have sieged Moderna.....It will fall shortly, the Emperor tires of my
constant examination of other nations wars and he scrutinizes me, telling me to focus on our
own conflicts. I have 206 ducats which to work with......its time to raise hell.
February 21, 1494
General Barbon, Supreme Commander of the Emperor's Armed Forces has marches to Salzburg, leaving
Lieutenant General Earl in Command of 16,000 cavalry of the Imperial Guard, to defend the
Capital and its Small fortress. I am about to drop the Bomb on Bavaria.
April 1, 1494
1 month over the deadline, I have declared war on Bavaria. Bohemia, Saxony, Hungary, and Lor
raine have joined me in my war, and Bavaria has no allies.....I see a swift victory in the
near future for the Emperor. General Barbon is on the move, to attack Ansbach, while
Lietenaunt General Earl is moving with his 16,000 cavalry to defend the province of Tyrol. The
Emperor's Allies are on the move.
May 8, 1494
Under General Barbon, 30,000 infantry have sieged Ansbach, with 20 cannons, I have almost completed
the 50 extra cannons to be sent to ansbach ASAP. General Earl has stopped on his move to
tyrol, so that he can wait for the reinforcements from our allies, as an all cavalry force
should have some infantry to back it up.
May 24, 1494
Tyrol is Under siege by Bavarians, 24,000 infantry, 11,000 cavalry and 10 cannons. I am not
worried, and the emperor knows that Tyrol will not fall to the enemy forces.
June 4, 1494
43,000 men march from Hungary to Ansbach, where my Imperial Guard under General Barbon have
initiated a siege, the 50 cannons will be completed shortly and moved as quickly as possible
to the city to aid in the siege. The siege force now inclues about 60,000 infantry, 15,000
cavalry and the 20 guns of the Emperor.
July 17, 1494
The extra cannons have arrived, the siege force at Ansbach has increased to 70,000 infantry
40,000 cavalry and 70 cannons. The city is waning, and the siege is as good as done, mean
while, Bavaria has yet to hurt the garrison at Tyrol, they have dropped down to 15,000
infantry, 9,000 cavalry, and only 10 cannons. Attrition is a bitch.
July 19, 1494
The French and their Allies have completely devastated Modena, they have been forced to pay
241 ducats in indeminities.
July 22, 1494
The Emperor has told me to order General Barbon to assault Ansbach.....Let us hope that our
combined might will bring it down.
July 27, 1494
SUCCEESSSSS!!!!!! war..... chaos......shame......death......chivalry.....all parts of war
and life, love and hate, there is no good or evil, black or white, only shades of grey....
The Bavarian Province and City belong to the empire now......and it is time to march on
Bavaria itself......godspeed General Barbon.
July 28, 1494
A herald from Bavaria, offering a white peace......Bastards are fools to try and buy off the
Empire, The request was declined.
August 10, 1494
Our scouts report that Barbon is marching on Bavaria, the Combined forces of the Alliance have
105,000 men, attrition is rampant, but they push forward and push on, to take Bavaria down.
We also entered a royal marriage with Navarra on this day.
September 1, 1494
The Allied Forces have reached bavaria and to avoid massive attrition launch an assault on
the first day of the Siege, Bavaria quickly falls.....Swords slash, Pikes impale, arrows whiz,
Knights sever heads and cannons split in half......The entire Garrison is slaughtered, Bavaria
is defeated, Tyrol has barely been scratched, the Bavarian army has shrunk to 9,000 infantry,
8,000 cavalry, and 10 cannons. The war is over, a complete victory for the Emperor....and now to
get greedy in the peace negotiations.
Septemeber 4, 1494
Instead of annexation, which would have pissed off the rest of the Catholic world, I have
opted to tax the hell out of the Bavarians, and take Ansbach from them, they have been soundly
defeated, and the Emperor's Might is secure.
The next section will be added tomorrow. January 1, 1492-Septemeber 4, 1494 is complete.
school student, live in Florida, got about 2 weeks left of school,

Lorraine has joined the miltary alliance with The Emperor, Hungary, and Bohemia, thank god they
got themselves out of that alliance with the french, because i have made plans for an invasion
of Bavaria, which will commence in March 1, 1493....The Emperor can hardly wait.
(On a side Note, I'll be damnded, but I cant provide play by play for these other wars any
more, so I'll continue until the Spanish French war is over, but then, i'll only report
on my own wars, but i will give information on the outcome of wars between the other nations.)
November 1, 1493
Our new warship in Flandres has been prepared....we seriously need advancements in miltary
and naval technology to compete with the opponents of the emperor.
