When the Muscovites finally invaded I thought I might be able to hold them off. But they did it pre-westernisation and after some truly epic battles in the Himalayas and lots of scorched earth I paid them off. Same thing with the Hansa and GB, who decided to kick me while I was down (though they didn't get very far).

Yep, 4th.

Just come out of one, full of rebels from the westernisation to the Muslim tech group.

Westernisation and hoping that the Russian tanks don't roll southwards again.

Peaceful until I'm fully westernised, stable and with better tech, when I shall wreak havoc and vengeance on Russia.

4. Are you one of the richest countries?
Yes, #1.
5. Are you at war?
No.
6. What is your main concern?
Trying to conquer all of my newly-gained cores (I am losing 11 prestige a year because of them.)
7.Are you attacking people or being peaceful or both?
Attack a country that I have a core on, fight the war with Bohemia (again), annex original nation, get peace with Bohemia (maybe get something, but usually concession of defeat or white peace), stay at peace for a while... that is my current cycle.
8. Which country are you hating?
Bohemia. We have to have been in about 20 wars or so.
9. Which country are you fearing?
I'd say France and Castille. Not Bohemia since, for the most part, I've been fine at war with them (however it is a pain), except for one time. Once Tuscany declared war on me and dragged Bohemia in. In the bohemian front, I was just about to completely lose a 60- some odd regiment-army that was down to 3 or 4 thousand men. I felt like rage quitting. But then a miracle happened, and Tuscany, whom I and my ally the Pope (which is ironic since I have an extremely high infamy) were fighting, and, miraculously, had remained the war leader, was willing to accept white peace! I happily offered it to them, and then, since I'd gotten my last core needed, formed Germany immediately after:D:rofl:. Anyway, France and Castille have risen to become really powerful countries, with Castille starting to colonize Carribean islands and most of North Africa, and France dominating the region and with a pretty biog army (probably the closest competitor by far of my 150 thousand-or-so army.)
10. Who are your allies?
Teutonic Order (my vassal), Augsburg (my vassal), and the Pope. I actually haven't allied with Wurzburg (my vassal). I'll get to that after this post:rofl:.

6. Poland(They stretch from Danzig(they don't own it though) to the Caspian Sea), Spain(I'm aiming to take Southern Spain), The Balkans(I need to annex Bosnia and Aquilea if I want to connect my Italian provinces to my capital), Northern Italy(Austria owns two Milanese provinces(ie not Parma and Lombardia)). I would place France here but recently they collapsed and lost all of Southern France!

7. Attacking.

8. Spain. I lost a 20k army in the 15th century and I'm biting at the bit for blood soaked vengeance!

9. Poland. They own all the Black Sea coast that I don't own.

10. No one but my vassals Iraq and Montenegro.
