Your help is much appreciated by the French Empire.
Are you saying you didn't take those provinces as a service to the French crown? That you waited until I was ghosted to sneak in and annex some AIs you knew were claimed by France? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised really, but I'm afraid that this is a situation that France cannot accept.

What? You turbo annex half of India and you want ALL of the spice islands?
Arent you overstretching yourself a bit too much? I doubt you got the missionaries for all of that.

What someone without fleets took Islands? Swedish people is delighted!
Also, could I get -inflation for the session.

I am pretty sure We took them out before you were ghosted. Regardless of that you had plenty of time to take them. If you can't manage that it's no ones but your own fault.

We where planning that expedition when you were still in the game so you can be as surprised as you want.
england Aar 1572-1598
busy times where ahead for england in 1572 but these did not include any plans to go to war,
during the recent lack of a ruler england was falling behind in the army & navy and thus we desided to make a effort and dwarf any other navy in the world by going straight from 500-600 ships till we reached max capacity wich is well over 1100 ships
altho the king had been away the navy did not suffer asmuch from this as my army, great admirals continiu to rise as first we had hawkings, frobisher & soon francis drake, all more then capable of defending the island from any enemy fleet should the need arise
most of the session was another few decades of expanding the income, colonise the new world & convert the remaining pagans or heathens, converting is slowly being finished as schotland, eire & india are now fully protestant all that remains is flandren & some pagans in the new world
nothing of note happed during the session besides those untill the french desided to invade india, england was not pleased at all with this when he found out(wasnt payng attention till it was to late), as revenge for french occupyng the entire south indian region & following collapse of the vij goverment the english attacked the ottoman empire, a ally of the french(was napped to france)
and took a shot at taking qeshm, frobisher had litle trouble securing the arabian sea but sadly raleigh was not so succesful, a few navalbatles where fought in arabia but the ottomans had little change thus they desided to build a massive army on qeshm to prevent any landing, seeing as its futile to land ontop of a mountain province thats defended by 100 000 turks we desided to just send francis drake to the med sea with the main army from england while frobisher would get reinforcements for raleigh in india
with drake arriving in the med the turks stood little change, i had pretty much navalsupremacy in both the med & the arabian sea at this point.
with navalsupremacy achieved and the turkish fleet routed & stuck in a port in both arabian sea & the med i desided to use the warscore and land in alexandria with a 444general & land near bagdad with my 555conq raleigh
as expected tbh the turks had kept 100k on qeshm wich was unable to move and didnt anticipate a major landing in egypt or iraq, we only faced minor oposition as we assaulted alexandria and a few other provs and started to stabhit for alexandria untill husky finaly agreed to let me have qeshm
husky agreed on the secund stabhit and as soon he agreed we witdraw from egypt & iraq and alowed him to witdraw his army from qeshm to before landing in the island with raleigh and assault the prov thus ending the war(took several assaults)
during all this france managed to screwe up south india & got stuck with huge badboy several shitty provinces(rich but tough to convert and non-colonise)
also ego claimed alaska wich england does not recognize and i finished exploring most of the world exept inland

Ottoman Empire
1572-1598
1572-1598
During the next several decades my country constantly struggled with economic weakness. I have succeeded in reaching fifth level of an infrastructural technology, what allowed me to embark an implementation of the governors. Unfortunately, it drained my treasury from all my savings. I should build manufactories first, and then promote those bureaucrats gradually. Lack of good planning.
Another sad thing I have to write about is English invasion. King Drake promised me he wont attack Empire if not provoked, but as he said, he ‘changed his mind’. Reliable guarantee, isn't it? However, England failed to siege fortress of Ormuz that was Drake's primary target. Rapid action of Ottoman fleet let me dispatch numerous army to defend the city. But that wasn't enough. England had an overwhelming, naval advantage and its army was free to land anywhere Drake chose. I would have to build a massive land forces to secure all the shores and I didn't really want to, I couldn't hold Ormuz in the long run anyway. Island was given away to England. Goodbye, CoT. It was nice holding you.
Now that my inflation was being reduced, I tried to accumulate significant amount of money again to finally build manufactories but another affair made that effort futile. Treacherous, wicked Austrian Archduke took advantage of Dane's illness and temporary anarchy in France and Poland. Of course he didn't have a chance to win anything with his puny army and pathetic military skills but the war consumed a lot of money. As a result, I'm entering the 17th century with only two manufactories. Hopefully I will manage to build some in the next few decades.
I also managed to reach next level of trade technology but that didn't make any difference. I'm still unable to trade at wider scale so my income doesn't grow. It seems that Ego was right and manufactories are more important than conversions. I'm 100% Sunni, but I didn't benefit from that fact in any significant way.

Of course i was right!

