1 Oct – Bayomo in Cuba is with Tropical Wood

25 Nov – Calatayud is now Sunni! My next target is Cagliari

4 Dec – Qunka is now Andalusian culture

20 Dec – The Fort of Urbino falls to us

29 Jan, 1566 – We take the last minor holdings of the Papal States

21 Feb – We can do any of the following:

Annex the Papal States

This would give me an aggressive badboy of 60.3 and we’d annoy 26 nations.

Leave them Romagna, which I don’t really care about. 49 badboy, we annoy 24 nations

Leave them Urbino too. We just take three provinces.

40 badboy and 18 annoyed.

Just Roma for peace?

20 badboy and 11 states annoyed

That’s my minimum.

Want to really annoy Europe?

Take Napoli in a separate peace with Naples, which is next to Roma. 30.5 badboy and annoy 12 states, and then do the peace with the Papal stats for the core three – Roma, Umbria and Ancona.


Or I could just take Roma and then vassalize the Papal States. Which is a 43 badboy score.


For maximum land grab – Napoli and Salerno from Naples, then all of the Papal States. Then I can declare war on Aragon and try and remove them from Iberia in a major battle as they are under assault and half of their stuff is gone.

If I am going to get hit by Europe for a major war for being a nasty bad boy, might as well push them to the edge, right? I might as well earn it!


Got it!

I’l wait 5 months until the peace treaty with Aragon is up. I can declare war on them and then peace in italy..

I leave an army behind and begin to move to Iberia.

22 Apr – While waiting, I order a pair of Manufactories

7 May – Sassari is now Sunni – next is Majrit

18 May – Our peace with Aragon is up!
