Wait till France and Poland come knocking, we are playing with lucky nations, hard difficulty and AI bonus.

I sold my soul to the BBB, it's only a matter of time till it comes round to bite me, but I shall live high til the hounds come knocking down my door.

I'll do a short summary of our all-HRE game.

Human players (ranked according to perceived strength):
1. Imperial Archduchy of Austria,
2. Electoral Kingdom of Bohemia,
3. Traitorous Duchy of Savoy,
4. Greedy Republic of Hansa,
5. Pious Bishopric of Utrecht,
6. Enlightened Duchy of Milan,
7. Aggressive Electorate of Hesse,
8. Poor Devastated Duchy of Pommerania and Memel,

The whole game we were struggling fighting off AI invasions and coalitions, fighting against the odds to expand. Since we are playing on hard/AI bonus/historical lucky and we are mostly minors the challenge comes from trying to survive and expand while not stepping on too many toes. My Hansa has grown by two provinces connecting most of my starting lands and vassalizing three more province worth of minors. Pommerania, my most trusted and stalwart ally, was crushed three times by invading Danish led forces, one time fully occupied too, it has managed to temporarily lose one province only to regain it later together with acquiring one more. Hesse has conquered two provinces, Bohemia has also conquered two and vassalized Brandenburg, Austria has grown a bit but I havent been watching their progress. Milan hasnt expanded as of yet being surrounded by hostile forces. Savoy is trying to butter up to France, it has grown by one province. Utrecht is steadily expanding into Netherlands and will soon border France - but thats mainly because France is eating at Burgundy. France is overall huge and will soon come knocking at the HRE.

We will continue this game next week if not enough people show up again for our main game. I was having a lot of fun battling the odds and I think thats a sentiment shared by our other players.

Shieet don't you have a coalition of just about everything against you now? I was gangbanged twice by AI for vassalizing one province early on.

I did gain one more province though, the one held by Venice but with Milan core on it.

Hansa starts allied to almost everyone nearby so that reduces AE a lot.

 

[Kaldurenik]

Yeah sorry that im so slow i will try to ally with some of the nations to the north now.

 

[Sranchammer]

I will be unavailable again.

 

[Muty]

Guize sorry, I have to travel this weekend and I won't be able to join

 

[CrimsonAngel]

Man playing a theocracy is wierd.

 

[Krash]

Sadly looks like I'll be away on business this weekend. Anyone up for leading Milan for a session? Conquering Italy is the main goal obv.

 

[Chef_Hathaway]

Maybe we should just skip a week again, seems like a lot of people are going to be missing.

 

[Malakal]

Nah lets continue with the HRE game. Its our substitute game anyway.

 

[Sranchammer]

Check your CET privilege.

 

[Malakal]

Reminder: we are playing again tomorrow.

[CrimsonAngel]

[Malakal]

Time to abandon European affairs and move west towards places untouched by the BBB. But western HRE will suffer greatly.

 

[Wilian]

Austria is stronk again and will provide any assistance necessary for the great nationstates of HRE. I've already begun providing monetary help for those in most need.

 

[Krash]

Whelp I thought Milan would make it, but apparently not.

Under the glorious leadership of Reject Milan has collapsed. But do not worry, republic of Venice was led by a very competent AI too and is now small enough to join HRE thus can be played by a player!
