hey, pachinko, you cheated didn't ya? xD, cause no way you can keep all of that unit normally... mrrk, your ally choice is great!
, spain is a nice touch, although it will be hard to keep the relationship between England and you tho. Main thing is, you want to invade it in the future right? So you ll have to think of a way to break the alliance without losing too much of your global reputation. HRE is a powerful faction, if your playing on VH/VH? And if england turns on ya and attacks on you too, lol, might be a good idea to give up a couple of settlements...
