Well then lets have a look.
The brownish-orange part next to Asturias is in fact part of Frisia which i forgot to mention. Portugese Frisia has been in their hands for the better part of 200 years now.
@Silcugar:
I took with me all DLCs up to Mandate of Heaven and the one before the chinese one in CK2.
Several things are out of the ordinary however:
I regularly switched nations in CK2, personally i only reformed the West African (Fetishist), Summonesko and Zun Faith. Beyond that i had no hand in matters of faith.
What i had a hand in however was the downfall of the Frankish Empire. After Charles the Blind it repeatedly fell into complete civil war, yet somehow managed to still get a personal union with Saxony and threatened to eat up all of Scandinavia, so i intervened, as a small Germanic Saxon Count, who through excessive murder cajoling and secret culting became Emperor of all of Francia. I also had allowed free granting of Independence and a limitless amount of republics and theocraies in your realm. Basically with him in charge i first tried to turn Francia pagan which worked mediocre. I got bored rapidly with it and so went on to reform the West African Faith, all the while watching as civil war upon civil war caused rapid switches between catholics and heathens. And Francia was STILL growing. So i went back in took another pagan count made my way to the top and dismantled the entire thing by granting each duchy independence.
In EUIV i started as one of the Manchurian Tribes, formed Qing and took the Mandate of Heaven. Then i switched to Japan and watched in awe as Qing was pommeled back into Manchuria. before it could be erased i began a series of long and bloody wars mostly in the interest of claiming manchuria for myself. The resulting losses were not nearly worth the land gained and so i instead hunkered down in Korea and occassionally declared war letting the chinese die on the slopes of North Koreas mountain chains.
As for EUIV the converter worked horribly and so all of the nations had to be manually recreated by me, in a mixture of creating custom nations and simply going into the files afterwards and modifying religions and nations in places.
Vicky2 finally didn't recieve any changes to core settings, didn't find out about the awesomeness of the Pop Demand mod until much later.
In Vicky 2 i played mostly swabia which had already grown to the second most dominant nation on european soil. Except for Italy. Which owned all of the Balkans, Half of Poland was going well into spain and was on a happy muderous genocide spree after killing the Byzantine Empire, the Lithuanian Commonwealth and generally whatever ruled in the Balkans before i looked at it.
Basically the entire game was spent fighting italy, occasionally helping out greater Saxony to keep its integrity, putting Frisia back into place (with some reluctance) after it repeatedly had decided that helping italy was more worthwile. Colonizing bits of africa, joining one war with japan and deciding that it was not worth it, dropping out of the war and watching as the Japanese/European Border moved from the Rockies to the Great Plains. Pushing Scandinavia out of Germany and giving those lands to the Saxons, pushing Poland out of Prussia and giving those lands to the Saxons. Pushing the Saxons back across the Main Czechoslovakia line for declaring repeated wars to make me communist. Yeah and somehow along the way ending up with twice as much industry as the next three nations.
Anyway:
Taricus - Japan
VoidSlayer - Persia
Silcugar - Jomsvikings
Shadowclaw777 - Communist Peoples Republic of Asturias
Secheral - Blackfoot
i'll wait till tomorrow till i open the initial thread, in case anybody else wants a place.
