Largest war win you've ever had.

[codeydbw]

And now the conclusion of the war.

I tried staying in the Prussian Homeland for as long as possible, attempting to lower my War Exhaustion (which had reached 12), but I had to move. So I made my way through North-West Russia, going from province to province up the left hand side.

Eventually, I reach St. Petersburg and it becomes apparent that 80,000 Russian Troops are making their way to me. I continue north and the 80,000 army start trying to take back St. Petersburg. Finally, I reached 40% War Score and began
negotiations with Russia. Sweden was forced to cede the province I was initially after, Russia paid me 900 Ducats.

The outcome basically saw me get back in the good books with the HRE because I took back a province belonging to the
HRE, I added it to the Prussian Empire, meanwhile, Denmark and Sweden aren't allies anymore, Russia had to pay me a
hefty fine and they are in the wake of Nationalist, Patriot, and Noble Revolts due to my spies.

I'm gonna call it a win.

I just finished this war which took my entire game play for today. I am really tired right now. I was the Ottomans and had been fighting the Timurids for a straight decade. My WE was 4.5. I was bored of course when I loaded the game and was aching for war. Previously I had gotten provinces around the capitals of Poland(Krakow) and Bavaria(München). I declared on both of them at the same time to get these provinces with good cassus bellis. Anyways the HRE was a self-formed Netherlands from Holland consisting of the real Netherlands before Belgium gained independence. So After I declared, we had huge battles across the HRE, and I had to move my Egyptian and Caucasian armies to the front to keep up with their armies. They were only one technology ahead of me land-wise but I had the superiority of numbers. We ravaged central Europe clashing armies. Both sides had mindless minions of their own. Mine were Arab states in my protection and theirs were countless HRE minors. Also Bohemia who integrated Brandenburg was on their side. After I declared I quickly made peace with Poland and Bavaria gaining both capital cities. I then decided to dismantle the HRE, which was a huge pain to accomplish. As I said armies from both sides clashed endlessly. I overran Bohemia and occupied all of it, then slowly moved my armies to the Netherlands. In the end, 20k was sieging while we were playing cat and mouse in northern Germany. They had 20 k versus my 23 k there but both sides were afraid to attack one another. I couldn't attack, because of my high WE. One after another the castles fell in their homeland, so they rushed home but were ambushed by me. I won the war, but to dismantle the HRE I had to declare on 5 more nations. I moved my armies to the capitals of these target nations and declared on 3 of them. The rest followed honoring their alliances. I quickly assaulted their capitals and finally after much bloodshed, 120k casualties on both sides and 20k casualties from men defending castles, I was victorious. This is the map after the war ended. France and England fell apart without my interference. I was merciless against Bohemia and the Netherlands. I made them release 3 nations. I also got 1k ducats in peace deals with all of the HRE. I had 3k ducats without the peace deals because of the micro management of the war for the last 5 years, not being able to spend it.

Winning a war against an alliance of Burgundy,England,Scottland and Holland as Brabant the war started in about 1402 so there wasnt much time to prepare. I was lucky to get burgundy to be the warleader I quickly captured their capital and about half of their land getting about 15% warscore. that allowed me to grab 1 province but it wasnt really worth it because my inflation and war exhaustion skyrocketted.

I just had a new champion for my biggest war: me (GBR) vs. Austria, Emperor-Blobhemia, Holland, and 11 vassals and minors. The enemy controlled a third of Europe and a good 40+ overseas provinces while fielding the #2 and #4 armies, #2 and #5 navies, and three front-page economies.

The result? Holland was annexed, 28 total provinces and a dozen colonies were taken, and the non-me European presence was effectively eradicated from South America, India, sub-Saharan Africa, Oceania, the North Sea, and the western Baltic
