Well I have to admit this game was lots of fun! I am the emperor of both the HRE and the BE. I have unlimited man power and endless coffers full of treasures! I am the soveren lord of all three holy cities Mecca, Jerusalem and Roma my prestige is at its apex!
And best of all I crushed my mortal enemies the retched Muslims!

I also forgot to mention that all of the pathetic Muslim nations in north Africa are my vassals and will do heed my biding!

As for your question regarding money well that’s simple my friend, just build tax assessors, if your land has a lot of manufactories then your production income will be high, trade is also very important, then just build workshops, constables and custom houses in all your provinces and take all the income generating national ideas , such smithin economics, national trade policy etc. you will get to keep 50 % of your tax, production and trade income every month, I was getting around 270 ducts a month and investing 450 into the various tech groups.

It's quite possible to get that high without cheating. You have to consider that he has a massive empire, probably well-developed too, and the screenshot is of his empire in 1821.

Seems like cheating. Still it might be possible.

Um if it was cheating I would have had more money, more land and a full prestige my friend. No it's not cheating…. Although I don’t care what you think but only nubs call hard well earned victories cheating

Thank you Enigmax, what you said is true i pretty much have a manufactory in 80% of my provinces; no I didn’t build them all I conquered quite a bit. So my production was over 300, I monopolized pretty much every COT that is worth over a 1000 ducts, so my trade was over 300 also. My tax was 230 some thing. I had a tax assessor in every province plus all the normal upgrades from temples to regiment camps. I converted most of the empire into the one true faith <orthodox> and like 60% of my empire's culture changed into Greek! Plus I don’t have a single privateer reeking havoc on my shores. And I do have like 8 vassals most of which are multi province countries.

I think this is not cheating. You can get much ducats, when you have big empire. I reached 30000+ ducats in my GH game and it was possible to increase more.

yeah in my Russia game I'm earning 8k per year! All thanks to tax assessors! I would have well over 100k (I have 93k atm) but I usually just save up till I get 60k then build manufactories till I go down to 30k..... this next time will be pretty fun! I'll only be able to build a few though as they cost around 11k each now!!

So having even 200k is perfectly doable!

Read again my friend I said it might be possible. Calling me a noob makes a good statement about yourself.

Only a beginner would cheat and not dominate the entire world in EU3, the fact that my last game had great victories does not mean they are impossible to achieve and thank god that other experienced players agree that what I did is not by all means impossible. Besides the word cheating is considered an insult, maybe you should think thoroughly before addressing others by it.

What's the BE?

BE stands for Byzantium Empire my friend :)

Scerab, how long did it take you to beat the Turks and the other threats in the vicinity? I'm curious because I see that you have not expanded that much (I assume it either took very long, or you are simply not the world conqueror type.)

Impressive work, BE games are indeed always interesting.

By late game I tend to find I make so much money I don't know what to do with it lol. In a England>GB>EU game I played (WWM) I built an army of just over a million men for the fun of it. I was aiming for 2 million but the savegame became corrupt and I had to abandon the game. :mad:
