I'm not sure I even want to go to war with anyone there, everything looks so perfectly laid out.

(I'm playing as Germany in the game above, 1681. However, I had no real hand in any wars Poland, Milan, France, or Austria has fought - I only snatched a few of my German cores from Austria). Game was started at 1399.

Disregard Iberia though. Idk what the hell happened over there.

Oh and Poland has managed to retain all its land and even expand a bit more even though they've had the Peasant's War going on for the past 150 years.

What the hell is Russia doing not only expanding into Siberia, but eating all of China?

What is that golden blob in the Middle East?

Ireland? The Netherlands AND Flanders?

Denmark not part of Scandinavia?

Wow... that's nifty.

I dunno. They kept going on crusades against China and have reduced it to a OPM.

Yeah. Ireland is relatively new. Flanders has been around for the past 200 years, and Brabant formed the Netherlands.

My game went Sweden->Prussia->Germany, and I sold all my Swedish land to Norway so I could do a cultural switch.

And the big golden blob in the middle east is Castille :rofl:

That worked out fairly well. I deduced you were Germany before you said it.

And LO AND BEHOLD Russia and the land bridge to the S. China seas I pointed out several times.

That map confirms so many of my suspicions.

1. Castille taking areas around Jerusalem but never actually taking down the holy city.

2. 282 years into the game and both Manchu and Japan have no Idea what a colonist is, even for local domination. Don't just script them stupid.

3. There are S. American provinces the AI waits forever to bother colonizing, even though they would be a great advantage at the time. Mostly the Brazillian and GoM coasts.

Good TO game you have there, you should load up Castille and start selling off their absurd provinces to the rightful owners. How the hell did they end up with the Russian Capital???

To be fair for #1, I own Judea and Damascus, and I think my 20,000 troops sitting in Jerusalem are what's deterring them from taking the city.

2. Yeah. It's a bit annoying how retarded the growth of the far east is in EU3. But meh, it is europa universalis after all.

3. Most likely the problem there is that a few nations have set preferences as to where to colonize, so if some sort of misfortune befalls them, then they won't colonize them all that fast.

And I wasn't the TO. I had fun annexing them though hehe. I formed Prussia from Sweden, then Germany from Prussia. Castille ended up taking Neva (that's St. Petersburg, right?) in the early 1400s from Novgorod, and have held onto it ever since.

Have you tried starting with Sweden and making a switch to NL before Prussia? If you're slick you can make the switch and come back fairly quick...

I actually surmise a Hansa > NL > Swe > Scandinavia > Prussia > Germany would be the god of all games.

What am I missing?

EDIT: O ya Hapsburg Dominance!

Oo that's what I'm going to try for my next game. Right now in my Germany game I'm sitting at 180 something % discipline, so I figure I might as well try and max it out.

That is Portugal in North America, right?

I wish Paradox would do something about the Portuguese always colonizing there. At the start of the game's time frame, Portugal was a poor nation of less than a million people and one big rich city on the coast. There's a reason not even the English colonized the North American coast until the 17th century: There was nothing there. You had to use your own settlers to handle extractive industries. If you have no population from which to draw settlers, then you're not going to do very well doing anything but trading furs with Natives.

Geez, and I always think I'm doing great as long as mine's over 100%

Damn you, tempting Asian countries with blank slates for decisions!

Hehe. Once I get espirit d'corps and stumble upon the 'Great Commandant' event, I'll have 200%+.
:cool:

There was a lot of weird stuff that happened in that game though. Austria inheriting Fez, Russia somehow getting a province in North Africa, a reformed Pskov very nearly becoming HRE. Very odd.

Hey, this looks like pre-WW2 almost (except middleeast) and some smaller countries in Europe like Romania etc and Sweden.

Team up with Austria and declare war on everyone except the Spanish :rofl:
