It can't possibly get any worse for Burgundy | DoD Session 6
100My enemies found never-before-seen ways to make Burgundy a nightmare and we're losing horribly. Maybe we can take solace from the fact the Dual Monarchy and Elbian Confederation sacrificed 200 warscore just to take 100 warscore from me.
Session 4 ended with a 2v1: Spain betrayed me to help the Dual Monarchy after I helped him against Aragon in the early game. They pushed me back to the Netherlands. After some soul-searching, Italy remembered the favour and joined my side as session 5 began. The loyal Batavians joined, and Yugoslavia came with Italy because the Ottoman Empire was threatening them both. The DM and Spain were encircled, wiped and running to the Pyrenees when they surrendered. They multi-province retreated their defeated armies out and continued to run, as we stopped following up and prepared to add wargoals. Then one of the most disgusting moves in Vic2 multiplayer history happened: they retracted their surrender. Doing that is allowed, usually in a case of diplomacy changing or peace terms being rejected. The DM/Spanish brigades which were actively encircled upon their surrender were deleted but the momentum we had, and the ability to follow-up and wipe their whole army, was lost. That cannot be objectively calculated. Then The Elbian Confederation surrendered his eastern war just to join, and after some close, intense battles, they won. Spain took all my Indian colonies, but the Mughals and Japan declared war on them immediately after, leading to the Europe vs Asia war which is currently ongoing. Scandinavia took another 100 warscore in the British Isles in the meantime.
For me, it's one of the worst campaigns I've ever been in because nations are going out of their way, sacrificing gains elsewhere, just to get at me, and they are pushing the small permissive ruleset to its absolute extremes to screw me over. It has been very demoralising, but I'll rebuild my army and see what happens next.

Multiplayer campaign means I talk less to chat and focus on the game. I'll respond to superchats & members during rehosts if I have time! I can't take responsibility for what other players say during this game, I will mute myself or others if I have to.
