29 May, 1765 – RM: Burgundy

22 June, 1765 – Inhambae expands. I order in more settlers.

8 September, 1765 – Kilwa converted

9 October, 1765 – Zanzibar converted

19 October, 1765 – R: Damascus

12 November, 1765 – We failed to convert in Mombasa

Our badboy is complete gone. Time to make enemies

17 November, 1765 – I offer the Ottomans annexation and they refuse.

1 January, 1766 – The Fine Arts Academy we ordered in Salonica is complete.


26 May, 1766 – We offer the Ottomans annexation. They accept

That’s 23 provinces. Our badboy takes a major, major hit. I release some vassals.

3 provinces are released as The Golden Horde immediately.

1 June, 1766 – With a new diplomat, I release Moldavia as a new vassal.

29 July, 1766 – Inhambane expands. I order more colonists.

1 August, 1766 – With a new diplomat, I release Poland as a vassal

7 September, 1766 – Tahiti expands and more colonists are sent. Oh yeah, and RM: France

1 October, 1766 – I free Wallachia as a vassal with our new diplomat

9 October, 1766 – Crimea decalred war with us. Must be pissed that we took her ally’s territory

22 November, 1766 – Not only did we fail to defeat Crimea at their capital, but they totally annilihated one of our armies

1 January, 1767 – Land, naval and gvnt techs all increases

16 January, 1767 – We cracked their capital’s defense and are now laying siege

1 March, 1767 – Production tech increases

10 March, 1767 – After a quick assault, the Crimean capital (Crimea) fell to us.

17 June, 1767 – Cherson fell to the same army that took Crimean after an assault

23 June, 1767 – Kouban fell

1 July, 1767 – Our trade tech increased

26 July, 1767 – Lugansk fell

4 August, 1767 – Sunda grew and more colonists were sent.

3 September, 1767 – Inhambane expands. More settelers are dispatched

5 September, 1767 – After decades, Thang Long has converted

30 September, 1767 – Crimea has agreed to become our vassal for peace

1 October, 1767 – I create Transylvania and Serbia as vassal states.

Let’s now take a look at my new Ottoman provinces:


Thrace – Ah yes, the jewel. 999999 Sunni Turks farm grain in this COT making 20.53 ducats annually. It is currently building a level 3 fort, and when that is complete, I’ll send a missionary

Kartli – 172042 Orthodox Georgians work the copper mines here. This province is back in the mines area that I already had. 57.01 ducats are made here. I ordered a Constable.

Ragusa – This minor province is the land bridge between our Croatian holdings and everything else. The Catholic 118019 Croats fish the Adriatic Sea. 13.2 ductas are made here. I ordered a constable built here as well

Zeta - 55557 Orthodox Serbian fishermen make just 8.18 ducats. I order nothing for here, it’s pretty poor.

Albania – 99820 Albanian Orthodox shepherds make 7.51 ducats in the wool trade. I order nothing here either.

I could release Zeta as Montenegro and Albania as herself. However, I would sever the land link between my Croatian provinces and my Greek ones.

Macedonia – The final Greek province. When I annexed the Ottomans, I wanted three provinces, this, Kartli and Thrace. 155836 Orthodox grain farmers generate 10.33 ducats. I order a constable here.

Bulgaria – Having this province is more chance than anything else. I could release it and Silistria as Bulgaria. I have no serious attachment to Silistria, but this is a solid province. The iron mines here make 41.54 ducats by the 160338 Orthodox Bulgarians. I ordered a Constable here

Silistria – This coastal Black Sea province is north of Thrace. 57514 Orthodox Bulgarian Fishers make 9.44 ducats. This province holds no value for me.


Then I have four provinces that I don’t want. They are isolated by themselves and I can’t make a vassal with them.


Pecs – This is the eastern European one (the other three are Russian ones). Pecs is 13.14 grain farming Catholic Hungarian ducats of happy. 59165 live here. It is a core of Austria and Hungary. I do not want it, deep into land as it is.


These are the three deep Russian provinces. I will pretend they do not exist.
