2. What year is it? 1530

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win?
No. But my 2nd invasion of Zapotec failed pretty hard because I did not see that they were guaranteed by Maya. I had to white-peace.

I doubt it. I have 2 gold provinces, lots of sugar and a CoT in Tenochtitlan but that's it.

Like Habemous_Zlatan: Westernize. And them pesky europeans.

Austria (first time I have played them--started this morning).

2. What year is it?
~1420

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win?
Yes! Dogpiled by Bohemia, Naples, and Hungary on day two when I tried to take Northern Italy from Milan. I got Brescia and Cremona, but had to give up Krain and Gorz. I have since taken Verona, and at the moment am crushing Hungary for my land back (GH is my friend!).

4. Are you one of the richest countries?
Middle of the pack. I have enough money.

[rustic]

1. Who are you? (NOV->)Russia

2. What year is it? 1715-ish

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win? Almost. I intervened when Bohemia attacked OPM Krakow, what I didn't count on was that Austria and HRE Hesse would join in (together with assorted vassals and opportunists). When a few hundred thousand enemy soldiers were amassing in eastern Bohemia I was quite nervous. Managed to WP all 'cept for Austria (war leader), which then I could force to release Siena due to lots of won battles.

4. Are you one of the richest countries? My total yearly income is about twice that of the second on the list.

5. Are you at war? Not ATM, will be soon (horde debris doesn't count).

6. What is your main concern? That Bohemia will cause too much trouble in a balkanised Baltic/east European region.

7.Are you attacking people of being peaceful of both? More to the warmongering side.

8. Which country are you hating? Hmm, Bohemia or maybe snake-Manchu (STAY OUT OF PERSIA!).

9. Which country are you fearing? No single one, but I don't want to fight a HRE+Austria+Bohemia alliance again without proper preparations.

10. Who are your allies? I think the word you're looking for is "vassals": Riga, Lithuania, Crimea, Trebizond, some whasisname country in central Asia, I think that's it.

 

[unmerged(70580)]

1. Who are you? England.

2. What year is it? 1401.

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win? Apache Tomcat Error 1399-1821.

4. Are you one of the richest countries? Yep, number 1.

5. Are you at war? Yes, but only with one half of Europe. Currently at war with France, their numerous vassals, plus Scotland (should be my vassal in a year's time) & Naples (!) their allies in one war, & Castille in another war to PU them. I might war dec what's left of Granada, just for the Crusade bonus too, but need to clobber two pesky Castillian stacks first. I'm taking it slowly this game.

6. What is your main concern? That Aragon & Hungary may get legitimate rulers before I can PU them.

7.Are you attacking people of being peaceful of both? I am attacking lots of people.

8. Which country are you hating? I am pouring the hate on France at the moment, per usual. Come to me my beautiful cores.

9. Which country are you fearing? Borders tend to expand. At the moment I'm near Ireland, Scotland, & bits of France. As time goes by, I'll be near to lots of others.

10. Who are your allies? Portugal, Hungary, & Burgundy (thanks Burgundy by the way for keeping the French army busy whilst I go & vassalise Scotalnd, try not fo get defeated before I PU Castille please).

Nice thread btw.

[Gpeterse]

1. Who are you? The mighty Sultanate of Sulu

2. What year is it? 1763

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win? Burgundy fought me to a draw over the provinces of South America that rightfully belong in the sultanate's sphere but are temporarily being administered by Burgundy. I had to WP out several times in early wars when my target suddenly had a large Indian ally to support them. I am not proud of this but I did have to concede defeat to Mutapa when I was attacked by Portugal and they sank my entire transport navy off the coast of Africa.

4. Are you one of the richest countries? Yes

5. Are you at war? Not at this moment

6. What is your main concern? Overexpansion

7.Are you attacking people of being peaceful of both? Initially peaceful but recently have turned to expansion as several countries refuse to acknowledge my right to rule the Americas.

