Once again I am surprised at the ai's success in winning the HYW. It's rare in my games.

CSK --> Well, the Spanish went bankrupt a bit back, might still be recovering. Burgundy is allied, not vassalized. Then again, they are almost 4X the size of Austria. They have 15 provinces, to Austria's 4!
Duke of Wellington --> Technicaly they lost the HYW, and gave up the claim. :wacko:
Subsequent wars they are winning well.
All --> Blobs are forming, but who will come out on top?
Any guesses?
Bavaria and the Papal States have a shot at it, but will they hit or miss?
The French have practically no chance of colonization at this point, but can they come back?
Bremen looks strong, but so far they have not held up well to pressure...
Albania and Moldova have decent empires going, can they challenge Hungary?
Sweden controls much of Scandinavia, can they take more?

Albania and Moldova doing well? Thats odd.
I expect France is finished in practice. Bavaria will probably get eaten by the BWB. Bremen will fall victim to a coalition of its neighbours.

Albania and Moldova were in wars with allies against OE, and got the sieges first.
Sweden could be a threat later, same with Spain.

England Through the Ages
1419 - 1819
On April 10, 1483, Edward V was declared king of England, following the death of Edward IV. Edward the IV died of an unknown disease. Edward V would reign for two months and 17 days. On June 27 Richard, Duke of York, would come to the throne.*
January 23 the next year England captured Mecklneburg, thanks to the arrival of Norfolk**. Attacks on Swedish Finland would succeed, only capturing Nyland however. Richard would remove the forces, many consider this a mistake. On April 1 Mecklenburg was annexed. This brought new prosperity to the English merchants, as they had a guarantied location to trade at.
May 30 had Hannover declaring war on Brandenburg, England would leave the alliance, and avoid another war. The reasons are twofold. First was that the English were tiring of war, and wanted out. Second was that many European kings grew tired of the belligerent ways of the English kings, and could barely stand them. In other words, the English wanted to avoid another pointless war.
The next day Brandenburg joined England in alliance, but England refused to join in Brandenburg’s wars, and the already existing wars would continue. In late January of 1485 political and economic changes would sweep England. First was that the king supported Middle-class Bureaucrats, to negligible effect. The king would create the Court of the Star Chambers. Last was the commissioning of many Justices of the Peace. They were hoped to bring the population in line.
*Note that IRL Richard Duke of York never came to the throne, as reagent or otherwise.
**Which Norfolk (presumably among the Dukes of Norfolk) is unknown.

Duke of Wellington --> Plenty. English domination of France guaranteed, strengthening hold in Central Europe...
stnylan --> All those troops to be raised, paid for, sent away to meet their fate, and the discontent of the populace... Very disrupting.
All --> Around 1500 I'll post some maps of the world.
Burgundy was annexed by Austria. Austria had no land connection!

Meynolds said:
That happens by event. Austria could be a one province minor on its last legs and that would (probably) happen.
'the English were tiring of war' How can this be? It's not even 70 years of war. They fought a war of hundred years; the stamina of these young whippershappers just is not what it used to be.
Catknight --> I know. Just that Austria almost quadrupled their size.
Note to self: Annex Austria ASAP as Burgundy.
Chief Ragusa --> Technically it has been 148 years of war.
Stamina indeed!
Hundred Years War began in 1337, and has been near constant warfare since.

the hundred year war was somthing like 116 years long but it wasnt constant war it was on and off... just so we can all be clear about that
o yeah must not forget good AAR mate nice to see a british/english one

Sir Sean --> I know that, just forgot to include that.
In that case 130 years of war, maybe 120, at most.

England Through the Ages
1419 - 1819
On August 22 The Battle of Bosworth Field was fought, this being the descisive battle of the Wars of the Roses. The present king, Richard III, should have had 15,500 men, but ended up with 6,000. Lord Thomas Stanley and Sir Willian Stanley would betray in mid battle, losing Richard III 7,500 men. They would fight for Henry Tudor (Henry VII). The Earl of Northumberland would not join in combat, with his 3,000 men. The results were clearly in Henry Tudor’s favor.
Richard III would die on the battlefeild, with a sword through his chest. He would be the last king to die in battle. He ended up losing 900 men, and Henry Tudor lost 100. Henry Tudor was crowned the next day, beginning the Tudor Dynasty. He would be renamed King Henry VII.
King Henry VII, his abilities, and his nation!

Not that bad, but it could be better. And a nice nation he has, though I'm more impressed by Aragon. What is the grey in Champagne?
CSK --> Why so impressed with Aragon?
The grey in Champagne is Mainz.
stnylan --> Definitively. Next is a decent monarch, then a bad one, then a good one, and then a near perfect one.

Ah, Mainz it is. Aragon looks like it own all the south of Spain plus Portugal. I could be wrong though. Well, a world map would be nice.
