I like to flip, since the default Catholic religion doesn't provide much to those who aren't looking to rapidly expand and colonize. Other religions still give you a bit of colonists while buffing your income. The only issue is watching out for cleansing of heresy...

the same as a standard save. the mp mode lets you d/l saves.
It doesn't work too well, though. MP could certainly use more of the devs' attentions...

I like to exploit that when I'm Emperor and force convert OPM for authority. I united the HRE in the 1530s once.

I never had trouble with religions since I always go for a tolerant way to shut heathen rebels up. My tolarence for other religions never goes under zero.

That's more of a power-gaming rather than uniting by skill.

well would you have thought of doing that? it took the entire paradox forums several pages to work it out even with copious hints dropped.

I don't say it's dumb or anything, but it's like hitting a can with a football from 100 meters away in 40 tries rather than scoring a goal in the upper corner during an actual match.

You have 40k goddam manpower. When they declared war why didn't you just spam out 40 units? That's probably your problem.

Fast forward 25 years, and I've managed to form Iberia (I just needed to annex Portugal). I also own Judea (From the Jerusalem event) and all of Sicily (From the "Italian Ambitions" event). Everything is cored and without any risk of revolt. Joy. Not really sure what to go for next, because I dont like getting uncored provinces. Hopefully I will get a mission to invade africa soon, but for now all I am getting is generics.

Maybe I can take France now?.... Nah.
