So I was only 2 regions away from victory and things actually couldn't have been worst
literally, they couldn't have been worst lol
Timurids decided to besiege Antioch
Poland besieged 2 of my regions and stupid Sicily laid siege to Tunis
I was actually sure to lose both Antioch and Tunis, and losing Antioch would've put me in crisis mode .. so I employed my crazy secret plan to secure victory
I actually probably got lucky with this victory, because in the previous turn I backed away from fighting a truly MASSIVE HRE army and another powerful HRE army within a settlement ... full of feudal knights and everything and I only had infantry and not any archers so I was screwed
... but then I noticed that my army moved behind the HRE fortress and there was another powerful HRE army there adjacent to it ... so basically there were 3 armies from the HRE (1 full stack outside which I backed away from, strong army inside the settlement, and strong army adjacent to it)
So I masterfully conquered the fortress and controlled the central plaza before the other army got a chance to get there ... So that other giant army didn't have a chance to get there lol and is still waiting outside lmao ... I literally snuck in
Then I was only 1 region away so I was like screw it, I'm taking Milan controlled Florence, the last city remaining in Italy ... and good thing I had bombards on me ... I wasn't at war with Milan but like that mattered
I was a settlement away
So I put together a full army from neighboring Italian settlements and crashed in leading to this
I'd like to extend a special thanks to the HRE for being my #1 b!tch in this game ... I think I decimated this factions armies the most and they were indeed the most pathetic faction LOL
