Great work, though the prince episode was confusing. But no worries!
What is the premise of this AAR? The fact that I inhabit the bodies of one person every ten years, right? Now, what if someone else does the same thing?
That's all I'll say for now, as any more would give away what little of the plot I have mapped out so far.

Wait, so you're going to battle this other person for world domination?

Aha! That makes sense!
Aha! That makes sense!
Good to hear.

Along with the death of King Christian, the beginning of the new year saw the conquest of Lappland and part of the Finnish coast by Moscow.
This represented a dangerous intrusion into Scandinavia, and the new King, Christian II, saw the expulsion of the Russians from Finland as a major goal for the future. For now, however, there was work to be done in Sweden.
General Brockenhus, now the leader of the entire army, captured Stockholm on 19 February. The Swedish king managed to escape to Finland, where the army was located. However, most of his court was captured in Åland, and they were in a Danish prison for the rest of the war.
Following the fall of Stockholm, Brockenhus' army went north, meeting up with the rest of the Danish soldiers. Within three months, most of the rest of Sweden proper fell to Brockenhus' assaulting soldiers.
Within six, northern Norway and Sweden were occupied. The Swedish king now had no alternative but to finally entertain thoughts of giving up land for peace. He accepted a Danish offer to give up almost everything south of Stockholm, in exchange for the freedom of his court and his land. Norway was given nothing.
The war marked the single largest territorial expansion of Denmark since Valdemar Sejr's conquest of Estonia in 1219. Both Christians, along with General Brockenhus, became legendary almost overnight. But it was Christian II who received the most fame and glory. He completely overshadowed his father in the eyes of most Danes, and is still a national hero of Denmark.

A map and "State of the World" update will be up soon.

The world, January 2, 1450. (Yes, I went a day too far.
)The major powers are England, Denmark, Burgundy, Poland, the Ottoman Empire, Moscow, the Golden Horde, Austria, Maharasthra, the Mamluks, and Ming.
What happened to my former pawns?
Oirat Horde: Assimilated into the (slightly smaller) Mongol Khanate. Unfortunately, the Mongols failed to assimilate three former Oirat provinces. I like to pretend that the Oirats merely changed their name to take up the mantle of Genghis Khan, but rebellions took a little bit of land from them.
Hedjaz: Cut in two by Najd after losing a war to the Mamluks and Ottomans. This one is the most disappointing, especially since they have no access to their Syrian possessions.
Kanem Bornu: Lost one or two provinces, nothing major to speak of. (They actually got reduced to OPM status at one point by Mali, so I'm rather proud of them.)
Maharasthra: This one actually learned from my time with the country! Maharasthra has converted about a third of their new land, and conquered Goa and parts of Rajputana. They were also in a PU with Vijayanagar at one point, but gray blob broke free.
All in all, we have a slight decrease in fortunes for the Oirats (Like I said, the Mongol Khanate is the important one.
) and Kanem Bornu, while Hedjaz was completely shattered and Maharasthra is doing very well. It will be very interesting to see how this world develops! Also, I'll give a hint as to which country comes next: It is not in the Western tech group.
Edit: I just noticed that this AAR has 12 pages covering only 50 years.
Thank you for all of your comments!

Great turnaround for Denmark. Hopefully they'll do as well or better than Maharasthra later.
As for the next country, I'm going to guess Timurids. Rebuild Timur's Empire!

No, no, no, no, no, good idea but no, thank you but no, no.

"Uuuugh... Where am I?" dinofs found himself in a large, flat plain. As far as he could tell, nothing was within a mile of his position.
"Hello, Mr. dinofs." A man suddenly appeared in front of him. "I regret to inform you that you are in the afterlife."
"What? Again? Dang it! That was under ten years!"
"Unfortunately, yes."
"But, why? We had a deal!"
"Perhaps, but your brutal rampage through Earth became too much to bear! The Council and I decided to-"
"Council? What are you talking about? Who are you?
"The Council and I decided to render your contract null and void. The amount of destruction you caused was simply too great." The plain began to shift and swirl, like it was soup being stirred.
"Null and void? How? Who is this council? What gives them the right to end a divine contract?"
"Ah, yes, sorry. Sometimes I forget that you haven't been here for fifty years... It's not important. All you need to know is that your services are no longer required, nor are they wanted." Chains and stone were visible.
"So... what's going to happen to me?"
"What should have happened all those years ago. The Council has made the unanimous decision to send you to Purgatory- and with an extra five lifetimes' sins added on." Flames began appearing in the "soup."
"No! Wait! You can't-"
"I can, and I will!" thundered the man. "I am a GOD." With this, thunder and lightning swirled ominously into the mix.
"No! You need me! I can-"
"You can do nothing except causing mayhem and destruction! You are a pox on society! A pox which I will remove!" The background was no longer swirling. Instead, it was a clear picture of Hell itself. Flames went up randomly, licking the walls of what was now a large cave. Horrible creatures, their faces disfigured and burnt, leered at the pair. The screams of the damned echoed throughout the room.
"No!" dinofs pleaded, "Please! There must be some other way! Something I can do! Let me atone in some other way!"
Then, suddenly, the nightmare disappeared, leaving the two once again in a formless void. The strange man composed himself. "I suppose that you're right. After all, I can't just send you to be tortured for all eternity, can I? I suppose I'll have to let you go."
"Really?"
"No, not really. Goodbye, dinofs. May you never again trouble the world."
And with that, a hole opened up beneath dinofs' feet, and he was sent plummeting into the abyss.
--------------------
Wow, is my idea of the afterlife disturbing, or what? :wacko: Also, I learned that if I want to clumsily inject myself into my AAR, I should have a nicer username.
