Post your Europa Universalis 4 Empire

[Blitzlord]

My Hungarian Empire. Not a world conquest but my best ironman yet, and my first time uploading.

Europe:
I am allied with France, Poland, Russia (formed by Novgorod, its a grand republic) and the Netherlands (formed by Brabant, it was much larger but Poland wrecked it).

Religion in Europe:

Asia:
Siberia is mostly uncolonized.

Americas:
Note: the little purple under French La Plata is Brittany.

Some other rare sights:
Animist Middle East. Mutapa was even a great power for quite some time.

Also, i myself became a grand republic (bureaucratic despotism) in the last 20 years by an event i didnt even know to exist, lol.

And the end score:

 

[Sousuke123]

First attempt and i guess it wen pretty well though not so huge like others Theodoro. I thought I'll get revolution was crushed achievement since France got Revolution but still no luck.

So Gothic

Nice! Smart to go Sunni. I'm assuming you allied yourself with Ottomans?

 

[Camtheman]

OH.

MY.

GOD.

Unioned Austria at start, got both Burgundian inhertiences, and now this.

FRANCE WILL RULE THE WORLD!

 

[Kazimierz IV]

I helped Poland and Lithuania eat the Ottomans, but mega-Scandinavia happened on its own.

I managed to keep my colonies all under 50% Liberty Desire until around 1795 when it got too overwhelming.

Spanish East Indies.

Castilian North Africa and Egypt.

I almost didn't get the Iberian Wedding because my king lived so damn long.

Proof of ironman and final score.

Yes and we are in love since 1470. Longest alliance I've ever had in game.

 

[Lord_P]

Yes and we are in love since 1470.

When's the wedding going to be?

 

[Sousuke123]

When's the wedding going to be?

Hopefully soon in Iberian style

Brandenburg -> Prussia -> Germany. Ironman 1.3, decided to have fun with my last pre-1.4 game.

 

[Ciccillo Rre]

This is TOTAL LUCK.

If it had happened in history, people would have expcted from this Trastamara Emperor to recreate the Roman Empire.

Since that'd be too easy for you, we expect a WC.

 

[Lokiki]

All belongs to the mother russia ;p
Ming vassal in early game makes a difference

Thats an impressive Großdeutschland! Bigger and better than what i usually can manage. But untouched netherlands? Where is your dominated end-tradenode?!

No true EU player ever wants to do the Dutch harm, they're a rare breed that must be protected (in game, anyway)

Yeah, I seriously couldn't do anything about the Dutch. Didn't want them as a vassal, it's all about full annexation . I was already ~230% overextended and I wasn't planning on releasing anything, so it would have broken my country.

 

[Mr. Pizza]

Decided to post another one of my empires, this was right after WoN released. Mamluks->Super Egypt. Always attack those pesky Turks on day #1.

I really wanted to make some snazzy looking borders. Super Russia made it difficult but I managed. Also built the Suez Canal.

Spoiler: Extras

End screen and Ironman proof

Bonus: AI SUPER PRUSSIA

 

[Sunspawn]

Nice Denmark-Norway as well.

 

[Chimerae]

@Mr. Pizza Nice to see an AI Prussia thrive! (Nice egypt as well )

 

[Marox]

Became emperor in 1456, got full inheritance, and went on to wipe Islam off the map.

This did happen IRL though, France got coalitioned and roflstomped

I decided to do a Dutch campaign to finish off 1.13. After a few false starts with Burgundy, Friesland and Utrecht, I actually had a really good start with HOLLAND. It turns out that if attitudes are right, you can get France, Austria and England to back your independence. I also dismantled the Empire after the war of the Protestant League; Burgundy had force-migrated their capital to Namur and been made an Elector, which I decided was bothersome. France and Austria stayed my friends until very late-game, when France decided they wanted the Spice Islands... which I had just spent the last hundred years monopolising. Their mistake, since by that time I had an even higher force-limit than they did.

On this run I got Sinaasappel, World Discoverer, All Your Trade Are Belong To Us, Aggressive Expander, Market Control, Trade Hegemon, Four For Trade, Even Better Than Piet Heyn, and Colonial Management (I used to not play Ironman )

Also, for my personal goals, I had 100% land control in The Malaccas, Molucca, Siam and the Philippines and all the African Trade Companies; complete control in all Dutch, Flemish & Walloonian provinces, and all of Colonial Canada & Brazil. I'll be honest, Iceland and Canada happened just for something to do while waiting for Indonesia-related truces to expire.

The Great Republic of Netherlands (Empire-rank Dutch Republics are awesome).

Spoiler: Lots of Pictures below the spoiler cut

Full Empire shot

Europe family photo. Even after I made France spit some of Spain back out they're a total monster.

ALL THE TRADE BONUSES

Ideas & Trade Companies

Trade at home - what you can't see is the Ivory Coast node feeding triple-digits back to the Channel. It's glorious.

Ironman Proof

Shuffling merchants around just for the achievement. Because I can.

And for a bonus, the first proper game I played in Common Sense: Cologne into Westphalia. Nowhere near as awesome, but I did become Emperor and have all my provinces at insane levels of development. Netherlands is a March with a little colony in IRL New England.
