The first one is a random. The civil war event is historic. But yes - it is fun (if you have the money to pay yourself out of the stab hits, that is... ;))

So there WILL be some 'hard-coded' events?
 
Alvaro DE Luna was trialed and executed in 1453. The issue is more complicated than it seems, because De Luna was the favorite of King Juan and he revolted in fact against the intentions of Kings of Aragon and Castille to arrange a dinastic union between Castille and Aragon, IIRC

Question, do you have the choice in that event? Or do you have to see it as I) you can avoid trouble and give the 200D, fundings are present or II) you lack the funding (no 200D in treasury), automatically leading to the stab. hit.:)

You have the choice... If you lack funds you can allways get a loan... (_if_ you think you can pay it back :))
 
The year of our lord 1439 and the 33rd year in the reign of king Juan II

In january our armies arrieved in Toledo, and engaged the rebels in battle. The fighting lasted for days, but in the end the Rebel Scum was beaten. The civil war was over. For his treason General da Luna was beheaded.

Our merchants successfully expanded our trade in Thrace, Liguria and Flandern.

In the rest of Europe Bavaria declared war upon Croatia, and was joined by Baden, Helvetia and Würzburg. Croatia on the other hand was supported by Sweden and Venice. The people of Corsica declared independence from, and declared war upon, Savoy.

More troops were sent to Antalya.


The year of our lord 1440 and the 34th year in the reign of king Juan II

Following the celebrations of the new year Navarra sent us an insult. The king considered war, but decided to tet the matter rest. Bavaria got back Ansbach from Croatia in the peace settlements.

In the north Sweden broke the Royal Marriage she had with Denmark and declared war. Venice joined the war on the same side as Sweden along with Croatia. Denmark called upon her allies and got support from Teutonic Order, Pommern, Ragusa, Holstein and Naples.

Our merchants are struggling now. Market shares in Liguria, Novgorod and Flandern were lost. To strengthen our trade business we entered a royal marriage with Genoa. Genoa had become quite a power in the mediterranean with control of the provinces of Liguria, Lombardia, Mantua, Istria and Dalmatia.

Our friends in Denmark were doing good. In the peace settlement with Croatia they received 350d in indemnities, the provinces of Karelia, Kola & Arkhangelsk as well as military access. Some of these provinces were not known to us, but after a meeting between our master of carthography and his Danish counterpart we gained knowledge of the north.


The year of our lord 1441 and the 35th year in the reign of king Juan II

Our Royal Marriage with Portugal expired, and we promptly agreed on another. Our Byzantine friends in Constantinople granted us military access to their country. The newly founded country of Corsica accepted peace with Savoy on the following terms : Piemonte to Corsica.

Our forces in Africa were strengthened by the conscription of the new Fez Regiment in Fez. In Asia there were a new uprising in Konya. This was not a major threat, and was soon crushed. In the north Sweden accepted the colony of Kola from Denmark as terms for peace. Sweden in turn gave this to Holstein for peace.


The year of our lord 1442 and the 36th year in the reign of king Juan II

The peasants in Antalya revolted, but were easily beaten.


The year of our lord 1443 and the 37th year in the reign of king Juan II

A longish exchange of letter improved our relations with our allies Cyprus. They should be regarded as the closest of our friends!.

In the orient the Timurid Empire broke the Royal Marriage she had with Uzbek Kaganate and declared war.Golden Horde joined the war on the same side as Timurid Empire in their war against Uzbek Kaganate, while Khazak Horde and Nogai joined the Uzbeks.
 
Do RMs help keep competition down btwn those partners? Why else would you RM to increase your trading position?
 
This new system of being able to receive provinces you don't control in the peace negotiations is really creating big problems, like Corsica getting Piedmont from Savoy, and Castille getting land from one of the turkish nations. The armies of Savoy probably just lost a couple of battles in trying to regain Corsica, and because of this have to cede a landlocked province to them that Corsica has no chance of even dreaming about capturing. This is ridiculous.
I assume that Corsica didn't actually capture the province, because it's not feasable that they would have been able to build up a fleet large enough to transport troops of at least 5,000 men needed to capture a province.
 
