Could that be AI Japan?
I have to say that the more I read this AAR the less I'm impressed with the AI. -3 stability, zero manpower and a pointless war might be tolerable once in a while, but as a policy it ... lacks.
So you're stuck in a staring match with one of the Big Red Blobs and wondering whether you'll ever get a turn where you can do more than recover from the AI's mismanagement, and then Lithuania inherits Muscovy and the TO gets DOWed by Ming, who march 100,000 men through the TI to former Novgorod. (Pessimist? Me?)
Either that or Sicily inherits Aragon and Portugal collapses, causing most of Brazil to defect to the TO. (You should be so lucky)

Well, since the TO round isn't done yet, I'm guessing that THEY inherit Lithuania... :wacko:
You started another 'Three Countries One Goal'! <Squeal of delight>
And I have 27 pages to plow through to get to the current situation! <Groan of dismay>
Let's hope my daughter learns to sleep twelve hours at night, so that I'll have enough time to catch up. This should prove to be... interesting.

Wow, Japan's turn was impressive! That's Storey for you... Don't put your foot on the man's toe, even if you're a big fat heap of provinces!
A cliffhanger? How surprising...
A cliffhanger? How surprising...
Avarri - Thank you for delurking and posting. A few years ago I felt the same urge while reading an AAR by Ariel and the rest is history. Well yes my dirty laundry does involve Burgundy but how we will have to wait and see.
Germanpeon - I promise to keep my cliffhangers to a minimum. Of course I do lie a lot so I don’t know if I’d bet on me keeping that promise but who knows it might happen. Oh and don’t get me started on the “truth” or I’ll have to bring up Dr. Anderson who was my philosophy professor in college and who would expound at length at the drop of a hat, or a mug of beer at the local college hangout, on the ins and outs of truth and how it really didn’t exist.
Insanity Boy - Oh you can say that again. I can deal with the manpower problem but -3 stability is in EU3 a major problem especially with the Teutonic Order.
Ahura Mazda - I’ve only played to 1676 with the TO so I don’t know how they are going to do with. . . Oh I can’t say right now but you will see that they have an excellent opportunity coming up.
Chief Ragusa - Good guess but wrong. I agree the AI must attack without a CB for it’s stability to be this low with all three countries. Why they just don’t fabricate a claim is unknown. I agree it does appear that the AI doesn’t hire mercenaries until it’s manpower is limited. The AI as least as I’ve seen takes either more than one province before demanding peace or if it wins enough battles it will demand peace. If you turn it down then it hesitates before launching another attack. If it is successful in capturing another province then be ready for it to continue to attack and the demands for peace can become painful.
I plan to drop Gotland off the nearest cliff before they get me involved in a war with Denmark or Sweden.
Murmurandus - Hey a louzy war and a cliffhanger is better than a louzy cliffhanger and a war isn’t it?
Fulcrumvale - My guess is that as long as it can hire mercenaries it doesn’t have to worry about it’s manpower pool.
RedBaron1918 - Fortunately no. Japan for at least a few years is minding it’s own business. I plan on jumping back to check up on them and I do so in 1676.
Ahura Mazda - I have enough problem on my hands without that happening.
Merrick - EU3 is harder playing this way than EU2. In EU2 I didn’t worry about stability but in Eu3 you have to pay attention to it. I agree this policy does “lack”.
All your guessing are possible but none are probable.
Montague - If they don’t inherit Lithuania it won’t be for lack of trying. I’ve been sending 37.5 ducats a shot as gifts to improve our relations but my monarch is the pits and I’m just barely making any progress toward improving our relations. I admit it didn’t help when I hit the wrong tab in an event window and dropped from -60 to -100 in our relations.
Stuyvesant - Welcome back and if I haven’t already told you congratulations of your recent addition to your family. It’s an American tradition to hope that your little girl gets her good looks from her mother and not from you.
Nil-The-Frog - I’m keeping my cliffhangers under control but it takes great willpower and lots of drugs.

