My nearly finished Aragon game, in which I´m really geting bored as there is nothing much to do. My income is abnormal; It´s just imposible to spend all my gold, America is my playground with the exceptcion of Canada which I generously shared with my fellow cristian friends of Europe (Could have colonised it also). The way I colonised that masive chunk of the contienent was using both Portugal and a artificially resurrected Castille with 6 provinces which I sold after making him a vassal, the two were integrated later. About Europe, most of my holdings in Italy and France were conquered before the formation of Spain (1570) And after that Europe leave me more or less alone, and as I was satisfaied with my European holdings I saw no problem on that. But none the less I PUed, just for the lulz, Bar, Byzantium, Austria and Lunemburg, which in the end, summed with my huge income, made the game boring.
This one is my complete Denmark game, much more interesting than the one with Aragon, which as I said became boring after the formation of Spain. However I had a much not exactly hard game, but a challeging one. At one point in the game, both my colonial ambitions and my baltic empire made, nearly all the europeans powers enemies of the Danish crown. This developed in the horrible coaliton wars for the reconquest of Mariemburg, which implied Poland, Bohemia, Muscowy, Great Britain, Spain, and a bunch of random nations against me, as my old friend the powerfull Ottoman Empire was wipped at some point by the Polish. As I could not find allies, nowhere I had to create them, so I started a serie of blody wars against Spain to resurrect France, which had been ocuppied by the Spaniards for a couple of centuries. At the end I find a nicely medium size France, which fielded the 4º largest army. At that time, Catalonia also joined my side as I had helped them in their quest for independence. Luckyly I also became leader of a PU with both Hesse and Hainait, which holded a big chunk of the HRE. And then It happened. The Bohemian coalition-Scandinavian war for the French Sucession, in which the french started under PU with Bohemia, and thus, against me. So I faced a hard situation, I had to win a offensive war against a coalition of nearly all Europeans powers besides me which together had 3 or 4 times more men than me, and by win I mean making the warscore reaching 60%, so I could force the PU with France myself. The alternative was the creation of a Bohemian monster and the loss of my last valuable allie in Europe, which could had complicated by much the last years of the game. And by god´s sake, that was one the funniest and more epic wars I remember not only in EUIV but also taking into account the countless hours spended playing EU3. At the end, I became the monster. With France, Hesse and Hainait under PU, the large Scandinavian holdings Europe, the wealth generated by trading in the americas and 4 full military idea groups, I spent the last two decades of the game betting the crap out of everyone just becouse I could.
