Kings of Europe - Starting Conditions
As an introduction to Europa Universalis 4 multiplayer, this campaign will focus on the major powers in Europe. The players will each pilot one of seven dominant monarchies as they compete for the highest score at game end. The nations available, kingdoms and empires that guided the course of history, are all nations that are normally assigned the "lucky" status and are chosen for their competitive proximity. Players will be able to choose their nation in 1444 by order based on my arbitrary understanding of their game experience.
The top score in 1821 will earn an Ardbeg 10 year Single Islay Malt Scotch Whiskey, which they can sip on while contemplating their strategy for the next campaign.

Ottoman Empire - Sultan Mehmet II Fatih - Before the Turks can begin to invade Europe or Arabia they will likely wish to secure the remainder of Greece and Anatolia. Constantinople still holds out against the Sultan, but with few soldiers and fewer allies they will not hold long. The Ottomans face no immediate threats and domination of the eastern Mediterranean is all but assured, but with little opportunity to participate in the "Age of Exploration" the Ottomans are more likely to expand their influence through invasion. Able to pick and choose their targets at leisure, the Turkish empire has a very real chance at outperforming their Christian counterparts. Their only drawback is a moderate handicap in technological progress that can only be removed through the option of pain-staking westernization.
Kingdom of France - King Charles VII de Valois - Paris is challenged on both east and west for control of France by the rival king of England and the upstart duke of Burgundy. While neither of these foes can threaten Charles' realm on its own, poor diplomacy could see Paris further stripped of its domains. On the other hand, with the right allies and proper timing, France can become an unstoppable war machine capable of dominating western Europe as well as securing an overseas empire.
Kingdom of Castile - King Juan II de Trastamara - The king of Castile has early opportunities to expand south at the expense of their muslim neighbors and can easily be one of the first powers to access the New World, but must deal with the kingdom of Aragon if they hope to ever feel safe on the Iberian peninsula and unify Spain. Conquering the Catalans is one path to this end, but Castile can also remain amiable with their rival in hopes of unification with Aragon via the Iberian Wedding. Unified, the Spanish can easily dominate colonization and world trade with only inflation from their vast income as their most threatening rival after France and England.
Archduchy of Austria - Emperor Friedrich III von Hapsburg - In 1444, the duke of Austria leads the Holy Roman Empire and is poised to hold the title for many generations if they can avoid angering the Electors. As the emperor, Austria is able to manipulate the complicated imperial politics in ways that can allow them unchecked expansion across Germany and Italy, but will also be required to pay tireless attention to the empire's internal integrity and its member states' defensive needs. An over-ambitious, negligent, or plain unlucky emperor may fail to secure the title for his heir, but that alone will not lead to Austria's decline and the title can always be regained in a future election. Far more threatening is the growth of France to the west and the Ottomans to the East. If the emperors can help their traditional Hungarian allies hold back the Turkish advance while also keeping France from annexing Italy's wayward states, Austria can freely dominate whatever theater it chooses.
Kingdom of England - King Henry VI Lancaster - Ruled by an inept and incapable young monarch with no heir, England's early obstacles will be avoiding the War of the Roses, maintaining their hold on their valuable provinces in France, and then filling in the technological deficit that is normally left behind from Henry's rule or lack thereof. The future can be much brighter, however, if England maintains their glorious navy in order to protect the homeland. Unifying the British Isles and taking advantage of colonization opportunities around the world will guide trade flow back to London and allow England to maintain their presence in mainland Europe, create an overseas empire, or, ideally, both.
Kingdom of Poland - Interregnum - The kingdom of the Poles is without a king in 1444, the last having perished during the crusade against the Ottomans, but this has left them with a valuable opportunity. Due to other threats from the East, the Lithuanian nobles have offered a unique alliance with Poland for their shared defense and the nation will be presented with the option to form a powerful personal union with Lithuania. The union of Poland and Lithuania, which can later be formally united as the Commonwealth, will be the uncontested power of eastern Europe and will have avenues of expansion into the Baltic and Black seas as well as control of all the trade that comes with these regions. If the growing influence of the Muscovites can be held in check, the king's of Poland will only be restrained by their unpredictable elective monarchy.
Kingdom of Sweden - King Christopher von Wittelsbach - In 1444, Sweden's and Norway's crowns have been given to the King of Denmark by their respective nobles, partly due to the lack of other strong claimants and partly out of fear of growing German influence in the Baltic. However, the Swedes have quickly come to regret this move, as the concerns of Denmark have clearly eclipsed any Swedish influence within the union. Before Sweden can regain control of the Baltic and rise to dominance over Scandinavia, the nation will first need to accomplish the tricky task of freeing itself from the Kalmar Union and crowning its own truly Swedish king. This will require the support of strong allies who rival the Danish or fear a unified Scandinavia.

