Giving Poland cores on Danzig and Warmia would be better compensation imo, since with a player those would defo be done, and are more important compensation for AI stupidity

Cores would be a better option than mass constables I agree.

Btw, was thinking we add some cultural tradition too, since he has none. like 35% or so

agree with tradition.

I cannot catch a mother****ing break these days....

At 6pm I gotta got to the airport, which means I can only play 2 hours. I was ****ing looking forward to playing for hours but nooooooooooooooooo. I will fix stupid France and then give it back to the demented AI to break it again...

History of Milan, 1428-1459

Despite beginning his reign with a promise of economic development and peace, King Galeazzo Maria I Massimo almost immediately found himself embroiled in a war. The brutal 4th War of Milanese Intervention was fought alongside Milan's steadfast allies the Austrians against Poland and Lithuania, with the stated war aims being to recover two bavarian provinces that rightfully belonged in the Holy Roman Empire. As the war spread several other smaller states join in on the side of Poland, all were however inconsequential except for the small state of Bar... who happened to be allied with belligerent France.

The declaration of war from France and her ally Castille against Milan caught the King's court completely unprepared. Diplomats were immediately sent to Paris to discover the meaning of this outrage and were told it was "for the monies". Arguments were made that any "monies" that could be gained as an outcome for this war likely would not offset the cost, but the foolish French king did not listen, and so the war was on.

The theater of the 1st French Interventionary War was solely north-western Italy. Spanish troops landed in Parma on the coast while three large French armies crossed the Alps and began the siege of Lombardia. Milan had two Armies in the area but were currently outnumbred by the combined french-castillian forces (france had around 25k initially and reinforced with another 15k later, Castille landed with ~14k and then again with another 14k later, Milan had only 20k troops in the area). Peace was quickly made with Poland, unfortunately only securing one of the two provinces that were wanted, and the veteran armies of Milan and Austria began the long trek to the new front lines.

First to arrive were a force of 10,000 Austrian reserves who had been in Austria proper at the beginning of the war. Taking advantage a tactical error on the part of the French, with the Austrian's guarding its retreat, the 20,000 stong Milanese Armata di Roma launched an assault on the 14,000 Castillian troops sieging Parma. The main French forces were several provinces away and unable to immediately reinforce the suddenly vulnerable Castillian position. They did immediately begin marching on Parma, abandoning the siege of Lombaria, only barely arriving in time to save the Castillian army from total destruction. While Milan technically lost the 1st Battle of Parma as they were forced to surrender the field in the face of superior numbers of French forces, the Milanese armies retreated in good order with their morale intact leaving the shattered remains of the Castillian force behind (I think all told the castillian army lost around 13k men, I lost around 8k).

Reinforcements from both sides arrived on the front in the following months and a new plan was drawn up for an assault on the reinforced Castillian army in Parma now totaling almost 20 thousand men. Once again the French were caught out of position as the assault force led by over 20,000 Austrian troops and 14,000 Milanese troops crushed the Castillian lines in Parma. A simultaneous battle was fought in Lombardia where a mere 2,000 Pisan troops were holding off a massive french army of almost 30,000 men, the entirety of the French forces in the theater. Somehow the Pisan troops held their ground for two weeks until two reinforcing Milanese armies arrived and caught the French force in the rear. The Battle of Lombardia quickly turned into a slaughter as French troops were thrown into a panic and massacred by the thousands.



What fight the Castillian and French forces had left in them was shattered in the followup Battles of Cremona and Piedmont as they desperately attempted to flee from the Austrian and Milanese forces. With Castille's entire army encircled in Lombardia facing total anhillation from the oncoming Austrian force, and the entire French army fleeing across the Alps away from the relentlessly pursuing Milanese forces, the two belligerents sued for peace. Despite the near total victory of Milan and Austria France and Castille were only forced to pay war reparations of 300 gold each. "A gift" as it was described King Galeazzo, not wanting to further antagonize the two powers.

With the war concluded Milan turned its attention to consolidating its economic and strategic position in Italy. In addition to great economic strides the provinces of Ferrara (a vassal state diplomatically annexed in 1428 shortly before the war), Istria (sold by the Austrians in payment of Milanese assistance in the war against Poland), and Schwyz (province taken from Switzerland) were incorporated into the growing Kingdom of Milan. At one point King Galeazzo was excommunicated by the pope, who was doubtlessly fed lies by the evil lithuanian cardinals who controlled the Curia. In response King Galeazzo invoked the Statute in Restraint of Appeals, naming himself the supreme authority of the Church in Italy. His first act was to begin taxing the clergy, as was his divine right. King Galeazzo Maria I Massimo died on 6 October, 1440.

