Sorry but internet does not have enough space to fill my most shameful moments list.
Honestly, i constantly make mistakes in Paradox games. There are so many things to do that sometimes i just forgot some of them. Common mistake for me is to not do enough as i wait until i get more monarch points or money. Don`t remember my most shameful mistakes, but there are many for sure.

My vassal just released some 6 provinces as a new nation because separatist rebels spawned and I cleared them but completely forgot to retake the provinces they had already besieged because I was too busy with a war on the other side of the map.
On the other hand my vassal's army was sitting in his own territory the whole time and didn't have the intelligence to retake his own provinces, so I guess we can share the stupidity award.

I had a game where I was hoping to set the record for HRE revoke time. I had scummed early games to where I had it near perfect, with early inheritance and 2 PUs. I took east Frisia and a massive chunk out of Denmark and Norway, poised to take from Finland area next for easy additions. I was waiting for Ottomans to move on Mamluks so I could go there in the meantime (AE was gonna be bad hitting any more Christians). Took a dump. Forgot to pause.

I bought Common Sense
Just kidding, Common Sense is actually quite a useful dlc, especially for spreading the institutions.
TTM attempt. A good one. Came out of the first war against France with manpower completely depleted, and stupidly decided not to consolidate. Didn't want to bother re-assembling tons of stacks. Went on to open two more wars and still do okay, then opened a third war I thought I'd do fine with, against the Papal State. I wanted to take advantage of my being at war against their main ally (Teutonic Order) to break them.
I had full stacks ready to fight them but they whittled them down and I kept on not consolidating. It got bad enough that I settled for scraps in the other war, then TO joined again. They kept winning fight after fight against my depleted, unconsolidated regiments. The warscore got as bad as 48%.
That was pretty much the most shameful moment I can remember. I remember rage-quitting my session. I was convinced I'd thrown away my best attempt ever, almost 300 years in. I'm not an elite player, I was reaching just about as far as my ability can possibly take me.
I eventually sat down, thought about it, got my resolve back, loaded the game, finally consolidated my regiments and rallied back. I was supposed to already know this, but it was lesson re-learned: Consolidate. Your. Regiments.

France is powerful with Elan! (and their starting generals(they died on me within 5 years in a France ironman run

I learned from my mistakes, I usually only declare when France is warring Burgundy and even then check generals and if they have mercs and wait for the PUs.France is powerful with Elan! (and their starting generals(they died on me within 5 years in a France ironman run
France gets a special treatment

France isn't that powerful if you're a major nation. Oddly, i only have a hard time fighting them as England, which i have only attempted once. When i play as Burgundy, taking Champagne and the province to the south of that, will cripple them alot.
