EU3 MMP2 Succession Game

[CountArach]

Well, done CA! I didn't expect Aragon to amass armies quite that large... good to see my lack of foresight with the Aragonese war wasn't fatal.

There was a moment, right after I lost in Calabria, where I paused the game and had my head in my hands. I was just like "Oh no... this war is lost..." and I was just determined to hold on for as long as possible. Still, it seems that Calabria is truly just a death trap for any potential invader. They get -3 to all their attacks when crossing and take large amounts of attrition.

Hopefully Venice will hang on to Romagna for a while... if it isn't in Papal hands at the time of the next (inevitable) war, I'm pretty sure we'd be able to take Rome in a peace treaty, which would be a big gain for Naples.

Yeah that would be really good and would get us quite close to dominating Italy. On the other hand I think that a lot of nations get a casus belli against us if we do take it - defending the faith and whatnot. Oh, and they still hold on to Avignon so we can't annex them in one go unless that has been taken.

Just a random little note about the Knights - when they were annexed out of the Baleares they ended up moving to Corfu after Venice granted that to them. There may be a potential for some sort of future attack there, but I think it is likely the Ottomans will arrive first. That said the Ottomans are really struggling this game. Albania (!) is defeating them in a war and so is Hungary.