Novemeber 2, 1493
Teutonic Order declares war upon Genoa.....The Good Lord only knows what they are smoking,
considering they havent even begun to scratch Denmark, why oh why would they declare war on
Genoa!!!!!! Fellow Catholics for one matter, and for another, They are ALL the way across
Europe.....i believe the Livionian Knights Lord Tieffen is insane, but England and Prussia must
not, because they have honored their alliance....lets see what becomes of this mess.
Decemer 1, 1493
Genoa pays france 156 ducats in indemenities to escape their war, and our scientists have
discovered how to create artillery cannons, which will help us greatly in sieges against
enemy cities. I will raise 50 cannons and prepare for the war against Bavaria, hoping to meet
my March deadline.
January 18,1493
Saxony has joined the Military Alliance of the Emperor, alongside Hungary, Bohemia, and Lorraine,
The Alliance of Fire has been created....it is time.....I wont have the 50 extra cannons by
March, but Im going to go along with what we have.
January 20, 1494
France and its allies have sieged Moderna.....It will fall shortly, the Emperor tires of my
constant examination of other nations wars and he scrutinizes me, telling me to focus on our
own conflicts. I have 206 ducats which to work with......its time to raise hell.
February 21, 1494
General Barbon, Supreme Commander of the Emperor's Armed Forces has marches to Salzburg, leaving
Lieutenant General Earl in Command of 16,000 cavalry of the Imperial Guard, to defend the
Capital and its Small fortress. I am about to drop the Bomb on Bavaria.
April 1, 1494
1 month over the deadline, I have declared war on Bavaria. Bohemia, Saxony, Hungary, and Lor
raine have joined me in my war, and Bavaria has no allies.....I see a swift victory in the
near future for the Emperor. General Barbon is on the move, to attack Ansbach, while
Lietenaunt General Earl is moving with his 16,000 cavalry to defend the province of Tyrol. The
Emperor's Allies are on the move.
May 8, 1494
Under General Barbon, 30,000 infantry have sieged Ansbach, with 20 cannons, I have almost completed
the 50 extra cannons to be sent to ansbach ASAP. General Earl has stopped on his move to
tyrol, so that he can wait for the reinforcements from our allies, as an all cavalry force
should have some infantry to back it up.
May 24, 1494
Tyrol is Under siege by Bavarians, 24,000 infantry, 11,000 cavalry and 10 cannons. I am not
worried, and the emperor knows that Tyrol will not fall to the enemy forces.
June 4, 1494
43,000 men march from Hungary to Ansbach, where my Imperial Guard under General Barbon have
initiated a siege, the 50 cannons will be completed shortly and moved as quickly as possible
to the city to aid in the siege. The siege force now inclues about 60,000 infantry, 15,000
cavalry and the 20 guns of the Emperor.
July 17, 1494
The extra cannons have arrived, the siege force at Ansbach has increased to 70,000 infantry
40,000 cavalry and 70 cannons. The city is waning, and the siege is as good as done, mean
while, Bavaria has yet to hurt the garrison at Tyrol, they have dropped down to 15,000
infantry, 9,000 cavalry, and only 10 cannons. Attrition is a bitch.
July 19, 1494
The French and their Allies have completely devastated Modena, they have been forced to pay
241 ducats in indeminities.
July 22, 1494
The Emperor has told me to order General Barbon to assault Ansbach.....Let us hope that our
combined might will bring it down.
July 27, 1494
SUCCEESSSSS!!!!!! war..... chaos......shame......death......chivalry.....all parts of war
and life, love and hate, there is no good or evil, black or white, only shades of grey....
The Bavarian Province and City belong to the empire now......and it is time to march on
Bavaria itself......godspeed General Barbon.
July 28, 1494
A herald from Bavaria, offering a white peace......Bastards are fools to try and buy off the
Empire, The request was declined.
August 10, 1494
Our scouts report that Barbon is marching on Bavaria, the Combined forces of the Alliance have
105,000 men, attrition is rampant, but they push forward and push on, to take Bavaria down.
We also entered a royal marriage with Navarra on this day.
September 1, 1494
The Allied Forces have reached bavaria and to avoid massive attrition launch an assault on
the first day of the Siege, Bavaria quickly falls.....Swords slash, Pikes impale, arrows whiz,
Knights sever heads and cannons split in half......The entire Garrison is slaughtered, Bavaria
is defeated, Tyrol has barely been scratched, the Bavarian army has shrunk to 9,000 infantry,
8,000 cavalry, and 10 cannons. The war is over, a complete victory for the Emperor....and now to
get greedy in the peace negotiations.
Septemeber 4, 1494
Instead of annexation, which would have pissed off the rest of the Catholic world, I have
opted to tax the hell out of the Bavarians, and take Ansbach from them, they have been soundly
defeated, and the Emperor's Might is secure.
The next section will be added tomorrow. January 1, 1492-Septemeber 4, 1494 is complete.
