I'd suggest taking it slow, maybe conquer some of Spain's colonies, and I hear the AI usually don't defend the iberian peninsula well so possibly attack their homeland as well. Mostly though, take advantage of the homeground advantage, wait for them to come to you and suffer from attrition. Is that Spain in Scandinavia? Conquer those provinces, it might give you enough warscore to get a decent peace deal. Portugal usually doesn't have enough manpower for any sort of extended fighting. Is that Sind/Sibir(can't remember which) to your right? They and Denmark look like easy picking so I would suggest attacking them when you have the time. And I thought that grey blob was the Teutonic Order at first. Lol. Anyway, take it slow and try not to declare war too much at first. Possibly bribe some electors to eventually become HRE for manpower boost.

The world in the year 1726 of our Lord:

The faiths of Orthodox Christianity, Shiite and Hindu are extinct. Manchu is annexed. The conquest of Japan has begun. Korea is reduced to two provinces. Aceh diplomatically annexed by Delhi. Poland is finally starting to look smaller. Ming and Delhi lost a big chunk of provinces. Annexed a lot of minors.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to add pic.

EDIT2: Wtf? Ming just turned into Manchu?! Oh well, not complaining.

EDIT3: Checked the log, apparently they decided to form the Chinese nation. Amusing.

I managed to shake off all the warmongers(GB came back again shortly after) with persistent peacemaking, and I also found out why they constantly went after me. I had a couple of vassals in America that gave them the colonization casus belli. They were a huge nuisance to me, and I couldn't even give them up because my prestige was too low. So I found it really funny when I used their release as an asset in my peace negotiation

Now I'm rebuilding my navy, getting a proper army and investing all my money in war tech. Europe shall bow down to me.

The Cleansing of the Vassals has begun. The Pope has been overthrown. Long Live the the Spanish Emperor, Pope of the Spanish Catholic Church! Map in a few years.

Waiting for the truces to expire. Reformed Christianity, Protestant Christianity and Buddhism no longer exist and Shinto will soon join them. Got the American Quest for Independence event, just gave them some cores after which nothing happened. Got a lot of cool loyalist stronghold events before this though via governors that I replaced or something, forgot the specific name of the event. Executed a lot of founding fathers as well.

What's that, two countries left? Good job, now do the same with a super-poor OPM.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Three, and anything he uncovers in unexplored territory.

[Demonic Spoon]

I've explored everything, black is impassable terrain. 3 left yes. Anyway gonna go sleep now.

Is it possible to take a OPM from that save-game and attempt a reverse-WC?

No. So clearly we're going to have to do this.

I suppose I could release a nation or take one of my older saves, but I really don't want to.

Congratulations. You won the game.

EUIII doesn't have a "win" condition.  But thanks.

What's your tech situation look like?  Does having a monopoly on every COT let you get way ahead of time on techs?

[Demonic Spoon]

I'm about 10 years ahead on everything. Even managed to build a few manufactories.
