Well done. With those gains the pressure is off on you and simply surviving no longer looks an impossibility.
I do love to see HRE Bohemia on the ropes. They have given me a lot of annoyance over my time playing EU3. Four infamy to get those provinces is certainly a great deal but your infamy is creeping up pretty fast now. Will you quieten down until it is lower?
Well done using the French and getting some rich provinces and the connection. Even though the BB (can I still call it that?) really is nasty.
Huh? I can't believe it - someone actually has doubts about taking down Burgundy, and it's Enewald, the prominent fan of bloodshed, of all people! :rofl:
You have to be cunning when declaring wars, one cunning player does not have to pay a -1 stability to get into a war.
Getting dowed is better than dowing. It makes the game more interesting.
That is REALLY bad. If you still have the personal union with France and want to keep it, you MUST get that excommunication lifted before Louis dies. If he dies and you are still excommunicated, the personal union ends.
My King, Excommunication happened to us.

Malurous: My main issue at the moment is money (only 2 cores), not force limits. I only gain about 30 ducats/year in census taxes.
That did seem obvious - I did ask "how many troops can you support?", not "what is your force limit?" Ok, I admit I was being very unclear. Anyway, I see in the screenshots that you have about 18000 troops, so I guess that's what you can afford.
