I should have pictures next time when my own PC arrives. But in short I've been murdering my heirs, and my heirs are rebelling against me. Meanwhile I burned Venice's fleet and gained dominance over the Mediterranean. Eating up the Mamelukes and their petty allies.
Next session I hope to make some moves against Hungary.
Business as usual in Popeland. Went about vassalising alter boys minor Italian powers. Here's to hopping that the AI can handle a war against a one province minor without maxing out war exhaustion for no apparent reason
As the Ottomans continue to expand into Europe. The forces of France and The Commonwealth extend their influence aggressively. Austria is my one true enemy and destroying them is key to taking the Balkans. I've released Bosnia from Ragusa, and crippled Hungary greatly by breaking their alliance with Austria. I found myself at war with Austria after declaring war on Genoa for the small island off the coast of Istanbul. After constant warfare of attrition and skirmishes. I was able to surround their soldiers at their capital of Wien.
After the war was finished and the island came under my control. I moved to conquer more of Egypt after recovering from the wars against Hungary and Austria. Egypt was nothing more then an ant to me and was quickly dispatched. My control over the Mediterranean was growing nicely.
I've noticed that the Commonwealth found themselves at war with Austria a few years later due to Brandenburg's greed for Saxony. Seeing this as my chance to further my plans. I declared war on Hungary who was allied to Austria, but not Spain.
After constant backs and forths, and numerous skirmishes. Brandenburg peaced out while Austrian troops were still in Commonwealth land. Leaving my backdoor wide open. Thanks to the multiple layers of forths, it wasn't quite easy getting to me. Pushing back Bosnia from Crimea, and Hungary/Papal States from Greece. I moved to corner the combined forces of Austria/Hungary/Papal States.
Due to superior Ottoman tech and strong discipline. I was able to wipe out their forces.
Cancelling Austria's treaties with Spain and Hungary. I look forward to further Balkan gains in the future.
