Switzerland, 1876.
4.1 beta no mods, only extended the game time limit.
Look at all those lovely borders.
Anyway, here's the real empire. Light brown being me, Dark brown being my vassals.
I didn't simply do the Holy Roman Empire decision that makes everyone vassals, or conquer a bunch of land and then release everyone as vassals. Everyone was directly vassalized through war. The whole game basically consisted of breaking blobs down into 1-4 province nations, and then vassalizing those.
It was fun all the way until the end though, in fact the only reason I stopped playing is because the game lags so heavily now, maybe due to the 70mb save file.

You win the ugly borders award
Byzantium -> Holy Roman Empire, December 1820 (full size picture here):
I modded the color of the HRE (because I had a hard time distinguishing between my Indonesian provinces and uncolonized Indonesian provinces), but other than that, it's unmodified HTTT beta.
I particularly like that all of my provinces in Africa, Europe, and Asia are land connected to each other, as are all of my provinces in North and South America (except for islands that can't possibly be connected, of course). From Portugal to Siberia, from Scandanavia to Cape and back up to the Congo. From Alaska and Hudson Bay to Patagonia.
Also, there is no Christian nation which is not Orthodox, and I have no Christian province which is not Orthodox. I have maybe a half dozen non-Christian provinces, all of which have active missionaries, but all my other provinces are Orthodox. And there are a handful of Reformed and Catholic provinces left in other nations, mostly on islands that the AI isn't competent enough to keep out of rebel hands, and hence which can't be converted.
Never overstepped the badboy limit. Didn't often come close. Most of the game was in the green.

Unfortunately only the province part as far as I can gauge. The tech levels, money, population, culture and the other good stuff is not ready yet.

It looks like at one point you inherited Austria, including Brittany and most of Italy, but then Naples, Austria, and a gray country in Brittany formed out of that. Did you release those as vassals?
I'd bet so. What I wonder is what happened to that Uber-Aragon. It seem like Castille inherited it...
1658.That giant purple blob is me, the Mughal Empire. I westernized pretty quickly and beat Spain like a red-headed step child and forced them out of Africa. Aside from that,I recently lost my Holy War CB against all Heathens, so further expansion is going to be difficult without CBs. It's even worse that, I am essentially the only remaining Shitte Islamic state in the world, without Oman/Yemen both being mostly Sunni.
Though, on a positive note, first game playing with Noble Republic/Administrative Republic form of government, and I was pleasantly pleased with the result.
The Papal States and Hungary both surprised me this game too.First Hungary ended up eating the Ottomans, ending up with land in Anatolia. After a war with me, where I basically blockaded the Bosporus and ran up WE, Hungary fell to pieces almost immediately, recreating the Ottomans, releasing a crapload of minor Balkan states too. Hungary seemed to be getting things back together after a while, when the Papal State showed up and conquered most of Greece (with the exception of the territory I took), reducing Hungary to a 2PM. They also held the Crimea for a time, before Venice took that from them.
France also didn't really become Le Blob this game, periodically becoming large and then falling to pieces. It looks like they managed to get most of the minor French States back under the bleu blob's banner, but I doubt I'll see them showing up in the Balkans any time soon.
Pegu also surprised me, ending up in control of most of SE Asia, and then my Mauritians showed up. I fought them in a long war, which was basically me playing whack-a-mole with Pegu stacks. This ran up their WE to full levels (Ming was also involved in this, and ended up releasing the Oirat Horde,the Mongol Khanate, and Shan from WE revolts), and they ran out of manpower. So, after the truce, they epically collapsed, producing a number of smaller succesor states that are busily beating up on each other. Ceylon even got involved in the mix in SE Asia until I bitched slapped them with the destruction of their entire 20 ship navy.

Cypriot Empire, end game.
Tough going at first, managed to get a few costal provinces to start with, and then chipped away at the local muslim states and the ottomans everytime Austria weighed into them. Gained a beach head in the UK and then Germany, manged to consolidate on that. Spain, Austria and France where a constant pain, as they where so much more stronger then me and turned hostile once i started getting bigger and bader. They where warning and guaranteeing most of my targets.
Was strong enough to hold my own against one of them at a time towards the end of the 18th Century, managed to give Spain a hiding due to them being way over stretched in the Near East, America, Italy, Africa and Spain. I manged to kick them out of Italy and Austria weighed into them also, which caused them to implode, this was towards end game so didn't see most of there revolted provinces change.
First Httt game, big improvement, more challenging. Not so easy to build up a legion of vassels to do of your chipping away work.

Wow. Poland conquered the ottomans. I love how in the GIF the Netherlands inherits Mega-Austria for a year, then releases Naples, Austria, and Normandy. Wow, Vicky 2 convert? That looks very accurate (not like the CK converters).
Nice. It looks that AI Austria should be posting his empire, too.Jakan said:

In the span of about 3 years, Austria inherited Sicily, then Castille inherited Aragon and finally Austria inherited Brittany. Then 3 kings later I (Netherlands) inherited Austria and released Normandy, Austria and Naples, which then formed Italy shortly after (I cancelled the vassalage after the min time).
I was really getting scared when Austria was inheriting left and right.
The European adventure in China started as a real partition of China, but then they managed to lose most again due to infighting and China getting stronger.
The one and the same. The problem is Unam Sanctum only gives CBs against Heretics, not Heathens. I'll have to wait until Gov level 30 to get an Absolute Monarchy, which, while I'll lose my awesome candidates, will get Imperialism CB.
