and we'll never know whats in that one patch of ocean off the coast of europe! Atlantis perhaps!
Ive seen a mod that has a modded persia thats zoroastrian....true persian religion! I'll have to mod persian to not have a theocracy they didnt have one of those till 1979 i think
edit:also you need to conquer athens at one point
even if the rest of greece is well greece

Oh you don't want to see that place, that place is a warzone right now, couple of exiled European Governments there as well.
I considered conquering Greece, However the game is getting a bit stale after I finished all my conquests, and with Castille, France, and Great Britain out of commission there is not much competition to be had.
did you fragment them? Also go sweden! and eesh dat western hemisphere.....hopefully eu4 will find a way to limit the random colonisation some. Although kurland should geta mission to colonize gambia

France collapsed on it's own, I don't remember why. Great Britain fragmented Castille, and I did the same to Great Britain, because they wouldn't give me Bithynia
Just noticed this happening in my game and I saved it as a scenario
: an enticing choice to create Finland as the Karelians. I feel militarily safe too as Russia has been spliced into many territories and Swedes are my friends. I am a nicey western culture (maybe unhistorical for the orthodox eastern Finns though). I also translitterated the province names into more Finnish ones, Ingermanland to Inkerinmaa, and Kexholm city to Käkisalmi, but the province is of course Aunus.
O geez, o man, I am completely lost. Any advice?
Low treasury and stability are from moving my capital. Low manpower is from a war with Castille after being unfortunate enough to form a personal union with Morocco. I had captured their capital by walking all the way there.

Muslim: yes; HRE: no. Every nation in Europe (except Ottomans) hates my guts so there's no way I'd get in (not that I'd want to).
Shiite has one too many 'i's -- the tax penalty is a real annoyance considering how few cored, right religion, right culture provinces I have.
Also France has made a beeline toward me and shortly after I took the screenshot below, they declared war on me. Holland and Aachen had warned France so they're on my side. They should provide enough of a distraction that I can deal with France's doomstacks individually and hopeful get a favo(u)rable outcome in this war. If someone else starts a second war with me however I'm finished.
Edit: France has 90k while I only have 19k. Morocco is in a personal union with me, and Yemen is my vassal. I allied The Mamluks and the Ottomans thinking that would be enough of a deter to prevent France (or anyone else) from declaring war on me -- guess the AI knows no one can help me. Oops!
One very important tactic I've learned is that the AI will not help a nation that is badly losing a war. Almost everything I've conquered were minor nations fully or almost fully occupied but weren't annexed because occupier would have had to take full infamy (not to mention the unlawful penalty). Everyone dishonored their call to arms. I also made sure to wait until Bohemia (still the emperor) was busy just in case.

It's surprising the AI doesn't use any sort of Casus belli to eat you alive, at least the HRE. I think that would be the logical step for european christian nations, if a muslim nation gets stranded in the heart of europe.
Still though, keep fighting.
Edit: By casus belli I'm thinking of a mini-crusade of sorts; holy war if you prefer.

My Genoa slightly after the height of it's power. I'm falling apart and because the game is evil this obviously means, that the more bad thinks happen the more bad conditions will pile up and nations will kick me in the head while I'm down until someone annexes me...
My new core area. I wanted to play a Neo-Confuzian Global Thalassocracy. Well, the Religion Group change was the most difficult of it, now I can theoretically reinstall a republic and then I'm just one "lost" war with Manchu or Korea away from my goal.
Most of my European holdings. Not shown are the former capitol, Corsica and Sardinia and 3 provinces in Iberia. I'm into Black Sea Trade. The Province of Georgia and two Bulgarian Provinces just annexes by Serbia were lost during the moving of the capitol.
Genoese Armerica was quite stable during the move.
My African holdings. I lost some provinces in the west, used to control the colonized coastal provinces or abjected to coastal provinces that are now Mali or Songhai.
Currently I'm recovering 761 Manpower each month and about 10.000 rebels spawn each month - and that is bad. I'm hoping that my Ruler dies fast, the heir has a strong claim and Admin Skill 4, and without the 2.5 Legitimacy and 3 Overextension Revolt Risk penalty (I hate my Admin 3 Ruler!!!!) I might just be able to handle it.
In retrospect, it would have been wiser to wait with the move of the capitol until I have a land-connection from East Asia to the Black Sea holdings. The "Distant Oversea" penalty is one of the central factors that kill me. - But then again I got Buddhist Revolutionaries right next to my core province in Asia and that was a rare opportunity I didn't want to miss on.
Edit:
Loaded an older save. Now it looks like this:
Sadly I'm still Catholic but this worm-like land-connected country reaching from Swahili Africa over Ethiopia, Egypt, Turkey, the Hordelands and along the Chinese Border south to the Ganges Delta - that's weired enough for now.

5.2b December - 1767 as Spain
France was a pain in my side for a very long time. I chased France out of Europe. They conquest Aztecs, and occupied Central America. I evicted France out of Central America, and they consolidated in Australia... Good riddance.
My NI selection has been strange, as I first went with heavy Land NIs to ensure that France wouldn't overrun Castille (which happened in previous games).
I also ended with the Engineer Corps NI to help with the sieges. Sieges are harder in the December beta!
The 5.2b 10 year truce period slowed down the conquests. Spain became the HRE for a while, which was fun. The last major war was against Bohemia. I am waiting for BB to decrease, then it is time for Austria to feel some pain. I am hoping to pit my armies against the Ottomans before the end of the game.

Clearly you are lying. As we all know, Spain is not the emperor.

FREE TIBET...
and actually beating the crap out of china.
this nation is imho ultra hard being hated by india and china alike yet situated right between the two. and the hordes... and no manpower... no manpower! (5.2b)
i spent 200 years with no MP with my troops constantly regenerating. never hit the limit. now i have at least my troop limit and some of MP available.
fully modernized (annexed zanzibar for that purpose) so in my playground there's no one to challenge me. now it's only massacring thousands of chinese (land 30 vs. 15) and moving to the china sea. i know it's not animist, tribal and it has forts but still one of the hardest starts i ever had.
