1 April, 1561 Camana is Cocoa

4 May, 1561 – Grain Coast is Tuscan (I order a Textile M here)
1 July – Everything’s ready. I have 17k troops now in Lucca, I moved an army to Verona, and we are ready to go. My navy is combined and off the coast.


I declare war on Milan

I am not, initially, calling on any of my allies. I should be able to handle this on my own, they have around 25k troops

14 July – I capture 6 ships from our foes

6 Aug – We take Pisa – this forces their main navy to emerge

12 Aug – Brescia is ours by Verona

18 Aug – I have routed their forces off the coast

19 Aug – I arrive at Firenze

20 Aug – I arrive at their capital

22 Aug – Their main force is in Lucca beising us

15 Nov - I capture Parma

26 Nov – I assault and take Firenze, I move to their capital

21 Dec – They retake Pisa

27 Dec – We take Siena



6 Jan, 1562 – I retake Pisa

18 Jan - They retake Parma

30 Jan – We arrive at their capital and I blitz an attack


1 Feb – Swellendam is Livestock

14 Feb – Their capital falls and I order an assembled assault on Lucca

29 Mar – We break the siege.

16 April - I have an 86% warscore.

What I can I get?

I don’t need to really push against Milan. I just want the Tuscan stuff.

I take the three Tuscan holdings, one other holding for geometrical needs, War Reparations and about 500 in cash

Milan is no longer eligible to be our rival so I select Vijayanagar.




Here is the new area we spread too. You can see my cash is +31.52 if I have 100% army funding and it’ll drop there quickly.

You can see my four captures here with Lucca from my vasal next to Lucca, and then the other three Tuscan holdings in Pisa, Siena, Firenze, and then Modena is there as well connecting Lucca and walling off the area.

All are Tuscan and Catholic unless otherwise stated, as well as 40% autonomy.

Pisa – Wine, farmlands, natural harbor, 19 development, Shipyard, Regimental Cap, Workshop, Marketplace are here, we get 0.82 in cash



Siena
– 20 dev, farmlands, Glass trade, making 0.90, all o the building as above plus a Church.


Firenze
– 31 development, Castle, Church, Marketplace, emporium for an internal trade center (It’s Florence), Wine makers, hills, 0.96 made here for us


Modena
– Hills, 12 Dev, Romagnan culture, Livestock with a Farm Estate, Camp and Church, 0.25 cash, this is under 75% autonomy instead


Alright!

My post-war cash is heading to:

Natchitoches, north of my holdings in Louisiana to lock it in as the Portuguese are next to me
