No that's fine, sometimes my short comments/jokes miss the mark a bit when it involves people who have no idea how the game works. You allied the dark green countries, and the red ones are your enemies (one of them declared war on you, bringing in their own allies, who are much bigger than yours). You can see the two sides in the table, and below that you can see how many soldiers they have.
I blame those bastards in Lubeck.

Is the 92% my bad ass at war rating or my percentage of troops in the coalition?

Am I just delaying the inevitable death by Solius?

Speaking of Abizzz, the Printing Press just appeared in his lands. The institutions should appear roughly 50 years apart, but Colonialism was so slow to appear that lots of countries still haven't even embraced that one, so now they're two behind.

Did I lose my home province?
Yep well spotted, they forced you to release the country of Wolgast, and that included your capital. Also holy shit I just noticed that @Dan is back. They made you release Dan :lol:

What's more, he immediately allied @Abizzz, so he has a decent ally for once. He's also an Elector in the Holy Roman Empire, which means he gets to vote on who is Emperor!

What a fecking hero.



So yeah, you lost a few provinces @Dr. Dwayne, but it's not the end or anything. They also didn't directly take most of them. In a way you were lucky to be at war with the Holy Roman Emperor, because it's in their best interest to make sure there are as many different countries in the Empire as possible (they get bonuses based on the number), so he didn't really want to conquer you.

Interesting development! @Igor Drefljak and his allies won the war against @Vidyoyo, but it could probably have been even worse if not for the Emperor, @adexkola invading Igor. I think what happened was that Igor attacked and annexed the city of Lübeck. But a mechanic in the game is that the Emperor can demand that any country which owns a province in the Empire that is not a core (takes time to make it into one) returns that province. If they refuse, then this can happen:



Should have said yes...

Edit: And I just noticed that all his allies, who just helped him attack Vidyoyo, refused to join the war in his defense so the alliances broke.
