Hard setting, all other at at default.

This campaign didn't turn out as planned at all, decided colonization of NA was boring so I abandoned that fairly soon. Decided later that warmongering in Asia was more fun.

edit : Securing all of the Iberian peninsula took a while due to Portugal and Aragon fighting together with England every time I attacked, and whenever I had high war exhaustion France would attack. So that took a few centuries.

Easy to form, not very easy to maintain considering you get penalties for owning an absurd amount of wrong culture (And often wrong religion) provinces.

It's so annoying my plan was to then conquer all of europe (western europe - urals) but the rebel problem has left me with no expansion... and my heirs keep dying from some diease (other then spending 20 gold on a doctor is there any way to stop this?) and the replacements suck 3-4-3, 4-4-4, 3-3-3 ect and they come with huge legitimacy hits! The silly habsburgs keep finding other women to have there kids with though so thats probaly why i keep getting huge legitimacy hits. I've also had 3 regency councils totaling 30 years! all in all pretty good for my 3rd game (4th if you count a game where i didnt know what to do and got destroyed)


for fun heres some more screen shots !

Yep... it's impressive how some countries can grow if you are kicking their enemies. During my gameplay I iherit a big Modena, fight bravely against a huge Papas State, etc, etc.

I just finished a game with a colossal Polotsk, which went on to form a Catholic Belarusian Russia once converted to V2.
