Holy crap, i got more then 30 provinces so that means 600+600 gold for me (2x since it is 2 scaled stategifts).

So lets see. For ontime we get only cash. For AArs we get either 1% deflation, -3 BB or stategifts as well?

Anyway, this means 600+600 gold (2 scaled stategifts) for me from AAr, and 300 gold for ontime cookie (we are currently in 1488 afaik). 1500 gold overall. :cool:

The Rise of Brandenburg

Or how a Mark County becomes a Kingdom

Brandenburg, an important player in the Holy Roman Empire, a rather unimportant area in Europe. That is about to change though. The Brandenburgian Mark Count had already done a good job marrying a number of his children to other rulers in the Empire. In time they had become Brandenburgs' vassals. Now the time was right to annex them. Lüneburg, Oldenburg, Münster, Bremen, Hamburg, all agreed to be annexed by the new Mark Count. After all, the respective rulers were his kin. Although a few needed to be pushed a little bit. Some troops stationed right at the border was mostly intimidation enough though, while a few extra monetary gifts did the rest.

A war was fought with Poland, to gain ancient core territories. They were lost when the Polish nation rose in power. But the combined strength of Austria and Brandenburg was way too much for the young Polish nation. In the meantime, Prussia was also conquered and annexed. A small war was also fought with Mecklenburg, gaining us a province and the vassalization of the now one-province minor.

Brandenburg had an agreement with Austria, returning three Bohemian provinces to Austrian control that had been taken from Bohemia in war. This strengthened the bond between the two nations.

Brandenburg and Austria had become over time something that one might call friends. As the Mark County was economically more healthy then Austria it was agreed that Brandenburg would help Austria on the monetary front to help it increase it's monthly income. Thus money was raised and given to Austria, with which they built a Refinery along the Rhine river in southern Germany. Meanwhile The Mark Count had saved enough money to announce the establishing of a Fine arts Academy in the capital city Berlin.

While Austria struggled due to rather bad diplomatic decisions, Brandenburg remained neutral to all things happening on the foreign front. Not that other nations bothered about what the small country would do.

However, some attention was drawn to us when the Saxon king, a vassal of Brandenburg, was appointed Holy Roman Emperor. He was now a puppet of the Mark Count. And he made good use of it. In a grand ceremony in Berlin, right at the opening of the new Fine Arts Academy in the city, the Mark Count was named King of Brandenburg. A new Kingdom had arisen in central Europe. And it should be reckoned with in the times to come.


As I'm only a one time sub, Fnuco should post what he wants as reward for this AAR.

We already discussed this previously with Mulliman. Mulliman was played by Drake (ghost) and he didnt deserve to get a cookie. Drake, after all, was more a ghost then a player. Your situation is the same. Drake basically only built fleet, moved dp sliders, had events and conquered Montaux. Now now... Do ghosts deserve to get cookies?

Anyway, will write my AAr after i get back in 2 hours. And i hope i receive proper edits this time as well Martin! :p

The Way To India

Altough the damned moorish rebels in southern Spain managed to burn one of our lovely refineries, before being utterly crushed, peace reigned supreme in all of Spain. It was said, by this time, that the way to get to India, a land of wealth, could be achieved by going west. This idea, was, proposed by no one else then Columbus, a man born in Portugal. Of course, his Portuguese comrades did not share his opinion, and always stated the way to get to India would be by rounding Africa. Nevertheless, The King himself finances Columbus and sends an expedition to the far west. In the meanwhile, our most famous El Gran Capitan, is sent with a mission of the most importance - obtain maps. The Great Library of Alexandria was said to keep ancient and acurate maps of Persia-India, dating from the times of Alexander the Great himself. In a quick move, El Gran Capitan sucessfully pillages the mighty building, and obviously gets the so wanted maps Spain wanted to posess. Afterwards we received news, that Crimea, posessed maps about the territories north of Samarkand - maps drawn by Genghis Khan himself while he was in campaign. But, Crimea was a vassal of the Ottoman Empire, and so we had to pay them 300 gold coins to avoid the anger of the Sultan. Again, striking fast as a lightning, El Gran Capitan conquers Crimea. However, the rumours were totaly unfounded, and Crimea knew nothing that Spain didnt know already. So we felt terribly cheated - for we still had to pay the Turkish the 300 gold coins they asked! :mad:


Columbus... A liar... Or a hero?

