True :D This is the next update,Lajos II (who will die on 1568,as he never fought the Turks at Mohacs;I also modified his stats to 5/3/7) leads a Hungarian army to confront a much larger German one,and Koln falls.

Nobegow:Sorry I missed you before,anyway I probably won't expand that far...'till the Age of Colonialism really starts ;) I don't plan to take out either on the continental stage,I may be richer soon but they're still too strong.

So,here goes the update:

Landsberg,Lajos II of Hungary:

Lajos rode up the hill and shouted to his men,"March!You soldiers are too slow!If the Turks hadn't been defeated by the Romans and I had to meet them at Mohacs,I would've died!" angrily,as they were quite far behind him.

Eventually,the Hungarian force,numbering 26,000 men in all (14,000/12,000/0) arrived on the hill.Lajos set up camp down the hill,and spread his forces out into two single-file lines/colummns,led by Janos Szapolyai.He (Lajos) was going to command the right wing,while a Spanish mercenary nmed Major General,Carlos,commanded the left.

The German force,numbering 34,000 men in all under the command of Albert of Brandenburg,who had been expelled from the Teutonic Order for converting to Protestantism and declaring his Order secular (pretty ahistorical,eh? :D ),arrived the next day to meet Lajos' army.However,Albert's troops had hardly enough time to pitch camp before Lajos ordered a charge.

The battle was long and brutal.Szapolyai sent his right colummn down too quickly and they met a bloody storm of musket fire from the Germans.The colummn was entirely wiped out and Szapolyai was going to be removed from his command later by a furious Lajos II.Carlos,at this time,decided to open fire at the Germans.

Albert had his men rush up the hill,where Lajos' and Carlos' forces open fired on them.Many Germans died as a barrage of musket fire blasted their lims or organs off or out of their bodies,followed by a rush of blood.Szapolyai,meanwhile,had secretly snuck behind the German force and charged at them from behind with all of his cavalry.

The following charge created great chaos and confusion in the German army.They met their death,either from musket fire or the sabre of a Hungarian cavalryman.Only Albert and a few thousand men made it back to the German camp,where they were besieged for eleven days before sneaking out at night and making it back to Stettin.

Koln,Jeanne,Zikmund and Gebhard:

"Ah,it feels so good to taste victory,"Zikmund laughed.He and his men had taken down Koln,altough Jeanne and Gebhard had also aided him."Yes,well,that wasn't possible without my help;when we partition Germany,I want a slice of it,"Gebhard said confidently."I also want a piece,but only so that at least some of these people can be converted back to the true faith,"Jeanne said quietly.

The people of Koln retreated to thier houses and buildings in the city as the tree leaders walked through the streets of Koln proudly.Zikmund climbed up to the top of Koln's Palace to throw off the flag of Germany there,and raised the flag of Romanist Bohemia there.Koln had fallen to the Romanists.

Meanwhile,Gebhard went to Magdeburg,where he was,unfortunately,killed by a solid musket ball as his army was beaten back to Koln.Jeanne attacked Rostock,and was more successful there as the Geramns were beaten back to Magdeburg.

I always find it amusing that in WW2 the Germans were known as the Huns. Well, the huns won, and the germans weren't happy about it! ;) Jeanne is quite the general.

Alright,here's the next update,Jeanne's first defeat and capture since Compiegne,Richard gets seriously pi**ed off,and RB and Hungary pull out of the war...only so that Lajos can annex RB.

Aalborg,Jeanne:

"Come on men,let's go!"Jeanne shouted to her troops,who were sluggishly moving across the cold winter.She had recently captured Rostock from the Germans,who pulled out of the war,losing all of its southern provinces to Austria,Koln to the Romanists,Kustrin to Hungary and Mecklenburg + Stettin to England.

The bitter winter swept across the lands near Aalborg.Jeanne herself had almost frozen to death crossing a frozen river,which broke under her weight.Suddenly,an actual Danish army showed up and charged at the English forces from behind.Quickly surrounded,Jeanne's forces fought for a few hours--2 at most--before breaking and fleeing.Many drowned running over a newly-frozen lake.

Jeanne herself fought to the bitter end,remaining in the rear and killing at least 40 Danes before being shot off her horse,knocked unconcious with a heavy club to the head and dragged off to be taken as prisoner.When Richard hears about this,he will seriously lose his temper.

Lappland,Richard III 'the Merciless':

"Oh my God,are you serious?!"Richard shouted at the wine-covered soldier,who didn't wipe himself."Yes I am,Queen Jeanne is captured and most likely dead...why'd you spit your wine all over me,oh almighty King of England?"the man said annoyedly.Richard didn't answer to this,but instead began to scream and roar his head off senselessly.He began smashing objects in fury,his face turning beet red from the anger.

The soldier,looking on in terror,ran out of the tent in fear.Richard kept on roaring and screaming and smashing objects in blazing rage until he finally calmed down from exhaustion,unable to say anything as his throat hurt when he tried to say something.His legs shaking,he fell backwards,panting and breathing very hard.

Eventually,he fell unconscious from exhaustion.A single tear fell from his eyes before he collapsed...thus proving that he was not always the big,strong and fearless man with no tears that he had claimed to be so long ago.

Budapest,Lajos II and Zikmund:

"So,Lajos,why'd you call me here?Are you calling for another war?"Zikmund said cheerfully.He had recieved only Koln,but that was quite enough for him.Lajos II said coldly,"I came here to propose annexation.Of course,I mean my Kingdom annexes yours,".Zikmund stared at him for a bit before breaking out in laughter.

