Strange Screenshots

Note the year and culture of the province, then who still has a core on it. I'm confused.

Is that Pskov next to you? How did that happen?

The Golden Horde slapped everyone around except for myself, but I had no interest in their land. Eventually Pskov revolted (Russian Nationalists) during a succession crisis.

Has anyone get a screenshot of an African country becoming the Papal Controller, because it won't be strange for much longer! See here and scroll down to Peter Turkson.

Napoleone Buonaparte or Bounaparte if I remember correctly

If Alan Schom's biography of Napoleon is to be correct, then I believe as a Corsican, Napoleon's name was actually Nabulio Buonaparte. I could definitely be wrong, or have misunderstood the biography, though.

Iwanow, do you have to comment that maps are 'ugly' all the time? Seriously, who has a choice about that unless you're going to WC or painstakingly try to paint it a certain way? The AI just does its thing and the result is usually if not always splotchy and incoherent.

I mean your country, AI is normal.

The pope hates me, I've enacted Restraint of Appeals and shut down the monasteries - and he'd still do what I want?

His name was Napoleone di Buonaparte, which he changed only once (to Napoléon Bonaparte). However, in the local Corsican dialect, it was pronounced approximately Nabullione.

Me at the beginning of this game: I'll just do a nice hands-off with no lucky nations and I'll convert it into Vicky 2 and have a few laughs, maybe make an AAR.
Me now: Oh God, WHYYYYYYYYY!?

Spoiler

that's a succesful Netherlands, Venice, and Naples, France is eaten by savoy and Luxembourg, Great Britain lost North America to Ireland, and SUPER GEORGIA (off screen)
Also Brazil is in Africa. AS ALWAYS. Lots and LOTS of other things. FIND THEM ALL!

 

[Stefanos_P]

Kill it, with fire...

Seriously thou, I find amusing that Castille pretty much stood in a status quo sort of speak, as usual they went into northern Africa, but somehow didn't dominate Iberia, didn't took a bigger chunk out of France, and also it didn't colonize (?)

 

[yequr]

Is that green thing .... Luxemburg?

 

[AndreasPhokas]

My eyes they burn aaaaaaaaaaaaah

Atleast its cool seeing savoy, moldova and luxembourg(?) being big! Not to mention ireland

 

[yequr]

Does that Portuguese special discovery mission include discovering what these provinces produce... or do I just need to clear my map cache?

France obviously is winning but surrenders

Aquileia in uncored, Austrian Görz while Friuli is Pisa. Neither of them lasted very long.

These guys are drunk, Taungu is over there...

Almost no more of that blood red, only calm colors... Never seen the Timurids collapse so neatly, and this early...

Um, what? He is the starting heir, so maybe he actually was the worst diplomat in history? Or just a joke because nobody is ever going to play that country anyway? Even with ADM 8, I'm not looking forward to his reign...

In fact, 10 years later, he is on my throne, I have 23 infamy and it's sinking by .1 a year. And my mission is to integrate a vassal. Fun! A diplomat? I'm too poor, even hiring one would probably cost 2 inflation. At least he is in his 50s and a general...

History

See also: Shan States and Shan people
Shan State is the unitary successor state to the Burmese Shan States, the princely states that were under some degree of control of the Irrawaddy valley-based Burmese kingdoms. (Historical Tai-Shan states extended well beyond the Burmese Shan States, ranging from full-fledged kingdoms of Assam in the northwest to Lan Xang in the east, to Lanna and Ayutthaya in the southeast, as well as several petty princely states in between, covering present-day northern Chin State, northern Sagaing Division, Kachin State, Kayah State in Myanmar as well as Laos, Thailand and the southwestern part of Yunnan, China. The definition of Burmese Shan States does not include the Ava Kingdom and the Hanthawaddy Kingdom of the 13th to 16th centuries, although the founders of these kingdoms were Burmanized Shans and Monized Shans, respectively.)
[edit]Early history
The first founding of Shan states inside the present-day boundaries of Burma began during the period of Pagan Kingdom in the Shan Hills and accelerated after 1287, when the Pagan Kingdom fell to the Mongols. The Shans, who came South with the Mongols, stayed and quickly came to dominate much of northern to eastern arc of Burma—from northwestern Sagaing Division to Kachin Hills to the present-day Shan Hills. The most powerful Shan states were Mong Yang (Mohnyin) and Mong Kawng (Mogaung) in present-day Kachin State, followed by Hsenwi (Theinni), Hsipaw (Thibaw) and Mong Mit (Momeik) in present-day northern Shan State.[4] Smaller Shan states, such as Kale in northwestern Sagaing Division, Bhamo in Kachin State, Yawnghwe (Nyaungshwe) and Kengtung (Kyaingtong) in Shan State, and Mong Pai (Mobye) in Kayah State, played a precarious game of paying allegiance to more powerful states, sometimes simultaneously. The newly founded Shan States were multi-ethnic states, which included many other ethnic minorities as the Chin, the Kachin, the Wa, the Ta'ang, the Kayah, etc. Although Burmanized Shans founded the Ava Kingdom that ruled central Burma, other Shan states, Mohnyin in particular, constantly raided Ava territories throughout the years. A Mohnyin-led Confederation of Shan States finally conquered Ava in 1527.

This only shows us how unrepresented is this part of asia... is should have at least as many provinces as india...

Also, pagan province is a joke because actualy there was empire called pagan empire, that was as pagan as hindu religion is pagan...

Just my current Byzantium game. Check out Scandinavia and France. Yes, that's Morocco up there, and they are currently taking over Sweden. I had nothing to do with that, or France getting destroyed. And Aragon just collapsed so they arn't doing as hot as they look either. Austria can't figure out how to write it's own name, while Prussia until recently had decided to go East instead of bothering with Germany. And it was ALL cores that they grabbed, no idea how they got so many over there. Muscowy and Novgorod have moved around, with Novgorod changing to a Kingdom, then back to a Noble Republic (and they were never wiped out that I saw, I have no idea what's going on up there). And then, there's mighty Thuringia cutting a swathe through central Germany. Oh, and Brunswick owns Lubeck somehow, but the rest of their lands are owned by Thuringia. I don't even know, this game is weird...

If Castille doesn't take over the Northern African states, I've seen them take over Sweden quite a few times. Algiers seems to like to take Southern Sweden with great Gusto.

Those poor guys are probably just tired of the heat

 

[Tuskin38]

Look at those nations in Australia, you don't want to see Central America.

 

[Stefanos_P]

Was that a hands-off game?

Or did you actually played a full campaign as Hawaii?

 

[Tuskin38]

it was hands off, I just let it run in the background all day, checking on it every hour or so.
