The Obligatory EUIV Strange Screenshot Thread

[Plategoron]

Woah there.

There's no way a Vanilla AI could have ever done that

Woah there.

Nope, that's clearly either player or console created. Unless you've got concrete proof it actually happened. Considering Qing fails to conquer all of China in a normal game, and an AI European superpower would struggle to conquer land like that in Asia, I very much doubt it was done without human intervention.

Its 1766 and Spain is in Philippines.

I'm guessing a later start date, since Japan is also united.

Tibet going strong after they decided to ditch the Llamas.

As much as I like muslim Tibet, this is no way strong country and again I see an example of 'Visually Big Country' Fallacy on these forums

All those provinces are complete crap with 1-3 base tax and brilliant trade goods like wool, plus they are big and there are not so many of them. One province in Tibetan Plateau is so huge it includes probably like 30% of this empire ;p

If you check this thread (search by member name), you'll find that this particular poster mods his games and posts his modded screenshots, then gets disappointed when people aren't impressed with the doctored photos.

Riiight... the hate here...

Sometimes I DO exagerate, granted. I cannot resist. But I surely do not ALWAYS do it....

Naturally, but I usually see Tibet getting chomped down by whichever other big power is next to it. Of course it probably helped that Ming totally imploded before I even got to Asia.

And in this case you DID exaggerate, A LOT.
What's actually your point? You mod the game to achieve crazy worlds and then can't resist posting them on the forum as if they were super extraordinary or what?

That's a good point.
Honestly, I was trolling a bit. Well, okay, a lot. I was cruelly exploiting the naiveness of the people there. Still, in some particular cases, not always. How would you explain some of the other images I posted before? Some of them were really weird, and some of them were just fakes. It was obvious sometimes. Sometimes, it was less.

Anyway, what's your point on all those hates? If you don't want me to post such fakes anymore (which I assume you don't, seeing the current situation), then I'll only post real ones. You all seem a bit butthurt though. Because of some images? Seriously?

Playing a Portugal game while waiting for CS, I've reached 1516 and it took like a decade before I realised that this wasn't the Austrian Netherlands, but in fact the Savoyard Netherlands:

France was very much in trouble before the Burgundian inheritance kicked in. Burgundy was a massive blob covering all of Eastern France.

Is this Japan game with AI bonuses on? I did that a few times and Ming always goes nuts with conquest and never implodes

Did the Cherokee convert to Catholicism in that campaign?

To be fair the first post of this thread is modded.

If they don't implode they can get a bit scary. If they westernize after not imploding they can be really scary. They're not impossible to beat, but if you don't have all your ducks in a row, they can really send the numbers at you.

I will have to post a Photo of my attempted Spain WC which I gave up on, Ming did exactly this, Blobbed Massively, Westernized and has not broken, it is quite scary. I had to fight them to finish off Japan for my rising sun achievment, I just zerged them with Heavies XD

ohhh lookie what I found on my Imgur

This was taken a few years before hand, but still impressive they are only larger now, I think about 250k Forcelimit, and western and equal on military tech

One of those moments where you're like "Why did they have to pick THIS game to go big?"

I feel your pain!
