Kingdom of France
England has been pushed away from the North and the menace over Paris is over. Now, with the Northern menace finished, we send 10 war galleys and 2 transports near Bordeaux and make a landing there with 1,000 troops that lay siege to the city. Later, 13,000 soldiers advance into English Guyenne from the South and the North occupying two-thirds of the English Guyenne. Seeing that Burgundy can no longer be considered as an enemy to the French crown, we send them a white peace proposal, which we expect them to accept. In case of a negative reply, 12,000 soldiers are placed in Lyon. Most of the rest of the army awaits in Normandy and Caen. Even if the war seems to be resulting in a French victory, we don't trust totally our vassals, and we retreat the lords of Orléans, Béarn and Bourbonnais from their power, thus, annexing those fiefs to the main French crown. A proposal of alliance is sent to Castile and to Scotland (clarifying, the Scottish one is to defend against the English who tried to conquer France). A non-aggression pact is delivered to the Ottomans, and we wait for their answer. The rest of the French fleet awaits in Sainte-Nazaire and we increase our army. Fortifications are built in Cherbourg and Caen.

England has accepted a peace request and abandoned Guyenne and the Channel islands. Now that the menace is no more, France will begin to increase the defence systems. We also accept the Portuguese proposal of a non-aggression pact.

Kingdom of England
In response for pushing back the forces nearby Paris, England advances in little battle outside the city border of Bordeaux. Being a sea power, England blockades ports near Calais and Normandy, bombarding the regions. England also ask Scotland for peace in return for Northern Ireland. We wait for their response quietly. Meanwhile in Ireland, wanting the entire Lordship over Ireland, they invade. English troops are put aboard ships to jump off and attack Normandy, just like D-Day. Although currently excited to fight this war, they request peace to France, giving them the conditions they ask to keep. But England pays no war reparations want so ever. England also retreats forces back from Normandy to England and release their blockade.

Duchy of Savoy
The Duchy Of Savoy Contacts Norway about supporting independence and guaranteeing protection, in return, they get a few Norwiegen ships to help boost their defense at sea. They find out Burgundy has already offered protection and an independence guarantee to the Norwiegen, and the three sign an allience, known as the "Oslo Conference". They come up with a plan to partition Provence with Burgundy, and inform the English that they are funding them in their war struggle against France. They manage to get their ally, Venice, into the Oslo Conference. With Byzantium in imminent need of protection, and France aligning themselves with the Ottomans, a rivalry is set between pro Ottoman forces and Savoy and Burgundy, and, to a greater extent, the Oslo conference. With a military built up and a Partition plan in place, Savoy invades Provence. The army, already outnumbering the Provence forces, flood across the border, they crush the first unit of resistance in Provence coastline, but it slows the war effort slightly. They also come up with a plan to partition Milan with their ally, Venice. But people worry that aggression within the HRE may force Austrian intervention. By the end of the year, a third of Provence is occupied, and the troops now wait for Burgundy to join the war. And at the end of the year, They offer refuge to the Byzantine King in case of an Ottoman invasion.

Kingdom of Hungary
The military itself is starting to build up via a conscription, which we increased the military by around 200 in case we are preparing an invasion on Bosnia after annexing Croatia or defending from the Ottoman Empire. Croatia is now being annexed to gain naval access for blockading ports but this might take a long time for building navies since we have no navy. Also fearing that the Ottoman Empire is ready to conquer more of Europe, they would plan to build fortifications across the capital (Buda) and one near the borders of Moldavia, this one is deployed only around 3,000 and begin deploying 5,000 to the capital and 1,000 on other cities. The rest is only defending the rural and the whole Hungarian lands. Hungary accepts the Venetian alliance.

Duchy of Burgundy
At the first, Burgundy makes a white peace with France, with neither side gaining anything. Later on that same year, Burgundy sells Anjou to France, and gains 2,000$. Burgundy also use conscription to earn 550 troops. that means we lose 500$. Burgundy also gifts Ghent to Aragon in exchange of protection. Burgundy also signs an alliance with Norway. For war against Province, we start funding our army to be ready attack it on next turn. we also start annexing our vassal, Flanders into us.

Emirate of Najd
The Emirate of Najd, noting it's central location in Arabia and being sandwiched between Diriyah and Hejaz, focuses on the building of it's revenue to achieve a formidable force in Arabia. 300 soldiers are in training at Ha'il barracks. One fortification is built in Central Najd, where 3,000 troops are stationed in Fort Ahmar. Trade continues with Jabal Shammar, earning substantial revenue for Najd, and income taxations from Ha'il and Buraidah also add to the country's total cash of $47,800

Chilcotin Indians
The Chilcoltins take 500 reserve total forces into the military, and begin to produce boats. Settlers expand east. They create an alliance with their southern neighbor, Salish. For future plans, the people begin to think about creating boats to spy on the Haida people. However, some boats are put into production to build a city on Vancouver Island. The Chilcotin Indians make an economical strait in the Strait of Georgia. All ships whom travel within the Strait of Georgia earns the Chilcotin Indians money. St. George is declared as the capital of the Chilcotin Indians.

