Where to go from here as Austria?

[unmerged(62118)]

I'm playing as Austria (no cheats and I forget what difficulty) and I have diplo-annexed Bavaria, Saxony, Venice, Tuscany, Modena, Kleves and then had the events with Bohemia and Hungary (inheritance). I have Wurtemburg vassalized (can't annex because I am the ever HOLY Roman Catholic Religion and they are Protestant) and am allied with Spain, Portugal, and the Knights. I have conquered most of the European part of Turkey and most of Germany is mine. France, well as usual the AI France racked up BB and I DESTROYED them along with half the world. Where to now? Should I stay allied with Spain or switch. Which direction should I expand. Tips please it's around 1660 and I've fought through all the tough events and I have 17% inflation and 2 BB. Please Help. THANK YOU!

Seems you've hit the wall of not-interesting-anymore, wich happens when one is so powerfull there aren't really any more chalanges left.

However, if you really want a job - you can free the Greeks, Anex the Poles, burn down Moscow, convert england to the one true faith, or build a nice colonial empire.

Well, you *could* go for a WC, but that will probably make your game even more boring... you could... just do some crazy stuff, like making an event swiching you to Sunni or Pagan... but I just prefer to achieve a few key objectives like conquering all of the provinces in the HRE and nothing else, or as England, choosing option C in the crown of France and watch France gobble Europe up and then vassalize them with 20000 cavalry . Or, you could try to vassalize as many nations as possible, try to monopolize all of the COT's of the world... just think of anything that might be fun... or just downright ridiculous...

Release all possible vassals (except Germany), release them all from vassalhood, and start over.

Get Reformed and try to convert all provinces to the one true faith.

Make the whole of Europe Austrian, simply.

Like what allies do you think I should have, if any and what country should I vassalize and annex. Also what would better my chances of Poland accepting vassalization? I need info like that please, like what alliances, should I colonize or what. Thanks

You vassalize all majors and get them into your alliance then you diplo annex them all and start bb-wars

It's your own game dude, we shouldn't play it for you. It's quite impossible to say which nations you should ally with as we have no idea how your game is beyond what you've said.

When I get extremely powerful, I tend to ally with small nations and helt them grow large, that way they can be a challenge later. For an example you could help Denmark or Sweden unite Scandinavia, you could try to make Portugal the sole power on the Iberian penninsula, you could help the scots take over England. . . The game is full of options and you're the one gaming, not us.
