A very interesting ending. So Karl played the Hapsburgs all along. Very fun AAR.

Thanks but a lot of the credit goes to you, when I started this AAR I never planned this sub plot at all, but this post of you got it all started

One nasty secret indeed, and very wise of the man to abscond with the documents. Of course, while he has them and the Empress does not... I wonder what temptations might come his way.

But I only came up with this ending very late in my AAR

That has to be the funniest closing to an AAR I have ever read. :rofl:

Thanks, once I knew how I would end, this sentence popped up in my head immediately

I'm flattered that an off-the-cuff comment of mine was such as inspiration. Thank you very much. You have, in all seriousness, just made the day that much better. Thank you!

Quite a satisfying close.

A bit ahistorical, tho -- Frederick the Great preferred men, and after it became aundantly clear no amount of doing his duty would result in an heir he basically exiled the poor woman.

Where would I be without nits to pick?

A nice AAR comes to a nice end.

Good job, well worth the read...

WOW!! Go Veldmaarshalk! I loved your AAR, but I've noticed you've modded something. Can you tell me everything you've modded? I want my game to be just like yours!

Thanks, but telling everything is almost impossible, since I don't write down what I mod and I modify the game a lot, so I don't really know anymore what is 'official' patch 1.05 and what is my modification

But here you will find links to graphic mods I use, some links might not work anymore though, since the modder has taken the files off-line

Events are from SMACK, though you will have to modify one or two of them a bit, look for what to modify on the last page of the SMACK thread

Further more, I have modified the income values of Wales, Ireland and Scotland conform this thread

And then there are the two links in my signature. but I noticed that in my culture mod I have a unused culture tag (ugric-baltic) I don't know yet for which culture I will use it for. And I also have a tendency to constantly merge, create, remove, rename duchies :)

And then I have modified the effects of the illnesses (more lethal), fixed some events that were broken (don't remember which ones exactly anymore :eek:o ), gave William the Conquerer the realm duress trait in 1066 and the thow Leofricsons the rebelliousness trait, removed and modified some events that gave muslims higher stats
 
I just read the final chapters of history of von Habsburgs and I really enjoyed this story. The final twist was most entertaining.
 
This was a fascinating AAR and reading it has made me very late for things. But I daresay it was worth it. It was quite amazing how everything came together!
