You can make edits to a plan without anyone's input, but the polite thing to do would be quote or tag folks and ask their permission if they still want to remain with your revised. (don't expect everyone to respond though, it's just how quests roll) If you're really that willing to make the change, that is. Just saying your hands aren't tied.

I'm thinking of swapping out Spy Networking with Spy on Poland and Drilling the Troops with Request Artillery. Any objections to either swap?

Eh, I would prefer Spy Networking, to start keeping tabs on Mongols sooner than later.
No objections about Artillery.

Alright, seeing as its been eleven hours since I first asked about edits, I've gone ahead and edited Random Plan to replace Drill the Troops with Request Artillery.

Woop! Wife is happy and safe. Kids are happy and our heir is literate. Canon roll sucks but recruitment is decent and vassal raising isn't that bad.

"Why does mother have to go west?" Alexi asked as you all watched her ride out of the city with her retinue.
"She has a duty to her people. And sometimes that duty requires her to leave for a time." You replied.
"Does that means she does not love us?" Dmtry asked.
You nodded. "Of course she still loves you." You knelt down to your children's height and put your hands on Dmtry and Ivan. "She always will. She just has to leave for a few months."
You didn't know if it was a lie or not. The Polish nobility was not clear on the living arrangements she would be living in, how you and your wife would be able to be together, and your children were unhappy about being away from their mother.

(Continued in: The Times Spent Together)
Disaster Roll: 1D100 => 23
Stefan opened his eyes and saw the Mongol sharpening his knife. "You are probably wondering why I have taken you?" You gritted your teeth. "All I want is information about your brother, Vlad Tepes."
"I won't tell you a damned thing." You growled.

Fucking finally!
I started to think there is no more people capable to bear arms in Russia, and we will be forced to arm bears instead.
Mongols, praise your gods that we don't need to resort to such a madness!
Welp.
Now we need to find out about that IC and point Vlad at it before he attacks Turks.

God fucking damn it Vlad! We're fighting an enemy capable of destroying the entire empire and you and your unsanctioned war is risking everything. We get it, you love your brother. But you have no evidence and there are far far bigger issues than the relatively toothless Muslims.

Eh... You are forgetting that he is not at war yet, he's merely getting ready for a war with the turks and he has not officially declared one. And we had a low disaster roll... there are other factions at work that are working on calming him down.

What doesn't make sense is him harming the war effort against the much much larger and imminent threat of the mongols when the war he's prepping for is, in essence, a personal one that will be him going on the offensive, not fighting for the fate of the Empire like Vasilliy.