The best solution to this problem is to still allow countries to gain provinces they don't control in peace negotiations and to tweek the AI so that it doesn't give up a province or two just because it lost a couple of battles. You could also reduce the number of "negotian points" or whatever their called for winning battles.

I (Castille) had full control of the turkish provinces I got...

Piedmont is (as others have stated) not landlocked but the closest mainland province to Corsica. Savoy had other problems too at the time (war with Helvetia and others (France)) and lost other provinces too...

The AI has been tweaked since I played this game (played this weekend - three patches since!) to mend this.
 
The Turko/Algerian war (1443-1446)

In early december 1443 Castilie, supported by our ally Cyprus, declared war upon Algiers and their allies Turkey.


* The Asian campaign
Immediately after war was declared 1st Murcia Regiment marched from Antalya agains the Turks in Smyrna, and engaged hostile armies there. Our arm was superior both in Moral and numbers, and the battle was easily won. A siege was initiated.

Early in january our army in Konya was attacked by hostile armies of Turkey in Konya, but they were beaten back. Our siege force in Smyrna was also attacked, but with similar result. During 1444 our army in Konya fought six battles with the Turks, and were superior in them all. When Smyrna fell in october they ceded that province to Castile for peace to escape from further humiliation by our forces.


* The African campaign
At the same time 2nd Murcia Regiment has arrived in Al Djazair to fight the Moors. They were beaten, and we initiated a siege in Al Djazair. In february 1444 Fez Regiment arrived in Atlas to initiate a siege.

Meanwhile, Fluta Real arrived in Gulf of Almeria to engaged hostile fleets from Algerie. Our mariners were tired after a long journey from Asia and could not cope with the rested forces of Algerie so they had to retreat to Gibraltar.

In april Nubia joined the war on the same side as Algiers and Turkey. We saw no Nubian troops during the rest of the war. The retreating Algerian armies from the battle of Al-Djazair attacked our defences in Orania, but were met by Fez Regiment and chased again, now into the mountains of Atlas.

In july we engaged the Algerian fleet in several naval skirmishes in Gulf of Almeria, this time with a final victory in early august.
The province of Al Djazair fell to our forces and our victorious troops ravaged the city while the Sultan fled to Kabylia. Fez Regiment pursued the fleeing Moors into the Atlas mountains, and again they were victorious. A siege was initiated.

2nd Murcia Regiment followed the escaping Sultan and arrived in Kabylia in early august to lay siege. Kabylia fell to our power on february 6th. 1445. Again the Sultan slipped away and found refuge in Aures. Again 2nd Murcia Regiment followed. Determined to catch him they arrived in Aures in april where they were ambushed by loyal forces of the Sultan. The troops retreated to Orania to rest and rendevouz with reinforcments from home. Reinforced, and with regained moral the 2nd Murcia regiment again arrived Aures in september 1445. They were met by hostile armies and this time the armies of Castile were victorious.

The forces fleeing from Aures were met by Fez Regiment in Orania. The Algerians were beaten and sent running back into the mountains. These remains of the Algerian army engaged to battle in Aures in late january 1446 and in Orania one month later. Both times our forces were superiour.

In august 1446 the province of Aures fell to Castile, we now controlled the entire realm of the Algerian Sultan. Algiers accepted peace with Cyprus on the following terms : Algiers paied 447d in indemnities and had to give up military access. In the same truce they ceded the provinces of Atlas, Aures and Kabylia to Castile, while the now captured Sultan had to swear obediance and a yearly tribute to the king of Castile. Algiers are now our vassals.

(Here, and particularly in the war agains Turkey, one can see what troop moral have to say. Both changes I have made in domestic policies so far are shifts towards quality.)
 
Sounds like you are arranging the reconstruction oof the Western portion of the Roman Empire! :)
