Well true enough, I suppose.
What WOULD be a challenge would be to conquer all Europe using Diploannexation ALONE...
Any takers? Not saying you can't get into a war, just saying you cannot gain territory as a result...

Impossible. No Christian nation can diplo-annex a Muslim nation, and vice-versa, and then there's pagans.
Addicted to EU all over again... hooray expansions!
Here's a challenge: sure, it was great when Strategy conquered the world by 1700. But I want to see someone conquer it by 1600.
Or, better yet, do it by 1500

Done it already as the Hedjaz. March 15th 1492
Any challengers
On one game I am working on. I plan to conquer the world by 1655. May be 1650 if I am lucky.
March 15 1492? Sorry, Lionheart, not possible. Did you mean 1592? If you did, that's pretty darn impressive, especially as the Hedjaz. Gimme screenshots!

Mostly use the diplo-annex option with those awesome Hedjaz leader stats. Europe I had to conquer which was a bit trickier but normally a simple task of walking in.Originally posted by Sharur

France was probably the trickiest. That took 12 days
What do you mean, You don't believe me ? On my honour sir.
Well, apart from the X-ian/Musulman problem, there's a challenge I won't be playing. No aggressive wars!?!? Get outa'ere! :-)Originally posted by Soapy Frog

But that's cheatin'! The Hedjaz are more than a superpower in this game, you know. Try it with some minor like Spain or Russia instead.Originally posted by Lionheart

But Turkey et al can barely be considered European, so feel free to wage agressive wars against THEM... and of course there would be no way to diplo-annex them anyway.
So you can get your aggressions out on the heathens.
The rest of Europe, on the other hand, should be perfectly do-able using diplo-annexation.
What country are you playing?Originally posted by Brad1

France.
Sorry I didn't have much time to post that. I waited to annex Spain for a while so that they could build but their oversees empire, but I conquered all the lands to the east of me. Then I conquered Spain, Portugal and the english. Now All I have to do is conquer Asiaand some parts of Africa.
May be I oughta send screenshots.
Actually, did it by 1622, to be precise.Originally posted by Sharur

Man!!
To the game you stay a slave
I think a few take-over-the world screenshot AARs would be great. I've contributed with two of them, but I can't be expected to do all nations all on my own.Originally posted by Brad1

Still, France is an exellent nation for a quick takeover. When you "waited" for Spain, did you happen to notice if the Spainards exploited the fact that you'd whacked most other European powers? I haven't seen any AI exploit my exploits, as it were, yet.
I had a lot of BB wars with all the countries and I weakened Spain but I left them enouth power to still explore and colonise.Originally posted by adamxxx1

Well I've still got Spain sending out few colonists in South America in 1660 so the colonisers don't seem to stop. Seeing that they have so many provinces in the region it's not quite the same but I've seen Turkey colonise Kenya (for me
France OTOH, seems to just love those TP's in Africa so I guess I'll just have to take their last colony (in South America) to "encourage" further colonists out.
As for keeping the natives, it doesn't always work. I kept some nice peacable ones in Aires and only needed one further colonist to be sent some time in the future. Then the Spanish attacked. Before I could withdraw my troops, the natives attacked the colony and then were annihilated by the Spaniards. That's cost me one more colonial expedition now
That's strange. No matter how much I leave the major colonizers alone, they never seem to colonize much once BB wars are one. And the colonize out of their scripted areas reluctantly indeed.Originally posted by Brad1

About the challenge to conquer the world AND build cities everywhere - I put a colony on Maquerel or whatever it's called, completely forgot about it, and a few centuries later I stumbled upon it again and it had turned into a nice city all by itself. So we have to take into account that some provinces only need 1 colonist to turn into a city...wel I still don't think it's possible, but I wonder what other provinces just need 1 colonist to change into a city in a few centuries.
