It's been a while, and I've got this. (Bump)

I'm planning a war with GB, my intended troops dispositions will be like this, and the enemy troop dispositions are like this to the best of my knowledge.

Teutonic Order -> Prussia, 1742



First time ever playing Teutonic order, been pretty fun, slow but strong growth, completely ignoring colonization except for Greenland. One thing of note is that I'm pretty much the Sole reason the Reformation still exists, everyone else went back to Catholic, Protestent has only a couple of provinces hanging out on the edges of my territory.

Burgundy has always been the dominate faction France, but France has always managed to hold on so they haven't ever been able to actually unite the area.

Russia and I are stuck in an alliance due to a bug "Allied in a War" even if were both at peace.

Scandinavia has been a Warzone, various factions have been enjoying fighting brutal wars over Denmark, currently owned by Spain, Sweden keeps trying to conquer Norway and Finland and getting ganked by factions like me, the latest war ended with me forcing them to release Finland who I SHALL DEFEND.

Bohemia... oh gods, if you notice their 2 provinces in far east, that's a fraction of what their empire used to be... they stretched from Bohemia to bloody China and integrated almost everything into the Holy Roman Empire who they revoked voting privileges However in forming this massive empire they created massive inflation.  War eventually broke out between them and me, and after a pendulum swinging series of battles along our borders they eventually broke and me and my vassals promptly swarmed their lands. In the peace treaty they lost pretty much everything except their homelands and a few provinces here and there, and in another war later I re-instated voting in doing so stripping the Emperor title from the cold dead corpses of their armies. (Austria took the Crown)

Currently the former-Bohemian empire is pretty much a power vacuum, the nations released just aren't technologically advanced enough to defend themselves, however Zaporozhie, Nogai, and Kazakh (The green faction vassal to Persia) are all in the Holy Roman Empire, which is interesting, which is why I gave them the nickname "Holy Roman Khanates" (That's all their government types afaik)

On that note Persia is huge, they are really exploiting the hell out of that power Vacuum.

Georgia's little Kingdom is unexpected, I've never seen them do that before!

Cyprus is my Vassal, which is awesome.

Venice is copying my old Venice game and taking as much Mexico and Central America as they can get.

Tuscany owns a good chunk of Canada

Yeah, that's all I can really think of, its fun and awesome and fucked up.

Oman and Jemen switched places? WTF?

Humourous post is humourous. Next time use spoilers for the massive quote if followed by one line of text.

Would you look at this bullshit.

Cyrus is one of my favorites, but I've never played with Darius before, and he is ridiculous. Give him horses in Persepolis's BFC, and a nearby neighbor you want to kill (in this case Willem van Oranje, ooh I hate him - took him out with 4 immortals sometime around 2200 BC), and he's just going to run away with everything. And the third person on the continent? Hatsepshut. Separated by a desert. She just offered herself up as a vassal. Ridiculous! That thirty turn golden age? Taj Mahal + finishing the colosseum quest. Ridiculous! In Persepolis: Temple of Artemis, Great Lighthouse, Colossus, Mausoleum of Mausallos, and something else I forget. Oh yeah, Temple of Zeus. Pasargadae has the Great Library and Sankore, and Amsterdam has a bunch of other shit plus Heroic Epic. Ridiculous! Does my military suck? Oh no, it's world-class, with a bunch of level 3 immortals turned knights, and I'm about to go apeshit with privateers. Ridiculous!

(Yeah, it's at Noble, I'm not that good)

I want this game to go straight through transcendence on Alpha Centauri.

Update: lolrailroads before 1600, it's like I'm playing on Chieftain.

Well we can't have that now can we.

Me playing a Brandenburg -> Prussia -> Germany game with the Death and Taxes mod.

Spoiler: Things worthy of note: (click to show/hide)

-Germany is now a major colonizer in the Americas.
-Iberia was formed by Castille (or Spain, but that was propably formed by them as well) and subsequently lost Aragon when they ground themselves into the dirt with an useless war.
-Britanny has moved to North America and lost all its holdings in Europe.
-England won the Hundred Years' War by a landslide and has only recently begun to lose their grip on what usually turns out to be a frightening sea of blue and lots of soldiers. It is safely fractured into tiny states at the moment with a ludicrous network of independence guarantees preventing any border changes without triggering a horrible european unpleasantness.
-I've been annexing my vassals for the last 150 years or so.
-The Papacy has been wandering throughout the bishopic holdings amongst my vassals since when the Ottomans took over Italy for a short time.
-The Ottomans continued to pester my buffer states in the balkans, so I cut them down to size and put Byzantium as a counterweight. This resulted in the other Great Powers jumping at them and split them even more.
-The Kingdom of Jerusalem is allied to me ever since I created it and projects my authority into the pacific, where I cannot be bothered to send my fleet to.
-Most of Asia is pretty busy and steadily becoming one with Russia, Hindustan or Ming China.

I had this bug before. I had to reinstall. It sucked.

[Dutchling]

I had it because I was modding the map and Paint.net corrupts the map every time I saved. Now I just use paint and it works fine.

Not a huge achievement, I know, but here goes:

Now I just have to beat Ming while fighting off all these rebels without going bankrupt. I'm thinking I'll probably just use scorched earth tactics since all our connecting provinces are mountain-filled. Worst comes to worst, I'll just concede defeat. Ming will be easy to kill at pretty much any time since their tech group is so bad, but taking out the Balkans will get harder and harder as time goes on.

The other advantage is that Ming already has like 10 war exhaustion from parking giant stacks in Kazakh. They're also at war with Japan, so that might be contributing. I know their army is still pretty big, though. I can see like 30 to 40 regiments in Kazakh alone.

[Dutchling]

Well, I doubt I could have managed that without ragequiting because of the rebels.
But why don't you just form the Mughal Empire?

Timur died before I got all the necessary Indian provinces. All of his successors lacked the military skill. I'm also still not at government tech 4 just yet even though I've been focusing on it for quite some time. Yes, tech costs are that bad, not even getting into my insane stability costs.

I'd also like to get more of Africa out of the way since I can holy war basically everything else on the map. Oddly enough Ethiopia there is Orthodox, so I'm not going to wait on them.

Whart is the CK game? A full name please.

Crusader Kings. The expansion is Deus Vult. There is a sequel coming out in the next few months.

Last time I played Timur (first time as well..) I formed it after only getting perhaps 15 more provinces. I did have to wait for gov tech as well do I guess you were just more successful at beating the Ottomans and Mamluks than I was.

And Ethiopia always starts Orthodox. They were converted by the Eastern Roman Empire or so.
