yeah it is, you declared war! plus you should've consulted me about annnexations within my sphere of influence.
My New list
Guys I like
Bavaria: I don't know I just always like to see them do well.
Navarre: See Bavaria
Burgundy: I don't know I just now turned the option on for the first time and it's pretty cool.
France: Prussia/Brandenburg game bias when being a small German nation France is your best bet, unless you've got Burgundy on and than it's probably Burgundy.
The Ottoman Empire: Let's face it the Ottoman's are just cool.
Byzantine: Byzantine bias, I just got done reading a book about the Empire, hence my AAR.
Scotland: Part Scottish
Prussia The name is just so cool.
Protect list-
Unless they are my ally I ussually don't protect them directly just indirectly usually.
Bavaria: When playing the Turks a hasty DoW would help them out, alas in my BB/Prussia game I got to South Germany way too late.
Serbia: Probably the only time I went out of my way to help a ally, and vassal.
Kill List- Guys I both hate and try to take completely out early because of bad things if I don't.
Poland: If I'm not allied Poland is just too large to be left standing.
Bohemia: They just annoy me for some reason
Netherlands: O.K my whole strategy is to let them survive for awhile, than wait till they're at war, and than annex them and get all their maps.
Sweden & Denmark: Why because they are Uber annoying.
Just Hate List
Poland: They steal too much good land in alliance
Bohemia: Well, they are peace mongers *In my games* until it becomes absolutely the worst time for them to Dow
Hungary: Filthy SOBS get conquered and than show up in provinces heavily fortified.
Austria: The Sneak up country, if your in say, Germany you don't tend to notice Habsburg aggression as much as if you were say, Bohemia. By the time you start fighting them they own most of Central Europe.

Hello everybody,
I find it strange that many of you dislike france in this game , but perhaps it's because the player dislike modern france ?
I found it quite a boring nation to play , exept if you want to conquer the world like morpheus
I always win when playing france so i stopped to play it. It's a power who's AI wants to possess all it's nationnal province so it is better left alone , or , better , allied with.
Of course when playing as spain,austria or burgundy it is a very annoying and challenging opponent
Other than that , I feel that some nations are doomed to disapear:
Poland: if it kill russia , siberia will never be colonised
It as nothing to do in central europe
Turkey: I'm always glad to see it pushed back off europe
and also: TO,hungary,bohemia,holstein,kniggets,north african moslem
Because the only difference i see between swedes and danes is that the swedes are mostly called "something-son" and the danes "something-sen' i feel they sould be united by one or the other. But when i put the kalmar union in play they usualy split into danemark,sweden,norway and finland. 4 nations for one folk is quite suprising. But perhaps there are some differences ?
The nations i like :
austria,russia,prussia,france

Good topic
Hate list:
Poland (As everybody else has mentioned, if you're a player in eastern europe, it's the greatest pain in the ass to conquer, as you'd better not be doing any sieges during winter. Plus all it's provinces which look big in the eye are just dirt poor.)
Mughal Empire (The meanest m/f in the Indian subcontinent, won't let you colonise and it's hard to conquer, even if you're Persia. If it ever gets to trade level 4, you can kiss your total monopoly in Delhi goodbye too.)
Netherlands (I specifically hate the preferential treatment they get in their national emancipation. They are acting as if they were conquered by the Atzecs and are used in human sacrifices for crying out loud! Plus I let them revolt from me when I played Austria and they inherited my high trade level and started killing me in several CoTs.)
Helvetia (That country is a real mantrap, since it draws large AI armies from all over Europe that do no more but die outside it's walls. It 's good if you're their ally, but I usually am on the other side. And of course if they go reformed, they get perpetually at war with all your catholic allies.)
Ragusa (The IGC team's greatest sin. Apart from being another mantrap, it is a vassal of Hungary, one which Hungary seems unable to annex. This is bad if you're Austria and you're supposed to vassalize Hungary sometime. It was finally proven easier to just conquer Hungary and let Ragusa rot.)
The Knights (Useless as alies, not worth to conquer as foes, not even good for a bloody RM, plus they have this perpetual alliance with Genoa and Modena, which are real gems for diploannexation, so you have to break it somehow and this means you end up in war with the Knights themselves,etc, etc)
Brandenburg (These damn krauts have the meanest army in all germany and they're not stupid enough to lose all their provinces to you, but they are going to come back to relieve their sieged cities. They have to be taken care of in one war, no matter the cost, or be left alone, along with the rest ofthe northern HRE.)
Oman (Those pesky bastards are just a couple of thousand souls, but they are more annoying in trade and colonisation and more hard to annex than the whole Persian Empire)
Wallachia (The most slavelike janissaries of the Turk, they never get free from them but are always there to declare war on you prematurely, so that the sultan won't see his stability drop a bit! And they know they're never going to be annexed, because getting them is the only way to get a quick peace with the Ottoman hordes.)
Crimea (They are the biggest wussies in Europe. They look all big and powerful with their 50K armies but if you're allied to them and go to war with Poland or Turkey, they don't know you. And then they get annexed by Russia 10 times more easily than any of their neighbors.)
Like list (NOT protect list):
Greece/Byzantium (Due to ethnicity)
Sweden (Nice colour on the map, nice leaders, good cannon, even when I'm Russia I have better things to do than mess with them.)
Portugal (They explore and colonise half the world for us and when Tordesillas and their colonial dynamism is off, it's easy pickings. Good boys really, even if they do trade in slaves.)
Persia (They cover a big big gap in territory and keep the Ottomans at bay, so sucessfully that they may forget to mess with Europe. Plus they have cool province names.)
Incas (These boys, unlike the Aztecs, know what a fort is and use it against the greedy Spaniards, so that they may survive long enough for somebody else to look that way.)
Burgundy (Whenever they're around, strategic gameplay in Europe is totally different, plus they're good as an equalizer for Spain and France.)
List for countries for which I bear ambiguous feelings:
Eire (Ok they're cool, they're revolutionary, but why do they always play into the hands of France? They're either getting vassalised or hand over Irish provinces to their french allies. The Scots never do that.)
Ethiopia (A nice Orthodox ally in Africa is always handy, but don't even colonise the horn of Africa, for they'll doublecross you and come burn down Mogadiscio.)
Iroquois (The nicest savages in the game and good to get your maps from, but why won't they go live coser to the shore, just to make it more difficult for those pilgrims to eradicate them?)
Nippon (They're cool, they don't mess with the world, but damn they're hard to find. Why the hell should my objective in 1492 be to "Discover Edo"?)
Scotland (They're the best allies ever, coming to help anywhere their ships can reach, but then why can't they punish the English in their own island. They're fighting in a linear progression anyway, how hard can it be to beat the puny English armies?)

Nubia has been the staunch ally of Oman and has to be 1 of the best................
Hate well France, obvious reasons as they are French and taken a strong dislike to the Turks.

Very bad allies. Always taking part in wars where they don't have reason for.
and its such a ugly huge country.
Ottoman Empire:Just a stupid country. in my games they have never been able to annex mameluks and so losing wars from venice and georgia.
they always let hungary exist so that i as Austria can annex them.
later in the game they so WEAK in military that i destroy them so easily.
and if they attack they have a great alliance with every moslem country in the world. They must read respect.

the only way to take their colonys away is to annex them in a whole and thats very hard. and they are very irritating enemies.
Naples: Weak suckups to spain.
Hungary: fight better give some resistance!! pffff
Wallachia: can you only do something with ottomans huh?
