This is why I don't usually play on normal.

Also I missed out on a LTU-PU thanks to them getting an heir the day after I claimed their throne... Spent about a year's worth of 60 bribes taking them from -200 to +190 then I don't even get the chance to DoW...

That and getting something like Austrian France if possible.
That reminds me. In my latest game, I've got a Spain with a "Spanish Belgium".

In Florida. :P
....I'm guessing Belgium got cores on Florida at some point, died and was reborn in the New World, then was conquered again? That or they're using Belgium in the profane HGttG sense.  :P
Nope. Belgium still lives right on my borders, and they still have more colonies on the new world. I think it's just Spain taking colonies like a dick.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

VH is just the computer cheating and generally being unfair, though.

Anyway, if we're talking Death & Taxes on Normal, may I present my game:

Why the fuck does Hindustan, which is three land tech levels behind me, have way better units than me? Oh yeah, it's because Eastern tech infantry sucks, and I don't get beter units until levels 26-28. I dunno if I'll manage to centralize fast enough to finish Westernizing before reaching those levels. Come to think of it, I probably ought to reorganize my stacks to include more artillery. Probably a 50-50 mix of infantry and artillery, with some cavalry support to flank.

While colonizing america I got one province next to what I think is a horde-type country? (No diplomacy, automatic war when neighbors. Not sure if that's the correct term.)
War without forts is propably the most annoying thing in this game.

The truly amazing thing for me here is that a 6 page thread can be created of exceedingly high quality, simply because a group of manic depressive, schizophrenic midgets were able to milk a cow.

Scandinavia screens ho!

Sadly, my North America screen didn't upload it appears. Suffice it to say, I've got most of North America as well. Also, how do you get that big world map with just the color shading and no labels?

F12 for a world map, Shift+F12 for a map of the world with only your holdings and subjects shaded in. The screenshot folder should be something like C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis 3\Screenshots.

Ahh ok. I'm pretty sure I tried that, but I assumed it would pop it up to my Steam profile like it does for the regular screens. I'll have to check it when I get home.

I'm still trying to successfully play Norway on Very Hard.

Is this even an accomplishable task? I've got less money than an african minor.

...Thanks for giving me the image.

Also of note in his image:

Holland fails at Netherlands.
France is a dick to Spain.
Byzantines in Japan(!!!).
Looks like Morocco in Ireland. Along with Brittany.
Aragon in Portugal.
Austrians all over the place.
Wu shitting bricks over Ming right on their border.
Large Shan.
