Finally got around to completing my Castille game from page 1 of this thread.
EU3 IN
Not quite how I wanted to end, sadly. In the final 10 years of the game my King died and I entered a succession crisis. I chose Naples over Great Britain and handily vanquished them, forcing them to concede to Naples. Sadly, this PU remained until the end of the game. Sad since the GB king from that war actually died not long after. Naples would have been a much tougher battle though.
Due to this I also lost the practically hereditary hold on the crown of the HRE. I held it for something like 300 years. There isn't really much of an "empire" left to rule, however. There's only about six nations left.
Though despite the setbacks, the mighty kingdom of Spain should have a glorious future once they throw off the union. I ended up being by far the most wealthy nation, and eventually gained a massive technological lead as well. Only Naples ended up being technologically competitive.
Poor GB has a worse future. They're going into the new era with Munster and Scotland released from the war, and what they control of the British Isles is covered with revolutionaries. Munster somehow owns all of Ireland, no idea why they didn't form it before the end of the game.
To boot, GB is massively behind technologically, I don't know how they got that way. It was basically like fighting natives. They were 20 levels behind by the Succession war.
I didn't have too many goals. One was to conquer Africa. As can be seen, that was essentially completed barring a few random Portuguese provinces, a random province from Naples, and a vassalized Morocco I never had the heart to destroy.
Another goal was essentially to end France. I took pity on them after the last great war and decided to stay on their good side from then on. The war was devastating for them, they never reclaimed much of the land I forced them to release. They never were the same after that war.
Fun/historical facts:
-Ottomans in Turks Islands.
-Mexico colonized Hawaii (and some other South Pacific islands. Samoa I think that is)
-Only three colonial nations. Haiti controls one or two Caribbean island provinces. Venezuela controls Cuba and Jamaica. Mexico is actually where it should be for the most part.
-The giant tan blob is, of course, three different nations: Golden Horde, Persia, and Syria.
-Where I was, Portugal soon found its way there as well. They had to be everywhere I was colonizing. Hence the random dots of green in my otherwise pristine expanses of banana yellow. Though, they lost their S. Asian provinces within the last 50 years of the game.
-The Timurid empire used to be SCARY. They still exist, at least. I kind of miss their original form. They fell back in the mid 1500s, still a fair bit longer than their normal splinter time.
-Formed Spain in the late 1600s. DON'T MOCK ME.
-One very strangely shaped Korea.
