Back on topic,
As the sovereign lord of the great nation of England, I was tasked with leading the English people toward a brighter future. When the Holy Roman Empire called for a crusade against the Muslims of Granada, I gladly left into the fray to prove ourselves beside our European brothers. Alongside Castille and Portugal, I conquered Granada in the name of my allies and our great nation! When their entire nation had been conquered by our people, I personally negotiated for Scotland to inherit the western Granada while Castille took over the east. That left the central region under Muslim control, though I know not for how long.
With a significant number of troops at my disposal, I decided to conquer Munster, the southernmost tip of fragmented Ireland. It was a short battle as I had befriended the other 3 major clans who knew not to interfere. In a short time I was the proud owner of the former lands of Munster! Suddenly, Brittany came to Munster's aid by declaring war on our great nation! Scoffing at their madness, I launched my navy to blockade their port while my troops poured in from the north. It took nearly a year but I finally conquered all of Brittany in the name of sovereign England. In our peace talks it was agreed that I would inherit 3 of Brittany's 4 provinces, leaving only one in their hands.
Now, the people of England clamor for expansion! For the first time in years our great nation is a major player in the international field... The year is 1409 and I, in the name of the great nation of England, am hopeful that the future holds much promise. The English economy is booming and our coffers are filled with a thousand chests of gold! In the next half-decade we shall recruit an explorer who will allow us to conquer the far-away lands of southern Africa and whatever lies beyond! It is my hope that England may prosper as a united kingdom under god and our great king.

In other words, I got my ass handed to me by France 3 games in a row, last game France got Scotland to declare war til I lost North Cumberland and Wales succeeded from England, and now I FINALLY didn't go bankrupt 2 years into the game. Started in 1399 and its already been a decade, I gave Calais and the other 2 French territories away (to prevent France from having a reason to declare war) and befriended France which threw diplomacy off in the region. With my super-group of Castille, France and Portugal I used my majority in the Papacy to declare a crusade against granada since they were the closest heathen state, then came back from the crusade in time to fuck up traitorous Brittany and the backstabbing Munster folk. Now, After 5 years of constant war, I'm a year or two away from my first Idea which Ill use to recruit a conquistador and a naval explorer. Don't think I can discover America yet but I can definitely take over all of South Africa, MUAHAHAHA
Game is Europa Universalis III, if anyone plays add Ehndras on Steam. Currently playing a 4way Civ V game between my cousin and 2 old B12 buddies
