Beamed: One can only hope so... I generally like to be in a prolonged peacetime at this stage of the game (working toward the manufactory tech levels, then pushing hard for gov. tech 12) and it would be nice to have a quiet spell...
Enewald: I figured I could take one HRE relations hit... it's been All Austria thus far, and remember we were allied once, so I had hopes that i wouldn't get trade sanctions.
Fulcrumvale: The AI? Erm, we're talking about EU3 right? It's never wholly competent. The Burgundian DoW on France was pretty bad, yes, but nothing compares to the total inability of England to do anything effectively, or be affected by another AI power...
Coz1: Yeah, a nice peace. I did, to be fair, still have a decent force in the north, since I'd so meekly avoided combat while my morale built back up. To be precise: they took Zeeland, had MONTHS of combat to beat the Zeeland rebels, after which I marched back over from Utrecht and ran them off. As they recouped in Zeeland, I marched through to join my Irish allies in Vlaandern (they'd gotten to, i think, 38% already!) and when i got there with my general-less army, the Leicestrian king immediately hit the 'Woot' button and, thanks to the wall breach, he got the province, at the expense of most of my manpower. About this time, Franche-Comte fell and the 2k Burgundian troops returned to Bourgogne had not dispersed my garrison ... so i immediately sued for peace and got it, first time off. Was surprised.
dharper: *blush* yes its my first AAR. I had the skeleton of a story, and a bit of writing done, for my second Ceylon campaign, back with MMI, but it never went anywhere. glad you're enjoying!
