What mod is that that makes the map and font look like March of the Eagles?
Theatrum Orbis Terrarum mods, there are multiple ones, I think i have the one that has a different map, higher opacity and golden text. I prefer the white text but I don't think the font works for the one I subscribed to on Steam - I find black to not stand out as much as the lighter colours with a darker border around the text

currently playing a game of Switzerlake, and the Religious leagues have just started forming, and waiting on my Dictator to die so I become a Monarchy (with both Diplomatic and Influence, it shouldn't be that difficult to sneak a few PU's just for giggles)

Other than a single swipe at Savoy for my cores (France was willing to help when Castile wouldn't honour and Austria had just gotten ganged by Ottomans), I've been utterly unable to expand south because Savoy and Milan was at all points allied to Austria, Castile->Spain, France or more than one of them, So I've mainly expanded north

Reason why i got all those money? ... My donation drive-by against Lübeck was highly succesful

Rise of the White Sheep. Armenia and Tabarestan are vassals and Mamluks are my only ally.
Took 3 wars, called mams in for the 1st & 2nd but they only wanted land for the first one and didn't want any land, for the second even though I called them in promising land they desired none and I didn't lose trust :D.
Had to truce break for the last war or I would have ran out of time.

I've allied Ayutthaya to create a buffer between me and Greater Ming Co-Prosperity Sphere.

I've tried to make Catholic rebels convert me afterwards(for Kirishitan Japan), but they've decided to stay on Pacific islands I've taken from Iberians.

Ming and their tributaries. This is insane. At some point Ming had also Malacca and Ryukyu as Tributaries, but I've liberated them.
For the whole campaign Ming kept highest income, largest army, the only navy that could compete with me (even though I've sunk it three times). They've kept up with technologies, spawned TWO institutions (Global Trade and Enlightenment).

My lil' Salzburg (1.19). Fun facts: 1# I did not have any sea provinces until I integrated Spain (strangely enough, I never had any problems with them), 2# in order to integrate them, I made them lose all their provinces in Congo, 3# average AE for HRE area by XVIII century was around 80-100. Note Pomeprussian Emperor of the HRE (formed by Brandenburg, humiliated to look like their long-time rival).

lazy game as jianzhou for achievements. bahmanis, persia, tabarestan, yarkand, sibir are tributaries.
sweden is in PU under GB. fought a lot of wars versus Otto-derp and GB who constantly try to conquer my trib-peeps :-| gets boring after a while to hunt the AI armies who constantly seek routes around my armies into mainland China. definitely one of the most annoying things and unrealistic.
bordergore around Sibir is due to annexing Moscovy remnants so i can harmonize christian group.

interesting Europe. TO is still catholic, obviously. Netherlands formed by a huge Brabant. Hesse is doing...something. Love the fact that Portugal conquered (and stated most of) central africa => 160k army.

A mass achievement run (got 5 of them - Sakoku Law, Made in Japan, Three Trivial Tributary Tribes, Absolutely and Golden Empire). I have some silly tributaries (Ayutthaya, Kano, Jolof, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Antemoro, Morocco, Maldives, Ceylon, Iroqouis, Pima & New Spain) and glorious vassals Mexico & La Plata. The interesting stuff is the rest of the world - Persia, Yemen, Chagatai, Lithuania, Macina...

One crown is not enough for the ruler of the world.

Castile -> Spain -> Great Britain -> Italy -> France -> Prussia

Influence is better swapped for a mil idea group if you aren't doing a one-faith.

Castile -> Spain -> Great Britain -> Italy -> France -> Prussia

Trying to piece together the logic of this. I guess Castile/Spain to take out Portugal and the other colonizers easier, esp. with their early morale/discipline. Why GB? Italy for core cost. France/Prussia for Absolutism while retaining Italian ideas... but why GB?

I'd guess to remove lands from HRE and to add them back, to gain lots of IA.
