This is the beginning of on on going report on Scotland and how it does.
I may not do to well and it may come to being destroyed.
Just to warn you in advance this is a difficult nation to play.
(1492)
January
James the fourth appoints me to court and looks very discouraged.
He tells me our country is in great disarray and orders me to help him threw the great suffering of all Scots. I make a point to hire a tax collector in Strathclyde which will take 12 months to produce. Our countries stability is low right now and our people as i see are backwards compared to the many nations of Europe. I will do everything in my power to make Scotland great under king and country. Our countries gold ducats are 244 (-50 for spending on promotion of the tax collector).
February
Our monarch orders me to go to war with England and take The Marches in five years time. I want to protest this because i must build our country to greatness but fear if i do i will be beheaded for questioning my king. I will do everything to do it and maybe there will be good fortune in our future. On February 20th the great empire of Turkey declared war on The Mameluks. We will see what will happen but it doesn't concern us.
March
Not much happens this month. I order the 1st Scottish fleet home to Edinburgh. I do this as a procaution. Things do not look good. Stability is still at low levels.
April
Things look a little up. I look outside and see traders starting to do business in our capital again. The scottish fleet makes port on the 9th. I order the highlanders army home on the 20th. Our monarch approves and when they reach home they should for a larger army within our capital. General Norfolk stalks us from The Marches. With a larger army we may be able to defend against an assault from England.
May
I make a trip to Paris to speak with the king there. After many hours of wine and drink i make a purpose of an alliance with the king. Unfortunately he rejects it and sends me packing. When i tell my king about it well lets just say he wasn't to pleased. I am jailed for 15 days then summoned to the palace and given a slap on the wrist. Thank god my lord didnt kill me. The highlands army combined with my lords army and formed over 24,000 Scots. God save Scotland!
June
Not much happened this month.... Granda was annexed by Spain (I saw it coming). Our lord told me he's giving me this chance because he thinks Scotland wont survive 10 years. I beg to differ.
July
On the first of July I ordered 3000 infanty and 2000 Calvary to be assembled in the capital. I hope these troops will be enough for an attack from England if one comes. I also hope that an alliance can be formed with France one day so that England may be distracted by that. Our current Ducats stand at 157.
August-September
Royal Marriage with France has been accepted!!! our relations are now (+75). Our king is pleased that we has done this and expects a lot from me in the future to form an alliance! With the French as allies we may have a chance with England in the upcoming years!
October-December
The assembling of our army is complete and we now have over 29,000 Scots in Edinburgh. Also we are seeing more merchants in our capital and the people seem happier. (0 Stability). We sent our first merchant to Venice. I have high hopes that at a centre of trade such as that we may expand our business in a major marketplace!

January
22D
I am happy to report an alliance with France (+95)! and our tax collector in Strathclyde has been finally installed! Things are looking upwards! We now have 171 ducats in our coffers and I am very pleased with the progress.
February-May
In March of this year our stability increased again (+1) and the servants report that our country has made a good recovery. People are not fearing England so much now that we are allies with the great power of France and taxes are being given to our coffers to aid us in maybe taking provinces in the future from our dreaded enemy England. We sent another merchant to Venice in hopes we can expand again. In a move our king invited me to his chambers... he wanted a marriage with England. He told me it was a spying tactic so we can see the English provinces so if we war them in the future we know what we deal with. I reluctantly agreed and a marriage to the kings brother was struck. Seeing reports we see that Norfolk has 16.000 troops in The Marches (we already knew this) 2 div of 9000 in England and another of 4000. This made me very nervous! They are protecting thier land and have no troops in Callis.
June-July
Many troop movements from England. We put a Pskov merchant out of business in Venice. England took 9000 of its troops and put them in Meath Ireland. In July mother Russia declared war on Kazan which shocked me because they also canceled Vasalliage on them the same day. Pskov Crimea and Ryazan all declared war with Russia. We will see what will happen but it doesnt mean anything at home.
August-December
We sent a merchant to Flanders to see how it does there we still have one in Venice. In September we proposed a royal marriage to Spain and they accepted. The kings cousin was betroved. Many troop movements in England happened this month. We sent another merchant to Flanders but only put a merchant from Cologne out of business and still have none there. Stability rose again and I have high hopes for our country for its recovered well. Pskov made peace with Kazan (79D in tribute).
This is my first AAR I know i don't sound Scottish but its the best i can do.
Also can someone message me if there is a way to put screenshoots on this.
I may not do to well and it may come to being destroyed.
