Jan 2, 1538 – I order a Weapons manufactory in Metz.
Feb 6 – RM: Cyprus, Foix
May 4 – I Promote Cultural Unity in Bourgogne
Jan 2, 1539 – After building a third army, I DOW Savoy with NO CB and lose 2 stability.
Mar 2 – Piedmont fell
Savoy is attacking Franche-Comté, so I am moving my Antwerp army to intercept.
Mar 5 – Savoie fell
Mar 21 – Cuneo falls
Apr 5 – Nice falls
Apr 7 – We go to peace:
Nice, Cuneo, and Savoie are now mine. I couldn’t annex them. I gained 12 infamy for the territory and 2 for the war.
On the other hand, I gained three provinces and immediately got cores on them:
Savoie – 15342 Protestant Lombards work the cloth trade and make 44.01 ducats. They also area core of just Savoy and me. Next to Wallis, Freiburg, Piedmont, Dauphine, Lyonnais and Franche-Comté.
Cuneo – 16571 Catholic Lombards grow grapes here on the foothills of the Alps. A lovely vintage. They make 25.48 ducats annually. They are claimed by Savoy, Milan, and me. They are next to Piedmont, Dauphine, Provence, Nice and Liguria.
Nice – This Riviera province has 20969 fishers of Lombard Catholic descent. They make 17.30 ducats. Claimed by just Savoy and me, Nice is next to Cuneo, Liguria and Provence.
I send missionaries to Cuneo and Nice. I am leaving behind my large army in Nice
I need to make a land connection through Dauphine later.
I get a mission to build an army bigger than Hungary. I spend some Prestige to get rid of it, and the next is to improve relations with Bavaria. Okay.
