1808-1821: Race for world domination and the end.
We sell Ingermanland to Finnland. In August 1809 we annex Malwa (Luckow).
In November 1809, we annex Bohemia.
Ukraine is annexed in January 1810.
The Knights are annexed in May 1810.
We gain 1 innovative. In October 1810, we annex Sweden.
We sell Bohuslan to Norway. We go back to Republican Dictatorship for the Empire casus belli. In January 1812, we vassalize Ansbach and Poland, and we get 2 provinces from Aragon.
Peru is released in January 1812. Through an event we gain 40487 ducats. We get a Adm 5/Mil 7/Dip 3 Lord Protector.
In June 1814, we get several provinces from Denmark, who has now three provinces left.
In August 1814 we peace Muscowy, but to our horror we find out that the cost of their provinces is very high. We will be able to fight another war with them, and it won't be enough to annex them.
Meanwhile, Zaporozhe, Yaroslavl and Nizhni Novgorod get vassalized.
We release Pskov and diplo-annex Tripoli to fulfill our mission. Next one will be to build a lvl 6 fort in Rhodes. But we have a missionary there, so at first I let it be and when I change my mind, it is too late.
No new world country pops up, so to lower infamy we release Lithuania, who has poor provinces.
We use the Empire CB to declare war on Khorasan. And then we switch back to Administrative Republic and we can elect a Diplomatic Candidate. We are back to having a Doge.
In February 1818, Aragon is annexed.
Murom is vassalized and Khorasan has to cede two provinces. Here too the cost was too high to vassalize. Not sure now if I could have annexed though, but the two provinces just took me to 24.9, just 0.1 from the BB limit. Khorasan will survive too regrettably.
In February 1818, Aragon is released.
In June 1818, Italy becomes a Constitutional Republic. A new government type for the new century.
Then we start the last wars in this game : against Denmark, Gotland and Tachibana. Tachibana is annexed.
Denmark is annexed. We get the Sound Toll Modifier (+20% Trade)
And Gotland is annexed too. Using the Cleansing of Heresy CB, we declare war on Muscowy. As expected, we can get three provinces out of them, but annexing or vassalizing them is not possible. I would need 5 or 10 years more to finish mopping up. Oh well.
In January 1821, as expected, the game ends. The first full game of Europa Universalis I manage to finish - ever.
