The fact Austria is landlocked may have to do something with it...Originally Posted by farecoal
Okay, I know the Habsburgs had seaside regions during their reign, but they were generally far from their seat of power. I imagine naval advances were just never very important to them.
hahaha "The russians used a pencil" =D!!
Austrian colony
Granted, it's not what normal people would call a colony, and it was a spectacular failure. Not that is mattered, because it was a tiny, insignificant island they stole from the Danish, who didn't really care in the first place

Ireland's Teardrop -- EU3 DW Munster/Ireland AAR. Follow the story of Munster, taking over the entire North American continent!
Rule Helvetia! Helvetia Rule the Waves... -- Victoria 2 beta AAR. Watch Switzerland defeat the British Royal Navy... or die trying!
What if the Pope had 200,000 men? -- A Papal States EU3 1.3 aar (abandoned/finished after owning 70% of the world)
Does that even count when they didn't colonise it in the first place and then failed to maintain it?
Ask the Austrians -- for them, yes!

Meh, if they just took it and then didn't further colonize it then it doesn't really count as their colony though right?
I have one of those pens.

A very educational Teutonic Order > Prussia > Germany game that I played to get the Early Reich achievement:
It was my first game to really experience the cascading alliance effect I had read about here on the forums and to participate in the HRE.
I had a tough time at the beginning as I faced a Danish alliance to the N/W and a Polish alliance to the S/E. Whenever I was at war with one I would usually get jumped by the other. Thankfully my navy was large enough to keep the Scandinavians bottled up, allowing my army to take care of the weaker Poles.
Once I started heading into Germany proper and started vassalizing OPM, things became much easier. At one point I think I had 13 vassals in central Europe
One question: will countries that you force-vassalized turn on you? I started annexing my former vassals about 50 years before game end and they were pretty much constantly at -200 relations with me. I was expecting a revolt but nothing happened.
Yes, a vassal can possibly turn on you I believe, the probably didn't because they trusted you? Either way, I'm amazed to see Aragon did like nothing the entire game.
it was probably swallowed up and then released
if you want peace prepare for war
I love the Milan in Tierra del Fuego, I think evicting the Italian minors that go colonizing from Italy is a new hobby of mine.

Witness to the soul crushing of 85,648 Nebraskans.
Nope, they were never conquered or vassalized.
Mini Russia, Mega Zaphorozie and Ultra Sibir... nice. And what's that green blob to the east of your borders? Polotsk?
How could you get this screenshot of whole world?A very educational Teutonic Order > Prussia > Germany game that I played to get the Early Reich achievement:
He probably took indepedent screenshots and joined them together in, say, Paint.
Maybe he just took a screenshot of the world and put text in it?
Yep. A bit of that green is Pskov, though.
maybe he has a very large monitor?
Yep. I just noticed that I screwed up the alignment of eastern Africa. I'll try automated stitching software next time.
Did you achieve it even if you formed prussia before comming Germany?
