My favourite nation to play as that is hard is Mazowia (I think that's how it's spelt?)

You're stuck between Poland, Lithuania, and the Teutons. :3

Transylvania is up there too.

And in Death and Taxes, I prefer the Knights. I can form a theocratic greeeeece~ :3

Does anyone know what the hardest nation is for divine winds?

chimu, maldives, & ryukyu are all up there

[snelg]

I'd think the small Russian states would be way harder than Ryukyu (you can get the ball rolling in a year or so with Ryukyu in vanilla). Granted, westernizing is always a problem since it's so damn unreliable. But it depends on what you set out to do I guess. I've heard Bar is supposed to be hard.

[TripJack]

yeah yaroslavl is up there too

Why has no one said the aztec related tribes? It's basically rolling the dice to see if castille find you first.

Also, played Trier. Out-teching everyone, controlling all CoT, soon to be the HRE, smashed scandinavia and burgundy to pieces, expanding into the new world..... Now all that is left is world domination.

Bar can be difficult, but only really at the beginning and only if Burgundy does its usual thing and bumrushes you. Then you have to fight Burgundy. Otherwise, it's actually a pretty well-positioned country. Just shank other OPMs until you can absorb Burgundy, and then have a good time playing as Burgundy with a slightly different color.

There's really two different kinds of difficulty.  There's difficulty of possibly dying right at the start from factors outside your control and difficulty expanding.

And difficulty to expand really isn't. Even with small countries it's mostly the case of some military access and a quick war to pick up some land or a vassal.

Yea, the whole snowball effect of expanding is pretty detrimental to lategame play.

You all make me feel bad about my horrible eu3 skills.

You all make me feel bad about my horrible eu3 skills.

Its fine, we were all horrible once. I still suck at combat, so when I want to expand I ally with someone bigger than the enemy and spam insults everywhere. Someone eventually bites and I just gobble up territory while my ally beats on the enemy army.

Can I install D&T and keep my vanilla games, or is it a total conversion?

Been a while since I played it but I'm pretty sure it goes into the mod-dir (no replacing the vanilla game files).

edit: To clarify. You can still play your vanilla saves on vanilla EU3, but bringing the saves into the mod is asking for trouble (not sure which you're looking for).

[Descan]

You can try it, it doesn't over-write your game files. You'd just have to copy your save game to the mod folders save game folder.

I doubt it'd work, to be honest, but the worst that'll happen is that it crashes.

I meant will I still be able to play vanilla saves, so thanks. I'll probably download it sometime soon, unless I but Empire Total War.
