Post Your (HttT) Empire

[unmerged(32689)]

when they move their capital or if i get core on it i can force them out of Europe, but that just didn't happen.

I embarked on a goal to restore the Roman Empire. The first collosus to fall was Naples, then Austria with a little help from friend Hungary and that got me 3 gold producing provinces in Tirol, Lienz and Koroška+Kranjska and Gorica . Shortly after the war Castille and France clashed. They fought a little but just enough that France's doomstack of ~20/30 was reduced to 10000 men which got wiped out by my trusty general Gonzaga. Due to Excommunication cassus belli all peace costs were very low. I took southern France and made them release Burgundy, Lorainne and some other minors that France gobbled up in 50 years(they were at their present day borders!, except for nice and savoie. After the peace I supported rebels and they made Normandy and orleans. Another excommunication war later they deleted all of their lost cores and cedded Ill-de-France to me. Next war was agains Hungary becouse I got some cores on Štajerska, Croatia and Slavonia. Another war with Austria followed soon after with them renouncing all their cores. For some 10 years I waited for BB to cool down and in the meantime got a core event on Navarra. I prepared for war with Touluse being the deathtrap with my genious general Gonzaga leading the 15 cavalry group stack. All the spaniard armada of 50000 men were step by step butchered by my Gonzaga cavalry stack, other 5×10000 infantry just watched and made sure that the cattle made its way to Touluse. After the annihilation, all infantry stacks were splitted in 1000 men stack to lay siege to Castille. In a month all of their provinces together with her ally Portugal were under siege and a year lather the last province fell. I just had to mop up Flanders who was also their ally. i made them release some OPMs with giving me provinces Valencia, Granada, Seville, and another one above Gibraltar. Seville has already colonized Delaware, Canaries, Madeira and the Azores, therefore my objective is to cut off Castille frome the sea by taking all of their mainland ports. The only other with the Quest for the new world is portugal which is covered with revolts.

The only power which could be a match for me is the ottomans and they will soon be when I get the cores on southern Italy. The other one is Brandenburg, who grew quite a lot by gobbling Bohemia and attacking already weakened Austria. Other powerful nations are Sweden, who had a lot of BB problems, Novgorod is rising after the rape of Lithuania by TO and Branderburg, the Mameluks are twiching a little but I suspect that they would fall after the first attack.

The pink country in GB is Cornwall, battling for the control of the british isles with leinster

An update on my Vijayanagar game. It's now 1504 and I've just westernised to the Muslim tech group and gotten a look at Europe. Unusually, Spain has formed (first time I've seen it in HTTT, Aragon usually survives) and Karaman is actually becoming a major rival to the Ottomans. France isn't doing badly and Muscowy is becoming a worrying blob.

I've taken Dehli and Bihar (with a convienient mission giving me a core on their COT) and annexed Orissa so Ming is really the only local threat I have left. I intend to push through Persia (a core and mission on them) and get a border with the Ottomans so I can eastern-group westernise. I'm not sure how I'll get a border with a western country yet though. Maybe I'll take QFTNW and go after the Africans if Spain/Portugal don't finish them off first.

Sweden! Sweden! Sweden!

Austria-Hungary in 1651, one of my first games which explains why progress has been so slow. I plan on uniting Germany once my regency council has ended. I have a PU with Sweden and Holland and am making over 1200 ducats. This is with the WWM.

Did you change the colour of Portugal, or did someone replace them?

Algarve

 

[henryjai]

after unifying China in 1660s, the Manchus are pretty much unstoppable at this moment

one victory against the Russians.

As Xwarq said it's Algarve. Castille took over potugal save Lisboa and Algarve rebelled and eventually took over all of Portugal. Portugal still exists with a single province just below Aragon and a few colonies in the New World.

My Naples -> Italy game at the prime of my empire (around 1575).

Occupied nearly the complete Italian peninsula, but couldn't get a completed because the massive Austrian army.

I gave it a try when still allied with Poland (the massive blob above austria). but I only ganed a few provinces.

I gave it a try later (early 1600s) with my new alles Bohemia and Montenegro + 5 rebellions caused by my spies but I was annihalated, kept most of my territories but was down from 75.000 to an army of 10.000) after that rebellions and DOW destoyed my empire (lost my colonies to Portugal); North Africa to Fez/Argiers/Portugal; Corsica; Ballears; ;.. revolted and became independent.

After that I called it quits.

*And this was on easy :s (but I learned so much during this game!)

**Castille was annexed after 100 years of war by an reemrged Navarra :rofl:
***Superblob Poland

First time I went over 75 years with a campaign (got the game less then a week ago (complete + httt)

well to crush ann empire in one go is to completely destroy their armies, occupy all their territories and instead of demanding provinces just make them release all of the oppresed nations. And then incite revolts with spies. Maybe take some rich provinces

How do you all make the giant world view maps to post your empires?

How do you all make the giant world view maps to post your empires?

 

[unmerged(79411)]

something like F11 or F12 and then for empire+vassals Shift+F12 (or f11).
don`t know i just smash the buttons and after it ive got what i want.

 

[OrangeYoshi]

F12 for a full world map, Shift+F12 for your nation and your vassals.

First I decided to do England > Great Britain. It seemed like until that point, every blob I killed had two more pop up in it's place, and in some cases, they were the ruins of the last one.

1563:

But, before I attacked Norway(Heredity HRE) to have a "Northern Empire" worthy of legend, I got bored, and hopped down to the second place nation, Aragon! KING OF KINGS!

Of course, because the AI is failure, my Northern Empire imploded three times in a row, allowing me to take Iberia.

1639:

Oh, and there's Mega-Orleans. In fear of New France, I've guaranteed Brittany and I shall fight tooth and nail for it, lest the BBB reappear and terrorize mah new nation. D:

My Epirus in 1480:

the OE had been reduced to an three province minor (after i took half of their empire nationalist rebellions took even more province-two nations successfully rebelled).
