My Netherlands play through. I find it funny that I am not focusing on Europe at all, but I am the Emperor and I am 3 edicts away from forming the Empire. This is also the first match where England completely ignore Ireland and Scotland and invades Egypt and Russia. G'Damn England. But yeah, for the most part I am just a colonial force, France and England are my allies and I have had great luck in whatever wars I get dragged into.
Hahaha. Ironically those ugly borders have kept my nation from being devoured by Austria. He has never went past the Crimea. They used to look nicer then Austria made me release 5 nations D:. Kept on colonizing the GH and took the provinces with the most value first and that is what it turned into.
Ze: Wait.... Why has England colonized the golden horde?!
Really neat Scenario

England just went gung ho on the middle east right off the bat. Lost Scotland to Portugal and Spain.
Hey guys, so far I started a new game at 1399 and I pick the poorest Irish country...Connaught. Right off the bat I allied with the Papal States, Brittany, Munster, and Leinster. In 4 years we had manage to hold off the English with my hired 7 mercenary (5 mercenary infantry, 2 mercenary cavalry) along with my standard 3 army (2 infantry and 1 cavalry). Not only that, during the middle of the war, Scotland and France also decided to join in the fun which guaranteed my safety.
As a result, England eagerly accepted my peace treaty by giving me Meath and releasing Wales, Cornwall, and Northumberland and a 25 ducats because of his 18 WE.
Also because I had those mercenary I decided to declare war on Tyrone first and then my Irish allies and end up forming Ireland within a year after the English war
(PS. Lucky I didn't get any rebels because I had no cores during that time lol)
I disbanded the mercenary and planing on having a personal union with Cornwall and Wales because of the same culture group. It should be easy because Wales has no army and Cornwall only has one. So hopefully I have the PU within 2 years.
Just waiting on a 3rd cog to send in my standard 3 army.
A picture of the aftermath

Sukhothai Empire. Thought I'd stick to South Asia, Oceania & East Africa, but then I inherited Manchu and... you know how it goes.
Also, Novgorod and Castille were huge at first and very close to forming Russia and Spain respectively, but then they got stomped on by Burgundy. Bohemia was also huge and controlled all the lands around Turkey. When they fell, the Ottomans took advantage.
Heres my not-quite-yet French Empire:
Funny thing is, it took me 40 years to get Aquitaine, i attack England, Castille gets dragged in, im forced to sign white peace with England, cuz i cant deal with their naval invasions in Normandy + 3 doom stacks from the south. War with Castille ends, i pretty much force them to release a few Christian and a Muslim state, and get nothing for myself. Boom, Burgundy attacks me, oh boy what a mistake, i turn my 3 doom stacks (20 units each) north, all 3 have fresh ~75 tradition generals, + vassal swarm = one DEVASTATED Burgundy. Then i attack England again, and again someone else gets picked as alliance leader - Sweden, i kick their collective asses and force Sweden to cede English provs in Aquitaine (i did take 8 infamy though despite having CB on England, but i suppose that only counts if i make peace deal with England). From 1399. till the day i took ss i was in non stop war during whole time minus a few months peace periods when i annexed my vassals. So much fun!

^ Now THAT is a new one. Bohemia in Scandinavia. There are no hordes up there! Silly Bohemians . . .
Year's also 1742 and Russia never formed. He should invade there next.
That green and gold's actually really pretty...
Also, Greece looks too small. Expand there.

Malacca Empire - The Asian Conquerer
At last i succeed to expand and 'eat' most Chinese Faction..
Wu,Ming and Xia is now no longer a threat to my empire. And in my future plan i want to annex all of them.
But now i must be aware of Muscowy because what divide me and him is only a single province tribe 'Oirat Horde' which i in the process of colonise it.
Now my screenshot Malacca Empire on the asian. ( I conquer a little land from Swahili and Mutapa and now Mutapa is my vassal)
This is my malacca provinces (kinda scattered right? hehe)

(all the screenshot is not including my 4 Mutapa provinces and also Mutapa as a vassal.)
The year is 1666 and Holy war can't be used..waiting for national idea so that i can declare war on other asian (ming, wu, xia, qin)..
My plan;
-> conquer all asian [not arabic]..take muscowy province a little or maybe arabic country
Now the only threat is Muscowy, they have the largest army follow by Lithuania. Hopefully they are at war with each other soon..

Next i will post my Italian Kingdom. I start as Siena in what year i don't remember. I succeed to dismantle France, conquer all Europe Spain/Castille, Bohemia and Vesse is a small country and only Australia posses threat to me (but i'm not worry coz i have larger army than them)
1399 start date as Brandenburg, the year is now 1601, I have the HRE title and I've JUST managed to force Great Britain to form a PU as a peace treaty from the Fabricate Claims/Obscure Documents CB. My holdings in Spain, France and Scandinavia are the result of inheriting PUs with Castille, Guyenne and Sweden. My primary objective is to form Germany but I still need the province of Anhalt and they simply will not entertain a Royal Marriage with me nor have I been given the opportunity to Fabricate Claims, and the 50 years to core if I annex them seems far too long to wait!

Now I won't be able to win wars against Bohemia, I've only been able to get White Peace three times by destroying PUed Sweden's Navy.
Strangely though, Hungary beat Bohemia to the Hordes. However Bohemia went to war with Hungary and took the land that borders Byzantium, and poor Hungary suffered from rebellions it couldn't get to. Then Novgorod took advantage and took any nations formed from those rebellions.
Unfortunatly, Novgorod is my ally and the other nations in between are guaranteed by Bohemia.
The rest of Greece belongs to my ally Styria. D:

Sorta new to the forums, but what on earth are "Jagiellon" and how did Castille become "Iberia"?
Edit: What a winner for a "First Post" I now see that it's Death & Taxes. Would you recommend giving it a try?

If you have experience with vanilla EU3, then sure try mods. Mods can give years of additional gameplay to EU3, without them i would have stopped playing it long time ago.
