Peace in our time... Only lasted for a few more months.
Armenia formed, with just one right religion and culture province. I think this needs to changed.
Crusader against crusader! (That's the Order of St. John)
Yet again Florence outside of Italy, and an interesting Iberia
Perm in Kazan, Sweden in Novgorod, and Mega Ryazan! Didn't form Russia though...
The most curious thing, however, was that during a Portugal game Bulgaria (still Orthodox) declared independence from the Ottomans with all its cores. When I got a bit bored of exploring and colonizing, I decided to start up as them from the date they appeared.
Quite an awesome game, certainly. First I conquered the Byzantines, who were allied to the Order, at the beginning I only wanted to take Constantinople, but a failed invasion by the Knights and the fact I inherited the Roman fleet allowed me to take Rhodes as well. These 2 fleets formed one of the largest ones in the Mediterranean, which made it possible for me to stop the first of the expectable Catholic coalitions (Aragon and Naples).
At the time the evil Kebabs were taking a beating from Karaman (!), losing Ankara, but entering an alliance with them and Candar right after the war ended (!!)
Such a great chance could not be missed, so I swoop in for an easy victory, leaving the Ottomans as a OPM and Candar as my vassal.
I'm currently the leader of an Orthodox alliance, and have a nice 8/4/7 monarch, so I can pretty much do anything I want now. My only real enemy is a pact of Morea (now having 4 provinces!) and Venice.
I have the save file from when it seceded if anyone wants it.
