France actually implodes quite regularly, all that has to happen is they really lose one war and then they have to release some states, and then it snowballs from there. What's more surprising is non-collapsed Poland. And who is that in the Middle East?

Thats mostly due to my intervention. We made an Alliance near the start and it has been going since then, with the occasional moments where it broke due to Religous changes (I went Prostant and they went Reformed) and wars I simply couldn't join because inevitable Alliance Cascades, Large Stab hits, and Clusterfucks. I don't know why I'm still allied with them. I guess Poland just kinda grew on me a bit and I couldn't just let them go.  :-\

Early game I had to bail them out from getting completely fucked over by Bohemia (Back when the HRE still existed) and Lithuania. Speaking of Lithuania, oh god, they were once REALLY fucking Scary. They managed to break out of their PU with Poland because they were Excomunicated when their Ruler died and go on an Absolute rampage. By the end of it, they Literally extended straight from the Black sea to the White sea. We (Me, Poland, and Russia (Then Muscowy)) managed to get them under control by the time that Map was made, but god DAMN. They used to be a Iron Clad Steamroller.

And who is that in the Middle East?

Persia. And if you had a keen eye, you could also see that they had colonies on the Horn of Africa and even in South East Asia.

I've seen Iroquois colonize Mutapa, but that was an AAR.

I saw an AAR where the Iroquois managed a World Conquest. PrawnStar is a lunatic.

That's the one, The Audacity of Hope. The spinoff by another guy, the Audacity of Pope, is almost as good.

Same guy pulled off a complete WC with a tribal Golden Horde without changing government. If I recall correctly his final rebel count was around seven million.

Also PrawnStar, and IIRC it was upwards of 20 million. Although there's a fair chance I'm wrong.

As I recall, there was at one point an incident in which some of the rebel groups accidentally collided with enemy armies and prevented him from suffering a major loss. Also, I'm pretty sure he never actually stopped the rebellions entirely after the first Tribal Succession Crisis.

He also tried a below-infamy limit WC, but failed just barely, if I remember correctly.

I've never done a WC, is it as hard as people have said it is?

It depends on the situation. In Crusader Kings taking over the available map is really easy if you know what you're doing. In EU3 world conquests have been achieved with nations like Xhosa, a one province tribal pagan minor in southern Africa with a severe tech penalty . It's probably most difficult in Victora II, where the only WC I've ever seen was done with Great Britain, and just barely. It's easier in Hearts of Iron because there's less political nonsense and more total all-consuming warfare.

In EU3, France, Great Britain, or Burgundy. Castille's good too if you can take on France. Really any major power can do it if you ignore the infamy limit. (Though if you try it as Deccan like I did, expect horrifically backwards technology and endless rebels.)
