As for the update.
1719-20:
Now comes Revenge Time! With all the pieces in place, we declared war. King Christian VI
(I forgot to note when he started reigning. I assume he was the King when this war started.) said: "The goals for this war are either provinces that we desired from when we were just a member of the Kalmar Union or valuable ones. We don't want the scum of Russia. The old port-cities of Reval and Dorpat have always been our targets, while the area of Österbotten would not only link up our possessions but would also serve with valuable furs."
The timeline goes here. This was possibly the fastest war ever.
1719 March-September: Our troops crush the defenses in Österbotten. An attacking force in Kurland is intercepted and annihilated, and our troops march on Livonia and its city Dorpat, conquering it in 2 months. 1000 cavalrymen ravage through Kola and Far Karelia and take control. The King did all this in short time to confuse the Russians. Not to mention that the Dutch control a few Russian colonies and the Habsburgs control Helvetia, possession of the Russian ally Spain.
Russia, thinking of defeat, agrees to our terms. Österbotten and Livonia, and all their cities go under Danish control.
The warmonger really learnt a lesson. Its gains against Poland, in 1720, Smolensk and Lithuania don't even match up in worth: Österbotten is worth as much as the two together and Livonia just boosts it.
Of course, our allies were disappointed with the fact that they got nothing. So we sent a consolation price to the Habsburgs and the Dutch, who contributed to the actual war.
1724:
Würtemberg may be the last German minor to fall. But it does a good job at that. Their Emperor wouldn't even think about refusing our demands: vassalisation, tribute and unbroken loyalty. That's all though, for now.
1729:
Interesting events in France. France broke the Savoy Duchy in two, by recapturing Lyonnais. The rebellious Bourgogne now has a good chance of forming Burgundy, as the mainland Savoy would no longer oppress them. Will they?
(They didn't so far.)
1731:
Our spies stole Polish maps. Actually, the effort was not worth it. They didn't know anything more. For example, they didn't know where the Russians get their Yetis from. All we know, the Yeti raids ceased. Perhaps the Russki warmongers are scared. Let them be.
1735:
King Christian VI: "We need new allies, but we need to get rid of older ones to do that. I demand you to join glorious Denmark if you want to live and prosper!"
Wurtemberg Emperor: *looks around. Sees 10 soldiers of his own. Sees 30 Danish ones, with better weapons and a bad-boy look.* "U-uh... of course, of course."
Great! We got rid of an older ally! The Russian scum, of course, declared war on Poland to pass time. So we boosted up the relations. Their allies all betrayed them in the trouble! But we won't betray anyone! (At best, we run like hell.) So we invite the Polish into the strongest alliance of the world! Beware, Russia, for your end is coming!!!
And here is your picture, like always! Denmark looks prettier now, no?
