Strange Screenshots

[scholar]

Your brain will hurt when you try to figure out what's going on with Bourbon, Norway, Natives, Rebels, and the uncolonized province that is somehow colonized.

[Kingepyon]

No, its probably the weirdest thing in the entire screenshot.

Sweden that large is pretty unusual, byzantine morocco is up there as well, not to mention the papal states hold most of Italy.

There's a lot of weird going on, especially for 1600.

It says "Production: 6.00". Now I'm no expert, but since there's no Trade Good in that province, I'm fairly sure that means there's a manufactory there.

That must be what the Norwegians, Rebels, and Natives are fighting over. The question is who built it. I'm placing my bet on the Rebels.

I think I've just been inspired to play my next game as Ragusa.

I call your attention in this screenshot to the Netherlands' form of government and capital. AI Utrecht somehow pulled off a feat most players can only dream of.

[Luhood]

Oh, that silly Norway... pulled in two directions, poor country!

The AI forming the Netherlands is really not uncommon, and forming it oneself is only a matter of patience, planning, tactics, and ceasing the opportunity when it comes along.

Well, yes, AI Netherlands I see quite often. But it's usually formed by Holland or Brabant, not Utrecht! And expanding within the HRE as a theocracy is quite difficult - personally I've never pulled it off.

Was playing a game as Portugal where I decided not to interact with any Christian or Muslim nation. Well, Orleans has decided to slowly grow over a period of 200 years. She is one province away from forming France.

Let's see if I can find everything strange about this picture . . . Granada exists and is powerful, Orleans still exists and is powerful, the Papal States are powerful, Holland is powerful, the Ottomans are NOT powerful, Switzerland has more than its original 6 provinces (:P), Fez exists, Bulgaria exists, Ireland exists, Novgorod has been displaced . . . is that it? Have I missed anything?

Byzantium exists but only in cyprus and moroco (which is really tripoli)

And Cyprus has done something (even if it is dying)

Is it that they are Sweden's vassal but your Jr. Partner in a PU?

[Luhood]

Is it that they are Sweden's vassal but your Jr. Partner in a PU?

Yup! Or is that mayhaps a common feature?

Lithuania is HUGE. Oh, wait, that's what always happens.

Not to be a debby-downer or anything, but I formed the Netherlands by 1425 or so within a week of obtaining EU3. It's really not that much of an achievement.

[flame7926]

But how often do you see the AI do it?

[Erebos26]

I found this funny because you don't often see this sort of thing happening.... oh and fyi the Teutonics were reformed into prussia. Collapsed under poland's onslaught..... Then both were force-released from poland by me and then poland moved back in and re-annexed both, only for them to rebel from Lituania after their PU exploded which tore apart Lithuania into a minor country after every single minor between the GH, the balkans, and Russia also rebeled..... then the new prussia annexed the TO, they rebeled, which ended them with a monarchy....

Wait...where do you border the Golden Horde? Can't seem to find it on the screenshot.

He said "most players can only dream of".

As Utrecht?

Anyways, forming the Netherlands is mostly getting a "claims on our rivals" event. At least for Holland, for Utrecht you might need 2. Suddenly you no longer have a meddling emperor because you have CBs, and instant cores on everything you need. Also, is it just me, or does Holland not have a single good mission?
