Random and Historical Events
And I've chosen Austrian Lowlands to start me off.
Well let's start from 1492,
I first decided to make some goals for myself to finish by 1510.
I decided on:
Bailiffs in every province.
Create a strong Alliance
And to try and vassalize Bohemia and Hungary.
Now it's time to fill you in,
1492: I managed to get Bohemia, Hungary & Lorraine into my alliance. I also got relatives to marry into England and Lorraine's courts.
1493: Wurtemberg joined our court in marriage and later in alliance.
1494: Royal Marriage with Saxony and The Palatinat. Venice annexed Ragusa. I was going to invite Saxony into our Alliance, but Hannover had bet me to them. I have a feeling the royal court wants to punish Hannover 4 what they did. Soon.
1495: The Spanish court was graced by our ambassadors, improving relationships between us. The whole world saw the glory of Austria, improving relations. Royal Marriages were formed with Spain, Navarra and Denmark. Sibir annexed Astrakhan.
1496: Royal Marriages were forged between Milan, Cologne and Austria.
1497: Raising Armies in Franche-Comte & Alsace, some people wondered if there would be war. The French have been loading troops by me for awhile, so I thought it wise.
December 30, Our nobles were in the grand hall where we were having a feast with honoured guests. A messenger came quietly in (so not to disturb anyone) and told me that France had declared war on us, Austria. So I informed the guests that the party would have to be cut short, for we need to plan this war to our advantage.
The First Franco-Austrian War
The French Alliance The Austrian Alliance
France Austria
Savoy Bohemia
Helvetia Hungary
Sweden Lorraine
Papal States Wurtemburg
Navarra
Modena
January, My troops spill into the French province of Nivernais.
There were already French there, which lead to battle.
February, France besieges Lorraine.
Helvetia besieges Wurtemburg.
March, I move troops into Picardie,
I won against French in Nivernais.
& I move troops straight into Picardie, right away assaulting its walls. They will soon see the true
light and power of Austria.
April, Move troops into Caux and assault but pull out, weakening walls.
March troops from Tyrol to Helvetia. There I encountered newly trained Helvetians who were no
match 4 my time aged, high moral troops.
May sees Caux fall to me and Lorraine to France. Helvetia is still besieged by Hungary’s troops and ours.
In June Navarra beat us out of Helvetia, Nivernais falling to our troops, and France besieging Franche-Comte.
In August, Champagne falls and troops besiege Normandy. Then on the 25th, France comes out of the blue with an offer of Nivernais, Champagne and Picardie. This was a good offer that I just couldn’t resist. All of my northern provinces r now contiguous.
The Period of Peace, 1499-1505
After the war, The court was so pleased with the outcome of the war that I was promoted to Viscount. Then 4 some strange reason the Russians took a liking to me. Maybe it was because I whipped France?
The Next 4 or 5 years I spent money on raising troops and improving relations between Lorraine, Bohemia and Hungary. Hopefully I will be able to vassalize them.
Then in 1503, it happened. Hungary’s monarch was in an accident and died. We offer our sincere condolences, but inside we realise that we had a dynastic alliance. It was a strange day of mourning and rejoicing.
Not long after this event, I was promoted to Count.
I had to keep raising troops, though, because France was looking rather greedily to those 3 provinces I had taken last war. I thought it wise to protect my interests.
When r those stupid, stuck-up French going to learn. I mean they declared war on me again in 1505 with the same alliance both sides. I decided with the help of some of the most prominent people in Austria that France wouldn’t live to declare war on me again. That will teach them!

my success and declared WAR on ME.
I accepted peace with Papal States, the leader of whats left of the French Alliance.
The First Spanish-Austrian War, Coming Soon
Goals:
Baliffs in every province: Yes, but didn’t check French provinces.

“ Bohemia: No
Create Strong Alliance: Yes, up to the Spanish, anyway.
Summary: I didn’t do to well with goals, but I made up in other areas like annexing France.
