I'm curious whether you plan to manually convert from EUIV>VII>HOI3 or see if the fan-converter for EUIV>VII is ready by then.
The former would be a lot of work, that's for sure.

Subed. How did you get a CB for lancaster? ask the pope for a claim?
Ah Brice the Bold. There's just something about alliterative nicknames that make them seem more like people actually thought of that cognomen; Justinian the Gentle and Georgios the Great are my personal favorites. Here's hoping Adam II gets 'the Able' in-game.
A pity that the first Scottish attempts at intrigue and diplomacy on the world stage ended so much worse than the Asturians'. Still, depending on who Adam surrendered to, he might still have a claim to press on his mother's Kingdom.
Aye, Character Designer can only be used at the start. Customization Pack lets you make graphical (Coat of Arms, Hairstyle, Nation Name) changes throughout the entire game though. Really useful for getting rid of those large haircuts that glitch through crowns and such
Anyway, it looks like if the Spanish fracture anymore, the Scots will be ready to rush them and throw them out for good. How is it that you always get the most interesting situations in your AARs? Spanish England, Ireland unifying, Joan of Arc. I only ever get mistresses and everything falling apart. -.-
That designer can also be used for roleplay with the hair and growing long beards.
I think it is good to have the spanish in England, as it gives you a legmit Casus Belli (roleplay one) to restore the Brithish Isles under celtic rule.
Well, that certainly was a long reign. Bride got a lot done – even if long reigns do often stagnate towards the end. Shame about Wales, though Ireland seem to have the right idea. I'm quite glad Adam comes with no attachment to the continent, if I'm honest. It makes focussing on beating back those dastardly Spaniards all the easier.
This statement might have to be edited if a future Scottish monarch reigns for seventy-nine!
Naturally though I find the prospect of Spaniards in England to be an affront to all Britons and I hope this new Adam fellow can make their removal a top priority.
Didn't expect you back in the Aar business so soon, Tommy. I know I wouldn't be if if it was me. Anyway nice stuff so far I've enjoyed reading it and look forward to more. The long lived Brice reminds me of an old game. I was playing a Byz game last year and thought I'd look how the rest of the world was doing, all of Britain was conquered by the possessed king of Scotland, Alexander the great who went on to form the Empire of Britannia. Died aged 98 leaving the empire to his 69 year old surviving celibate son. Things didn't go well after that.

I must say, King Adam II has quite the dashing beard!
Read it, love it, subscribed. Really enjoying the rapid pace of the updates!
Yes, push that Anglo-Saxon scum back into the sea!

There's also a (very low) chance that Fabricating Claims gets you a claim on the Duchy rather than the County, IIRC.
Fascinating combination of the plausible and the odd, what with Scottish Joan, Spanish Kent and Prince Adam running off to Germany. Its that combination in the right amounts that creates great AARs
Subbed. Loved your last AAR, and this one is looking to be even more spectacular, albeit slightly less ridiculous. Laude Caledonios!
Maybe his nickname is a corruption of 'Brice the Old'?Yeah, whilst 'the Bold' maybe wasn't the best nickname the game could have given him considering his life's feats (the Old, SURELY!), it does have a nice ring to it.
Spanish Armada is the cause, I imagine. That, and it being fairly absurdAnd the Spanish in England seem very unpopular with the readership.

Why is it absurd? Northern Spain isn't far from southern France and English monarchs inherited loads of land there in history, why not the other way around?
Don't you think they'd be more busy fighting off Saracens or something? Invading England doesn't make much strategic sense if you ask me.

This man has the right of it.

Well, there were no invasions involved here, just inheritance.
It's still something That Must Not Be. Britain shall be Scottish, not Asturian!
Great stuff so far. Never followed a mega-campaign before.
Consider me subscribed.