Columbus found new land... However it was not India! And once he arived in Spain telling about these news, Hugo Chavez, the Spanish prime minister was enfuriated! So much so that Columbus ran to his ship and set sail to the lands he discovered, in search of wealth, to apease Hugo Chavez. He did find Gold mines, excelent lands to plant sugar, and local indians which could be used as slaves and cheap labour. These news soon made Hugo Chavez a happy man, and over time he sent more and more men to these lands, in order to discover more wealth. Many pagans, were soon found. They called themselves the "Aztecs". An expedition, with El Gran Capitan as a leader, was soon sent. El Gran Capitan was totaly astonished when he arived at the Aztec Capital. The city was the greatest ever seen before. Not even Constantinople could stand a chance against it.

tenochtitlan.jpg

The Aztec Capital of Tenochtitlan​

These pagans, however, refused to embrance christianity, and so we had to teach them the way into heaven, at sword point. They should thank us after all... for we told them the quickest way to meet the almighty! Once all their lands were conquered, we discovered untold riches. Countless gold mines were discovered, and this efectively doubled our economy. At the same time a center of trade was created in Martinique. A man, by the name of Alonso de Ojeda offered his services to the crown, in order to explore new lands surrounding the former Aztec nation. The results, were great - he discovered yet more mines further in the north and in the south.

The gold was sweet, but we didnt fulfil our main ambition - reach India. So, Juan de la Cosa, an experienced sailor, was sent to the south in order to reach India. This, proved that the Portuguese cartographers were very smart, since Juan de la Cosa did, indeed, discover the way to India by rounding Africa. Sadly, however, things werent so good, and sudently, our friends in Austria declared war upon us! Their old ruler, was, mentally ill, and we believe that was the main problem. He confused Spain with the heathen Turks. Yes, that is the only explanation to the whole problem. Hopefully he was soon substituted and peace reigns supreme in Spain once more! Now, Hugo Chavez, The prime minister of the richest nation in the world, wonders what to do next. Will he lead Spain to further riches? Will Spain collapse in the face of adversity? Only time will tell...

The king of England had to work a shift at his part time job for a lengthy period, and found it necessary to appoint a regent. If only England were richer, so that the English people would decide to give him a raise and he could quit his lousy job.

This regent performed the duties of statehood quite well. One of his projects was to hold a science fair, to show off the technological innovativeness of English scholars. The grand prize was a province in Ireland.

There were two close competitors. One had a teleportation device to be used specifically for targeting a fraction of the coinage in a random persons pocket or purse, and teleporting it to the center of the earth, which then caused deflation. It flew in the face of modern economic theory, but tests showed that it really worked. The device was called a governor, because it was supposed to govern the way inflation was to be controlled henceforth.

The other was the steam engine. It was a very close contest, but in the end, the governor was simply too amazing, and won first prize. The steam engine sank into obscurity and was soon forgotten.


Unfortunately, there were no vacant provinces left in Ireland, as they had all by this time been given away to former science fair winners, but the regent had an idea. What is Ireland, but a name? A name that could be given to another land, a land across the sea, in the new world! He pulled out a map, and there it was, a seemingly fitting spot next to the great lakes. "There, lad, this is new Eire, royally decreed extension of Ireland. By contract, it is legal for me to award you with this land. Go, take it, it is yours".


This science student had a great following, enthralled with his work and eager to learn all of his secrets, enough to form a great fleet which accompanied him across the sea. Fifteen weeks, and they landed and formed a settlement, only to be met by a group of Lenape. These Lenape claimed the land to be holy, and said that it was off limits to the expedition.

As a good catholic, the student dared not challenge this. But when 10 years later, the national religion changed to protestantism, that was no longer a problem. He quickly reinvented gun powder and fashioned a bunch of cannons out of bark and sea shells and bombarded the Lenape village into submission. He renamed the settlement "Jamestown", because his name was James and it was his town.

When another band of indians from the west came by and tried to run him out, he told them squarely to get out. It wasn't indian territory anymore. There were a lot of them though, and each one was armed with either a club or a rock. The seashell cannons had by this time been returned to the sea, their natural home, so there was no defense for the city. It was time to invent.

But up in his tree fort, James could think of nothing. Whilst he pondered in vain, anxious thought, the people of Jamestown, his devoted followers, flew into action. Of the people, many of them were former acrobats, who'd customarily performed tricks for their hero in the olden days, when he competed in science fairs. One of their tricks was to stand on each others shoulders, ten high, and form what would appear from the distance to be a giant person. They wore costumes that made this "giant" look like James. The person in the top center was a fat man with tatoos all over his body that made him look like James's face.

So, the acrobatic team came together and assembled once again, into the form of "James", climbing atop each others shoulders carefully, yet steadily and completed the formation by the time the Iroqois reached the treehouse. When they saw the ten story giant, with the intellectual looking, slightly sweaty and flabby looking face of James far above, they beseeched him "oh please, please don't eat us. We are sorry for coming into your village, please spare us". The giant figure did not look down. It simply moved forward and began walking over the Indians.

Five minutes later, the ground was littered with rocks, sticks, and unconscious or crying and moaning bodies of dozens of Iroqois, trampled in the mad rush to escape the "giant". There was dust in the air, and blood on the ground, and the team was really tired. They had never stomped over so many Indians, but they were fanatically devoted to their hero, and would've done it again if it meant keeping him safe. As they dismounted, James lowered his rope ladder and came down and held a big celebration and then they all slept really while.


