8 years in, the rest of europe declare war rofl, thank god for defensive ideas and defender of the faith.
"The Purifiers" I'm guessing that's not one of the original army names
"The Purifiers": We purify in Blood-stained!
You ran out of manpower and money, so the major powers collectively decided this was the moment to take you out? Sounds reasonable to me.
I don't think he was claiming it was unreasonable, he was just showing us a highlight from his game...
ALL lucky nations? I don't see Portugal/Castile/Ottomans/England doing much there ^_^. Admittedly, picking on the lucky nations is fun:
In this case, England, Portugal, Castile, and the Ottomans hate me, the latter 3 very much (I've taken land off Portugal, sunk the Iberian fleets a few times, and tore up Ottomans really hard). I've been at war with Austria too but they're not too fussed yet.
Sevilla is just that rich, even Morocco can get a top notch income early on with trade ideas and the erasure of competing fleets. Only France has more income still, and it won't belong before Sevilla trade overtakes them, too, since I'm westernizing and can already field armies around that of Castile in size, so Iberian CoT are pretty close to reach.

I actually won the war. Turns out 30 mercenaries can fight off threehundred thousand ai troops if you get get them to eat baltic winter. 10 years later I crashed into bohemia for revenge and snapped up moldavia. Not the largest land grab, but satisfying.
As for running out of money and manpower, I actually didnt. The war with england (before this) started with 3 thousandish gold and full manpower, and took out about half my men thanks to them sinking my boats repeatedly. It was over an invasion of protestant sweden. Ran out of resources in the war with the western coalition of europe, then the kurs to the north jumped in with Russia.
By the way, was it just this game or does russia have paper troops. I realize the order has infanty and cavalry combat bonus, and I had defensive ideas/reformation ferver, but I went through them like a hot knife through butter.
