  • Europa Universalis III
On August 3, 1460 King James II of Scotland died and his son, James III became the second boy-king in a row of the Scots. At this time there was a Highland Scottish family, the House of Piper, who wished to have the crown of Scotland for themselves. They immediately began to rally other Highland nobles behind them to over-throw the boy-king and take back Scotland for the Highlanders. Almost all of the Highland nobles followed them and they declared themselves and the highland areas Scotland free from the Crown of Scotland. War broke out immediately and the Piper's invaded Tyrone as they supported the Scottish king with money and men. This is how the Land of Scotland stands now. Divided and at war with themselves. Who will win? The lowlanders and the highlanders?

Are the Pipers a historical family?

This looks very interesting, good luck. I agree with comagoosie, better watch out for English intervention.

Another Scotland AAR, excellent! This has a very interesting and original idea behind it. I can't wait for the next update!

I also second the request to see a map of the Piper's holdings. :)

Comagoosie: It is quite possible that they might but I have a trick up my sleeve to deal with them for the time being.

Rcduggan: The Pipers are a cadet family of the Clan Murray who were very in power in Aberdineshire.

Mike Von Beck: I'll show a map of thier holdings soon

Eber: Thank you and the map will be up soon.

Enewald: I will be playing the Pipers

Capibara: Thank you

House of Piper AAR​

The Domain of the Piper:
1.png


The Piper had a very weak military only, 2k infantry and 1k cavalry. The Scots had 2k of both. This left the Piper at a horrible disadvantage, which lead me to focus on the military.

I took out a bank loan of 200 Ducats and hired some mercenaries, and recruited some cavalry units in the Western Isles.

King Duff I took command of the Piper's only unit and marched into Scotland at Fife. He was beaten back twice for being successful in his third attempt to siege that province.

3.png

Connacht offers us an alliance, which we accept.

4.png

Connacht accepts our Royal Marriage proposal.

The Civil war is going good for us expect for the siege of the Highlands which Scotland is conducting.

The Siege of Fife is won and we march to Ayershire. Where King Duff I battles a Scottish army of 1k men and defeats them easily.

5.png

Brittany offers us a Royal Marriage. We accept.

The war with Scotland continues to go our way as our recruited troops in the Western Isles come into play to fight the Scots as the Highlands. A battle they win, ending the Siege there.

Sadly, at this time, as many had predicted, The English were at war with the Scots but not just them but France and all of her allies too. This will both help and hurt me.

6.png

Leinster offers us an Alliance. Which we accept.

7.png

Leinster accepts our Royal Marriage proposal.

The war with Scotland goes 100% our way now, and with Scotland fighting England they wanted out of the Civil war so they offered us this.

8.png

Peace offer from Scotland which we gladly accept.

Dominion of the Pipers as of October 1461

Looks like the Scottish are at war with England. They might annex Lothain!

Comagoosie: I recruited Mercs, did a lot of assaults on the garrison in provinces and the war with England helped to split their forces as they sent most of their army to fight the English, leaving me alone mostly.

germanpeon: That is a sad truth that I will have to live with and was partly planning on because of a goal I have and tiny province known as Meath. (wink wink)

The Lothian doesn't matter too much. You should focus on uniting Ireland, and maybe inheriting Brittany. Maybe then you would have enough power to invade England.

Mike Von Beck: This is in NA because I am dead broke. I plan to get those pirates out of there soon.

Rcduggan: I do plan on leaving Lothian for the time being and I wish to some day unite all the Gaelic peoples under one crown.