In the opening session the player nations chose to work together, seeming to agree that assuring their nations early growth and security was worth helping their opponents achieve the same. England quickly rose in points and influence due to France turning a blind eye on their sweeping invasion of Scotland and then extending their reach to Scandinavia by conquering Jutland while fighting for the independence of the Swedish. Although the English appear to be the unchallenged power of the North, Sweden and its new king are now free to pursue their own agenda. Unlikely to be satisfied with their current Baltic holdings, the Swedish will have to decide if they are comfortable sharing the northern waters with their English allies.
In southern Europe, Castile finished the Reconquista and secured the southern coastline of Iberia after a long war against Granada's North African allies. With this goal secured, the king of Castile sent his armies to support his French allies in the ill-fated attack on the upstart duke of Burgundy, but by the time of their arrival the plans of the French king and his ally, the Austrian emperor, had thoroughly fallen apart. Despite the heavy numerical superiority of the French and Imperial armies, the strategically placed castles of Burgundy allowed the duke and his Breton allies to divide and destroy his enemies piecemeal. With many close battles and huge casualties on both sides, the attempted subjugation of Burgundy lost the French king the fiefs of Lyonnais and Dauphine for his trouble.
In the East, the nobility of Poland refused to join with that of Lithuania in a personal union and instead crowned a truly Polish king. With the assistance of the duke of Pomerania, the new king secured West Prussia from the hands of the Teutonic Order while simultaneously quelling the revolts of his Orthodox subjects in the southern reaches of his realm. To their south, the unstoppable Ottomans shook the foundations of Europe by overrunning Constantinople and taking the ancient Christian city as their Muslim empire's new capital. The sultan then turned his eyes back East where he successfully went about subjugating the various independent Turkic tribes in Anatolia.

In eastern Europe, with the Ottomans engaged in lengthy wars against the tribes and petty kingdoms between the Black and Caspian Seas, the Venetians landed mercenary armies in both Greece and Anatolia in an attempt to challenge the Sunni empire's hold on Greece. The Polish controlled Holy See supported this endeavor by declaring a new crusade against the Ottoman threat, and the Hungarian king invaded Ottoman controlled Bulgaria soon afterward. As the Ottomans beat back the Venetians, the merchant republic quickly lost the will to fight and offered a white peace that allowed the Ottomans to focus on the Hungarian crusade. Further in their favor, the Ottoman's enemies in Poland and Hungary came to blows over the Polish king's forceful subjugation of the Teutonic Order. Standing alone against the empire, Hungary was inevitably brought to the treaty table by the Ottoman Sultan and there he was forced to pay tribute to the Turks.
The alliance of Castile and France destroyed the armies of the king of Aragon and Naples in order to allow the Castilian king to claim the Catalan county of Zaragoza, and the king of France began to exert his influence over the neighboring dukes who had grown accustomed of their independence. The trade center in Provence was brought into the French domain, as well as the rich lands of Loire that had recently been taken by the duke of Brittany.
The duke of Burgundy, victor in the long war against France and the Holy Roman Emperor, quickly brought his armies into the tiny duchy of Lorraine, claiming it for his own. This aggression was enough to frighten many of the Empire's other dukes and bishops into coalition that launched a devastating punitive war against the Burgundians that crippled their's armies and forced Burgundy to relinquish control of almost half his domain. As soon as their peace treaty with the duke expired, the Austrian Emperor then further punished Burgundy by forcibly liberating his remaining Imperial territories and taking them into the Duchy of Austria.
To the north, an AI controlled England (Chaching was absent) conquered Ulster and Munster from the weak Irish earls but bloodlessly lost control of half their Danish territory, which swore allegiance to the Danish king. Sweden, on the other hand, consolidated their new Danish domains but has not been able to help their allies in Novgorod resist subjugation by the Muscovites. With most of the Republic's cities occupied by the Muscovites, Novgorod's fall seems imminent.

|
A Swedish invasion of Muscovite Karelia, supported by the English, was thrown off track by the French attack on England's continental holdings. The Swedish and English lost both wars resulting in drastic reductions of influence for both kingdoms. France was supported by their faithful Castilian allies who were forced to turn on their Portuguese neighbors, allies to the English. France received further assistance when the barons of the newly independent kingdom of Naples revolted against their liege in favor of the king of France's claim. The Neapolitan king stepped down in the bloodless coup and the crown of Naples was united with France. By the end of the session France was the first nation to capture their victory card and had secured a large lead that was still growing.
In the East, the Ottoman Empire continued to expand its influence over its neighbors in Mesopotamia but was forced to relinquish some of its lands in Europe to a combined Crusade of Poland and Lithuania. In the center of it all Austria bided its time, recovering from last session's wars and continuing to secure election as Holy Roman Emperor.