The short intervening Regency saw Milan through yet another war assisting her allies Austria against Poland. However as the Regency only lasted two years not much of note was accomplished.

The Reign of King Massimilano I Massimo (really that's his name)

King Massimilano ascended to the throne of Milan on September 30, 1442. Like his father Massimilano wished to expand the economic strength of Milan, which was falling behind the other empires. Unlike his father, he saw fit to do this via military means and launched a brutal series of wars on the Italian Peninsula.

The 1st War of Milanese Aggression was an unprovoked attack on a Venice greatly weakened by their recent war against the Ottomans and Portgual. While the Milanese Navy held the bay 14 thousand Milanese troops crossed into Venezia and swiftly occupied the city. Venice was annexed soon after and all its wealth began flowing into Milan's coffers. The Milanese Conquest of St. Gallen saw yet another Swiss province ceded to Milan, as well as the annexation of Genoa who had foolishly joined the war. Pisa was quickly annexed as well, diplomatically this time. However her neighbor was not so lucky and was annexed by force in 1454. The two province minor of Wuttemburg was also attacked and made a vassal.

As of 1459 Milan stands as a true European power. With a navy strong enough to contest the Mediterranean and a standing army capable of taking on any other European power Milan stands strong. However, she is running out of places to expand as the remaining states in Italy steadily fall and her border states, like Switzerland, steadly fall under the control of other powers. Like it or not, Milan's future almost certainly involves more clashes with the other Great Powers of Europe. Time will tell if her luck holds.

lol mali

Sorry I didn't chat that much this game, one of my housemates was interested in it so I was telling him about it. If he gets the game he'd probably like to play a non-important country next week.


History of England, 1428-1459, Intrigue in Scandinavia

England began in a less than enviable position at the start of 1428. Its poor ruler had left it behind in the tech race and had lost its French possessions. Its main hope was to expand westward in search of the new world, pouring most of the country's income into trade tech, which was already at 5. It began well, the war with Norway provided a poor and backward province in Iceland, which would be useful for exploring west.

Unfortunately for the next 10 years or so, all research was stalled due to constant stability hitting events allowing most other countries to overtake England. Norway declared war again, so the other Icelandic province was taken for good measure. Later on Norway wanted another fight, so the Orkneys and a province in their mainland were also taken. Scotland was also annexed.

With lots of prestige from capturing Norway's lands, Denmark without an heir was ripe for a claim to their throne. When their king died there was a glorious personal union between the two countries. For about a month. Denmark cancelled the alliance and declared their independence immediately. Thanks.

Denmark would easily be taken back with help from our trusted Swedish allies who we had been allied to since the start of the game, 200 relations, who trusted us implicitly. Or not. They decided to side with Denmark, which made things annoying. Denmark was captured anyway and returned to a glorious personal union. After Sweden somehow declared war on them and stole a province, then Hansa gobbling up most of the remaining provinces. Good job two-province Denmark on getting out of that personal union.

Things are looking up for the English, there is a new ruler who isn't useless, inflation is going down, the quest for the new world has allowed us to colonise Greenland, meet (and kill) peoples of the new world. With such low infamy, there will also be more conquests in Europe next week.

If he gets it he could be Sweden, they are 10th in income and just vassalized norway. You could give your norweigan/baltic **** to him and ive be willing to give him skane for good relations. Only problem is he doesnt really have anywhere to expand and would mean more competition for you in America. I guess he could go for baltics and poland. Alternatively he could be poland i guess although poland got hurt a bit. Or maybe India

OR INVADE RUSSIA!

History of Portugal, 1428-1431

btw, I never awarded AAR rewards for last week, so everybody who did one for the 1st session just PM me. I believe the rewards offered were either 2 magistrates or 10 culture/land/naval tradition. But if everybody starts screaming bloody murder they'll probably change.

Sweden is my Ally... Not for too long though since I want Neva back. And Poland is not safe either when I go for Lithuania

anyone wanna start another game with me?

I can play in 2 hours from now

If someone is interested, I'd be up for some scenario too, like this one I like:

Europe has been wiped out by a plague and now the muslims want to colonize everything.


Or this one where Europe is very fractured:

Can't play because its football day but what mods are those?