While they were sleeping, some Spaniards snuck into the town and stole a new device that James was working on, a mono pulley, a monopoly. A device used to levitate trade goods, one crate at a time, up into the air, where they could be safe from thieves or pirates, and held there for storage. It could also be moved from up high like a bird over long distances.

The city awoke when the Spaniards, in their greed, tried to levitate one of the beds a person was sleeping on. She screamed and the whole community burst into action, tying down everything they could and scouting the countryside for any sign of culprits. They eventually tracked the monopoly signal to the sea, but no boats could be seen. It was close by though, so James determined that they must have some sort of underwater vessel. Unfortunately, it would be a very difficult barrier to remove before the Spanish thieves could be rooted out.

In the meantime, every now and then an item that was not secured would float away, sometimes right in front of a person's eyes. There was nothing to be done. Either James, and the youngsters he'd begun to train in the ways of science, would devise a solution, or things would stay the way they were.

Aar France 1516 - 1545


pre 1516
For many years the countrys austria and france lived on the edge of total war, a mere spark would probaly have this conflict escalated beyond the point of no return(1side dies)
the austrians where more annoyng then the english ever been during the Hundred year war but fortunatly the duke of austria wasn't to bright. loosing armys on a foolish attempt to siege paris and not witdrawing when they get whiped out or betrayng his allys/friends to help them turn :)
during negotiations with the old duke a nap was setled till 1528 so france could recover and prepare for war right after that date, later the duke realized the stupidity of his deal and tryd to have it cancelt but france didn't fall for it.
however due to some unexpected moved from our neigbors the situation in central europe shifted in our favor,
with austria declaring war on spain over a silly thing like military acces and a few years later going completly mad where he declared war upon half of europe fortunatly the combined forces managed to kill this crazy duke and get a new 1 on the throne
1 that seems alot more willing to be reasonable

1516-1545
with recent negotiations the new duke of austria and the king of france agreed a deal
a non agression pact is signed till 1589 and the lands of belgium-koln and some other west rhine provinces bought by france for a fair amount of gold

during this era the king of france received maps from the good yet a bit crazy king of spain and send a explorer with a huge armada to asia discovering many more lands and centers of trade that the world had no knowledge of till then
also started colonizing and conquering a region we now call "indonesia"
however the king of france is growing old and in his mental days he agreed to give maps to england wich he regretted a bit after seeing the ottos with his maps a year later
france apoligizes to spain for that thingie messup and hope hell forgive me :D

when protestantism hit europe france was the first to embrace it and convert to the now only true faith(yeah i know where crazy), conversions has gone underway and so far most of northern france is converted including paris the south and eastern parts of france are stil resisting it but they will soon realize that resistance is futile and all will be assimulated in this new religion , we are the borg!.... erhm protestant is the 1 true faith!
yep we got only peaceful intensions :rolleyes:




Since we get explorers soon for all france will make it rather clear for all
France has set claim on indonesia/philipines/ayatuya any nation expanding in that region will have a guarenteed enemy in france

The Incas are conquered

Having a lot of nobles around doing nothing, apart from plotting against the King, Hugo Chavez decides to send them, under the leadership of the most famous Hernan Cortez to the americas. Under his leadership, they managed to conquer with the newly invented Spanish muskets - yet - another empire for spain. Gold kept flowing into Spanish coffers into tremendous amounts. Merchants were also sent through the entire world. In far away Mexico, Spain, India, and other countless places unknown to the rest of the world.


Venice, the Pope and Protestantism

Venice, by now, was one of the strongest remaining italian city states. Such could not be tolerated. In a quick war, their fleet is utterly destroyed and the doge himself agrees to become a vassal of spain for all eternity. The Pope decides to insult our mighty King - and such could not be tolerated. Even from such an ilustrous person as the pope. After Carlos' legion sacks Rome, the Pope agrees to kiss Carlos' pinky finger and become, a vassal as well. Not much time afterwards, however, a crazy guy by the name of Luther decides to state that the Pope is an heretic that is just selling God's forgiveness to whoever pays the most. Of course, Hugo Chavez, the Spanish prime minister used the oportunity to embrace this new faith, "Protestantism", to pillage all churchs of their property and wealth. Missionaries were thus sent to the 4 corners of the empire. After a couple of years we havent managed to convert many good souls, sadly.


Conquests everywhere!

Soon afterwards, Spain decided to engage a doctrine of fast expansion throughout the entire world. Zanj was conquered. Gujarat, Hyderabad, Bengal and Vijayanagar were beaten. And lastly, Morroco was pillaged, and, consequently vassalized by our austrian friends. Some time afterwards, however, we managed the evil English managed to steal our maps - and we decide to embargo the bastards! Hopefully they apologized and agreed not to attack us for the next following years, so we quickly took the embargo away. By the end of his 3rd mandate, Chavez wonders whats next. Chavez also foresees some problem regarding all the gold coming from the americas, but we are currently trying to deal with this problem.
