This is an AAR on the campaign of Divide et Impera, an MP game currently at its 2nd session, we had the idea to make an AAR only recently so forgive us.
Here's a situation of the world:
And here is a closer look to Europe:
So to summarize the situation in 1471:
-Lauwrenzo(Portugal) became a merchant republic and has already started colonization in Mexico
-Tigerkid(Castille) will soon form Spain, and he somehow reached Huron and colonized it, also he's colonizing Brazil
-Histaxin(France) is pwning everybody in the Flanders and is certainly a major power, he also started to colonize the Creek-Shawnee-Cherokee area
-Tornadoli(England) is sitting in the British Isles, not colonizing yet, but partecipating to some major wars
-the answer 42(Ferrara) yes you heard right, Ferrara, it became the strongest nation in Italy after the previous Naples perm left and was left braindead, in the end Ferrara had Tuscany, Romagna and other central provinces, also Calabria, Naples was also vassalized.(I have to say that the full circumstances are still unclear to me)
-wendo99(Austria) hasn't expanded really much but it's still the strongest nation in the HRE(not for long muahahaha)
-Me(Brandenburg) swiftly expanding, but still i'm very weak
-Empty Spot(Holland) not much to say here, can form Netherlands soon i think, we need a PERMANENT PLAYER here
-scorpionblue(Sweden) owns more or less all Scandinavia(Norway is a vassal), no colonization though
-Dankysh(Poland) he joined the HRE, had quite a successful game, but then this guy was quite unlucky, he lost the PU on Lithuania and Hungary(low prestige due to unlawful territory) and was stuck with a 1 years old heir, sad story(the heir is now 12 or 13 years old IIRC)
-Tomfromnorway(Muscowy) recently pwned Novgorod, but he wasn't patient enough to follow the mission to vassalize Novgorod and now he has to wait 50 years to form Russia(We need SUBSTITUTE for him)
-Lamertu(Ottomans) is happily sitting in the Middle East eating those territories, though he recently expanded in Hungary and somehow got Venice
Anyway i'm sure the others will post their nations' AAR here, here is mine
Rise of the Prussian Eagle(currently Brandenburgian but let's go ahead
)
Jobst von Luxembourg(14/10/1399-1/10/1417)
The year 1399 is coming to an end, and Brandenburg is stuck in a Personal Union with the stupid king Jobst of Luxembourg, known as “the opressor”.
The nobility of Brandenburg was plotting a long time against him, but unfortunately there was little they could do until he would die, but in 1417 a young guy, Albrecht Achilles von Wettin, convinced France to protect him in case of a rebellion against the evil Jobst.
On 1st October war was declared, and Albrecht was elected margrave of Brandenburg, while the French forces invaded Luxembourg, making Jobst agree to a white peace
Albrecht Achilles von Wettin(1/10/1399-4/11/1431)
Although Brandenburg was free it was weak, if compared to the other states it had to compete with, the new margrave promised to expand the little German state, and in a few years he declared war on Pommerania, formally willing only the province of Vorpommern, but he aimed for all the duchy.
Unfortunately during the war he was struck by a mental illness, and instead of attaining to the master plan of annexing Pommerania and vassalising it's ally Meissen, he annexed Meissen and left Pommerania alone(I crashed and was lead by the retarded AI).
The king died heir-less on 4th November 1431, and on his death a distant relative of the duke of Ferrara was put on throne, and not all the nobles were happy.
Christian Wilhelm d'Este(4/11/1431-30/6/1446)
Although having Italian roots, this guy cared a lot for Brandenburg, and under his rule most of the expansion until now was done.
He wanted to retry to claim Pommerania again, but he was opposed by the king of Poland. Supported by the military might of France, he demanded from him the whole duchy, and maybe because the king of Poland was afraid of France, maybe because he was willing to make Brandenburg a powerful ally, he agreed to let Brandenburg get both Pommerania and Silesia, an ally of Pommerania. Unfortunately he died before seeing his plan accomplished, and his 12 years old heir continued his work, although helped by his uncle regent.
Johann Friedrich d'Este(30/6/1446-Present day)
After the conquests Brandenburg could be considered a serious weight on the international balance of powers, but still it was very weak in comparison to its rivals.
During the reign of Johann, Brandenburg partecipated in a massive HRE vs France war, where France apparently was the agressor, only later he discovered that it was Austria that started it, because it claimed the throne of Luxembourg, an area of interest for France.
Currently the relations with France aren't really good, but Johann doesn't consider them enemies.
So after this introduction, that was made quite a lot of time after the two sessions(of course no pics),
i will continue it more or less in this style, but in a more complete way, with my thoughts, motivations etc.
My plans for now are to heavily expand in Germany(getting Lubeck is a high priority, though it will be hard)
