Poland seems strongest, though I think an effectively organized Germany or Byzantium could threaten her. But that's the HRE and Byzantine Empire right? Not gonna happen.

A Hungarian with an unpronounceable name holding the Kingdom of Germany is really something! And it looks like there are many other Christian kingdoms that can compare to the power of Poland yet! This and an incompetent king succeeding will certainly keep the game interesting for the next while!

There was a time when Germany grew too powerful and collapsed, just like I Poland right now. They were killing new king after a week or so for at least a year...

As far as other countries go, only Germany is powerful enough, but I could take the rest by myself if it wasn't for those meddling vassals!

It seems that runing country with incompetent ruler is harder than I initially hoped. I wonder how those idiots in the government cope with it. I know! They dont!!!

I would quote here one of the most brilliant Polish leaders, Jozef Pilsudski, but I won't cause I will get banned!
 
:eek:
Troubles may well be ahead for Poland!
Andrzej had difficulties with 14 Diplomacy... the new guy has 5. And i think the Realm Duress event happens more when intrigue is low...
(To say nothing of the Golden Horde and il-Khanate!)
Though it will probably be lots of problems... it will definitely keep things interesting.
:D
[This was going to be my comment earlier but i don't like starting a new page right after an update]
 
Well, year 1254 started quite nicely. After few minor seccessions, the big stuff came:

You would think that the breakthrough of one of my toughest dukes is something? Just check this one:

Well, our enlightened king quickly understood what to do:

And other good news:

No fear though. It took few months to defeat Kiev's army and Germany gave up after I took Nurenberg later that year.

Plus Byzantine empire wished to form an alliance, what would keep other neighbours from declaring war on me like there is no tomorrow :rofl:

Although royal forces fight bravely and conquer back the lands that wishes to leave our great empire, but a terrible price:

Stay tuned for more folks!
 
Your prestige is painful. Hopefully your king dies soon..
 
I don't think I've ever seen that much negative prestige! :eek:
 
Me neither. Great job on making Poland as huge as an Xbox, and I hope you can get through all this realm duress. Darned vassals, always out to ruin a perfectly fine day (not to mention world conquest) :mad:
 
JimboIX - well, we all wish him quick and painful death, but he is as healthy as an ox having 20 years of rule on him at least...

anonymous4401 - just wait, it gets worse... My home provinces mutiny and that's the reason. I just couldn't divide my kingdom as Trashingmad did...

Pirate Z - Thank you mate. I suppose my kingdom is slightly bigger even than PS3 :) . For now I leave alone those who leave me peacefully (they ask for vassalization after a while though) and I fight the rest. I will have to figure out the distribution of land and some law changes maybe.
 
Don't give up on me. The game is on and the struggle continues, but for now it is me struggling my exams... As soon as I pass them I will post an update.
 
First catastrophe approaches... don't let them split your kingdom! Poland from sea to sea... or death.
 
Tskb18 - Thank you

Jan Skrzetulski - I won't give up Poland. We survived, Swedish Deluge, three partitions, two world wars, communistic era and now we are struggling the evil twins period. This rich historical knowledge and my mental instability will ensure Poland from sea to sea...
 
I am still here, just overwhelmed with work and studies. Savegames ar allright and I will be back soon with an update.

Eh, due to the lack of strategy and the need to conquer everything in sight my overgrown kingdom fell apart and I all I could do is to watch... Quick release of Czech, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Norwegian and Swedish kingdom did not do the trick.

This AAR is dead, but soon I will be back with the second try and I will hopefully move to EU II and further.
