Strange Screenshots

[eliphas8]

You want to know what I think is madness? You people spamming the crap out of this thread by not cutting down on Eliphas8's post. XP

Anyway, my question to Eliphas is: When did you start your campaign?

1399

also yes big countries like that do fall, bavaria was torn apart by rebels.

[Smeghead]

I have no idea how this happened

[Ilovecheese]

Guess it's not so weird since it's happening to me, but there's only one word that I can say right now "Jackpot!"

It'll be fun keeping them from trying to break the PU.

Oh yeah! Now goo build a huge army till you inherit!

[UnitRico]

Awesome! This is so rare! The Netherlands have fo- wait...what?

This happened in Death & Taxes (which quickly became one of my favourite mods, due to the empires actually getting quite nice borders, and countries forming more often, though this is a very wierd case), and I have no idea why. The Netherlands didn't actually form, but seem to have rebelled from someone. How they got the core is something I'm still puzzled about, the only other core they have seems to be in Ghent.

Heck, it's quite a strange game indeed. Bohemia expanded into Hungary quite nicely (although they have an army that's far larger then mine, even though I have Burgundy as a vassal, which is the same size in the screenshot.), Pommerania is pretty big, although they've recently received some DoWs, Castille formed Iberia after annexing Portugal and invaded Italy instead of North Africa, and the Ottomans aren't pushovers!

Probably, what happened is that a foreign power owned the province, then Dutch nationalists appeared and took the province. If, at the time, all the other Dutch-culture countries existed, then Netherlands would have been the next choice. And when nationalists take a province/provinces, the new country will get cores on all of those provinces.

Really? I could've sworn that looked like it came out of a scenario with already better borders. Seriously, the borders look too good. :P

Just another weird thing from it, when the game was over the borders where much worse though so i cought it at its best, I think what happened is that the Hordes blobbed massiveky and then fell apart when that happens the borders are usually pretty nice which managed to stick around for awhile because of Death and Taxes being a more stable world.

Hmm, that makes sense. I'm guessing that's what happened, then.

You're playing the very latest version of Miscmods. In the new version, Nomads can settle if they either expand or contract far enough. Note that they are now have alliances and royal marriages. Assuming they have access to the sea, every coastal province on the map can be the Horde's. ; )

Saxony is voting for... Ethiopia?

[SpeedyDeletion]

My guess is that Saxony somehow turned Orthodox (HRE minors have done that sometimes). That combined with the fact that electors only vote for nations that share their religion explains why they'd go with Ethiopia.

[vasziljevics]

don't know if it is usual or not but I have personally never seen this happened:

[Retrograde]

o_o NEVER seen the AI do that...barely managed to pull it off myself.

[Duke of Britain]

(the players are Aragon and Burgundy, we had no hand in what happened in England)




:facepalm: They took Aquitaine instead of England (and they kept Aquitaine for years!)


I wish the Ottos learned a thing or two with AI Byz



This is awesome!

[Timbrizcha]

why should the AI settle for Lessrocco when it can have Mor(e)occo
how did it grow that big anyway?

[psantos378]

So Byzantium has fallen (no surprise there) but what is surprising is to whom



Silly Algiers what are you doing there?

Either they're the Sunni DotF or they got involved through an alliance with one of the Turkish minors.

I don't know, they ate the Ziyyanids, then the Hafsids, and at one point ate lybia from the Byzantines. They never had any kind of problems and are quite strong, i like it that way...
They also own Naxos and one province in Anatolia
