I did get Novgorod early on, along with Pskov. Kholm I took from Muscovy. This is why Russia hasn't formed. Latvian culture actually spread to Pskov sometime in the 17th century; the year in that map is 1671.

Lithuania broke pretty early on, splitting off Ukraine and Polotsk which have been quiet for centuries. Poland resisted for a long while but eventually they got taken by Bohemia and me - I took Warsaw. Then Scandinavia inherited Bohemia out of nowhere; fortunately they're my allies, as are Austria.

I have the highest income and multiple monopolies, but the poor land in Europe gives me relatively pathetic force limits.

So... I decided I will try to form italy with Provence. :D

What I did was after a few reloads, is declare war on lieg Frence, and they stalled to take Anjou, while I took Dauphine, Lyonaise and Langedouc. Than England declared war on them. I took other territories (everything up to Blois as well as there other vassals) and managed to force peace with them as they were scared as shit, for those three provinces plus release Toulouse, lose core on Provence and end vassalazation of those two smaller sotuheast vassals. England than got 100% war score afterwards and released Normandy, made France lose quite a bit of cores (all in my territory to! :D) as well as cancel vassalization of Orleans, Auvergen and Bourbonais. (even those France managed to reconquer them afterwards)

My goal is to change my culture to Lombard and form Italy. :D

Also, could somebody give me a quick guide on how to change country culture? I've never done it before.

Get a majority of the desired culture in your country, make sure said culture is accepted, move your capital to a province of said culture, and then it should be a national decision to switch to that culture.

Change culture soon though when I moved my capital it conveniently and quickly changed the surrounding areas to Prussians.

Heh.. I like that.

Here's my current game as Ferrara, 1758. I've tried not to be too aggressive for once, but the AI nations have been all the more interesting.



Highlights:
- Irish colonies in Quebec, Panama and California
- Lithuanian(!!!) colonies in Madagascar, India and on Java. Yes, colonization distances are working properly, they just got involved in wars in India and started taking land there.
- Astrakhan is huge and awesome, and together with Lithuania and Sweden they have eradicated all the Russians.
- Algiers all the way from Dakar to Dar-es-Salaam
- The USA formed, and in the right place, too!

My Brandenburg -> Prussia -> Germany game. It started off pretty quick with lots of wars with Poland/Lithuania, Austria, Denmark, etc. They I kind of stalled when I ran up against Russia on the one side and France on the other, I eventually evicted France from Europe completely except for those islands south of Spain (that took a lot of wars). Then I carved up the Castilian and British homelands untill they both moved their capitols overseas to join the French.

Germany's color kind of blends in, but...

Venice is quite strong, so are the Mamelukes. The Ming died, got replaced by the Manchu, then reemerged as a world power again. I've never really had a problem with any of them though. The Mamelukes and Ming are too far to do much and the Venetians seem to be afraid to commit to a large war in Europe.

The Ming died, got replaced by the Manchu, then reemerged as a world power again.

That happened in my game as Prussia Ming was huge, as always, and suddenly no more Ming just Manchu the entire area is in their name. The funny thing is all of the provinces started to defect and break away. All of manchuria is defecting to Japan.

My question is how did they change to Manchu (who definitly did not exist before) what happened?

The Good Frenchmen, Is The Dead Frenchmen.

Following said philosophy, I raped their women, killed their man, pillaged their houses and conquered their lands. Observe 1417:

Castille declared war on me not once, but twice, and both times all my neighbors took the occasion to also declare on me. I taught them a lesson they will only forget when I finish them all.
