What's the light olive drab patch to your south, in Central Asia between you and Persia? Looks like one of the hordes, or maybe Khorasan?

Uhhh... K-something. Tribalistic idiots. Only reason I haven't finished my war against them, is, well, I can't be bothered with the amount of rebels that would pop up, with two regions in bad times.

Yeah, either Khiva or Khorasan then. If they're tribal then I think it's Khiva (a Tribal Federation by default). Take them out, and you've got prime position to conquer the Indian subcontinent or Persia. (I'd go with India...much richer provinces). Once you have a near monopoly on spice and chinaware production, your income should be through the roof.

Khiva, yup.

Is there a program out yet to convert crusader kings II save games into EU III scenarios?

Don't know how far they're with those, but even when they're far in their development they won't do as well as you modding the end result over yourself.

Starting with the Ottomans in 1578 (start of Eighty Years War).

Did the Dutch won their revolution (I've never played any other date than the start date)?

Trying out death and taxes I'm getting texttip spam whenever the mouse pointer is over water.  It seems that the game is displaying any fleet that is close enough to deter pirates, which tends to be a lot of fleets.  Any way to disable this text?

I remember it being a problem in the alpha 5.1 patches but thought it was gone now.

Congrats. It takes a lot of patience to do a full game since the game can get easymode easily.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
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.

I havent been playing as much lately; I always lose a lot of lust to play when I do well and succeed. It's like... now what? I just do well again? Eh.

I guess I'll start over with a smaller country.

And this cycle will repeat until you're starting with the Knights of Rhodes in 1399 on the hardest difficulty. I've tried it, and since then I haven't really had much fun without other human players. (For the curious, I took over the Balkans and Anatolia, and proceeded to barely hang onto them for a few hundred years. Eventually started growing again, but France far outpaced me. I bet I would have done better if I had ever changed government types, but hey, challenge mode.)
