My Byzantium game for the Mare Nostrum achievement. Decided to push the Northern border to the Elbe rather than the Rhine, as thats what Augustus wanted, and the Carpathians, to look pretty. Denmark, Mecklenburg, Pomerania, Silesia, Kiev, Great Horde, and Astrakhan are my marches.

I left it the one province as I didn't want to have an ugly pointy border with the desert, I think the border I have looks more natural. Same with Tunis. But you're right, I'd rather no-one was there!
Please, kill them. They are like 3 dev

Finally got around to trying out the Aztecs. Surprisingly fun!
The plan is to make the entirety of the Americas Aztec culture, no Westerners allowed :D
Would you consider Expansion Ideas in this case, since I won't be able to spawn colonial nations?

After 764 hours on the clock I finally played until 1821. What a relief, sieging all those lvl 8 forts was killing me...

I started as Afghanistan and formed the Mughals around 1550. During the whole game I must have lost at least 5 wars against my Indian neighbors, which were almost always allied with Transoxiania and the Ottomans. By the way, Ottoman expansion and army size was absolutely insane.

My empire + ideas:

Wanted to do an old one and a new one. Hilarious runs. Both of them.


BWU782J.jpg


First time I ever triggered court and country.
I deeply despise the desaster.

6XF2GOc.jpg


Cute little Saxony. Interesting evolution actually.
Started with the PU over Bohemia (promise Poland land, break promise), took a chunk out of Hungary, got scared because Ottos went supersonic speed and fought them 2 times for barely anything and once for a white peace.

Force vassalized the rest from Hungary, fed them a crapton in the fourth war and from then on it was smooth sailing.
Picked up 4 PUs. Russia by force, Sweden by force, Denmark by force (they broke off though. stupid disaster) and Lithuania for free.
Gujarat and Indochina are vassals.

Straight line into China and whenever I was bored I ate a bit north or south. Got emperor without going for it, pushed reforms for vassal swarm and ended the run with revoking.

XnYHLmB.jpg


This one... was a beast.
Opening > easy
Continuation > easy
Getting an alliance with Ottomans > panic mode

Think I lost two wars against them before I got the alliance. Maybe only one. Either way, after I got the alliance I just declared war south, promising them land, tentacled my way in solowars, used favors from southern war to declare war against Hungary with Ottos.

> repeat until Hungary is eaten.
Even got a little surprised towards the end because I got Hungary before getting Empire rank. Expanded randomly and pumped MP to develop. I'm here for the achievement.

Finally finished my First WC. Sadly i messed up with killing the colonizer, especially spain, who i annexed as last nation in the world, so, one faith won't be possible anymore.
I don't now, if i can still one-tag though. Last clientstate has -200 from annexed subjects. With maxed Realtions he is only +150, too far waway for he necessary 190. Maybe it will dropp fast enough to annex him before Time is up, but i don't know, if it is worth the effort.View attachment 326004 View attachment 326005

In that scenario truces are just pieces of paper.

Would you consider Expansion Ideas in this case, since I won't be able to spawn colonial nations?

Only if you feel like playing badly on purpose :p. If you don't want to go admin for coring, just run something like humanist/innovative and burst-tech with neighbor bonus. Ticking -WE will help you later anyway since you can't get DotF and going rev as a new world nation would suck. You can pick up religious late for the massed culture switch post-enlightenment embrace. Culture converting the whole world after that is tough, but the whole new world not so much.

Economic is also much better than 4th colonist and all of religious/economic/innovative have better policies. Expansion is trash. Innovative is particularly nice here for stacking the -25% adviser cost with estate adviser + maybe a policy and promoting for a ton of monarch points to get out of the tech hole faster. As is typically the case in the agency-less new world your tech picture in 1573 is absolutely miserable and that would help significantly.

