I started the game only to find out that the AI had screwed up for me and that I had been crushed in a coalition war. The worst thing about this was that I suddenly had truces with everyone, which meant I couldn't attack anyone.
At least, that was until I found out that I could fabricate a claim on Kurland, which led to me being at war with Denmark (alliance with Liv Order), which was awesome because I still had some claims on Danish provinces lying around and Denmark was being destroyed by Aragon. So, after a small war I got four new provinces: Memel, Kurland, Marienburg and Riga. My only problem at this moment is the fact that Poland is denying me access, which means that some of my troops are stuck, but I will fix this in the next session.
Also, I became Emperor. Yay?
