The Obligatory EUIV Strange Screenshot Thread

[Dominion]

Okay I found my old post. It was the transfer cb exploit.

Release or force-vassalize a nation your target would be domineering towards.
Take your vassal and hug it. Tell it how special it is. Slap your dynasty on its throne and check heir claim strength.

If it's medium or high, enjoy sitting around fiddling your thumbs. You need low.
Thankfully putting your ruler on their chair lowered legitimacy to 20. Once their ruler dies their heir is bound to have a weak claim.

If you get a weak claim from the start, rejoice! Now kick that bastard child out of your house.

Claim throne immediately. Wait until your enemy vassalizes your former vassal.

Entertain yourself by staring out the window and contemplating existence. Not yours, but rather the existence of existence. It's essential for the exploit to work, trust me, I exist.

Once your former vassal found a new overlord you can declare on him with claim throne cb. Overlord gets called in (obviously) and the cb gets transferred to him.

Congratulations! You can force union on your former vassal's overlord!

When you learn from the Habsburgs, everything stays within the family

Novgorod with the diplomatic power move - Ottos aren't even rivalling Muscovy. (Not that it helped - the Ottomans dishonored the defensive CtA in 1467 already)

Salé, capital province of Salé, has been raided by Salé.

This is something you won't see often. Spain deccing Karaman mayyybe, but Karaman deccing a Castile?
Note that I had absolutely no influence on the situation in Anatolia

And the end result of that war.

Need to see your Europe in detail, that seems juicy.

Hold my cannon, I'll just touch the walls.

 

[Blust]

This is a Shirvani Persia, allied with Mamluks for a while so Ottomans get regularly punched. I don't know where the fuck Boukhara come from though.

 

[Sfan]

Bukhara is not that uncommon. It's a formable from Uzbek who decided to sedentarize and become a regular Sunni state instead of a Horde. I'd say I see it 5-10% of the games.

Also Manchu. Also Andhra. Cool stuff cool stuff

Maybe. The war is against Denmark + Scotland. Denmark is GP#5 with 543 development (no subjects). I desperately want to see this Europe

In my "Mary of Lotharingia" Campaign I had an unusually looking North America.
Note: Besides France all the colonizers where untouched and did quite well but the big 4 natives band together and fend them off.

This happens because colonial nations go bankrupt all the time. It is a pretty sight nevertheless

Tunis going for the Sons of Carthage achievement.