"Ha ha,that's a good one,"Zikmund said between laughs."I'm serious,"Lajos grumbled,",do you want to be annexed or die?".Zikmund immediately stopped laughing and said in a hard tone,"Obviously no,I turn this offer down,"."I'll ask you one more time...be annexed,or else.".he pulled out a sabre and pointed it at Zikmund's neck.

Sweating,Zikmund said,"Promise me a lot of money...a richly decorated estate...and maybe appoint me Gubernator...only then will I accept,"."Fine,"Lajos sighed,",except for the last part.I choose the Gubernators.I don't want to be marked as a European pariah anyway,".

From that time on,Romanist Bohemia had been permanently incorporated into Hungary,forming the Kingdom of Bohemia-Hungary.Again...Magyars triumph!

The Danes are going to pay, and I feel are going to keep on paying long past the point of forgetting what precisely they are being punished for.

Very true Duke,luckily she does survive,but I had to pay 300d as ransom...before that,I took out a loan.As soon as the war's over though,Richard and her abdicate in "Abdication of the Royalty",so now Harold IV rules the country.In the actual game,Interregnum (1/1/1) is the monarch,representing another dynastic struggle.

Unfortunately no,I tried this morning and the game crashed :( :( :(

Here's one of the most disastrous events I made up,just from an in-game POv though:

"The heir of Harold IV

Since his untimely death in 1686 while defending Tehuantepec from the Spanish,Harold had never had any heirs.Altough Mary XI,a Plantagenet and his cousin,would normally be considered a proper heir,Harold passed a law that said that no female relative or offspring of his could take the throne,shortly before his heroic death on the walls of Tehuantepec.Mary,absolutely outraged,went to Spain for support.The Spanish,long time enemies of the Anglo-Saxons since Harold II Godwinson the Great had an argument with the Spanish king,found a fanatically loyal and desparate servant in Mary,and agreed to give her full support.
This was met with staunch resistance from the English and the French,Irish and even Scottish minorities in the English Empire,all of whom supported Harold V 'the Fearless',who almost died from a seemingly-fatal wound at Tenotchitlan when the city was besieged by Spain's forces.Despite his wounds,he still drove to fight on and eventually drove off the Spanish,thus gaining him this epithet.England believed that he was the rightful king of England,and no-one really wanted to become Spanish vassals.However,Harold V had been declared a bastard and illegitimate son by his father during a period of mental illness,and Spain has threatened us with its Armada,the largest navy seen in Europe yet.What shall we do?"

So then...I fought Spain at -3 stab with an unpaid loan that I've extended three times,and the breakaway state 'Rebel England',under Mary's government,broke free and took control of all of Ireland,save for Desmond,who's an ally and vassal of mine and also owns Leinster in addition to Munster.

Thankfully,this showed up:

"King Charles VI of Burgundy swears loyalty to King Harold V

Having recently re-conquered the rebellious Dutch and retaken Antwerp and Brussels from Spain,who had previously annexed the autonomous counties 'to strengthen Habsburg power',the Kingdom of Burgundy is now the sole power in the Netherlands and wields a powerful influence in France.Charles VI of Burgundy wanted an excuse to drive the Spaniards from the Low Countries once and for all,and to do that he would have to retake Arras from them.As the sole bulwark of the Spanish Empire in the Low Countries,Arras had been heavily fortified with triple moats,mighty walls designed to hold off even the strongest of cannon fire,and a large garrison.For the perfect excuse,Charles VI said that Spain had no right to interfere in English politics,and used this as a casus belli to ally himself with England and attack Spain with Papal approval,which the Pope granted him.".

That event got me Burgundy as vassals,allies,restored my stab to +1 and got me some money,100d to be exact.They,of course,joined me in the war against Spain.

Finally,this showed up after I took most of the Spanish colonies and destroyed the Spanish Armada,while Burgundy inflicted disastrous defeats on Spain continentially:

"The defeated Spaniards and Mary's fate

With their once mighty Armada completely annihalated by English fleets,most of their colonies occupied by England and the Burgundians having retaken Arras after a lengthy siege,Spain had little choice but to withdraw from the war and pay a hefty price to England in gold while surrendering Arras and the Artois region to Burgundy.Unaided by the Spanish,Mary's pitiful and scattered little armies did not hold for long in face of an Anglo-Burgundian storm.Altough they had constantly raided English borderlands,they were made up mainly of a mix of levied peasants,green recruits and bribed brigands,and were not trained or equipped to fight against an organized regular force.Mary's armies were all annihalated or disbanded themselves and the former miltants scattered,and Mary was captured when Connaught fell to the Loyalists.What shall we do to her?Should we burn her at the stake,which would greatly please the people and especially the nobility,or should we force her into becoming a nun?'.

Well,I chose Down with this traitor! instead of Force her into celibacy!,so...+2 stab,+ 1 Aristocracy,,inherit Rebel England,+100d and +1 BB... :D Right now,Harold V (5/5/9) is the monarch of my country and a good leader (3/4/5/1).

Yeah,only I had to fix out a ton of bugs.There's still quite a lot hanging around,and CTDs happen often :( I probably won't have enough time to start an update tonight,I'll get it done tomorrow.In my 'prototypical' game as the WRE,I made it to WWI and ensured an ahistorical ending.The Allies win,yet Austro-Hungary never fell apart,the Hohenzollerns of Germany quickly regained power and the Bolsheviks lost :p
