What's the most immature stunt you've pulled in EU3?

[Quendorsof]

Somewhere in the late game during my cherokee game I conquered Normandy from France just so I could station an army and fleet there to use those to occupy the entire British Island with, been a while but I don't think I actually took anything from Great Britain after doing this due to a lack of desire to go over my infamy limit. (If I could've I would've taken entire England though, obviously)

... You call that a stunt? Or Immature?... You're weirdo, you know?

a war that took more than 100 years with my England against france because I had to occupy Paris.
It was a defensive war so 18 WE all the time didn't hurt me and war taxes actually made me strong.
In the end I got the technological advantage and could finally defeat france, Castille sometimes came along to irritate me, they once destroyed half my navy too.
This was with death and taxes where sliders are more powerful and france had the +1 morale decision.
Never again.

I guess to add to the thread, a few more moments of silliness:

• As emperor, I started converting the masses to Protestantism via demanding everyone in the empire convert. Those who refused met my massive armies, even harmless OPM's
• I engineered a way to become the Pope just because I had way too much power at my disposal. No real gains here, just did it for the lulz.
• I deliberately let rebellions start up in conquered countries, so when the war is over, the enemy still has mass rebellions that they can do nothing about.

The thread was started with the intent of seeing what other silly things people have done in a game of EU. I've done some odd things so I was curious what else people have done. And stunt was simply meant to be something interesting you did, not anything specific such as motorcycle tricks or the like

Well, one day I was playing *something* in India and Ming dowed me out of the blue. They couldn't reach me so I thought "what the heck" and spybombed them to -3 stab (HTTT times), let their WE reach max (probabyl from stacking - AI ftw.) and refused to peace out until they fell apart. I basically destroyed Ming just because I could. But they started it!

Once as the Byzantines, after firmly establishing myself as the greatest power ever sometime around the 1600's, I decided to get revenge on every crackpot nation that declared war on me shortly after I took out the Ottomans.

Long story short I annexed most of Europe and North Africa, releasing them as vassals only after renaming their capitals to some rather unflattering things.

Love that.

Playing as Prussia I would occupy all of Europe every once and a while, leaving one level 2 fort with 1000 soldiers to keep the war going, so that I could get the production value from provinces without increasing supply, leading to massive production values in all of my provinces because demand far outstripped supply. I saw it in another thread, so it wasn't my idea initially.

Once I ended the war, my income dropped to something like 30% of its wartime value.

Balkanizing France in nearly every game... i just don't like royale blue when it is not played by myself =)

I take back what I said, you indeed can pull immature stunts in this game

-lastly, I try to make peace on January 1st so I can steal all their year-end census taxes. I am not sure if that is immature, but its greedy at least.

Hah! Good to know I'm not the only one who does that.

Not sure about the 'stunt' part, but as for 'immature' I once played as Funj almost entirely so I could post about it on the forums and make a terrible pun at the end ("I had funj but I wouldn't do that again"). And on my EU3 to-do list I have 'start as Ulm, switch to monarchy when I get an Assmann, then spread the dynasty of the Assmann all over the face of Europe'. I have yet to get to that because I suck at playing OPMs.

I think I have the only immature stunt of the whole topic...
My friend can't walk for a few days due to his ankle, so I went over to his house and played EU3.
Installed newest D&T yesterday and there we went, me as TO and he as Holland.
After squishing Burgundy to bits, I offered him that I'd remove them from the empire if he sold me the provinces and I would sell them back.
And the last moment I saved the game, created burgundy as a vassal and told him to eat castillian embargo letters !
He raged attacked me with some AI countries and the only two people that got destroyed were us.
Then we reloaded the save and we played on as planned.
That's immature and quite f*cking over a friend

AI warns me.
Send insult.

Lol.

I don't think immature threads are needed on this forum. We have a raaage thread already.
