So, I went from a humble Baltic empire...
Just curiosity, who is that in north-west Spain?
It sounds like Scandinavia had no fleet to carry their army around? Vassals that border you are great because they will get rid of your rebels during wars
How did you survive the Ming blob? Or did you play with a mod that gave them a chance?
It helps to have powerful vassals though. In my HRE game, I've got several power-house vassals. I'm also slowly achieving vassalized colonies (USA and Brazil so far, in historical place! 
)
)I'm on my first game, too, and I have to agree with this. I spent years cultivating Hungary as an ally. Just had Scandinavia declare war on me (again), and Hungary promptly ditched me, leaving me to fend for myself.
Thanks for all the advice. ^.^ In retrospect, it seems I made quite a few mistakes. Time to choose someone new and try again!
Also: KHAAAAAAAN
You've revived the Mongol Empire and then some! This image is now a favorite
.
It does exist in Vanilla, but only as a releasable/revolter country. So if you're playing vanilla and want to see Galicia, just kick some Castillians until they agree to release Galicia.
Looks like Divine Wind didnt saved Japan this time.Also: KHAAAAAAAN
I like how you captured Granada and Cape, good job Sir.
I've been gone for a long time, with college and work sapping my time coupled with other internet websites. For the past few weeks I've been playing a mostly hands off game for the MPM mod after finding some free time. Like last time I was an island nation waiting for the time to pass as I saw the world play out.
I did meddle a few times, the only substantial one was ripping apart the Ming after the Yan State broke away on its own. The Ming gradually annexed all its former pieces so the overall effect was not what I thought it would be. Apart from that I saved Ireland after I saw it form naturally twice. The other times were just selling provinces that should never exist under the ownership of that faction, but after around 1680 or so I didn't touch a thing.
So... shame on me.

Prussia I never touched, even though I did pray that Austria would beat them nothing could match that particular Lucky Nation, though the Osman Empire was in fact stronger and larger, it wasn't as powerful nor as influential as it should have been.
The Mughals formed and became an economic and military powerhouse, which I found was awesome. France, Great Britain, Portugal, Two Sicilies/Naples, and Spain couldn't crack that country, even though it was dozens of techs behind.
Russia didn't expand the way it could have, it had an openning into Siberia to colonize, but never did. It conquered the states to its east, but never annexed them. It was annoying when they ended up selling their rights to Siberia to the Italians because they wouldn't move.
Khwazermia is not Kazakhstan, and came out abnormally strong quickly reaching the Pacific, before wrestling with the Yan State and Korea, even conquering bits of the Golden Horde.
Which reminds me, the Timurids resurrected themselves more times than any other state on the map, sometimes from Khwazermia sometimes from the Mughals, but the true oddity comes from the Golden Horde, which collapsed, regrouped, collapsed, regrouped, and then maintained themselves as a Mid-Level power fighting off the Poles and Russians throughout the game, though nearing the end the tech gap was too great and started to fall.
The Russo-Austrian Alliance was the strongest powerblock for a few centuries before the Franco-Prussian-Swede alliance overtook them. The Empire of Sweden was briefly the strongest country in the world, before Prussia betrayed them and later France abandoned them. Nearing the end they began to rebuild themselves from being fundamentally crushed.
Great Britain formed and then suffered a most unfortunate existence. The Sicilians, Irish, French, Swedes, Prussians, Brittanians, and the Iberians (all three) constantly maintained a presence on the islands. The French, Prusisans, and Sicilians were the alliance leaders of multiple conflicts, while the others contented themselves to merely capturing all the mainland territories and asking for all the cash they had.
All in all this was a pretty fun game to watch.

Prussia, an army with a country.
Land53, 163 discipline (with commendant), 250ish regiments raised up to the force limits
Time to drive Burgundy to the sea? Or should I wait 5ish years so I can form Germany first before attacking the Burgundian emperor? Coz I was thinking about just forming Germany, building stuff and troops, then I'm finally gonna re-conquest DoW the entire HRE. Unless I'm terribly mistaken, at that point I get immediate cores on all German provs, so when I re-conquest, the emperor can't request that territory.
Do I still get the unlawful infamy hit though? I guess I should disband the HRE while I'm at it, then there shouldn't be any legal babble to bother me?
