Looks like Timurids aren't far off either...
 
I just suppose ottomans, are going to be eaten by two monsters, and it is even possible that whole europe will be eaten by GH while whole asia will be eaten by timurids... unless they will start to fight each other, and collapse.

Anyone want a challenge? This game is on random lucky nations, and I'm thinking the WAAAAGH (golden horde) got lucky. I was rolling along quite nicely as the Teutonic Order, using the horde's wars on lithuania/poland to eat up territory and slowly grow stronger, only to find that that was a deal with the devil. The waagh overcame lithuania completely, and said hello to me with their 200,000 strong army.

Yeah. Never trust the horde.

I had a Muscovy game that they did that not in 40 years but less than 20 :O
 
Heh, that's a pretty old game! :)

What happened after that: I survived as best as possible against the GH, sometimes paying tribute, sometimes just admitting defeat. Then Austria started eating their balkan holdings, and Austria grew into a terrible monster that was even bigger that this GH. Italy did actually form, but only because I helped them by conquering Roma and selling it to them. I formed Germany and won the game as easily as anyone does after forming Germany.

My friend's and my co-op Campaign. He is playing the Byzantines and I'm playing the Austrian Empire! The year is 1517, and sadly we just missed the window for the KoJ by about 15 years (I really wanted them to be my vassal). Bohemia has been a thorn in my side from the very beginning, since I decided I'd just cede from the HRE. Now my mission is to completely dismantle the HRE for good. I would form Germany, but I'll never be able to (sad). My friend is trying to recreate a version of Justinian's conquest, and my end goal is to have total dominion over Europe from the Pyrennees to the Black Sea.

My "Great' Connaucht Empire. Hard difficulty, the most recent June patch.

I began colonizing in 1428. When I say colonizing, I mean I landed 3k archers and 4 k cavalry in Muskogee. It was a tense battle and I thought I would lose, but cavalry inflicted enough casualties on the Shaw to break their main stack and I was able to get a quick cease fire. I was lucky, because England DOWed me for the first time the entire game a month later. They vassalized me a total of two times over the next ten years, but I already had a foothold on in the Americas.

Luckily Castille began to cannabilze Portugal and didn't take QFTNW until pretty late. Anyway, here's the pic:

And another one of my capital in Muskogee. This is right before I started splitting up the trade centers to make other regions develop.

How much was that CoT worth? :eek:
 
An update on my Swiss game:

Nationalism CB allowed me to finally vassalize (read: annex and release) Bavaria.

I wish Lithuania did that in my games. I always get a snake Bohemia going into Siberia. It looks so much cleaner with Lithuania. Ideally a Russian state would conquer, but Lithuania > Bohemia any day of the week.

I think the problem is ever since the 3/30 patch Lithuania gets gobbled before the Horde begins to fall back. If you remember, in Vanilla and the next few patches Lithuania was always the one stretching to Siberia. I'm okay with it, as it historically could've happened. Muscovy only rose to power because of a lot of luck and some of the best leaders in history.
