What mods are you using?Spain in the mid 18th century:
Or: How I learned that overseas expansion is totally worthless. I just lost two wars in a row, having to cede my Walisian posessions and Umbria. Trade companies in India just don't work >.>
By "started by soldiers" I mean the people in the video who play the song are those soldiers.The meme started by soldiers? Im pretty sure it was not started by soldiers.
And its kinda funny that people get hurt by a meme, but have no problem playing EU4 that is basically a genocide simulator. lol
I present you (yet another) abomination, which is Ternate Global Spice Emporium 100 years before the game's end since i want to start another campain already

To be fair to the both sides, Mahir Bureković's Mudžahedin was great as well!

Three custom nation achievements in one go. I started with that province at the tip of Florida (1-1-1), with 200 points, Western tech and Norse religion.

So here is my ordinary Ottoman Empire, just finished a war with Qara to gain the rest of the Iraq region and some more of Arabia.
Next my plan is to clean up Arabia and to then establish a border in the mountains around Georgia, before I go and begin to wipe the floor with Persia. Any recommendations for what else I could do in this game?

German Reich denied - first ironman game that I ever finished since release.

My 2nd Oman to Arabia campaign. Started of by taking most of the arabian penninsula in the first 10 years as I declared war on Hormuz who was allied to Shammar whom I vassalized as I also annexed Hormuz. DoWed Nasj who was allied to Yemen. I occupied both countries fully before takin a few bits of land from Yemen so I got a border to Hejaz. Then as I vassalized Nasj I unintentionally got dragged into a war with Qaatari and Hejaz, ending with me getting Mekkah and full annexation of Qaatari.
Later I cozied up to Ottomans who dragged me into a war with Qara quounlyuasfgsdgdfg(whatever its name is) and promised me territory. Now all I got in the peace was a 1,1,1 province, but I did get 30 points of favours with the Ottos.
Was able to cut the Ottomans borders with Mamelukes and Timurids in the following wars, allowing me to gobble em up. By 1590s the Ottos joined the protestant league against the Catholics (lead by Sweden who also became emperor) I rivaled Otto, broke alliance and waited. Sure enough they got bogged down in the league war and I DoWed them just as Otto and their allies armies were depleted. Otto got both peasant revolt and particularist which took most of their provinces to 60% autonomy and they never recovered.

So, many patches ago I made a go at France and didn't get more than 150 years because it was back in the good old days when you could Un-Ironman your saves by clicking on them at the wrong time. So I decided i'd make a go for it again and grab a bunch of achievements, including the one for playing up to the time limit. So here's my first start to finish!
Europe. Got the Emporership and Inheritance early on. I'm allied with Italy, coldly neutral with Prussia, and was friends with Castile for the entire game up till 20yrs ago when they declared Portugal for the 4th time while I was recovering from a colonial war. Portugal is a monster, ahead of both me and Castile on mil tech and able to field 150k troops. I'm not sure what deal Theodoro made with Satan but they've been slowly expanding for the entire game.
Not shown: England is now just half of South Africa, shared with Portugal and Castille, and that one province in Ireland which was occupied by Particularists for 200 years until a cleaned then up a couple of decades before this. Russia didn't form untill the 1700's and then promptly imploded.
North America with colonies Canada, Lousiana and Nouvelle France. Very pleased with my painting here, sold provinces to Canada till they reached the rockies rather than letting California form. Ideally I'd have liked Louisiana to stretch to the Rio Grande but I never got around to it.
Indian ocean posessions, finally got Master of India and trade hegemon. Plus a few trade posts in Africa for the steering.
Last but not least, Oceana. Thats me in Indonesia, Japan (fully cored and Krishtian), and Hong Kong. Korea in Manchuria. The Ottomans have southern Sumatra. Not shown: Scottish Australia.
Russia didnt get going until the last 100 years, and then got beat up so bad that they triggered the revolution, which was quashed after a few years. Shame, I wanted a Russian resurgance in the final century, would have been a nice underdog narrative.
Now they just need to hurry up with the next patch so I can get my Sunset Invasion!

Turned to be a real EU4 weekend for me. Arabia and now Germany.
As I am just left with maybe 3-4 provinces to complete Germany with in Europe, I'm going to here on go colonial. Get some colonies in South America, Africa and trade ports in India and China.

I'm impressed! I just got First Come, First Serve and Ideas Guy together (posted a few pages ago, wasn't trying for For Odin!), but with only about 5 years left on the clock—nice work!
Wait is it broken? I am trying to get it right now, was going to post my empire when I was done.

After maybe 1550 all I fought was coalitions, but Prussia stack wipes all
I allied France and major HRE members like Bavaria and Bohemia to avoid them from joining the coalitons. Then it was just mostly keeping up a never ending assault on HRE. As soon as a truce with a minor nation ended I declared war so that they did not get the chance to join the coalition against me. By 1590 I had to fight Spain and all italian states who joined the coalition as well. But offensive+quality=Prussia stack wiper, wipes map clean.
Decided to play tall with my Terra Mariana run. Riga > Kurland > Prussia - not for the discipline and morale, but for that sweet, sweet development cost reduction. Kept myself solely to the Baltic region, never had any vassals or the like. The twist? All of my provinces have at least 40 development, giving me ~1025 development overall, and empire rank.
Trade income was 110 ducats collected entirely from the Baltic node. Max manpower was 315k, with 285 regiments. Reached max tech and max ideas while running five policies since about 1600. At one point it only cost me 5 monarch points to develop my capital, as I was running economic ideas, constitutional monarchy's land reform, high Burgher influence and loyalty, Protestant bonuses, and so forth. My allies were Brandenburg, Russia, Netherlands, Ottomans, and Yarkand (I also finally got the Trustworthy achievement out of the way).
This was also the first time in 2673 hours of playing EU4 that I have ever seen the AI form Italy (from Ferarra). I swear I had nothing to do with it, I was even rivaled to both of Ferarra's main allies, France and Austria. So that was neat.
World map:
Needless to say, with how Europe turned into a close-knit group of superpower allies and rivals, this game did a swell job of making me look forward to the next patch developing great power mechanics.
