    well tehnicly Riga was German back in 1444, as most native Latvians were basicly enslaved, and worked in fields, while german merhants and artisants lived in small number in cities.
    and Riga was almost fully ethnicly German in 1444

    My only gripe with Riga is that you can't have both the OP modifier and the achievement that requires you to core the Baltic, you kinda have to leave the achievement as the last thing you do in your campaign

    Now, if you had kept the correct provinces for yourself, you could have kept Livonia as a free vassal AND formed Kurland, which flips you to a monarchy for a Protestant emperorship with no reform waste.
    As a bonus, you could have done something similar allowing you both to keep the Teutons and form Prussia later.
    You could still do these things, but it means either losing or pissing off your free marches.

    The editing style was neat, I like it. Fits perfectly for a small nation like Riga who is literally just a puppet master. Also asking your girlfriend for german names was hilarious, but there are many names why exactly Adolf? To be honest Adolphus sounds much better and doesnt have these negative connotations. 😀
    Last question: When did you steal and cried as a child? That sounded quite...personal you know? But we know you stole the Special K, we all start somewhere. 😉
