So - new patch day, decided to start a new game with a nation I haven't played before - Poland. It's just shy of 1500 and so far:
1) I've conquered the Teutons, half of livonian order, half of Hungary, half of Bohenia.
2). Strong allies with Austria who has conquered nothing to date.
3) Muscovy didn't reach the coast in time and took Religious so isn't colonizing.
4) England White peaced France and didn't lose anything
5) Genoa vassal used Crimea
6) Ottoderps lost a chunk of their southern provinces to Mamluks
7) Burgundy still exists
8) Castille passed on the Iberian wedding
So you ask - how could I screw this up? Well I managed to become an elective monarchy before PU with Lithuania. My goal was to play as the Commonwealth but looks like that's not going to happen
