The Timurids have an Khaganate.... which shares a border with me at Khuzestan

[Valiant_Hogers]

Normal, D&T lastest removed hordes

[Erebos26]

that happened during the previous version.... timurids were released from some indian state and have their capital in Indus. but their primary culture is still Uzbek.

They managed to become a Khaganate without any medling of mine.

I've got a few from just one game. I think the AI goes a bit berserk when you play well as an unusual country.


A global scramble for Africa centuries early where even Africa is scrambling for itself! (Songhai)


That's where the Spaniards are in Europe, right Mr. Cartographer?


Ming Inherited Japan at some point, but then lost it. By then, the daimyos were picked at partly by Korea and later the British. Don't worry, Japan revolted from them too... *sigh*


Khiva is still a horde in the 1800s and they inherited the Mamluks. They've also expanded in their many years as a horde and have managed to become a threat in that no Europeans seem to want to mess with them. Not pictured are the once proud and powerful Orthodox Candar Turks.


The Cherokee have great relations with their Siberian neighbors.

From my Netherlands game, I thought an annual growth of 255,659 in a single city was pretty strange!

From experience I've found that the growth doesn't quite work as it indicates it should. Also, 27% is fairly common in Antwerpen if Netherlands takes off, I personally got it up to 29% once before I split the CoT. (I didn't really need Antwerpen to keep being huge when I already had it at nearly max population.)

EU3's growth rates are over ten years, not annual. I think it compounds pop monthly, but I'm not sure.

In any event, the standard formula for continuous growth, P(t) = Pe^kt (initial pop times e to the rate times time), works well enough for most purposes (I needed to calculate this for a modded event, and the difference between my calculated and actual pops after 30 years was fairly small.) So with that 27% rate, a pop of 946k goes to 971k in the first year.

Edit: To clarify, when it sez the growth is 27%, it means it's 2.7% per year or .225% per month. The distinction doesn't matter if they compound at the same rate. But, eg, 27% per ten years on a base of 1000 is 1270 compounding every ten years vs. 1310 compounding instantly... obv larger numbers make it more pronounced. A pop w/ a 1% growth rate doubles in 100*ln2 or ~69 years rather than the 100 that "1% per year -> 100% per 100 years" implies.

I just had something similar to me happen in my Brunei game:



It is gratifying to know that a Steppe Horde country that doesn't share a border with me and is thousands of miles away from my nearest province holds me in higher esteem.

Not that being held in higher esteem by a horde country will change their behavior towards me one iota should I somehow wind up with them as a neighbor...

[Vetarnic]

It's a wonder they know you at all. That's a bit like when an African country you've just discovered and declared war upon asks you to end the vassalization of Luxembourg.

Not to mention them demanding you to release multiple nations in areas that are marked "here be dragons" on their maps.

Well that's how they make their maps :
"Release Luxembourg!"
"Why would we do that ? they are part of our nation!"
To cartographer "See, I told you there's a place with such a funny name as Luxembourg, now we just have to pinpoint it, let's ask about something else and see if it's a place."

Prussia is in a Personal Union with Bohemia and Castille.



I had declared war on Prussia to create a union, but half-way through their monarch died. Since they had no heir, prestige or legitimacy, they automatically created a union with Bohemia and my claim was lost. But since it did not remove the peace offer option I could still force the union. The Spanish king thus sits on the throne of Prussia, but there are still two unions. This still remains after a couple of decades.

[Narestel]

I was surprised when I was at war and an ally at the same time with Qara Koyunlu:





And then I got an Alliance Casus Belli against all of my other allies...

Probably sitting as co-princes, such as with Andorra in Spain. I led PUs in an Aragon game with Naples and Brittany, but once I had a regency they each got their own leaders; Brittany a de Savoia queen and Naples had a random king. When my heir took the throne they disappeared. It was pretty cool.

[DreadLindwyrm]

Strange, and probably shouldn't happen. Odd none the less.

We don't know what it is, but we know that we're not selling as much of it as Lorraine. Even though we're not selling any and they're not either.

We are, apparently, making 0.2 units of it a year or a month or whatever. But that's apparently not enough to tell what it is.

You're actually producing enough question marks to create this man's suit.

I always knew, that the Shoguns can be traced back to some ancient mediterranean empire that existed over 1000 years ago at pretty much exactly the opposite side of the world...

And... since i've read something about Ethan Hunt missions. Here he get's to his limit...

[herrhals]

JC was going for a WC, but he never finished because the Japanese shogunate didn't dissolve as he had planned. He tried to form a PU on the shoguns, but alas, he was the wrong religion. This wasn't to say he didn't have a private encounter with Minamoto's ancestors.

Occupied London:



Currently it's a Rebel-occupied Parma province.

Before it belonged to Parma, it belonged to Mantua.

The rest of England is covered in the usual English Red, with the English capital in Lancashire.

I'm not sure how Mantua managed to acquire just the Capital province.

[ferrarius]

Several reasons are possible:

England was a rebel state and thus had a capital elsewhere.
Rebels (although not sure about that)