Here is my newest game for Bohemia. No I didn´t managed to get elected. But with alliance with Austria and with luck represented by Poland not PU Lithuania. I managed to not only expand nicely into HRE but into poland and also into Hungary (because Austria decided to totaly ignore Hungary :D. Amazing game so far I must say :).
PS: And yes I know that I have internal conflicts and Peasant war incoming. That is because my rullers died almost for a year after one another. No really I had one 35 or so years old ruller. He died. His 18 years old son ascended to throne and next month he died too.......

Well the campaign is progressing quite interestingly. Once I got Mil Tech 15 Europeans finally backed off.
eu4_32.png

As you can see, I am steadily colonizing in both directions, and now I have nations to munch on, yum! I am slighly worried about having no one to RM since I am still a Pagan(who doesn't want to give a heart to big Q :D), but overall the campaign is progressing steadily.

As for Culture, everything is Aztec/Nahuatl. That will change once I start conquering, probably Pueblo first.

As for Ideas(for some reason I didn't screenshot it :D )
Exploration 7
Expansion 3
Defensive 3
Trade 0(I am still considering what group to go for, none seem tempting yet. Maybe I can take Religious so I have it completed in time?)

I will convert cultures once I get the Enlightenment, because with Religious it cuts conversion cost by half!

Now I have a couple of questions to ask you lot
1. Should I move my main trade city to Panama? Given how moving there lets me Transfer Trade Power from the Phillipines, but lets the Europeans screw me over by transfering trade to the Caribbean, I am conflicted.

2. Should I attack the CNs now or wait for them to expand a bit more so I can take more provinces faster?

3. I don't know what ideas to pick. Trade I chose because it looks tempting to make so much money from trade. Didn't invest into them tho so I am free to change if needed. Only certainty is Religious, and maybe Innovative and Quality(I will need some buffs to ships to attack the Islands and none of the Naval ideas seem tempting enough(plus it makes your land troops that much stronger, especially the Policy. I LOVE IT!). Diplo may be a possibility just for the -20% Warscore cost.

4. Should I colonize in Asia for the Trade companies? I need 3 to complete the mission for this age, and I want some of them perks, especially Absolutism.

@TheMeInTeam Innovative I am in love with. As for Humanist, only perk I see to them is the Years of Separatism since I can't culture convert a province with it. I am not going for WC, but to have a single culture in the Americas, so most of the bonuses seem pointless.
I already get -0.10 WE because Aztec ideas and Nahuatl Reform, blockades do nothing to me! :D
I only took the first 3 ideas in Expansion, the rest are too meh to consider. I will dump the group once there isn't much to colonize. The 1200 Diplo will pay off by the time I dump it.
Most of the Americas is low dev and I am not doing a WC so I see Admin as not worth it.

Now for two interesting screeshots!
Tapuia stronk!
eu4_33.png


CONTEST TIME! Who most closely guesses what is happening in Europe by the time I get a clear look at it gets a special prize from me! As you can see it looks QUITE interesting
eu4_34.png

I have a big test in 4 days so don't expect a lot of progression until it passes, priorities gents!

It was a really painful run. I thought: I will conquer Ottos first then turn my eyes on PLC and Austria. Then 10 years into the game Poland lost PU and both countries exploded. Everyone was rivaling and i had to battle Russia-Austria alliance for the to last two provinces

My Ideas Guy run. This is the first time I've really tried the 'Zanzibar as end node' strategy, and it was ludicrous just how much money I was making with just East Africa, Indonesia and about half of India. I managed it with a distinctly unoptimal build, I didn't have any real economic ideas in my set, and picked Norse of all things as my religion.

I started in Roggeveld with dev efficiency and colonists as my traditions, and immediately colonised Cape while using my 6/6/6 ruler to buff up my starting province to fund it. After spreading through South Africa and setting up a colonial nation in Brazil to get the institution, I basically just went straight for the gold of Zimbabwe and then Indonesia. After securing Malacca I stared moving on Aden and India, and that was enough.
