I'm not 100% sure for the time I took that screenshot (I have already played some more years), but the current situation in GB is: GB, Scotland, Leinster, Ireland, Northumberland and York
Hmmm... Why not
There are Syria and Persia (they have exatly the same colour)

Part 29:
We decided to DOW Khandesh (more or less only to get nicer borders) and later Deccan for the same reasons. Both are quickly defeated (we still remain in war with Vijayanagar), so it was time to accomplish our mission and take Baluchistans capital Makaran:
We made a slider move toward innovative:
Soon Baluchistan ceded Makaran and we got a new mission. Also Vijayanagar and Khiva (who joined Baluchistan) accepted our peace offers:
Kutch revolted and Spain gave us a CB:
We cancelled the idiotic naval race and got the tasj to improve our defenses, at the same time Rhodos became a core and Sinopes culture changed to greek:
Another agricultural revolution happened and Baroda was converted. Also the fortification was finished and new ones needed to be build:
Our quality wool exports have brough some more money in our treasury and we gained another military mission (Asyut is already in Spanish hands, so the war is unavoidable - even more then before):
Konya changed its faith to catholic but was quickly reconverted:
Our newest COT wasn't really paying off. The reason for it was another COT to near to ours, so we DOWed Baluchistan to conquer Bihar (and of course a land connection to it):
After a series of bloody battles (and a lot of successful sieges) they finnally accepted our peace demands:
Also Vijanyanagar had to pay for their interference and Bihars COT was immediatly destroyed:
A road had been build in Serbia:
We decided that our teritorys had to be connected (at least by a vassal) and so we declared war on Khiva:
A Boundry dispute gave us a core on an African province, which was currently owned by Syria. Also our infamy which has significantly increased in the last years (though we haven't exceeded the limit) encouraged rebel sentiments:
Battles were won easily without heavy losses (on our side) and in the meantime Luristan became our newest core, soon Khiva gave the provinces we wanted up:
Milan was therewhile in war with Austria (we hadn't received a call to arms), so we had to help them and used the alliance CB to declare war on Austria:
Will we be abel to fight an advanced centraleuropean power? Can we defeat their death stacks? They have the better units (although we've reached lvl 21 in land technology, - the most advanced nation have only 22 - the difference between latin and eastern units is obvious) and this declaration of war was made extremely early (most of our forces are to far away to come there in time, less then half of our army is ready in Europe), because they had already captured nearly all Italian provinces from Milan. How will this epic conflict turn out?

if you have more manpower than the Austrians, victory is yours.
It'll be really hard this time, not only most of my army isn't in Europe at the time, also all vassals are with nearly all soldiers somwhere near Arabia.
We'll see how it'll turn out...
Cavalry will be your best offense against the storm that is at hand! OK, that was a sucky paraphrase.
Their infantry is already to advanced, I can only win if I outnumber them or right after they assaulted a fortress (or maybe if they get really bad terrain modifiers)
Part 30:
The first battles seemed promising, since our Italian forces picked the smaller stack besieging different provinces and soon the first Austrians were defeated. But in the same time our greek stack arrived in the north, where the biggest Austrin army was positioned lead by von Habsburg himself. The plan was to get them to pursue our army and let them die slowly from atrition, but unfortunatly it turned out that their monarch had an very high maneuver skill and so our army couldn't retreat fast enough and was whiped out in the first battle:
During one fight Astria decided, that they need to combine their forces in Italy and sended the nearest stacks to reinforce the one we were attacking and because those north Italin provinces are small they arrived before we were abel to retreat with our soldiers our moral was critically low reinforcements were on their way but our army was defeated in Abruzzi, before the fresh men arrived (They were one week to late):
More bad news came when Milan accepted Austrian peace demands (hopefully our intervention at least made the Habsburgs sue for peace earlier). At the same time Austrias allys asked for a white peace which we accepted and soon also von Habsburg accepted our offer for a white peace (we had fought longer but since Milan was already in peace we decided it would be better to finish this war for now and attack them later when our armys will be rebuild, more men will come from India and Arabia and also our vassals had no soldiers in their home lands, because they were also still moving back from the latest war):
In the following (short) peace time another core was gained through an Boundary dispute and the religion in Khuzestan changed to Catholic. At the same time Asssam, one of the countries which we released during one of the last wars, formed a personal union with Ming :
Soon the peace time ended, because Milan declared war on the Mameluks and of course we joined. Syria took leadership of the war on the enemy side. many other events also happened and after some time Assam declared war, too, but this time we dishounored our alliance, because of the huge stability hit we would have taken. Gondwana thought it would be a good time to reconquer their provinces, fools:
Battles against all opponents went nearly without losses on our side, whereas the enemy armys were destroyed. Milan soon annexed the Mameluks:
During that time Bohemia passed the last reform and unified whatever was left of the Holy roman Empire:
After some months both Syria and Gondwana were tottally defeated and had to accpet our generous peace offers:
It was time for our conquest of India to continue, because our infamy finnally fell enough to take most of the remaining land in South India, so we DOWed Vijayanagar. they accepted our peace just in the time we got new cores on some provinces, which was our for 50 years:
After the war it was time to change our slider and we went towards innovative:
Soon many provinces in Arabia became our cores and we declared war on Khornan, because they had two provinces, which was also our cores (Boundary disputes). They were quickly defeated and we conquered the lands we wanted:
In China therewhile Korea managed to grow bigger then I've ever seen:
More events and another declaration of war by Milan happened during the next months. We captured Venice once more, but because our infamy was to high to vassalise them we only increased our treasury. Soon after this war ended they started another. But they soon accepted peace (for only 3 gold). Also one of two provinces left in India defected to us (we financed rebels there, because it was land locked, surrounded by us and we would have taken it in the last peace deal with vijanyanagar, but it would have cost altogether 101 warscore - I normally don't use rebels, but in this situation I financed them for the nicer border and because I would have gained it either way soon):
after we were at peace again more religious events happened and the holy land became our core and we took another NI. We had coosen Viceroys, to increase the income from our colonies in India:
As a side note: The personal union between Assam and Ming ended after a few years

Let's hope HRE shall teach Austrians some manners.
Don't worry I'll take care of them, I'll take revenge for those armys lost in that war.
Wow. That is a tiny HRE. Usually very few countries split off from it during the Revoke Privilegia thing.
Because of Bohemias size when they Revoked the privilegia, I think that they had rather high infamy, so there was only their OPM vassal left in the HRE (Silesia, who were a vassal before they revoked the privilegia)
On the other hand, Austria is worryingly growing. Not that you can't handle it, you've shown you could, but it would be interesting to see them going after Bohemia/HRE now and bloody each other
You'll soon have to dance the dance again with the Austrians, hopefully when you choose! Some good advances in India and the Bohemians form the empire.

Austria had already won a major war against Bohemia and I don't think that they would have many problems crushing them another time
They will pay for what they've done
OK:
