Being unable to 100% administrate anything but your capital (and perhaps a not-capital CoT or Nat. Focus target) early on seems to be WaD.

As Venice I can only Correctly administrate my capital province, not sure if that is WAD.
Its garunteed you wont perfectly admin anything except maybe one or two provinces, so don't fret.

The only part of IE I really hate is the damn popup :P

LukeW who is the dev of D&T is going to change it so it doesnt pop up. I'll love that. Anything to cut down on the popups. EU3 has way too many popups that you need to keep up because they are important. It would be nice of Paradox thought about having them pop up somewhere other then the middle of the screen. Like, in the corner would be nice. I know they also pop up in the log but DAMN that goes fast. Every second a whole new screen of log pages flies by.

Don't tiny boxes pop up on the bottom right corner which you can click on to bring up a popup if you set certain things to appear there?

IE is a fairly good mod. If your having problems with IE in your provinces, I believe there a few NI's which help.

Austria, my buddy, was 'unlikely' to help me in my war. For some reason I decided to call them to arms anyway.

Austria declined your call to arms
Austria declared war
*All your other allies* declined your call to arms
Denmark, Portugal and Burgundy want to be allies.

(I am saved!)
And they all decline your call to arms

Now I have 65k Aussie troops running amok, next to the Genoan/Argonian/Bohemian ones.

Ragequit.

I totally love Death&Taxes though.

Alright, updates from the Japan front.
I somehow punched back down through the infamy limit from a lucky ruler death and the resulting bonus legitimacy (heir with good claim's all it takes), still sitting on terrible relations with the entire known world and 17% inflation, only to have the Mingblob, who are eating into Indochina as usual, get a mission to Conquer Taiwan. Which is Japanese-colonized and popped Chinaware, so I am NOT ceding that. But they try me anyway.
My fleet is still crap compared to the gazillion of galleys they have, unfortunately, and I lose all of my transports and galleys in the naval battle. Ming crosses the new narrow strait to Taiwan and sieges it. On the northern front, Joseon is getting stomped by Qing. So, what does one do? Ming, would you like Joseon to cede four of its provinces to Qing, giving you nothing but infamy and leaving Taiwan in the hands of Japan?
--
They would accept this offer.
--
 :P

Dissolved alliance with rump-Joseon (still owns Xia and three Indochinese provinces, but they have dreadful AE) afterwards, because I had a mission to fulfill.
Fast forward four years and one huge fleet building program later, I myself decide to press my "Get a piece of Korea" mission. Declare war on Joseon?
--
They are in Ming's sphere of influence. Ming is defender of the Confucian faith, and will protect them. Ming is allied to Qing. Ming is at war with Golden Horde and a boatload of minors/hordes. You will get a stability hit for the Royal Marriage.
--

Whatever. Conquest casus belli, gogogo! Ming has honored its alliance. Ming is now the warleader.
Ming has made peace with useless enemy! x10 They have sent some forces to Korea.
Japan has occupied the Korean mainlands! The Ming forces were crushed! (Where is the entire army? Only 20k arrived?) The Ming navy is beaten! (But still attempts things)
Qing has honored its alliance with Ming! Qing is tossing men at Korea! Qing's navy is foolishly exiting the ports! Qing's army feels the wrath of the Quality slider and Shock Six generals!
Joseon does not want to cede all three of the required provinces! Japan blockades their Indochinese ports. Joseon agrees to ceding the three provinces!
Mission complete. Get new mission. Occupy Nanjing! Cancel mission.
White Peace with Qing, 25 ducats for Ming to shut them up.
I just fought what amounts to all of mainland Asia, and won. Not even westernised, or close to it. Fuck yeah. So much for the AI being smart...

MegaEngland vs MegaBavaria, GO!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Welp, it was fun while it lasted. Not bad, considering Bavaria isn't even the HRE.

Think I should let all those little minors go and see what kinda trouble they get up to? :D

...Oh dear lord, that looks painful. Why would you do that to poor England.

Yes, you should remove your alliances and see who comes out on top. Berry France anyone?

Currently working on exporting a CK1 game over to EU3:DW by hand, since there aren't any working converters for Divine Wind.  :'(

I'm probably about halfway there now, after countless man-hours of gathering information into spreadsheets and manually crunching the numbers to convert each and every CK province to its EU3 counterpart, including tax base, ownership, manpower, buildings and culture, and converting all the kingdoms and major duchies, including ruler, heirs, dynasties, advisors and marshals.

OY.

Made doubly tricky by the fact that I was using the More Kingdoms mod and started as the Duchy of Aquitaine, which went on to form a mighty Occitanian Empire, encompassing Spain, France, England, the Low Countries, and most of Germany. Still, should be an interesting game, what with Genoa the lone merchant republic owning most of northern Italy, Russia divided between a noble ruler in the western-central portion and a bishopric/Metropolitan controlling most of the north and east, and Genghis Khan's boys having had their asses kicked by a mixture of Russians and Cumans when they tried to show up. Most of the Levant and north Africa is Catholic, though still Arab/Berber. It'll be weird playing a game where there is no Austria (it's divided between Bohemia, Italy, Croatia and Venice -- which is a feudal kingdom now, not a republic).

One day when I finish getting the conversion done, I'll post before and after maps. Rather than go for a "form France and conquer the world" run, I'll go for a "form the HRE and conquer the world" run. After all, my dynasty has had four Emperors among its ranks.

I'll probably need to deal with them ASAP. They still have a lot of growing room, with the Golden Horde still alive, the Russian minors still minor, and as I play they are moving into the Ottomans :c
