The random blobs of Terra Incognita. For example Norfolk and Abkhazia.

When you try and load a HttT save on DW, it randomly puts these patches of TI in the already discovered map. I was very annoyed when I loaded up my England game and I'd lost London and York.
 
Inca Empire in D&T 6.2

Got lucky in the start when Tahiti (a debug country that is Nomad) inherited one of the Incan kingdoms neighboring me (Qusqu at the time), allowing me to recruit lots of colonists before Spain came to America. I colonized everything west of Brazil and Uruguay in South America (Venezuela I conquered later from Iberia) and formed Inca. When the Iberians (Spain inherited Portugal early on) came they focused on the Aztecs and Mayas and I allied with them letting me westernize in peace and colonize some more. One my empire stretched from Tierra del Fuego to Guatemala I attacked first Sweden who had lots of provinces on Mexican east coast and then the Iberians and the remaining Aztec kingdoms and have been mauling them for the past century. The one remaining Aztec state is my vassal.

Too bad I don't have any CB on Iberia besides missions and random claim events so conquering Brazil is slow.
 
They survived and did rather well for themselves for a while, partly because I conquered Castille, fought a couple of big wars with Austria and vassalized Venice I guess. Byzantiums problems only really started when England apparently decided that Anatolia is an integral part of the Commonwealth.

So you had russia form and byzantium survive in the same game but it fell apart :(

Very nice! Why not post this here.
 
Well I had to give up on my Mamalukian game. When Europe gets caught up in your shit you die. The ottomans were extremely successful in this game conquering most of Greece and Hungary and controlling all of modern day Turkey. Their (and my) downfall was when Castille declared on them bringing France, Castille and Lithuania into a massive war against them. Castille landed all over my coasts and although I outnumbered them, w/o westernisation I was 5 techs behind and I got defeated. Ottomans only ceded one province to Lithuania, I had to give some of my most important provinces along the coast. Ottomans decided to invite me to war against Morocco this time, they had a huge army and navy. I declined and they broke the alliance with me - That's a shame because I had been allied with them since early 1400s and joined all their wars and never signed an individual peace. But no, I don't join ONE of their wars and they break the alliance (Sounds almost bug-ish to me).

I just gave up, 1511 was the year, I owned the entire East Coast of Africa after several wars with Mutapa and Swahili. Maybe I'll try a Western nation next.
