In your current game...

[Oiska]

1. Who are you?
I'm Spain, the imperator of South-America.

2. What year is it?
1535ish

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win?
No, I've only fought one 'real' war and that was after I inherited Aragon and France was starting to go blobey-boo on my allies, the English. The war ended up being ''civilized world vs France'', with HR Emperor being allied with England and dragging with him half Europe to the war. France was 'defeated' in half a year but they only had to release Normandy... Which didn't harm them at all, it seems.

4. Are you one of the richest countries?
THE richest country, twice as rich as the 2nd richest one (due to me owning whole South-America, while nobody else has colonized yet).

5. Are you at war?
Nope

6. What is your main concern?
I need to align my self with either super-Bohemia or HRE ruling Austria to take on France, as the colonizing has left me a bit behind techwise (1-2 levels behind France on everything but Land). I just hope France won't declare on me before I've decided who to support.

7.Are you attacking people or being peaceful or both?
Mainly peaceful, not counting the occasional cash-in-war from American natives.

8. Which country are you hating?
FRANCE!

9. Which country are you fearing?
France, but not for long..

10. Who are your allies?
Currently, only England. Haven't needed allies the whole game.

 

[blsteen]

1. Who are you?
Scandinavia (formed from Sweden)
2. What year is it?
1721
3. Have you lost a war you tried to win?
Yes, two rounds versus Bohemia, twice versus Ottomans. But both got their just desserts in the end.
4. Are you one of the richest countries?
Yes, the richest. Richer than the next two combined.
5. Are you at war?
Nope, finished a war with Austria & Persia about two years ago.
6. What is your main concern?
Not getting bored as I am a superpower.
7.Are you attacking people or being peaceful or both?
Both. In the last century, about 3 to 1 for being the aggressor.
8. Which country are you hating?
Austria. dang German Emperor. Ottomans just because.
9. Which country are you fearing?
None,
10. Who are your allies?
My vassals Novgorod, Meckleberg, Poland, Anhalt; allies are Salzburg, Nizhny Novgorod, & Georgia.

 

[Memento Mori]

1. Who are you? The Most Catholic Empire of Castille

2. What year is it? Year of our Lord 1592

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win? Yes. Twice. Both times against Bohemia. Both times my warscore was positive. Both times they attacked after I DoWed the ottoman heathans. The third time they were not so lucky.

4. Are you one of the richest countries? The richest, yet material wealth is irrelevant if the matters of soul are threatened.

5. Are you at war? No. In between two wars, though.

6. What is your main concern? Spreading Catholicism from Gibraltar to China. Preferably under my direct or indirect authority. Only indirect in non-iberian Europe, though.

7.Are you attacking people or being peaceful or both? Deus Vult! Si Deus pro nobis quis contra nos est? There will be no rest for heretics and heathens, they shall be purged with fire and sword! I am playing very peaceful, as long as one is a catholic living under Castillian monrchy.

8. Which country are you hating? These who strayed aside from the One True Faith or do not convert all of it's provinces vigorously And these oportunistic Bohemian swines. I should also hate my tretcherous vasals from Aragorn, as they broke their vassalization and DoWed me after France declared war on me, but I am actually impressed.

9. Which country are you fearing? Fear?! With God on my side I fear nothing except perhaps the 4PM HRE Mecklemburgia, who, despite it's tiny size has an army which surpasses my own (over 60 regiments!), and while it is far away, it terrorises my alies in Poland. I fear the day we will meet.

10. Who are your allies? Temporal ones are some of my vassals, and either Poland, Lithuania, Sweden (i2b Scandinavia in a few years) or a combination of the ones above. All are catholic

 

[SSmith]

1. Who are you? Aragon

2. What year is it? 1459

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win? Technically, yes. I got what I wanted (Sardinia) but had to make concessions to make peace with Bohemia.

4. Are you one of the richest countries? Definitely not!

5. Are you at war? Yes! Again...

6. What is your main concern? Castille has had me excommunicated for most of the game! My diplomatic relations are awful, France and Castille keep attacking me and my war exhaustion is huge!

7.Are you attacking people or being peaceful or both? I attacked Navarra and Sardinia early in the game. Later I took southern Italy from Sicily (way, way too much infamy!). Since then all I want is peace but I can't get it!

8. Which country are you hating? Castille (and their Sicilian and Papal lackeys)! I have broken their power but they won't stop - they just wait until I am at war with France!

9. Which country are you fearing? France! They're the only power around me that I can't defeat one-on-one.

10. Who are your allies? Granada and Navarra! Impressive, don't you think?

Vassalize Pope when you meet them at war, this will make you impregnant to excomunication, and all your enemies, enemies of pope. While it may cost you 4 infamy, it actualy does worth it. I did so in my aragon game.

 

[arbogli]

Papal State

2. What year is it?
1609

9. Which country are you fearing?
Bohemia, I can't move without getting a war without them get involved

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense!

