Rodrico Stak: :eek: How did you pull that war off?
I waited until all of Ming's armies were in the south, fighting rebels and Atthutya (sp?), and then attacked (my ally Oriat Horde and puppets Oda, Korea, and Tibet joined in). Korea and I took the nine northernmost provinces of Ming, and by that time Ming started having soldiers up there, but most of their soldiers were now in Tibet, which since it is a vassal could not make a separate peace, so that was OK. Eventually, after Korea and I took provinces as far south as Shaanxi, Ming accepted my peace offer! I was totally surprised when it happened - my alliance has about 1/3 of the soldiers that Ming has!
 
So... our old friend the king of Baden decides to die, and the succesion war starts... between allies.

Here's a couple strange ones:

Ming inherited Japan. I've never seen Japan owned by anyone else before (except for me, and that doesn't count).

Behold the Royal Navy of England and the Spanish (Castillian) Armada. Neither of them is doing too well. Currently, the biggest navy (other than me) belongs to Austria.

I guess I have an unusual game then. Japan, Korea and Ming got allied from the start, and in around 1600 Ming inherited the others in the same year..:)

Edit: Also, Korea and Ming were all the time allied to Manchu, so the were no wars in far east at all :)

QUOTE]That's certainly a sharp contrast :D. However, I notice Britain's navy is a bit on the small side...
 
OK, so we've all seen Sweden and Denmark fighting it out for control of Scandinavia, and England or France or Poland or Novgorod getting involved, but any guesses who this is dominating the peninsula and reducing Denmark and Sweden to rump minors?

Yup, its that well-known North European power, the Timurids. They (with Qara Koyunlu, who annexed Lithuania) came straight over Russia, annexed Muscovy, crippled Novgorod and then clashed with a Denmark that had inherited Norway, annexed Sweden and almost recreated the Kalmar Union. It did not go well for the Danes. Actually, it went even worse than it looks, because the Sweden in the screenshot is a Timurid vassal force-released from Denmark and the Timurids have converted most of the provinces they control to Islam. :boggle:

In other news, you can see that France inherited Burgundy :eep: and that the Ottomans control the Baltic provinces (at one point they controlled pretty much all of Eastern Europe, but by the time the screenshot was taken I (Austria) had managed to liberate Poland and Prussia.)
