  • My armies retreated from Holland to... Burgundy or some ally south of Normandy instead of to Zeeland, the province right below Holland. Wat?

Maybe i'll try Castille or Portugal instead. :-/

LET'S TRADE WITH.... WE'RE AT WAR WITH THEM? SINCE WHEN? DID I DO THAT? DID I CAUSE AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT? WHAT IS HAPPENING.
