The Grey Blob just seems to like pressing you further and further east. Has the Golden Horde converted yet?
A very interesting update - and good to see a Lithuanian victory in a battle against the Empire.
Hopefully this will breed more successes for Girdenis and his descendants.

Nice to finally be scoring points on the Big Grey Blob! Are you actually winning the war though, or just holding your own? I get the impression the HRE can put together 43,000 more men faster than you can find 17,000.
I think that was your best update yet mnplastic. It's always nice to see someone land a blow against the HRE behemoth.
I somehow missed this very interesting AAR. Subscribed!
Appease two of them, imprison the third, and when the fourth rebels, crush him ^^
| The Order of Rook Warriors of Rook are followers of Kovas. Their main weapon is a sword. In 1213, Lithuanian Grand Duke and Krivis of Kovas, Dangerutis was captured by Livonian crusaders and imprisoned in Wenden castle. Dangerutis killed himself with his sword. Lithuanians later recovered the sword and dedicated the sword to Kovas. Soon the Order of Rook was established. The sword is carried into every single battle by a Krivis of Kovas for Kovas to revenge for Dangerutis death. Warriors of the order fight on foot or horses. The knights of the order are also known as the Knights of the Black Stallion. |
Six wives? How many children did he have?
Good to see you were able to get a white peace. Surely this is a sign of Lithuania's growing standing in the world?
I like the clean style of the early posts and the extra info about the culture. The origin story seems almost too Christian, but I guess it wasn't written down til well after the missionaries had been through. Anyway, good work.I have added some information about Lithuanian ancient gods at the beginning of each chapter and incorporated some further information into the main text.
That was really interesting. I can't claim to have known anything about the Ancient Gods, so that certainly makes the whole thing seem a bit more 'real.'

Great to see this one come back to life. Keep up the good work!
YAY! Back! I hope to see you continue your HOI3 AAR's to at some point, your Luxemburg one was the first AAR I read! Anyway good update, and I am really happy to see you coming back again!
Vėjopatis (wind) – the god of sea and winds. He lives on the High Mountain between two rivers. He is scorching, unrelenting, described as an evil spirit, bearded, with wings, and two faces, with a cock on a head, fish in a left hand and pot in the right hand. This god is a vindictive and does not like those who enter his holdings. His biggest temple is in Klaipėda. Once people angered Vėjopatis. He caused storms and huge waves. God Karvaitis’ daughter Neringa stood up to defend people. She scooped up sand to her apron, carried to the sea, and poured into water. Where sand fell there dunes rose until a long spit was formed. |
How have I missed this until today?! Excellent AAR, definitely subscribed.
Really nice AAR. Looking forward to more!
