Yep, playing with all expansions except mandate of heaven for my next two runs. Chinook full North American colonization and conquest, followed by Byzantium restoring the Roman Empire.
Both very different games.
After that, I'll likely update to the latest version and pick up mandate of heaven.
And I'd like to do a The Knights > Jerusalem, with no declaring on fellow Christians.
Thanks for your interest and support. <3
sounds interesting, especially since the Knights can raid all the heathen coasts!
Heck, I think they can even raid heretic christian coasts..
Heh, well all Christians will be safe in my run. Unless, of course, I get declared on, then no mercy.
Um... what do I do? Can't vassalize because I have -999 diplo points. Persia is blocking my coring range...
Less than 6 years, so not a lot of options. Stability is at -3 and I still have at least 2 truces left to break. I can't "threaten" persia for a province in vanilla.
@atwix @Dominion, @TheDutchWarlord, @windwalker14
I'm getting 7 admin a month, and need 192 for each stab boost (internal conflicts). I'm reallllly close, just wrapping up a few final countries. Rebels roam the land, but the earliest one can declare independence is in 40 months. Shall I wrap up all my wars, then declare on Persia for coring access once I get stab up to -2 again? Will Persia still be my vassal after the war?
I guess shirvan isn't close enough....
See? Really close.
I could theoretically annex Persia in two wars, but they also are allied with some of my other disloyal vassals.

Is it possible to feed Mazandaran to Persia? or maybe be even more of an Asshole to Persia and take land from them in the subject interaction, to get the needed land connection, that's all I think might work
Nope, no transfer occupation in vanilla.
Rebels eventually enforced demands before I could get enough admin to raise stab to break the truces.
Whats funny is that I could give Tab a province that they could core, but not vice versa.
Of all the restrictions of vanilla, not being able to transfer occupation is the most ridiculous.
i got 99%, so let's just say I won. Write-up coming soon. Time to move on from stupid vanilla

keep war ongoing and declare on the persia or one of their allies, core through occupied persia.
full annex all nations in seperate peace in last years if you can't take it all in seperate peace, and end wc with lot of overextension. you still get achievement.
if you can't seperate peace for last peace deals due to -999 diplo, then untrain any idea groups as last drastic measure, or use estates for some points (edit derp, vanilla. nevermind...)

Ok.
More into Poland.
Bye Poland, time to annex.
Congratz, bro. Sweden is overpowered.
Regency council for over four years... ok.
Move my troops into position for the regency council end. Stocked up a little admin points.
Yay, end of regency. So, this ruler, his heir, and eventually that heirs heir (and maybe even that heirs heirs heir) all have 1 admin. Cool story bro. Not like I need admin points or anything.
Got any tea, old chap?
This picture is redundant, but it's taken like 15 months later.
Thanks bud.
When you think France, do you think of an island OPM? I think of an island OPM.
I guess it's time to start breaking up these love birds. Might need a Heimlich maneuver for the Chokwe.
Pew pew, independence. Good stuff I guess.
Hahaha. As an American, I have to say that football is kind of a religion to some people.
Tastes like chicken.
More HRE.
Maybe Sweden is underpowered after all.
Argh matey. What's a pirate favorite letter? "Argh."
Norwegian pirates are called Vikings. From Norwega.
Black Jack.
#ThxJapan
Thank Yue, thank you.
Who needs explorers when you have conquistadors? Wasn't sure you could do this.
I titled this picture, "1806 HRE." Um, insert funny comment here.
Au revoir. Or, as I like to say, anti-bonjour.
Northumberlands! Get your Northumberlands here! Just 112 ducats!
The dwindling kingdom of Ternate succumbs to the mighty Ottomans. Don't worry, in a parellel universe I'll have bothered to play Ternate and conquer the Ottomans.
Pew pew, muskets, bayonets, tea dumping, cannons, liberty, and independence.
Lots of wars to tie up various loose ends.
Annex Fulo...
Release Fulo. No diplo points needed, since I'm already at -999.
Time to start truce breaking.
Yay.
If you don't get the achievement right away, wait two days. DON'T WORRY, IT'S COMING GUYS.
I'm not an achievement whore, but I do like achievements. 66% as much though I like to make my own achievements.
Annex Switzerlake and Brandenburger.
We, the people, in order to form a more perfect union....
USA! USA!
Thanks, GB!
For some reason, Wuttemberg wanted to join against Ottomans, Ottoman Brazil, everyone and their mother and their cousin and their mother's cousin.
Second truce break.
More truce break.
I like maple syrup.
Thx, 'Murica.
Pew pew. Someone get my lightning rod, because we got some high revoltage!
....
....
Anyone?
I'll hide in a corner now.
Not to be confused with external conflicts, or internal proflicts.
I'm glad we could come to a gentleman's agreement.
Pretty much shows the max extent of my territory. I release Persia to try to get Taberestan (see above post), fail, but I do finish off Austria and Silesia.
Eh, I got 99%, which is good enough for me. That's an A+.
Thanks all for reading.

Haha, I know right? Vanilla is stupid. 98.6% of my hundreds of hours is with vanilla Otto WC, time to be amazed at all the new features, playing different countries, 55% more fun, and 310% less tedium.
Oh, and can't declare on vassal anyways, because they're in a war together with you.

i don't know if i have to laugh or cry at such an end to a nice AAR
Congrats on winning. Hope you have some hair left after these WC runs, I recommend Persia for your next WC.

Oh, there won't be another WC. I'm perfectly fine with starting much smaller and growing medium.
Chinook, then Byzantium campaigns likely next. Then maybe The Knights > Jerusalem. Persia is a bit too close to the Ottomans for now, as I'd like to see the world.
Though I guess The Knights and Byzantium are too, but eh. They're Christian.

Sorry if I disappointed. I really wanted 100% too, but I'm happy with how insanely close I got, and it's time to move on after so many runs. I mean, if I wasn't so stubborn and actually played with DLC, I should have gotten it... maybe with Common Sense off for easier expansion.