So now that I have your attention what was this earth shaking event that changed the world or at least caused a hiccup that wobbled the earth on its axis? Well I managed to get a white peace from Burgundy. Now does that kick start the adrenalin and pour white lightening in your veins? Hey don’t look at me like that, I warned you earlier in the AAR that I lie. So you think a cliffhanger is above lying about? Boy are you guys easy. Look what can I say, it’s a family survival characteristic. I learned at a precocious age to lie to my grandmother. Let me tell you she was one tough old bird but don’t get me wrong she was a dear lady who had a ready smile, a giddy laugh and a heavy iron hand that was ready to apply discipline to whichever grandchild needed it.
She was a farm girl born and raised in Missouri. She had eleven kids, the first ten were girls and the last a boy. We made jokes about granddad not willing to stop plowing the farm until he got a son but we didn’t tell that joke with grandmother around. We valued our lives. She was also the worlds worst cook. I mean for her meat was cooked properly when you could either chew on it for a day or two or tie it to the soles of your feet and walk 20 miles without getting a blister. That’s why I had to learn how to tell a lie and say how good it tasted and be convincing about it. Sad thing is my mother took after her. But that’s another story and where was I?
Oh right, within days of getting that magnificent white peace the second shoe dropped and the earth shook. Sibir declared war on the TO. All right now calm down and stop yelling. What you’re still not impressed? That didn’t start the heart a-pounding and cause your vison to waver from the sweat dripping off your forehead as you realized the full implications of what just happened? Man you guys are a hard crowd to please. Well to be fair how could you appreciate the situation since I didn’t give you all of the facts. Kind of like an Agatha Christie Mystery isn’t it?
The (drum roll) Timurid are allies with Sibir and they joined the war. Yea finally I get a possible crack at the Bastards that control the goal province. Of course there is the little problem that I can’t see all the provinces in that part of the world.
.
In EU2 if at war you could attack into Terra Incognita if it was part of the country you were at war with but I’ve heard that you can’t in EU3 so this might be a little stumbling block to my plans. Now wouldn’t you think that with the game mechanics of EU3 where every two-bit hole in the wall country, land locked and hopelessly pigeon toed who at the drop of a hat selects QFTNW would mean that the odds were with me in that at least one of my three countries would select it for a National Idea? Not a chance and with the AI constantly regulating my stability to the lowest level of the thirteen circles of hell I won’t be able to change a national idea before the next ice age. So I have my work cut out for me but hey it could be worst.
Well it is worst as I have to march my entire army clear across half the world to get to the battle ground.
.
And march a bit farther.
I took these pictures earlier in this turn and my regiments weren’t even that far East when the war starts but it gives you a good idea just how far they had to march to get to the new battle front.. It took a few months to move enough men East to be able to defend my Eastern most provinces. But hey it could be worst. Well I did have to stagger my armies to be sure to reduce my attrition as much as I could and I had to watch as Sibir grabbed one colony and besieged a province before I’d even began to make headway in my epic march to war but it could be worst. Oh did I mention that Timurid sent help and that when I finally managed to get an eight thousand man army into position and felt confident that my tech advantage would save the day I got my butt kicked and fled with my tail between my legs? But it could be worst like when I noticed that I was being attacked by the Timurid in South Africa and South America and St. Helens and Dominica? But it could be worst like when I moved my main fleet to port to recover from the war with Burgundy and then noticed this,
Who are these guys anyway?
It was about that time that I realized that there were two problems that would shake my world with the force of a 8.2 earthquake and that this would be the perfect cliffhanger to end this post with but I’m getting soft in my old age and I’ll continue.
The first is that I hope and pray on bended knees that Paradox will look at the problem that the AI has with moving regiments by sea. I was attacked by single regiments and only single regiments throughout my over seas empire. If the AI could manage to attack by sea with 4 of 5 regiments it would force me to react and make my game experience a living hell, which is good. As it is I was able to repel the attacks because I had 1 to 2 regiments in my colonies/cities.
The second problem is never to underestimate the power of the AI attrition at sea. These guys are studs when it comes to sailing. Who would think that they would manage to sail to the Baltic and blockade my entire coast?
Okay so I went head hunting that sank anything and everything that was afloat.
Meanwhile back at the ranch. (Old cowboy saying)
In 1674 Burgundy asks for military access and I figure why not and give it to them.
In 1675 Fez declares war on Sicily. Then later Burgundy joins an alliance with Sicily.
In 1676 Tunisia declares war against Sicily.
STOP!
Okay everyone who told me that I should clean out North Africa was right. If, when it’s Sicily’s turn, I’m still at war with anyone in North Africa I will wipe the floor with their bloody noses. But hey there is still seven years before I take over Sicily right? This war can’t last that long can it?

Whose navies are those? I'm not familiar with all the flags yet.
They should be alien invaders of some sort.

That would be the Timurid Navy, the AI doesn't suffer attrition at sea so it's very easy for a nation in the Iran area to sail to the baltic.
I seem to member one bright commentatAAR predicting a Sibir attack -so one gold star to him or her.
Now your 56 strong navy is in Danzig, those Timurid ships will soon be plying their trade for you or the ocean's floor. The Timurids must have soon good leaders who have learnt of the plans various nations have to carve them asunder to take a single solitary province. The fact you can't see all of their countries and have no means to removes any need for the ai to offer peace, even white, unless you can take some of their provinces. That might be difficult. Both your enemies have done lots of fighting and must have quite a few really good leaders. You could use the navy and diego garcia to launch an amphibious landing on Timurids home soil. Going Danzig-Dominica-Souh Africa-Diego Garcia-Timurland should minimize attrition.
The Teutonic Order's relations with Lithuania are slipping towards war. I think I would offer Lithuania military alliance, embargo Muscovy in the hope they'll declare war to which you can commit your Hochmeister, build up an army to stomp all over Muscovy and stay on the defensive in the east. Sweden in your alliance would be a good thing. Keep checking the adviser pool for a stability helper. Pray for a miracle! You've been waiting two centuries for a stability adviser and suddenly three turn up at once. Build loads of temples as a good little theocracy should - though you or the ai did that long ago.
Sicily has Burgundy in its corner. I think that rates as a positive. Tunisia would not still have Castille as its ally, would it?

