So Ragusa is the first border with the ottomans. So which is the next? Some where in Syria perchance? or how about Albania, who is in control of that?
What's that with Ragusa? Are they stupid or what? This is ridiculous.
Ridiculously easy, that is.....

Concern
Renss -
I just reached the end of the internet, or at least what is worth reading on it (i.e. your AAR).
While I find your conquest impressive I am concerned about your economic woes: drop in income paired with VERY high inflation (it was 45% in an earlier screen shot - wow). This will cripple every move you can make and with your reliance on minting I see no chance for you but to continue total warfare to bring in the needed income to overcome these factors. I would not worry about conversion unless the province is extremely rich.
As far as BB is concerned - you are WAY beyond the point of worrying here. Just grab as much as you can in every peace deal. It won't make a difference.
I am pleasantly surprised at your success in England. Normally they just sink every fleet sent against them (at least, my fleets
o ).
Does the conversion to protestantism prevent you from getting the boni of holding the holy land? I never tried this. And, what happens to holding Rome as a protestant power?
Continue this bloody mess - although I miss the stories from Fire warms!

Ragusa doesn’t really stand a chance, I am guessing we shall see it annexed within a couple of months, silly one province nation. The war in the Middle East is progressing even better than I thought it would be harder to destroy them, but it seems like the Milanese war machine is just marching forward and destroying all enemies everywhere. This time you should grab the pyramids!
These suicidal minors are weird. I would advice that you vassalize Ragusa. That way you can avoid direct land border with Ottomans (which is sure way to end up in war with them at the worst moment) and get less BB from that war.
Just to tease you guys, in the absence of an update, I'd like to tell you that I played for a while tonight, and just concluded a really cool peace, at the beginning of 1621!
Update tomorrow, hopefully? If not, soon after.

Peace in this AAR? Haha, that was a good joke Renssalaer. :rofl: No seriously, what happened last night? Who declared war?
j/k...Will see how long this peace of 1621 lasts...

:rofl: You almost killed me with laughter. Seriously! I have a really bad cough and i almost coughed my insides out!
Rensslaer: ...That perfect timing resulted in much bloodletting among the Mamluk ranks, as they bled out their strength.
wonderful ! !
Rensslaer: ...But Ragusa failed to recognize that Moscow would be hardly able to access Milanese territory, lacking any land route, and being only able to land troops by sea. It was a puzzling war. But the Emperor knew it offered opportunities.
what were you able to obtain from Moscovy ? ?
Rensslaer: ...Things were already winding down, by August, on both fronts!
most excellent ! !
magnificent update ! !

*crickets chirping*
Did everyone on this thread die? Seriously it's been 9 days since an update and 3 days since the last post. I need to see what happens with Ragusa!

In late summer, Gen. Sforza Testi attacked the Mamluk southern flank at the Nile, south of Cairo, while another army besieged the Mamluk capital.
The Mamluks were more numerous, but his troops were tired. It turned out to be fairly an even match. It dragged on for weeks – a war of attrition.
Testi’s brother, Ontaviano, met the enemy at Adana, on the northern end of the battle front. This was another “even match,” but Testi’s armies were in better shape for combat, and the enemy was hard pressed.
Alexandria finally fell, before the end of August. Mus, to the far north, was being besieged. This was the dismantling of the Mamluk Empire. Or her strength, and will to resist, at least.
Muscovy proved its craftiness when, unable to get its own ships into the Mediterranean, it hired Black Sea privateers to come harass shipping off the Italian coast. The Milanese Navy responded, and drove them off.
Amazingly, a daring Muscovite captain also challenged the Mediterranean cordon. Our navy chased his flyte away from the Italian coastline with two caravels and a barque. The pursuit, and eventual ejection, spread across half the Mediterranean Sea!
Ontaviano Testi was unable to defeat the Mamluks on his first battle at Adana. He withdrew to Aleppo to rest and restore his troopstrength. A skirmish at Damascus, also, was not as successful as was hoped. But that was of small consequence. The enemy was losing.
A small Mamluk foray across the north of Africa was stopped before it began – not to result in the embarrassments of the last war.
Embarrassment was reserved for the Baltic Sea, where the Muscovites had blockaded ports, and we hadn’t anything nearby to contest them. A fleet was being sent from the Mediterranean.
In the midst of all this conflict, the religious situation was improving for Milan. Erfurt converted, and would become a bulwark of right-thinking in the middle of the German countryside. Hopefully, that would result in other German defections to Protestantism.
And, right next to Erfurt, a second missionary is attempting to convert the Catholics of Anhalt, in order to further hasten the reformation of Germany.
Sforza Testi’s war in the sands south of Cairo continued, but was drawing to a close. The enemy was being bled dry.
But, even so, Milanese troops were exhausted too. They withdrew.
To the north, Testi’s brother warred with the last of the Mamluk armies in Syria, with more success. He would soon return to Adana.
Cario finally fell. The enemy was devastated at Aleppo.
By the end of December, the last of Mamluk resistance in Egypt was being ground into dust. The war in Syria continued to do well.
And, as a welcome side note to all the bloodshed, the Tunisian province of Constantine was successfully converted to Protestantism.
