When you wonder why they need an endless political debate for the next generation jetfighters to buy, rather than just look at the offence shock pipes.
You know you've played EU3 too much when...

They could, but they are not interested in military. They just want to get your taxes for themselves.
...when your girlfriend who's never played more than a year of EU3 because "there's nothing happening" can still understand most of the jokes in the RAAAGE thread.
...when you try to liberate your neighbor's children to get an ally in your planned war to reclaim your power tools.
...when you use scorched earth tactics on your lawn in the hopes that the mail carrier will die of attrition before delivering your bills.
...when you think you deserve a lower interest rate because your "advisor" father works in finance.

You know you've played EU3 too much when you never want to look out of a telescope, for fear of seeing a comet.
You know you play EU3 too much when you develop a theory that the Knights of St. John were based in Transylvania. (This actually happened to me in my Tuscany -> Italy game)
Wow. Though in mine it was Knights -> western chunks of Lithuania :wacko:
You know you've played EU3 too much when you imagine Quebec as a giant grey wasteland.
You know you've played EU3 too much when you think Christchurch, NZ is in the far north of the South Island. And you live in New Zealand. >.<
You know you've played EU3 too much when you think that the only reason Spain isn't conquering Portugal is that they have a regency council.
You know when you have played too much EU3 when:
-Informed of protests in China, you reason the Bureaucrats and Temple factions must be at it again.
-You visit Okinawa (modern-day Ryukyu) and think of what could've been.
-You think that the fact that Prussia formed Germany in RL was only a scheme so Brandenburg could grab the 'Prussian Military Reforms' decision.
-Just as a comet races by, you gasp in horror and begin prophesying the end of the world. But only after you realize you can't save and reload.
-When you move into another house/apartment, and check for the appropriate checksum before unpacking your stuff.
-You arrange marriages for all of your daughters in the hope of seizing particularly important strategic points in the neighborhood.
-You read about the Battle of Lepanto (or any other pre-18th century Mediterranean naval encounter) and wonder why nobody had already switched over to carracks.
-When you read Lord of the Rings and brush Saruman off as a Turkish OPM with delusions of grandeur.

Am I cool now?

You know you've played too much when the game tells you that the culture in all of the crown of Aragón is catalan, but you are from Aragón and know that it's plain absurd, but now you're in doubt because of EU3 :laugh:
(To clarify: Cataluña, the county of Barcelona, was simply another region that joined the kingdom of Aragón under the Crown of Aragón, but it was neither the main culture of the Crown nor even Barcelona was the proclaimed capital of Aragón, among many other mistakes)
:rofl:

Didn't the capital change several times? I can only remember of Zaragoza.
@ODaly: haha, n1 that scorched earth tactic on the mail carrier is also my favourite
Indeed, in fact the "capital" changed wherever the king was living, for both Castille and Aragón, till the idea of Spain was formed and the Austrias decided to turn a "little" town by then (Madrid) to be the official capital. For me, the funny thing is that EU3 considers the capital of Aragon to be outside the proper Aragonese region (outside Huesca and Zaragoza, mostly), hehe.
Ok, back on topic.
You know you've played EU3 too much when you try to cheer up a friend IRL saying: "It could have been worse... you could have started as Bar in 1399, for example"
And this is precisely why I attached a frickin flamethrower to my dog's head.
Or a secret magic-player
Magic the gathering? Or something else? Cause i play magic whatever. Nice cardgame.
EDIT: And i have few dogs(or hounds but whatever) red cards, but don't have flamethrower equipment card.
