To his majesty King Nicolas I of All this mess,

My sincere congratulations on reaching the meaningful duty you now posess.

I hope that your reign will make the empire prosper at last.

Obi-Juan de El Even, Duque de Bohemia
 
To His Imperial Majesty Kaiser Nicholas,

I do hope you're reign is a pleasant one. The last Emperor really was an unpleasant chap. Especially since he killed one of my sisters. Things in Franconia have been a tad unhappy for a while. My father was rather rude to me -
Too right, you snivelling wuss! If you weren't such a girl you'd have taken back the throne for our family by now!
- and I have to say that our last master was terribly overbearing. It simply isn't that team game popular in Holland played with willow bats and a leather ball, you know.
Anyway, my sincere wishes for a long and happy reign (especially for the rest of us). I do hope you're able to do something about your lack of children soon.

Yours,

Laurence, Duke of Franconia, head of house D'Allmy.
 
To my most prestigious countrymen,

Thus ends the reign of Emperor Gabriel, a reign of war and weariness. And thus begins the reign of Emperor Nicholas, one which I promise will be filled with peace and prosperity. Now, please mind the "Do Not Disturb Sign" hanging from my door and if the room is a-rockin', please for the love of all that is German, don't come a-knockin'.

Your lord and master, His Imperial Majesty, Augustus Nicholas; King of all Germans, the Italians, the Burgundians, the Dutch, the Luxembourgish, the Czechs, the Wends, and of Rome and all her environs, master of the Earth, and mayor of a little city up the road.
 
To Emperor Nicholas, he of the kicking rad beard,

A question; who is next in line for the throne. If it is me, please make me weaker somehow; I'm lazy and don't want to be bothered with actually ruling the Empire. Otherwise, please do not bother with me, for I am a specific kind of *loyal*. In a side note, Emperor Gabriel is dead, long live your majesty! Until you conveniently slip on a misplaced bear rug and break your neck, of course.

I recommend that you cut the Pope down to size; his Holiness has a penchant for excommunicating Emperors.

Every Emperor's faithfully deceitful servant,
Duke Fausto di Savoie,
Master of the Savoyards, Lord of Piedmont, Savoie, and Valais.

To Duke Fausto di Savoie,

Currently the heir to the Emperorship is none other than the son of our previous Emperor, long may he be in the ground. If the Electors of the Reich wish a better replacement I can begin work on that.

As for dealing with the Pope, I believe it unwise to act against the messenger of GOD without descent provocation. As well, your countrymen seem war-weary and unwilling to cooperate with such measures. Though I would normally be happy to expand my own realm, it is time for the Empire to see at least a few years of peace.

Hello Emperor Nicky,

nice change of pace to have a sane Emperor again. I hope you can go on without the shenanigans late Gabby was so fond off.

Greetings, Duke Jan (or Il Duce as those barbarian Italians like to call me).
 
A pity too.
 
Maybe you should skip Mr. Capiatlist by offing his monarch if he is okay with it. And offer the save to the next guy.

That sounds like a idea. I'll PM Mr. C and see if he's okay with that? Anyone interested in subbing for him? In addition to Ves' save game (above), you'll need to replace /db/dynasties.txt with this file (attached). Don't forget to back up your old one first!View attachment dynasties.rar
 
Got one AAR to finish first (not long to play now, I think), but after that I'd love to try.
 
Well, Mr. C. has agreed to a substitution - anyone want it?