Inca Empire
The little tribe of the Incas is like any other tribe. Living of farming, in the mountains, the Inca have lived long years locked in the Cusco valley. Not for long, though.

The new era arrives with the new ruler. Mountains are not a limit now. Scouts cross the hills, locating more and more tribes. Cusco is a small valley, the Inca deserve a large empire. That is the reason why the Inca have marched into the small tribe of farmers, killing and enslaving everyone in sight. Farmers cannot defend, and very few Incan warriors fell in battle. Some hostages are sacrificed, some are taken into the army, but most are forced to work on farms. Some lands of the tribe are annexed, and other people are let to live peacefully, at least for now.

Incan boys are willing to join the army, and are waged with cloth (currency is not invented).

Most Serene Republic of Venice
Venice increases trade with the Mamluk Sultanate, and asks them to become Venice's trade partner. Diplomatic relations with Savoy increase as the Signoria decides to further increase their limited influence of the Holy Roman Empire. The Doge visits Tyrol as relations dramatically increase between the 2 nations.

The Trade Dispute between the Ottomans and Venice started as the Ottomans refused to trade with Venice and banished Venetian traders from Constantinople. In response, the Ottomans' traders are banished from the City of Venice, and the Signoria sends support for the vassals of the Ottomans who demand independence. Diplomats are sent to Byzantium, Serbia, Wallachia, and Sparta.

Venice sends alliance requests to the Mamluks, the Timurids, the Papal State, Hungary, and the Golden Horde. Venice starts building 3 Carracks which are finished by the end of the year. Propaganda starts against the Ottomans and 5000 more people join the Military.

Albania is invaded with the Cassus Belli of "Conquest". 2 War Galleys and 4 transports land on the coast of Albania, and 10000 troops advance deep into Albania. Half of Albania is occupied and key cities are being sieged.

The Ottoman Empire
Sultan Murad II of the Ottomans decides that the key for prosperity is money. He decides to put a tax about 5 ducats per person every year, and demands a tenth of their production for the sultan. Trade is also heavily invested in, as merchants from Trebizond, Genoa, and Greece make their money in and around the Ottoman vassal of the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as Byzantium. Murad decides that the Ottomans need more soldiers. He recruits 500 new soldiers for 100 ducats. In March, Murad begins a series of conquests for the Ottoman Empire. He invades Sinop with about 13,400 soldiers. The Sinopi army falls in a battle, losing their entire army, while Murad lost about 200 soldiers. About 1000 soldiers are sent to besiege Sinop, and a navy of 3 galleys are sailing to meet him. The countryside of Sinop is looted by the Ottoman army. While Murad allows soldiers to keep 1/4 of it, he takes the rest, adding 860 ducats to the imperial treasury. Murad decides to begin building fortifications along the northern and western borders of the kingdom due to the doge of venice exclaiming, we will destroy you. Murad decided that Venice had to be really stupid to say that. Murad declared that all Venetian merchants in any Ottoman or it's vassal's cities were to leave or die, and give the wealth in the Ottomans to the king. Trade with Genoa became more plentiful, and the Ottomans offered a free trade pact in late July. Alliances were also made with France, Castile, Aragon, and Trebizond. Venice then banned Ottoman merchants from Venice, and no one left the city. This was because there were no Ottoman merchants in that swamp they called a city! Murad spent 3 hours laughing at this statement, replying by saying, "We accept your embargo with great gratitude! Just to let it be know, if you sail pass the coast of Epirus, we will end that ship. When the Venetians, in response, invaded Albania in September, an Ottoman army of 100 gathered to seize border towns. They were doing well until an Albanian army of 400 defeated them, at an unknown location. The Ottomans did keep hold on most of these order towns, and annexed them into the Ottoman Empire. In December, the Greek vassal of Sparta rebelled, with Venetian support. With a Byzantine army, the Ottomans defeated the Spartan army, seizing their treasury of 500 ducats and gifting 100 ducats to the Byzantines. In response, Byzantium swears loyalty to the Ottoman Empire. Sparta is annexed. Murad sends spies to his vassals and intercepts numerous Venetian envoys. They are killed, and sent back to the doge with a message saying "Your next."

Empire of Trebizond
After the fall of Sinop, very many people fled to Trebizond, because they were afraid of the consequences, they would suffer. The same did many other greeks who were living in Eretna, since the state was "unfair" against them. This huge population growth made the empire unable to support the refugees, that's why the emperor, John IV the Great Komninos decided to declare war against the georgian tribes in the west in order to grow the empire's Lebensraum. The wars will start in 1452 in order to: a) raise the number of the state infantry up to 7,000 (2,000 more), using the manpower of the greek refugees who fled to the empire and b) to secure the assistance of the Ottoman Empire to this conquest.
