Episode 2 Part 3 - Castille falls.

Right after our great peace deal with Castille British decided to attack us, they also called Denmark. Our army from England is at Toledo but that wont be problem because British dont have navy ... again.
EU3_1-13.jpg
Election time comes, we choose a dip one and get 9adm3mil8dip.
After few small battles we sign WP with Great Britain, we have too much infamy to take anything.
We build new embassy in Gafsa and send army of missionaries to North Africa.
EU3_5-8.jpg

Christianity done massive damage here(Also look at reformation :D )
Time to grab 2pm Zapotecs before anyone else, we DoW them and move carpet siege.
EU3_8-4.jpg

Ottomans are capturing South Greece
After long siege we occupy and later annex Zapotecs for 1,6 infamy.
EU3_12-1.jpg

Yay!
One year passes in peace as we try to get rid of war exhaustion.
In 20 June 1593 another new party with old guests begins.
EU3_15.jpg
Our navy qucikly find and attacks they navy and we win, French lose all of their barques (15)
With their navy almost dead we move and seize all colonies we can found. We even seized one we got core on.
27 August 1594 Norway peaces out.
French WE rose to 7.22.
25 July 1595 new slider move of course towards land.

New NI - in background : French trying to capture our Mexico.
After defeating they invading army and occuping few more colonies French finnaly agree for peace.
EU3_37.jpg

Lots of money and 4 rich colonies + 4 colonies seized.
After defeating French we may move and continue conquering GB.After assembling small army in England we move.
EU3_39-2.jpg
After 2 months of war British lost their main stack and now we are free to move into GB.
EU3_41-2.jpg

Spanish are stealing our money! We will get this in next war
British prove no challenge to us and after less than year of war they surrender.
EU3_42-1.jpg
Our tariff effecciny has dropped to 77%, we have to build more ships.
EU3_45-2.jpg

That's one of colonies we seized from them, now they buy it for 400 ducats :rofl:
After defeating GB and French third of our main enemies remain : Castille.We get military acces from Portugal, move two stacks there and DoW.Austria is DoF but they didnt join, good for 'em.
EU3_47.jpg
As always they drop small stacks in South America or St.Helena, we will ignore them.
We no longer have tech advantage but our millitary drill makes us better anyway.
After less than year Castille is dead.
EU3_51-4.jpg

Man, this is so weird to watch...

Also, when you are typing these updates, you can just center around the entire thing, and not just each individual picture.
 
Great progress. Now Islam is coming back to Iberia :D . Good luck to you in continuing to challenge the great European powers.
 
2nd step complete. Great job. Munch munch munch as needed and you will be fine..:laugh:
 
Colonize the Europeans!
 
Awesome work! I'm very impressed by this AAR!
 
Alright, here comes next update :
Episode 2 part 4 - End of Not-So-Great Britain.

GB loses more and more provinces to rebels as they have no army to fight them, sadly we cannot DoW them cuz of truce.
EU3_1-15.jpg

Will we have Ireland?
Since we dont like standing idle we DoW Tunisia.
EU3_2-8.jpg
Hedjaz and Candar joins war on their side.
Meanwhile GB loses more provinces :
EU3_3-7.jpg
Our 8 dip ruler gives benefits :
EU3_5-9.jpg
After long siege Tunisa falls to us
EU3_6-5.jpg

Om nom nom
Truce with GB ends, we DoW them of course.
EU3_7-5.jpg
Some more revolters :
EU3_8-5.jpg

Gonna have to wait till GB annexes them
Our troops capture GB and their holdings in Africa and Italy, meanwhile they manage to annex Algiers, also Ottomans DoW them for Libya.
EU3_11-2.jpg

Aztecs pay for backstabing us
Peace with GB :
EU3_12-2.jpg

3 provinces in North Africa and 5 in on their mainland, we are close to infamy limit(33)
We send spy to Castille and discover they have no army there, it's good opportunity for capturing our 2 core provinces.
EU3_13-2.jpg
Our armie simply move and assault everything, level 1 forts dont stand a chance.After few months war ends.
EU3_14.jpg

Second province is their colony in SA
Time to take care of economy, we dont earn much money because of low tax provinces.Our rich CoTs homever allows us to focus on trade.
EU3_15-1.jpg

EU3_16-2.jpg

Japan ....
Our FL is now big so we can swap NI
EU3_17-2.jpg
This allows us to enact two cool decisions : Importation Act and House of Trade.
EU3_19-2.jpg

Yay!
 
Great work!! Looks like France should be on the menu in about 25 years or less?
 
Fantastic progress. Can you post the religion map of Europe? I'd like to see how far Islam has spread in England :D .
 
Excellent update. As the others have said, France looks menacing.
 
France is growing strong and it's unlikely that I will invade them now because of their 180k army, while I have 150k and not all of it can be used to attack.
Epsiode 2 part 5 - Liberating Celts

Our infamy is almost near limit thus it's time to fix economy, in last part we switched NI to NTP and enacted two decisions which made our trade income to rise above everything else, we now control 3 CoTs (one in NA, Andalucia and Gobir (Africa )), full monopoly in Gobir, almost full monopoly in NA (Aztecs are spamming merchs) and monopoly in Andalucia.
Fast look at Europe :
EU3_1-16.jpg
Strong French,medicore Austria and Bavaria, Ottomans reclaiming lands.

Year later we got DoWed by evil Austria and their HRE vassal friends.
EU3_2-9.jpg
As you see they have no navy or land connection to threat us, so we simply capture Cornwall, Malta(conquered from GB) and Venezia and wait for them to give up.Meanwhile we also centralize and are at -5 now.
After 2 years of occupation we get make nice peace deal and get new mission.
EU3_5-10.jpg
Castille is allied with Aztecs and Brunswick, they have only one army in Toledo, I dont know where is rest. We DoW Aztecs and Castille simultaneously to get separate wars.
EU3_9-5.jpg
After capturing half of country we make peace deal.
EU3_11-3.jpg
Month later we get great event which lowers our infamy by 3 for 50 ducats.
EU3_13-3.jpg
Alliance offer comes from Ottomans which we gladly accept.
EU3_15-2.jpg
Religion map, North Africa is almost converted to Sunni and reformation in Europe went rather well.
22 June 1615 we DoW Mutapa.
EU3_17-3.jpg
Now Mutapa is safe from Castille.
Now we can move to conquer rest of GB, we DoW them and move our armies through revolter state to Scotland.
EU3_19-3.jpg
These areas are so poor it is better idea to release it as vassal.
We also sponsor rebels in two remaining Scottish provinces, hopefully they will defect to them.
France lost it's DoW status which means we can start new war :
EU3_20-2.jpg
We quickly capture their Carribean islands and mainland and after white peacing his allies we get good, if not great peace deal.
EU3_23-4.jpg
Portugal is now dead and we can move to Ireland.
EU3_24-2.jpg
Sadly we havent achievet what we wanted because of sneaky Sweden.
EU3_25-1.jpg
