So, after doing what is supposed to be done, first forming a Grand Hansa and building a slice of a colonial empire on the Northern Hemisphere, then building a Neva-to-Alaska spanning Russian Empire with Muscovy, finally building a nearly Pan-Germanic Germany from Brandenburg-to-Prussia, I find that I feel kind of bored. I know that there are still parts of the game that I cannot do, like right now I'm having huge problems trying to keep poor old Norway together after a peacefully ending Union thanks to an enthusiastic Sweden, but I feel like I need something new, something I haven't tried, something that isn't quite your usual "carve an Empire" type of playthrough.
So, what I'm asking is, what kind of interesting gameplays can you think of? I remember back in EU3 there was an awesome AAR of Brunswick going for a gentleman's approach and only conquered provinces if they were or would immediately become cores. That kind of gameplay is now, of course, impossible.
What else is there to try? What self-made restrictions and / or goals to set on yourself to create a different, new and refreshing game for thineself?