Venice 1572-1598
There were military dangers presenting itself to Venice at first. It seemed as if France would be on the move with their constant ally in the Ottomans but nothing came of it. Instead promises and diplomacy showed the light of day and everyone in Europe settled in to colonize, build and expand overseas. Trade was good for a while, many centers of trades are starting to be actually worth their constant cost in merchants even with all these nations trading. England and the Ottomans got into a war over one of these CoT's. With England's massive navy and just-go-to-bed-already-admirals it didn't seem like there was much of a question over who would win.
Venice took this time to finally invest heavily into the provinces of the country. Governors and chief judges were promoted in as many places as possible and a couple of conversions as well. The Doge was sick of the bad stab costs of having both Pagan and Orthodox provinces and with the recent effort the costs have dropped while the economy improved. Probably a good investment for the future.
Overseas Venice bought Brandenburg's small colonies on the west coast of Africa. Venetians had been the ones to explore and empty the provinces of highly aggressive natives with future plans to actually colonize the area when the economy permitted. Instead Brandenburg had claimed the area, but Venice and the German people have never had a quarrel and the Germans lackluster colonizing meant that a deal where both parties were happy could easily be worked out.
Austria and Venice decided on a joint venture into Indonesia as other nations were busy with their respective troubles. France seemed uninterested in the area as they were expanding heavily into India. A navy was sent out and it didn't take much work to finish off the natives with their lack of guns. A couple of provinces were converted almost instantly and colonization is progressing nicely. However it seems as if France wants the entire world and is demanding all the provinces be handed over to them.
That's not going to happen...

Tsardom of Russia 1572-1598
The Times of Boredom
I will write an AAr this week but basically i will be writting it only for the sake of writting one. Very little hapened in Russia. So little i dont think it requires an AAr. When session started i had a big question in mind: what should i be teching. I decided to tech NT since it would be less than 10 years to reach NT 11, and with NT 11 i would be reaching NT 9, which is a very important CRT and i would be able to get a shipyard, which would give me more colonists and probably allow me to go a bit innovative if i wished to.
The shipyard would also allow me to get much needed ships in the east, obviously. Ships are in short in Russia. France has been building a HUGE fleet in the east, and even built a shipyard in Indonesia! And it is obvious that they want to invade me.
Sadly however Dane decided to go AFK in the middle of the session so my mighty yermak died of boredom in some province of russia. I thought of using it against the OE just for some sport, but no one was interested in attacking the OE. Interest in fighting the OE only came later this session, and by then Yermak was already dead.
Apart from teching and building colonies, traders kept being sent everywhere and despite the many rehosts russia managed to keep her traders up and even managed to expand her trade A LITTLE. During one rehost i lost more than 10 MI, and i am not even taking lost monopolies in consideration! I believe i might have lost something like 10-15 merchants in a single rehost and i am not joking!
Everyone in Russia got perplexed however due to the lack of courage and initiative in the rest of europe. Only England had the balls of attacking someone, while Austria-Brandenburg and Venice decided to take a little nap while everyone else was sleeping. Austria refused to attack the ottomans when they should attack them because "the austrians could not handle them". Russia thought of giving them a little hand but Austria kept sitting back without even attacking, as the Austrians always do and did in previous wars. Russians arent going to die simply to give the Austrians a cheap victory, so if Austrians wanted to win they should bear some of the casualties. But sitting back without even attacking at all, waiting for some sort of miracle is just disgusting and the Tsar will have none to do with it.
Austria had a huge morable advantage against the OE, and if Austria could not handle that plus the fact that the rivers in Hungary could be used to their advantage, it is their own fault that they lost the war.
But if Austria cannot handle OE in 1v1 while France and Poland are ghosted, than it is quite clear to me that they are a bunch of weaklings and the probabilities of winning a war against the French-Turkish + Polish block are close to if they are not an outright 0%.
And the Motherland isnt going to spill the blood of its courageous and strong soldiers only to help the fat & cowardly austrians that prefer to fight wars with their ass sit down in some chair.

I did all the requested edits except from the silly province swaps that were not confirmed. (and BTW, now that i am speakinga about silly province swaps, DO NOT ask them again. It makes it harder for me to do my job.)
Also, France seems to have forgotten his session cookie or his AAr reward. He only asked for -2 BB. Since Dane wrote his AAr already he will be able to request his cookie for next session since he seems to forgot asking for it.
I implemented our gold inflation rule today. So:
Spain got 7% inflation
Russia got 2.2% inflation
France got 0.8% inflation
And, since i was ghosted for one full year and a half (while minting), i reduced my inflation by 1% (which is equal to one year of minting), reduced my treasury by 5617d (one year of full income), and invested all these ducats (one year of research) into LT.
EDIT: Also changed Kordofan's culture to colonial since province was pagan and converted to orthodox via event.

How about attacking them just yourself? What do you need an ally for?
