Wow... Very strange Europe there. Strange things have happened here while your predecessors were playing around in Asia.
Well, with three provinces already in your possession, it will no doubt be easy to form a Croatia where you can travel overland from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast!

but at least we can get a panaeuropean country, right? like corridor from the Baltic to the Black sea!!!
Well, not quite, but let's just say that Croatia at the end of my turn has the access to three different seasAmbassadeBelgie said:

Tyrrenian, Caspian and Baltic, i hope
Personally, I was thinking more in the line of: North, Baltic and Black. Anything less and I'd be disappointedFnuco said:

Mea culpa...
then post the AAR already!
the suspense is killing me!
Is it the yellow sea, the java sea, the mediterranean sea (completely), and the white sea? bloody cool if it were :rofl:

The General and His Mood
To say that Zrinski was not happy would be a gross understatement. When he was told to take control of the main Croatian army he expected to be able to use it immediately. Instead, he was sent to Italy, of all places! The idiot of a previous commander forgot to bring the army home after the last war, so it was up to Zrinski to babysit the army for over six months while it leisurely walked home, sightseeing the roads and road inns of the Northern Italy and Austria.
At least he was able to do some good with the army, boosting its moral and organization, following the changes he had managed, before he even got the commission, to push through the thick skulls at the court.
The move was not accepted with cheers, as it reduced Croatia's already pitiful mapower pool, but it could prove crucial... provided the country expands. As it is, it improved the fire discipline and shot accuracy of the army.
While the grunts were traipsing through Italy and Austria, the budget was moved on war footing... permanently.
Six months or so later, the army was in Croatia... ready to strike wherever the General points. And the General is pointing to Venice. Officially, it was because the Venice was holding Dalmatia, a core province of Croatia Magna
...but the real reason was the fact that he had to endure that bloody trek around the Adriatic, instead of simply cruising acrross it.
And so, the first war begins... Of course, our allies have to be invited...
The result is not very pleasing to the Doge, but noone asked him anything anyway...

Nice start n nice allies to have!I liked the real reason for the war - in particular. I look forward to Zrinski's mood swings.
It sounds like the general is having a bad day. And who'd blame him after having to travel so many miles just to get back home?
A good set of allies you have there. Will they keep following the general's lead or does his temper have other plans with them?

How many miles must Zrinski walk down... before you can call him a man?
And how many countries must he obliterate... before he can sleep in the sand?

Allies? Nothing but drones to be used as much as possible, especially their troopsTeeWee said:
Excellent. I do love seeing Venice get annihilated. Of course I'm assuming this is what I will see.
