1821, Hindustan

Europe has been ripping itself into pieces over the entire game. I formed Hindustan very early in the game. Since then, crazy things have happened. As of 1821, the world's number one economy is by far Hindustan, and the second is Oman. Europe is a mess. At one time Castille was an opm with the rest of Iberia split between Portugal, Ottomans, and Granada. Ottomans pushed all the way to Vienna, and ruled a huge chunk of eastern Europe before getting beat back. Bohemia has been 2 steps from forming the HRE for over 200 years. Most of the new world is dominated by Europeans that have been banished from the old world.
My domination of trade is total

My tech lead is hilarious, especially as I wasn't even trying to tech efficiently

Yeah it is a weird world. I kind of want to clean it up for a Victoria 2 play through.

**Yammka** · 05-10-2011 13:19

Do my eyes deceive me or is that Castille in Australia, in that Novgorod->Russian game?

**Junuxx** · 05-10-2011 14:06

No, Spain

Spain in Australia that game, in the Sibir one you can see Castille's colour in Tasmania and NZ.

**Yammka** · 06-10-2011 00:36

Bah. XD. I could've sworn that was a shade paler.

**gav1230** · 06-10-2011 01:02

The european borders in your russia game were actually somewhat decent

**DanubianCossak** · 06-10-2011 02:28

Yet another game as Moscovy, so far so good, got a clear path toward forming Russia, no superpower on my way atm:

ROFL at AI Brandenburg and Brabant-formed Netherlands!

**Ryuujin95** · 06-10-2011 10:52

In Khanate Russia, the Horde colonizes you!

I'm just deciding at this point whether to form the Mughals now, or to wait the three years to annex what's left of France and risk getting another succession crisis. My ruler had been on the throne 26 years, making him 41, so the risk isn't huge, but it's there. I've been rampaging through North Germany, the Netherlands, and the Mamluks in anticipation of making the switch.

My last succession crisis was hell, since it was three of them back to back. My first couple of heirs were the same age as the ruler taking the throne, so I ended up getting a 59 year old heir at one point. He ended up taking the throne at 80, and died a month after the succession crisis ended, starting a second and leaving me with a Regency Council and an 11 year old heir. Of course, when the Regency Council ended, that started a 3rd crisis. I had more than enough troops and manpower to handle the rebels, but all the fighting drove my war exhaustion through the roof. It took a lot of very careful management - sending small armies after rebels, and tons of ping ponging - to coax my WE down after that.

Muscowy, Lithuania, Poland, Austria, Bohemia, and most of Italy and Greece are now cored. Turkey will core in the next decade.

Nice!
So a WC with a horde is easier i think thanks to no infamy(ofc you switch to mughals to get navy).

**Taylor** · 06-10-2011 11:20

Is it possible to switch to Mughals while in a succession crisis? If that's the case I would just conquer as much as possible until a succession crisis hits and then switch to Mughals. (b/c then the succession crisis RR modifier goes away and you'll know that the current sea of rebels is going to be the only sea of rebels)

**herrhals** · 06-10-2011 11:39

"conquer all of Europe"

And.. congrats on conquering Venice; it is a tough feat considering boat building non existent.

You can, in theory, assuming your heir meets the MIL requirement. I'm skeptical that the RR modifier would just go away before the normal 2y mark, though. Besides, I've had more than my fill of rebels in this game, hehe.

The problem I'm having right now is that I'm starting to feel the tech gap, since most of the Latin tech states are in the Land 10-11 range. I'd like to get my Land tech up a bit before they start getting Landsknechten Infantry. Fortunately, with France splintered, nobody is a big threat outside of Castille, but they're getting uncomfortably close to my borders in Egypt.

Isnt that the old screenshot from the strange screenshots?

**Junuxx** · 06-10-2011 13:00

Just go Mughals now. There's plenty of time for Holy War left to clean up the remainder of Europe.

Yeah. Just re-used it to emphasize the point about how I was sick of rebels.

**Brennenburg** · 06-10-2011 13:35

Not even 1500 and you got Vienna cored , nice.
