Chapter Six: The BBBBBBBBBB (The Big Bad Beating of the Big Bad Blue Blob, Bringing BadBoy

Ok, maybe too many B's.

Salzburg is a OPM right on our borders. It's guaranteed by Switzerland and Wurttemberg. This calls for expanding!

March 1444 - Salzburg Annexed

Bye bye!

September 1444 - Peace with Wurttemberg & Switzerland

And now the most satisfying part:

AUSTRIA! I'M COMING FOR YOU!

October 1445 - Austria OPM'd


peaceaustria.jpg


Austria, as a threat, is gone. Nothing can stop the Pope!

And then we decide to demote him.

Relations between The Papal State and The Papal State changed by -100. Okay?

Our mission is to annex Avignon. Burgundy doesn't join, France joins. But France is in troubles fighting against England, Castille, Burgundy and Bohemia.

August 1447 England makes peace with France:

We attack Bourbonnais. England doesn't join (seriously, wtf?).

Burgundy also demands independence for Guyenne. We DoW them.

January 1448 we peace out with Burgundy and two months later annex Avignon:

June 1448 - Bourbonnais annexed

French doomstack of 25,000 men is beaten up by the combined forces of Bohemia and Papal State.

August 1448 - Peace with Guyenne

Next years go peacefully with sieges, until March 1450, when Hungary DoW's us.

November 1450 - Hungary OPM'd

peacehungary.jpg


They deserve it. They had a death wish when they DoW'd us, now they die.

One year later, all good comes to an end:

November 1451 - Peace with France

Frustating! We fought for many years and only get few provinces!

Anyway, here's the Papal State in 1451:

There ye goes.
 
Looks like the Roman Empire... probably ought to go hit the Holy Roman Emperor a few times... don't want some German guy saying he owns your empire
 
Nice object lesson in taking down the Blob. Go Pope!
 
Hmm... I just realized there's one thing preventing me from finishing this WC:

Heir to the Throne. I've only got few weeks left.
 
You're gonna have to be fast! No more school/work for you until you're done! And no eating, drinking or sleeping. Just, Eu3.
 
Maybe you should try to join HRE and become the only member and elector. Then you would have two extra titles to justify your claims for Rome! (Or maybe Eden... ;))
 
Chapter Seven: Three Oceans

This is going to be a really long update, covering 1452-1469.

It all starts with a DoW on Austria. Pommerania is the leader.

And so we DoW Guyenne. Aragon had warned us and enter the war.

No picture this time, so that you've got less images to load.

New opportunities!

frenchpeace5.jpg

September 1465 - Peace with Ukraine

peaceukraine.jpg


We immediately DoW Moldavia and Transsylvania.

February 1466 Transsylvania is annexed.

March 1466 Burgundy attacks us.

burgdow.jpg


We quickly raise a larger army and manage to beat them 23 July 1468.

We get our third NI, it is espionage to gain more spies (more fabricated claims).

peaceburg.jpg


We DoW Baden, triggerin a guarantee from Burgundy.

bad.jpg


Now we have to slow down. Poland as the Emperor isn't something preventing us from continuing, I just want to clear the way first.

August 1469 - Peace with Burgundy


burgdorf.jpg


And that's it. Papal State now has a connection to Black Sea, Mediterranean and Atlantic.
