Wait, how did you manage so much AE from just Italy? How fast did you conquer stuff? Have you conquered much stuff without claims or an appropriate CB?

I may have taken a few provinces without claims, but I tend to only take claims because it costs less monarch points and seems really good in the long run. The only reason I can think of is that it was made up of so many OPMs that each province was causing ~70 AE each.

[Persus13]

I believe its because Italian provinces tend to have really high base tax compared to other provinces.

I am so sick of Sweden. Every time I have them as an ally, they just sit their armies in their land and never ****ing move. I've even seen them get their guys get stuck in the Russian area somehow, then walk them all the way back through Europe and then Denmark, past the entire battlefield and multiple groups they could have crushed, just so they could go sit on their capital.

Here's an album of my previous 1.8 game where I went Jurchen tribe -> Buddhist Manchu -> Qing and got the Silk Road achievement. I also made a beautiful giant Mexico CN which Paradox decided to patch out (for some unknown demented reason), which destroyed the little enjoyment I could find from playing the colonial game.

Highest income by far, fully westernised by around ~1520 (didn't want to vassal feed as an extra "challenge"), world trade leader in almost all trade goods and production leader in most. Biggest religion in the world with something like 1.5k provinces.
It was a stupidly easy and frankly rather boring game. It's the first time I've ever finished a game and by ~1700 I just had the game on full speed occasionally unpausing to do trivial things. Eu4 certainly fails to be interesting in the late game.

My CN managed to suffer a huge rebellion and lost territory while I wasn't paying attention for a few seconds (damn colonial nations suck at surviving), enraging me to no end. Perm is a vassal which I subjugated very early in the game (by no CB declaring and marching across Siberia) just because I didn't want to bother sieging down a thousand Russian provinces in the late game. Didn't want to take Africa but I was too disgusted by the income Sevilla was making.

... What DOES "Yu Wangguo" mean anyway? I googled it, didn't get anything really applicable.

[Catastrophic lolcats]

It's meant to be Jade Kingdom/State but I just looked up those characters in a traditional chinese dictionary and slightly anglicised the translation (to keep it in line with Qing and such). It's probably hopelessly wrong but I guess it's better than Manchu Mexico?

王國, Yù Wángguó.

[WealthyRadish]

I preferred Qingxico when I did something similar. Also Qingstralia, Qingaska, Qingifornia, Qingsiana...

Did you also take Rome?

[Catastrophic lolcats]

Yup Rome is mine and is both culturally and religiously converted. Wanted that extra missionary and borders in Europe weren't going to get pretty any time soon. I also forget to say that I was often capped at treasury max (1000k) because trade income was so broken in 1.8.

[Azkanan]

Behold!

It's not that great, but my Game Speed has dropped to two days a second, on full speed, and my king is four year olds. Fuck this shit. o7





There was a northern state, but I needed that monies.

Oh, and don't forget to notice the Adriatic State I was planning to take over Italy with, in place of Serbia.

[FritzPL]

Can we get a few screenshots of the whole world? I congratulate you on fulfilling the Intermarium dream and going even farther, but I'm interested in how that giant Oirat blob is doing. Also, Pope and the Saxons are doing very well this game.

[Descan]

If you kept going and vassalized the Pope, you wouldn't have even needed to change the name.

[Culise]

Or crack Muscowy before it can expand too far eastward and seize Siberia for yourself, or your vassals.  Intermarium?  Interoceanium. :3

[Micro102]

Weird thing just happened. Game was paused. I Annexed a country, then I get a pop-up message while the game is still paused saying a revolt has occurred. Is this normal? What causes it?

[Catastrophic lolcats]

Muscovy not your vassal? You should have made a beeline and strangled Muscovy in the crib before it got out of hand. Also not only have you failed to removed Kebab but actually allowed it to expand into the Balkans. I'm disappointed.

Good little game but if you really want to devastate with Poland you have to get a lot more aggressive. You're in a great spot to strangle the rising powers in the east early and then you can rotate your efforts towards expanding eastwards into Asia or westwards to consolidate Europe.

The game seems to "tick" whenever a war is declared or ended. This happened a lot more back in the day when uprisings were random but it still happens occasionally.
