I know. I was Just suggesting Various places that Rome held in a sarcastic and cheeky manner. Mainly I did it because of the "you have to have these borders to be Rome" people.

Nah, it was founded by an Abbasid caliph in the 8th century. You probably think it's the successor to Babylon, i thought that too. The real "successor" is a city named Hillah
Nice!Behold my Neo-Roman Empire.
You should get Death and Taxes, it allows you to re-establish SPQR.
I didn't though. No point in restoring the Roman Empire when I'm already playing as it!
That is simply awesome. Definitely a winner for the Ugliest Borders award.Here you go:
It feels sad.
I totally see that . . . maybe . . . >.>
Ultimately, that really is quite the beautiful Europe. I'm impressed. The only thing left to do is to straighten out France's name.
TO->PRU->GER
After fighting off Denmark, I ate the crumbling Lithuania, and as Bohemia was doing their snake thing early game I had to expand south east to block access to the steppes. At one moment my armies had all broken in an unfortunate moment and the Golden Horde was carpet sieging my lands. By launching sea borne raids from Gotland and Ösel with a 3k stack, I could kill off enough 1 regiment armies to have them accept a peace where I paid tribute to them. When I later reached the black sea I could start expanding westwards.
This is how it looked just before forming Germany. Brandenburg was trolling me for the mid half of the game and postponed the forming of Germany a great deal. First they dogpiled me whenever I was at war, then they were having the most stable dynasty EVER so that I couldn't PU them, and lastly they refused to ally me so that I could diploannex them. Ended with a war of aggression. Meh.
Well, Germany. The sprawling in the north east was entirely boundary dispute-driven.
And this is how it looks after gobbling up almost all the cores, and a few more boundary disputes to the east.

They were a little bigger before Russia formed but are now a thing of the past.
Will this do? For the last forty years and for the forty years left all I've been doing is squashing rebels in my allied countries' colonies.Ultimately, that really is quite the beautiful Europe. I'm impressed. The only thing left to do is to straighten out France's name.
I also got a personal union with Portugal who is... oh right, over there. I also for the longest time had a good chance of getting a personal union with France as well but their (very old) king eventually got a heir. Oh well, Spain and now Portugal is enough.
I don't think I'm going to take any further action in this game except continue to crush rebels and hope for more unions. I'm allied with France, Great Britain, Scandinavia, and Russia; and they're all the European countries that's left besides my vassals/unions. Well, Aragon exists in America and Aquileia owns most of Southern Africa. But still. And I'd rather be allies with everyone than declare war on old friends to make the rest of the world look as nice as Europe.
Where did you download this? I can't find itWhat?!? I've been waiting forever for an update to Steppe Wolf. So that is basically the update? I must go look this up, thank you for giving me this knowledge.
The Netherlands at 1502:
Holy Roman emperor as well as monopolizing colonization in the Americas. Most of the territory is cored due to being gained from PUs inside the HRE, which were almost all forced using forged claims. I stopped conquering uncored territory in the old world after this, as there was no point, as it would only slow down my tech/stab rate.

Nice!
Now just clean up the borders.
This Germany has cool borders. Maybe you could release the provinces west of that as vassals so you don't have that standard Germany thats just devouring everything it touches...
I mean you've won this round anyways, why not go out with good looking borders?
Here is my Ukraine game, I will try to retain these borders for the rest of the game, not including colonial possesions(currently only Ceylon) on the screenshot or in expansion plans.
Also, I am in the HRE and I am currently expanding colonial and mass building buildings in Ukraine Heartland.
What did you start as?

How is it possible for the economy to be that bad with such a huge empire?
Hungary game, in 1548.
Ottoman Empire on latest 5.2 beta very hard difficult.
Screenshot taken right before fall of the empire due to war with bohemia-burgundy alliance.

Here is Germany as of 1729:
I started as Brandenburg in 1356, founded the Kingdom of Prussia in 1522, and then Germany in 1648. My first goal was to form Germany's borders of 1871. My army is so powerful that I believe only Russia (my ally) and Qing have the sheer numbers to be a challenge.
I also control England & Wales, western Austria, southern US and India, and the Bismarck archipelago.
EDIT: Thanks, Daiyoukai. Here's the world map:
Now my goal is to conquer as much of Europe as possible before time runs out in 1861.
