So after days of grinding... this newbie thought he'd form the Roman Empire. I started out as Florence and formed Italy. Forming Italy was my whole goal with the campaign but since it was going so good i decided to try and form the Roman Empire. I went east and took as much as i could before having to face the Ottomans. Made an alliance with a super strong France who had eaten half of Spain and with them eventually destroyed the Ottomans. After a while i managed to claim Poland's throne who had a PU over Lithuania, as usual. Yolo'd it and went to war alone against them. Luckily the AI isn't very smart and i managed to carpet siege half of both Poland and Lithuania. They gave up after about 50% warscore and after that the game was easy. Ate away on the Ottomans while breaking the alliance with France. After i took down the Ottomans on my own i felt like i had it in the bag. Destroyed France and took provinces from OPM's that i needed by threatening war. Made a vassal in Spain, Catalonia, that i fed France's provinces to. Eventually i started running short on time, 30 years or so left. That's when when my colonies in North America wanted Independence, Catalonia was quick to join them. I didn't really care about my colonies but the fact that Catalonia joined them broke the annexation that was currently ongoing. Ended up with me starting war after war, taking the stability loss and war exhaustion just to make it in time. I finish eating up France and then my vassal, who very much didn't want to be my vassal after i declared war on them a couple of times. A billion rebels spawned but i got everything needed with like 1.5 years left. Hover over the decision and it says i have everything except for owning all provinces in Mashiq. Turns out that in all haste, i didn't take Ma'an from the Ottomans... 1 small damn province...
I obviously had to declare war on the Ottomans even though i had a huge coalition target on my head.
A minor inconvenience... Thought it was pretty funny.
After i accepted all demands in frustration...
Welp, starting over as Castile right away. Hope you found some pleasure in my failure and agony.
Sorry if i posted it in the wrong place, i'm a newbie and first time on the forums.
