Why yes, yes it is Japan in south China. The game turned out kind of interesting, though I haven't played it in a while. Right around the time that I formed Scandinavia, Burgundy formed an enormous, continent-spanning Holy Roman Empire and Russia formed, taking a few chunks out of Georgia, alas. I wanted to showcase Georgia at it's zenith. I don't know if I want to continue because now it's just going to be several mega-empires slugging away at each other for the next several hundred years.

That just makes it more fun!!

Blobs! Blobs everywhere!

It's the year 1558 and I'm playing as Austria in this one, and am one decision away from forming the Holy Roman Empire. My original plan was to wait for the 1600s to do that but the formation of Great Britain in 1450 and Russia in the 1490s necessitated a hastening of my plans. I've won a couple of wars against Russia already, though they were mostly just to get the IA required to Revoke the Privilegia, but Britain is just becoming a monolith of doomstacks and foreign conquests. I've got into a couple of scraps with them and managed to do pretty awesome in one of them but every time I try to free Aragon or the likes they just wait a year or so so that my armies are back defending my provinces and march in to re-annex the place. Doesn't help that they managed to core most of Aragon's provinces before I had the power to attack places like Iberia. France/Burgundy were hold ups too but I've managed to effectively wipe them out and vassalise the eastern French minors.

It's just the first game I've played (especially as a HRE nation) where the blobs are actually overtaking me rather than lagging behind as I gobble up the HRE minors.

What REALLY happened to Prawnstar's Iroqouis

And mind, this is 1479.

Just after Castille was annexed by revolting Granada, and Cleves got a core on Gelre, whcih it had conquered 50 years earlier (1419). Then they take QFTNW as the first nation of all, and goes to america and conquers the iroquis.

Maybe I should change to them and play from there.

Yeah considering you have more than 3 times their troops, I don't think its a problem. Let them live so you can have a massive end game showdown. Also, make sure you keep Lithuania as a buffer so they are funnelled through one province.

Should I be concerned?

That's over 80 regirements in one province next to my border :)[/QUOTE]

I assume most of those HRE armies of yours are tied up elsewhere? Launch a pre-emptive attack, encircle those Russian forces near the border, and hope to take Moscow before winter kicks in or reinforcements from their eastern borders arrive. The warscore should get you a nice peace deal, if you do it fast enough.

Actually, they just annexed Lithuania and GH so now I have much wider border with them. It's currently year 1602 and i have 420,000 troops (most of them fighing against France and Castille) and they have around 200,000 so end game is going to be bloody.

This maps shows expansion of Russia:

I don't know if it's a bug but Hesse won't accept any peace offer even at 100 % war score
I had to drop their stability to -3 in order to get peace

eu314.png



I diplo-annexed the OPM in Oberlausitz and discovered that the AI had built a level 10 fort
On the building screen I clicked on "build level 6 fort" (just to see what it would do) and the fort level dropped to 5 during the construction
