LordLeto, how did you made irish culture on Britain. Doesn't it need to be a border province with this culture to make settlement policy?

For the settlement policy all the province needs is to border the provice where you have your National Focus, border w/ a same culture province is not required.
 
didn't nou dat. thanks mate.

Its quite handy. After planting two settlement policys in Scotland and N England I skipped Derby and went straight for Oxfordshire because it bordered the most provinces(for the random "Cultural Assimilation" event spread) and I could work on London once I annexed it. I had the interesting situation of the 'core' of England being Irish before the closest coasts. Little gamey but I was rather determined and it was litterally down to the buzzer, Wessex didn't flip till 1818.
 
Tried to imitate the real world :)

Byzantium endgame

This is the end of my Byzantium game. My original idea was to redo Justiniano´s conquests and convert everything to orthodox, but in the middle I also tried to change culture as much as possible. In the beginning I was trying to keep as Empire, but it was very difficult to westernize and modernize units with crap rulers. Maybe another day. I also got an earlier save where i´ll go a diferent direction.

Political. The closest it seems to be to my objetive

Here's my first completed game ever, after playing EU3 since launch time in 2007 ; done in my own version of CanOmer's DAO (while waiting for MEIOU to come around).

I started with Fujiwara and united Japan around 1550, then proceeded to spread the shinto faith and establish myself as a reasonable force on a global scale.
These first moves included the force conversion of the Khmer Kingdom, and its vassalization in a following war. They've helped me stabilize and convert the region ever since.
I managed to inherit the thrones of Korea, Brunei and Orissa.
My long-time ally, Novgorod, have finally formed Russia in 1785.

I did not westernize and was amazed to pull out a few things, like getting first to South Africa.
I still have some colonies (New Zealand, Pacific islands, Southern California) but all my provinces are shinto, and every city has been cored since at least a hundred years (except from the indian provinces, from a recent inheritance).

There you go, the classic two maps of the world, plus a close-up showing my allies and vassal.

A few notable things:
- The reformation is quite a failure, with the only exception of a big reformed power being mega Russia, with all provinces calvinist.
- The USA (all the coastline of the thirteen colonies) consists of former hannoverian colonies from the Hansa, now all at 10 inhabitants.
- Mexico's in Mexico, Brazil's in Brazil, Venezuela was in Venezuela, and except from a few hundred kilometres, every colonial revolter ended up in the right place.

As a side note, the last Fujiwara emperor of Japan died in 1798, much to my sadness. :(
 
Well, thanks, I was eager to post my very first finished game, so I thought my hurry/laziness would show! :p

About the mod, it's not finished (it's playable and all, but not yet to the point I would like it to be), and I'm supposed to be working for gigau now, so I wasn't going to.
But I guess if you want it, I can send it to you (now or upon completion), of course! :)
 
I wouldn't know, I'm no AI! ;)
But here's a guess: because the devs did a good job at keeping a fractured Japan under warring daimyos? Maybe something could have done to end that, past a certain date/event/point, I don't know.

Burgundy is Emperor and has passed Erbkaisertum, thus I left the Empire.
(We're allied, now, though, since I bribed them into good relations.)
Next steps will probably be Ottomans via Serbia and Astrakhan via Ukraine (and Salzburg).