 

[brifbates]

New game, got bored with Ottoman dominance around 1675 owning all of Russia+China+SE Asia and most of India...

1. Who are you?
Sweden

2. What year is it?
1515ish

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win?
Not yet, but I can see it happening if I try and tangle with the unholy alliance

4. Are you one of the richest countries?
#3 in Europe atm, probably behind 1 or 2 in rotw

5. Are you at war?
not atm, massive infamy burn plus reformation is not really the time to go to war

6. What is your main concern?
completing the Baltic coast achievement, still need Riga, Kurland, Memel, Ostpreussen, Warmia, Danzig, Hinterpommern, and Stettin I believe. If you also need Holstein, Lubeck and Mecklenburg I'd need them too. About half of those are owned by vassals atm and most of the rest is Poland who I should be able to stomp pretty handily.

7.Are you attacking people or being peaceful or both?
A fair load of war but I've also done some diplo-vassalizing of the north German coast and got a random RM only PU-inherit of Thuringia.

8. Which country are you hating?
not overly fond of The Hansa atm as they are sitting on Kurland going nyah nyah nyah cus Bohemia/Austria would roflstomp my face if I tried to kick them out of there

9. Which country are you fearing?
Austria and Bohemia have been taking turns as emporer and are allies, not a chance the dirt poor north can take that mess on yet-I own all of Scandinavia (sold Orkney to England though, no need to fight over that dump later on), Antwerpen (thanks to Bur being HRE while getting rolled by France and jumping me for attacking Brandenburg to take Vorpommern for my mission), Thuringia (both provs), Estland, Livland, and all northwestern Novgorod territory except the capital itself (soon but no CB and they had bad allies for a while)

10. Who are your allies?
Holland+ my vassals Holstein, Saxe-Lauenburg, Pommerania, Mazovia, Riga, Pskov, Murom (in Kholm), Tver, and Yaroslavl

As per usual, nothing much happened in the reformation-Poland went Protestant along with 2pm Holland, 4 prov bav, and a couple OPMs, England and Baden are only Reformed. I went Protestant as well once 10 or 11 provinces up north flipped.

 

[gardel va]

1. Who are you? Pommeriania

2. What year is it? 1508

3. Have you lost a war you tried to win? No. I'll confess that on a few occasions I experimented a bit to see how my target's allies would react to a DOW, and reloaded after I figured out. I don't know if I would have lost the resulting war, but I wasn't interested in trying.

4. Are you one of the richest countries? 2nd, right behind France.

5. Are you at war? No.

6. What is your main concern? Manpower. I've go a 59,000 person army, but only 28,000 manpower, which means I quickly run down my reserves if I'm involved in a series of big battles.

7.Are you attacking people of being peaceful of both? More peaceful than usual. I consciously decided to do a trading nation this time, which means I have to watch the BB.

8. Which country are you hating? Austria. They're blobbing, and have intervened in almost every war I started. I've managed to beat them off, but it's still annoying. I don't hate Bohemia, as they've left me alone. However, I've had a majority of the electors for many years now, but the current Bohemian emperor just won't die.

9. Which country are you fearing? France, Bohemia, Austria. B & A both have armies about the same size as mine, but they're allied and have massive manpower. If they ever team up against me, I'm in trouble (see item 6). France is, well, France. Fortunately, most of its battles have been against B & A, but I'll have to face them sometime.

10. Who are your allies? German minors, mostly vassals.

6. What is your main concern? The Holy Roman Emperor preventing me from annexing Northern Italy, that and a semi blobbing France with a huuuuge army

7.Are you attacking people or being peaceful of both? We've had a couple of 'Conqueror' Doge's, other than that, mostly peaceful

8. Which country are you hating? Hungary, our ally, who is stuck in a perpetual war with Moldavia (who has conquered a province from the horde that Hungary has no access to) Hungary holds a province we need to expand the HRE into the Balkans and Greece

9. Which country are you fearing? We used to fear the Ottoman Empire (they had an army of nearly 200 000 men, this is the end of the 1300's, however, they disbanded their entire army, reducing it to a mere 2000 men, then we struck in a holy crusade, and, having now kicked the muslims out of Europe), our only fear now is France, that it will unite all the frogeating people and blob uncontrollably, oh yeah, and we're fearful of the invisible hand of economics, as it might crush our trading empire

10. Who are your allies? Our vassals (Bologna, Modena, Rimini, Firenze, Lucca, Montenegro, Hum, Epirus and Leage of Lezhe) as well as Milan, Serbia and Hungary

7.Are you attacking people or being peaceful or both? I like peace, but that's impossible to get as a Shamanist Republic trying to expand across North America.

8. Which country are you hating? Spain. They DoWed me in 1588 and did absolutely nothing for 40 years except having their vassal stick one dumb ship in front of my port. They wouldn't accept any reasonable peace offer with concessions. Killed my economy.
