I'm playing as Tachibana. Year: 1621
I was so impressed by this Poland I just had to post this map.
Other cool stuff: Spain formed under Aragon. Huge Austria. France OPM.
Guess which nation is Holy Roman Emperor...

I was wondering when the generic "You don't have X" comment would come up.
The answer is: Norway. I'm pretty sure they have been HRE for a long time now too. Norway and Great Britain are the only two big protestant nations so I guess that's why some HRE protestant minors decided to vote for Norway. Surprised me though.
My current game as Milan (DW 5.1):
The objective was to unify Italy, but things - though interesting - have developed in a way that the goal starts to look quite impossible. I play with random lucky nations with low aggression, so I get nice blobs in my game. Teutonic Order was almost certainly one of the lucky nations and it changed into Prussia recently. It has constantly expanded South and East and I'm not surprised if it eventually devours all Russian nations and continues East.
France looks lucky and on a roll here too. Not only it owns part of the Iberian peninsula, it has managed to nab Wales and pesters England with Scotland. England, having lost home ground, has decided to go for Moroccan territory instead. Asia Minor has exploded into Turkish minors.
And I'm Milan and pretty dead within a year. My goal was to play a nice, diplomatic game with an Italy formed via vassalisations and diploannexations. I don't know if it were the diploannexations or claims on thrones, but at some point my relations with countries have dropped from 100 - 200 to -200 - 0. Not too long ago I fought a defensive war against France, Austria and Bohemia and lost a couple of provinces. I lost my last alliance when Hungary either converted to Protestant or got a new monarch. And the peace with everybody expires next year and France has the mission "Conquer Milan" and Austria the mission "Our claims in Northern Italy".
So yeah, I'm screwed. Next in line: choosing another country from in this interesting save.

:-( Should have vassalised Genoa/Venice - maybe get a few New World provinces to have as a base? How long until you core and can form Italy? with those cores maybe you can have a better chance of knuckling down and fighting?
Last page has my ongoing attempt at the same thing, great mind eh?
You can kill them no problem. Focus your army on knocking Austria out of the war first, then break the French stacks one by one. Their doomstack really, really shouldn't be larger than your entire army. Just take your time, break them down and keep up the fight. This is the 16th century, all you need is one major victory to take it to them.
lol
I'll probably go east first because its easy to take GH provinces then maybe focus on vassalizing europe. I'm considering not forming Russia as it takes away the epicness of Yaroslavl
Wars make colonization a lower priority, and by the looks of it you've conquered most of the normal colonizers. Only Britain and Spain, and maybe half of Portugal, are left.
Wanted to conqeur the world as your 'country'
1598, I'm Flanders.
Is it normal that there's so little colonization?
My Spanish (Aragonese) Empire, 1591
Dunno if I can be arsed finishing this game =P
My goals were to reach around the mediterranean and to own all of the americas, but since the game doesn't really put up a challenge anymore I think I'm gonna start over
4 times income of second nation (Byzantines)
3 times army size of second nation (Burgundy)
and I own the seas with 270 big ships, second nation has 17 xD (burgundy)

Most successful AI Byzantine Empire ever?
They owned everything down to Sinai as well before I started beating them back.
I killed off Ottomans pretty early on cus they were bugging me every time I declared war in North Africa. Then I didn't look east for a hundred years and Byzantines were huge.
