First player war between Novgorod / Teutonic Order Vs Livonian Order just ended in an unconditional surrender of the Livonians.

Teutonic Order absorbed the Livonian Order! Pope appears and blesses this reunion of autonomous brotherhoods.

Novgorod at war again! This time with Ryazan.

Massive Player coalition formed against the Ottomans!

These are the faction events which fired. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FGUdtF-XIAkZLBN.jpg

Venice was partitioned! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FGUdxQLWQAQdgls.jpg

The Theocrats decided against consolidation in the HRE. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FGUeAKgXwAU2rZh.jpg

Muscovy separate peace with Novgorod, meaning Ryazan stands alone. Will Novgorod pull off their second player war victory?

Ryazan vassalised by Novgorod! Our northern traders are 2/2 in player wars now!

Ottomans held firm! Only lost a handful of provinces to the players. Very good peace for the AI.

Majorca at war with Aragon again! They are *determined* to get the Tinto offices!

We’re back after the break. Knights got declared on by the Mamluks!

Ragusa (and Salzburg + Three Leagues) declared war on Wallachia! Rumours of tensions between them were true. Wallachia outnumbered 3-1!

Correction it was against Albania. Albania/Wallachia Vs Ragusa/Genoa/Salzburg/Three Leagues

This war just keeps getting bigger! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/FGVFGwrXIAY3lfk.png

Wise words! https://clips.twitch.tv/MoldyBrightAntelopeOSsloth-00XGsZfAq_1YSJIr

Ragusa was defeated, and have now moved to Stronghai. Meanwhile Livonia have a new throne in Medina.

@InfiniteTimesEf @CrabbyX10 It's scripted for this event :)

Big player war in Iberia! Majorca and Genoa Vs Navarra, Desmond and Brittany. Strong opening move by Majorca destroying the Navarran army and Desmond navy!

Ryazan's government sneak out and take over Kazan instead. Ryazan had entered a death spiral following their tenure as Novgorod's vassal.

It's a horse with wings! http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1469684529434607626/pu/img/xNNJAzkcQgL-X-ZF.jpg