Back on the offensive in Europe, the Ottomans took the opportunity provided by a bloody war between allies Hungary and Austria against the Italian powers of Venice and Savoy, to capture almost of Greece from the Venetians. The war in the Alps costed all involved heavily but resulted in little change of borders. Castile would also be involved in Mediterranean politics from now on due to the Iberian Wedding and the union of Aragon to the kingdom of Castile, but most of their attention was spent on increasing their control over their neighbors in Portugal and Morocco. Castile's victory card lies in French lands, as does England's, but the alliance of Castile and France continued throughout the session, and France was free to continue subjugating the duke's of Burgundy and Brittany.
The alliance of England and Sweden had mixed success as they regained control over the Danish territories but were then invaded in turn by punitive coalitions from the German states. The resulting wars were long, drawn out until the coalition's demands were less harsh, and both nations, as well as their Polish allies, were ragged by the end of the session. However, Sweden was able to fight of an opportunistic invasion from the Norwegians, and solidified its dominance over Scandinavia.

The Reformation has begun and its centers are heavily concentrated in the Holy Roman Empire where it is championed by Bohemia and Brandenburg. All the other major Christian powers have continued to support the Pope in Rome. While the Austrian Emperor struggles to maintain authority in his diversifying empire, he successfully prosecutes wars against the Bohemians and the Venetians that extend his influence and cripple their power. With their armies routed, the Venetians are unable to stop the Ottomans from capturing the majority of their eastern island strongholds and the unopposed Turks continue on to invade the lands of the Mamluks around Aleppo. While the Austrians and Spanish focus on wars in the Italian states, Poland and Serbia attack their Hungarian allies in order to extend their borders and liberate the Croatian kingdom.
In the far north, Sweden strikes first in the inevitable confrontation between it and Norway over Scandinavian dominance. With the Emperor subduing Norway's German allies, Sweden is able to subjugate much of the Norwegian lands. Across the Atlantic, England, Spain, and France are all heavily investing in the ideas of overseas colonization and there seems to be endless wealth for the three nations to divide up between themselves.

Another Polish crusade against the Ottoman threat was backed by Austrian and Lithuanian troops. After initial success, the Christian armies suffered disastrous defeats outside the walls of Istanbul and a treaty was signed that maintained the status quo. The failure of the war had resounding effects on the populace of Poland and the kingdom's clergy soon cut ties with Rome by sanctioning the formation of the independent Church of Poland. The kingdom's historically good relations with Lithuania, who remained Catholic, were lost soon after, and war followed when Poland asserted its claim over Podlasie.
The Austrian emperor, refocused on domestic issues, waged successful campaigns against the duke of Savoy and the republic of Venice in order to expand his control into northern Italy, but the number of princes in the Holy Roman Empire that had turned to the heretical teachings of the Reformation was steadily growing. A Protestant League had formed and, by the end of the session, a vast conflict challenging the Catholic emperor had begun. Meanwhile, the kings of France and Spain agreed to take up the crusade banner and launched a massive invasion of Greece from the shores of Naples. The Ottomans met the Catholic armies in northern Greece and the battles that followed would leave tens of thousands of casualties on the battlefield for both sides. The Catholic crusaders were soon joined by the opportunistic Polish and at length the Turkish Sultan was forced to give up some control of Greece and Bulgaria.
The French and Spanish soldiers were immediately thrust into further conflict when the English king, now calling his domain Great Britain, attempted to claim the shores of Brittany. While the many colonies across the Atlantic tore each other apart and their fleets destroyed each other, the British were unable to secure a foothold on the mainland that could withstand the combined French and Spanish forces. With no allies in continental Europe and enemy troops landing in Ireland, Great Britain admitted defeat. The British had made advances elsewhere though, as their alliance with Sweden continued to extend their control over Norway and its islands.
