My personal relation to it is that I supposedly have a Polish surname because my ancestors (who were German) fought in this battle on the Polish side, and got a Polish name as an honour. I have no idea whether this is true, but it's a cool story (especially if you want to impress Polish people 😉).
Ah, thanks. I know of it as the Battle of Tannenberg. And now, we've accelerated through to 1410. This time, Lithuania was on it's own and narrowly lost. No Poland and I guess it made the difference. The history of Europe is being rewritten as we speak, and Saxony is the major author.

Will Bots build fleets and attempt amphib attacks?
They will only defend and never attack. Hence the French position.

That's not my understanding. I thought they would try to retake provinces they had lost at least while they were bots. The ByzantineBot lost Achaia while it was a bot, therefore the question is will it try to retake it by building a fleet?

France never lost a province (and certainly never will).

Not looking good for Arles, I must say. Could they be the first ones out? That's a mighty big army next door to Savoy.
The first realm that threatened the Republic will apparently be the first realm eliminated. What a coincidence!

Dunno. Saxony may give it a bash sometime. But first, some unfinished business ...

I'll be watching your efforts against a Level 12 fortress with interest.

It's weakly defended with no infantry but 3 crossbowmen. I don't think it will be much of a problem.

Don't forget the plenty cav and the defense modifiers.

EDIT: But I don't see much of a future for Arles now that Aragon has joined in on the feeding frenzy.

My understanding is that bots will not build ships. Besides, the upkeep on his new army takes up almost his entire income. He won't have hardly anything left over to build any ships.

Bavaria was the first realm to threaten you.

I wasn't referring to the empty threats and idle braggadocio that the Duke does; I was referring to the placement of troops adjacent to the Home Province.

There was no threat. My ships sailed within peacfully. There were no armies on board and no intent to attack. Venice chose to attack me and take it as a threat. He declared the war, not I.

When does the first person to take one of your home cities go down? Will that be second?