8. Which country are you hating? Two province Navarre. Their 24 ships sank 88 ships of mine in a quick series of naval battles of the coast of Spain. I guess being 23 tech levels ahead has some value.

9. Which country are you fearing? Navarre. Until I squash their navy there will be no resolution of my rights to rule South America.

10. Who are your allies? Until recently...Kongo. They 'decided' to join my great enlightened nation in the last few years. Poland isn't an official ally but they seem to work with my best interests in mind even though they officially hate me.

5. Not at the moment but its the first rest in a while.

6. Getting control of the Med and then reclaiming Italy

7. Attacking people, it seems a necessity for The Byzantine Empire.

8. Castille, they are defender of Catholics so they got dragged in whenever I DoW venice, naples, sicily etc.

9. France, my first war with them just finished and they are pretty scary (in my other games they've generall been kept in check by the english and burgundians.

10. Montenegro (2PM vassal), Dulkadir (1PM vassal), Bosnia (3PM)

4. Are you one of the richest countries? No.

5. Are you at war? Not right now.

6. What is your main concern? Fixing the economy/stability. Build power, get allies. Retaking Greece if a good opportunity shows up.

[HabemusZlatan]

I have abadoned the Mali game for being so OP even Europeans couldn't scratch me.

1. Who are you? Sicily. Yeah, Sicily.

2. What year is it? 1420

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win? I have been very sensible and did not wage wars I wasn't certain I could win

4. Are you one of the richest countries? No, really not.

5. Are you at war? Yes, against TO. But I'm just war taxing my way out of the wars since, well, they're on the other side of the multiverse.

6. What is your main concern? The Ottomans may want to subdue the greek people under my dominion. This I can't allow.

7.Are you attacking people of being peaceful of both? Peaceful. Since I've already conquered a good portion of Greece and I am Naples' overlord, I can concentrate in trade more than conquering.

8. Which country are you hating? Actually no one, and for once I'm grateful to the Castillians for having crushed my biggest enemy (which was my biggest bro once), Aragon.

9. Which country are you fearing? Ottomans, Hungary if they decide I'm not worth their friendship.

10. Who are your allies? Hungary, Epirus (vassal) Albania (Vassal), Denmark, Savoy and, of course, Naples.

 

[unmerged(80402)]

1. Who are you?
Moscow

2. What year is it?
About 1450

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win?
Yes, one with golden horde... one time i won with them, but they revieved with 80k stack, so i decided that i should pay the tribute. Better than dieing.

4. Are you one of the richest countries?
Yes, 6th or so i am not sure.

5. Are you at war?
Not now. But will be sooner or later with sibirian horde.

6. What is your main concern?

Attacking people. From the very beggining

8. Which country are you hating?
Golden Horde

9. Which country are you fearing?
Golden Horde

[Pewt]

1. Who are you?
Malacca -> Malaya

2. What year is it?
Mid 1500s.

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win?
I've won every war that I started (I'm pretty careful about my DoWs), but Ming and friends beat me up a bit recently in a war of their own.

4. Are you one of the richest countries?
Yes.

5. Are you at war?
No, I'm still recovering from being kicked around by Ming.

6. What is your main concern?
Ming. Also Europeans.

7.Are you attacking people of being peaceful of both?
Mostly colonizing, but I've been taking bites out of Indochina every now and then.

8. Which country are you hating?
Ming.

9. Which country are you fearing?
Ming.

10. Who are your allies?
Nobody. I don't like relying on AI allies if I can avoid it, since they drag me into pointless wars and more or less make wars a gamble (if I declare a war I can win alone then why should I care about my ally, and if I declare one I can't win alone then if my ally peaces out early it can be disastrous). I generally only ally countries to stop them declaring war on me (since sometimes countries insist on declaring Reconquest regardless of relations, military access, etc) or in very special circumstances (like the PU-ganks in early game japan).
