Been enjoying the extended peace, coffers are looking good and I'm frantically trying to cultivate an urban planner to get Hamburg to citadel level. Seems the most reliable way is building walls, even though the source I'm reading says roads, churches, government halls, and ports have a chance of growing it. Mercenary German foot knights just appeared, so I won't be lacking infantry when I go for Bern and Venice, just hope the garrisons aren't too crazy, Bern looks light, so I'm relying on spies, Venice seems more dug in so I'll bring trebs. Righftful heir with 4 stars got a random wife, worthless heir is in his 70s, so might be able to get the succession back how I want it. Stupid crash just happened but luckily didn't do anything important that I can't redo just yet.
