Everything "normal".
Lucky Nations off.
1399 Start as England. First mission was to conquer Ireland.
England had a nice mission, that I got by Accident, - conquer Paris, that awarded me with heckloads of cores on france territory. I also PU'd Austria in about 20 years into game, it took over 150 years to inherit Austria, only to discover that inheriting does not give free cores!!! I was certain that forcefully intergrating does not give cores, but inheriting upon monarchs death? :'(
When Mamluks and Ottomans were destroyed by me, Byzantines went insane - They own large empire and conquer like they'd be Spain, Most of the Ex Ottoman areas are Orthodox, so I'm unable to declare holy war on those bastards

.
Bohemia is insane too, being HRE emperor for several times and inheriting several rather large nations.. (what a luck!)
I own both Mekka and Judea and am now waiting for bastard king to grow up, so I could nab spain clonies. Altho my king is only 2 years old and has very weak claim. Never the less, England has always been lead by someone from the Lancasters! First time, ever, Have I had one family line on throne for so long and I want to keep it up until this game finishes. I think I'm doing great.
