EU3 Hall of Fame

[Pewt]

As far as I can tell there should be a fairly trivial way of having a siege from 1399 to 1821 if someone is willing to sit on x5 long enough.

So I saw there was no entry for the fastest Romanian formation. I'd like to start things off.

That Thrace is an ugly color.

 

[DDRJake]

Loans are due
Running a deficit
Revolts possible
No Prestige
No stability

Yep, you formed Romania alright.

Impressive speed

Clearly Romania is in great condition

not to mention the 27 infamy

Good work, still it is not unbeatable record.

I think if you would play bavaria, conquer franken, PU saxony, anhalt, thuringia, mecklemburg and brandenburg, and manage to fund pretender rebels in magdeburg, then also PU it, plus inherit it before, you could do it faster propably.

Anyway, what country did you formed it with?

 

[Slym]

I think a well-played, very lucky Thuringia could probably do it the fastest. They are the most centrally located.

Also someone could just DoW everyone and annex everything and wait for it to core and form it that way, about 5 years earlier (you can't annex brandenburg in one go)

considering the Unlawful Territories that would be too much BB to manage.

You only get the infamy from the unlawful territory if you're a member of the HRE.

Actualy if you are not part of HRE you also, get it, but only when event for unlawfull territory spawns. So you ussualy have time to remove the territory from the empire. Still, being outside HRE needs you to fight emperor, unless you make some way around it(attacking allies allies, using guarantees etc.)

I did not see this anywhere, but this record is certainly beatable. I did not see on the rules that using a mod would nullify a record status, but if that is the case then I apologize.

Fastest Acquisition of +100 Prestige

If that is too silly of a record, I understand.​

 

[alexti]

I am sure it can be done faster. In my game everything that could go wrong did go wrong - alliances were all wrong way, I would need to break number of truces to collect required provinces quickly, almost all Catholic Europe decided to fight me, the comets have been sighted yearly (or was it the same comet coming every year?). Realistically, in somewhat moderately favorable circumstances the same strategy can produce Germany by 1455 or so.

Anyway, what country did you formed it with?

I did it with a lean mean green machine. The optimal strategy here is probably to take loans, claim DoF, DoW someone on the Baltic without navally strong allies, build more cogs and armies, ship them there and then you can DoW everybody else who holds your cores (unfortunately there isn't enough diplomats to do it in one shot, so it's probably better to DoW larger ones and take the allies for the full infamy). This should leave you with tolerable infamy. After that it's just matter of getting things under control, collecting remaining Saxon provinces and "waiting" (meaning defending from Catholics). I was playing with the beta patch and I've actually ran out of manpower at some point - thus I had to peace out and wait for a bit before the second round of wars. Maybe it was a bit conservative choice, but continuing the wars seemed risky.

I am not sure about inheritance strategy here, there's so many nations you need so that the chances of inheriting all of them fast enough are quite slim. I think if that was easy there would be a record posted already - other PU-based unifications seems to all have records.

 

[unmerged(80402)]

Well, only nation you can't inherit is magdeburg, unless you manage to turn them into kingdom. But you can do it, by annexing, releasing un-vassalizing, and claiming throne.

Considering the mod not only changes the way a lot of those numbers are calculated, but also changes the start date such that your record is completed before the base game starts, it doesn't seem like a mod should be eligible here.

I second this opinion and believe that records achieved using D&T are ineligible. Though my knowledge of the mod is insignificant, I do know that the mod changes the gameplay extensively, and so hopefully my prejudice is understood.
