What I Played Today: June 12

Europa Universalis III

I finally annexed Orleans, didn't expect that to happen, so that's cool. The French state was looking in pretty good shape, and then one of my allies went to war. I have an alliance with them, it would be dickish of me not to help. And then...

So I go to war with my ally's enemy, who just happens to be allied to...England and Castille, my two main competitors. Castille is allied to Portugal, so Portugal tilts, breaking their alliance with me, and my ally backstabs me and we are suddenly at war as well. So I'm at war with 8 different countries, and suddenly have a war on three fronts. Then England sends a spy into one of my newer regions and incites revolt, so I've got an enemy inside as well. In other words, I'm pretty boned, nobody is willing to sue for peace, and my armies and cities just start falling. It was kind of a shit show, all because I was just trying to help a friend. Luckily I have a save before it all went down, so, let's retry this.