I have to agree with CR, there....It might be prudent to try and get Lithuania as an ally. Sweden would be nice as well, but I don't think you will be lucky enough to get both in an alliance. I don't see the Timirud navy as a real problem for the TO...just sink 'em and I've found putting a few ships in the Skaggarack<sp?> area will keep enemy navies from getting into the Baltic. It's a fantastic bottleneck you should use to your full advantage.
You certainly don't want the Timiruds to keep blockading your ports. It will deeply affect your overseas income, in a negative fashion. One thing I have noticed that when an enemy ship or ships loses to a player in the Skaggerack is that they retreat back the way they came. They do NOT keep going forward, which is an improvement over EU2 in my opinion.
I also agree that you should keep a close eye on the advisor pool. There ARE stability advisors out there throughout the game. You just have to be willing to seek them out and be willing to sack one of your other advisors if necessary to acquire them.
I have to say that you are doing MUCH better with all three of your countries than I did with Anhalt in the end. You've kept under the BB limit and managed to keep your largest enemies at bay to the point where you CAN beat them when it is required.

Morpheus506 - Those are the mighty Timurid fleet. They kept sending ships during the entire war.
Rhynoclemmis - We still have a long way to go down this drain.
Insanity Boy - Stability is a real back breaker when at -3 stability. I’m starting to fall behind in tech levels because I have to put money into recovering stability and military maintenance to rebuild my land forces. Yep I’ve read about the AI not attriting at sea but I didn’t expect them to sail into the Baltic and blockade my country. Shocked the hell out of me when I saw them the first time. I don’t know how long they were there before I noticed.
Chief Ragusa - I tired to attack into a province covered by Terra Incognita that’s controlled by Sibir and as I’ve heard you can’t do it so I have a problem. They have good leaders but my tech advantage evens things out.
Unfortunately I lost Diego Garcia to rebels so I can’t use it. I was trying to send a fleet there but time ran out and I don’t think the AI will continue my effort.
No one wants to be my ally. Go figure. I managed to raise my relations with Lithuania. Military access with them is of the greatest importance right now.
I’ve got lots of temples and I’m looking for that stability advisor but not much luck in that area.
I don’t believe Castile is still allied with Tunisia but we’ll have to wait to find out for sure.
Amric - Timurid’s navy was a push over, at least in the Baltic. It is a fantastic bottleneck. I lost count of the ships I sank there. I haven’t had a problem with BB since I don’t normally grab a lot of provinces in a turn and the AI for the most part hasn’t gone on a conquering spree. I’d give almost anything for a good stability advisor.
Fulcrumvale - Funny thing is I can deal with the attrition rules even if I don’t like them. What I don’t like is the generic events that you get. I don’t see any difference in most of the events whether its Japan the Teutonic Order or Sicily.
Toshan - Thanks for dropping by. Things get interesting with the TO but first I’m going to post a little about what is happening back in Japan.

Okay lets take a short pause in this turn and go back and see what Japan is doing. I’m interested to see what mischief they are up to.
Well they still have a strong presence in SE Asia but there are fewer regiments there from when I left so where did they go?
I’m worried about Japan’s fleet movement. Are they using it to transport men or are they just out for a sail?
I believe this answers the question.
A shot at the AI’s choice in investment.
.
Might be awhile before the next stability improvement.
All right I was mostly interested in what or where the AI was doing with it’s land forces.
Back to the Teutonic Order

You'd think the ai would invest some money in stability. This has to be a bug. Likewise the manpower, the phantom fleets and you should be allowed to change the numbering or name them for the admiral or theatre of operations. Now they name the ships but not the regiments.I think a lot of flavour has gone. Do ai's ever change government type? Yet from the reports the ai seems to be more responsive to its situation.
Shame about Diego Garcia. At least your fleet is on its way there, so maybe the ai will assault the rebels and reclaim it for the Teutonic Order. On the events that show up on screen, the ai does a lot of ignoring rebels. Why does no-one wantto ally with the Order, you're not a bad boy are you?

Chief Ragusa said:
No ! I've never seen any AI changing its government. Government types are under used in this game I think, since I never change it. The basic two monarchies are efficient in manpower or badboy allowance, and I don't see any improvements worth of changing in further gov types.
Storey as always you'll have to spend the first years correcting the bizarre management of the AI regarding troops and fleets... You're so courageous. I would have given up with a loud shrug.
