TC, I know you give them options to leave but the enemies stacks are too strong that they realized that if they leave budapest will fall so they stick together.

But if multiple stacks are menacing different cities and that a core group cannot reach all of them, it will force them to split and also generate more territorial losses?

Maybe this turn you will be able to force them to accept the loss of Budapest and retreat but they will probably try to remain together due to the lack of an effective army themselves if they strike off on their own.

I'm one step ahead of you. From the 1328 turn report:

In addition, scouts report worrying news. The Hungarians appear to be trying a new avenue of approach. While Austria’s defenders are pinned down at Ragusa and Budapest, an expeditionary force is marching from Sofia through the undefended Austrian lands. If they are not stopped, they will eventually drive right through Zagreb and into the heart of Austria.

Fear not, what I have planned for 1330 through the end of the cataclysm will make people really feel the strain. So far it's been easy.

I've updated the "state of the Reich" table to the best of my ability:

Let me know OOC if there are errors. The idea is to use it as a record when we come to the post-cataclysm reconstruction.

Krakow was taken by Russia, not Poland. Also, I do not really consider Stockholm to be part of the Reich. When I wrote up Fritz's report, I listed it under his controlled provinces with some notes, then just deleted it. Fritz has essentially just raided it and is going to move on. It's more of a Verginius-style plundering expedition than a conquest.
