Okay, this may be particular to Americans playing Eastern European nations...

When someone tells you they visited their family in Georgia, you think, "South of Russia?"

True story.
Actually George Bush Jr. during a summit asked Putin: "how come you're invading Georgia", to which Putin replied: "Don't worry, is not your Georgia" :rofl:

When you start to wonder how did the allies and soviets in ww2 get a peace over 100% warscore?
That's obviously the MM mod and the Jews had to do with it!! :p

yeah not really.. However if you managed to reach 3000 then you have a problem :D
Nah... actually the less posts you have the more time you spend playing EU3 instead of talking about EU3... :D

...when you have taken all the game music and put it on your MP3 player.
on top of that, you already have on your MP3 player the music of EU2, and "Falalan" is on your favorites... :rofl:

...when you actually google the lyrics of "Falalan" and discover that they are singing ancient Castillian... you kind of understand what they are saying and start singing it yourself...

...then you add to your resumé that you have a basic level of ancient castillian!! :rofl:

Or that you also have the music from R:TW and M2:TW on your MP3 player and listen to them almost daily.

-When you wonder how come Ireland was formed without conquering Ulster.

More than once have I pondered this... :D

When you in real life hear EU (European union) and your first idea is that they are talking about EU (Europa universalis).

No longer can I read "EU" and think not of Europa Universalis :p, and it's been quite a while since this started to happen, so... :rofl:

...when you listen to Mozart's Dies Irae all the time.

It seems i'm in dire need of a cure... as this is my case, I think that this week that no day came and passed with me not listening to Mozart's Dies Irae at least once... :p

You know you play too much EU3 when you exit the game to go to bed knowing that you got to get up early and notice the time (hehehe):
omguk.jpg

Hey, that's not much, in fact I remember once when I went to high school without sleeping at about 8:30 AM... since I had playd HoI II since 2 AM to 8 AM :rofl:

As with EU III... well, I more than once have played up until 7 AM... it's one of few games that compell me so much that I just can't cease to play the damn thing :p...

Well, to stay on topic...

You know you play too much EU3 when...

... you declare war on your spouse and claim to be a "Pretender Rebel".
... you begin to wonder how come Portugal was not swallowed up by Castille/Spain (when I was in school, when I was about 12 years old, I recall actually bringing up this issue to my teacher :rofl:).
... you fail to understand why didn't Charles V go full Missionary Expenditure to convert the Netherlands.
... you hear of a General in RL who has been in command of an army for 5+ years and you yell "what's the catch? how come mine didn't survive for that long?!?"
... you speak of the "Duke of Brittany" (and Gelre, Mazovia, etc.) as "King of Brittany" and the like :p (unless you play MM, that is).


Well, I hope that those are of your liking :).


PS: Is it just me, or this is like the 3rd thread that covers the "You know you have played too much EU III when..." issue?

...when you remember at least 3 other version of a list in where you stated the signs of playing too much EU3.

LOL!! :rofl:, yeah, I think I should refrain from playing this game any further... lest I awake one day dressed as a Conquistador and set about to scout TI (only to stumble upon PTI, which is like an invisible barrior of sorts :p).

'Tis good to know that HttT will fix this, so that next time I am daydreaming with EU III I can safely traverse the uncharted regions of the world :p.

Hey guys - I just started playing a month ago but I've already seen a dream with countries on a map rapidly changing colors/turning stripy.

'Tis but a taste of things to come ;) .

Welcome to the forums! Enjoy your sanity while it lasts :) .

- When you go to Wikipedia to learn more about Ashanti.

You made me go to wikipedia to learn more about Ashanti:(

Well... actually, it was kind of interesting...

Which leads me to this:

- When watching the news makes you wonder if you ever played a nation in that part of the world

Okay this actually happened to me so it should be good to post here:

Circa 1995 - I was in high school and a friend of mine was working on a map for World History that had to be turned in right after lunch. So he's furiously coloring in all the nations and he says, and I quote "Quick, what color's the Byzantine Empire?!?" and without waiting for a response he quickly concludes "Well its brown now!"

Circa 2009 - I'm looking in this thread, I remember to that moment 14 years ago and think, "...Hmm, the Golden Horde must have been busy that day!"

Yes, that's a true EU3 moment right there. The only bad thing is, it was 14 years too late!

I've got the shade since 2005. You need to play more and go out less so that with the pale face and the black circles around your eyes you can be mistaken for a panda.
