Totally should of taken screen shots of that Bohemia-Moravia game I'd done a while back. That would go great with that France game to send EU3 players into a coma.

What you did to the UK is just cruel.

You should have also taken the 13 colonies and shown the Brits how to properly govern!

I think the Brits should be glad they didn't do as the Romans did at Carthage

I finished my Greece -> Byzantine Empire campaign recently, and thought I would share the end result with you guys. Greece started out as a somewhat poor nation, but under my noble and wise leadership I put Greece once again atop of the world. I decided early on that the Ottomans must suffer for the oppression of the Greek people, so after around a dozen wars the last Ottoman state finally fell in the early 1900s. It wasn’t cheap though, as I’ve been constantly burning off infamy, and I couldn’t therefore take the infamy for some of the juicy regions in Asia. I formed the Byzantine Empire reasonable early, and got a place among the great powers around 1870s I believe. Yugoslavia and Romania have been my faithful spherelings ever since they was formed.
v2_2-adjusted.jpg


Notice the nice land bridge to Africa, they say that every road in the Byzantine Empire leads to Rome. In this case Railroads, and they lead rather to Constantinople than Rome.

V2_MAP_BYZ_19351231_1-adjusted.jpg


In case you are wondering what happened to the former nr. 1 nation, the United Kingdom. After losing WWII badly, the UK lost Ireland, Australia and Canada to rebels. And all of British India is occupied by rebels. Oh, how the mighty have rightfully fallen.

V2_1-adjusted.jpg


In the end, the Roman Empire "rules" the world again. As it always should. (That Italy exist doesn’t matter, as they live by my whip of the ERE)
Industry wise, I couldn't beat the industrial powerhouses of Germany and USA; but they all fear the Romans Legions. Vivat Imperium Romanum!

Edit: The pictures became a lower quality then I wanted, does anybody know a better free image upload site they recommend?

Byzantine Empire has been in the vanilla game for a while, AHD I belive. Formed it once way back, on my list to play in HoD.

Yeah, I'm playing vanilla HOD. :)

Greece must of course be a great power. You need to own all the provinces you have cores on (except Cyprus, I believe), including those provinces you gain cores on through the Megali Idea decision (Thrace, Aydin and Hudavendigar). Additionally you must own the provinces in the Konya states, which I believe is the only one you don't have cores on until you enact the Byzantine decision.

The form Byzantine Empire decision gives you free cores on all Turkish majority provinces, so I recommend to get as many of those as you can before you enact the decision.

If it give me free cores. Why would I wait enact the decision? It would allow me to go to war to get my cores back.

I should've perhaps been a bit more clear on the matter: It only gives you cores on the provinces you already own, so that's why you should wait. ;)

Ah! Thanks man! :)
