Fast Forward to the first day of the freedom of Athens and play it. CONQUER ALL YOUR BALAKANS.

Where is Byzantium?I was sure EU3 covered its last years! OUTRAGE!

(defeating ottomans with a one province minor is fun)
Actually, they can be fairly powerful. They start with two provinces, one of them one of the best in the game. That means they can crush the nearby OPMs and do some real damage. In my game as The Knights, they're probably my closest rival, owning half the balkan peninsula while I own most of Anatolia.

Yeah, I'd prefer Byzantium over Kongo. Kongo would just be a while of uneventful buildup until suddenly Europeans and then you die horribly because your troops suck.

But Byzantium is STRONGER then a OPM! Thats no way a Bay12er should play! Play Athens and rebuild the Greek Empire!

Kongo would just be a while of uneventful buildup until suddenly Europeans and then you die horribly because your troops suck.
Thats an accurate discription of what would happen. I don't even think Kongo is in the game.

True. You know what? I want to see someone else try and survive as The Knights. It's downright comical whenever the Ottoman Empire declares war on you. You will lose almost every war, but eventually you can claw yourself out an empire.

And the nominations are in! The following have been nominated:

Byzantium
Kongo
The Knights
Athens

We seem to be a little Balkan heavy...but the Balkans are better than the coast of Africa! Actually who am I to judge, time for voting! Which "mighty nation" shall I be?

Seems like i missed the vote  :( I vote zaporozhie anyway! Except you must mod their culture to be ruthenian and fast forward to the late 1500's ish.

Having never seen the Divine Wind game play, I'd like to nominate any of the four Daimyos of Japan to the list if it isn't too late.

Added a Daimyo.

Edit: I'm not going to add any more because, unfortunately, people can't change votes...sorry but you're just going to have to pick between these 6 :)

Note: If we choose Athens, I would recommend changing our culture to Greek as soon as possible, because your National culture is Italian, but your only province's Culture is Greek.

Can't you only change national culture through events?

Oh come on now. I'm the only one who wants to see an EU3 game that's different from the same old overplayed nations? Vote Kongo!

...Ethiopia, actually. Orthodox, surrounded by enemies who WILL holy war you the split second you show any weakness, and no, you may not convert. Converting means losing. And not in the fun way, either.

The Zaporozhie Cossacks are surrounded by Muslims, pissed Russians, and Poland-Lithuania. Plus they're a tribal democracy (wtf?) or some shit.
