That's pretty rough. I try not to get involved with wars where I'm not the leader for that very reason. In this case though, I wasn't even allied with Genoa, they just jumped in with an opportunistic war declaration of their own.

Poland is giving me trouble in D&T. I can't win with them. I got the Teutons under vassalization, Lithuania under a PU, I own half of the former Golden Horde's land (all cored), and I also have a weakened Hungary in PU. I'm allied with Pommerania and Brandenburg, who are start-date-size still.

That is most of eastern Europe... but I still get my ass kicked constantly by Austria and Bohemia, who don't even own much land. Hooooww :( They pull out hundreds of thousands of troops every war :(

I'm assuming it's me being 4 levels behind them in land, but still. I swear, Austria is insanely lucrative, and Bohemia never loses the imperial crown. I'm really enjoying this, it's the first nation I've played that is weak even when they own half of the continent.

Want to host another multiplayer game then and try to reach 1930? :P

With Austria and Bohemia you need to play them off against each other. If you're playing in the region its generally a good idea to ally with one or the other then jump in and completely cripple one of them. With Austria you can release Styria and Tirol, while with Bohemia you should free Silesia and take enough provinces to take away the 'large nation in HRE' bonus they get to their elector scores.

Taking the new Death and Taxes for a run, started a game as Teutonic Order. I have no decision to form Prussia, and no Holy War casus belli against Lithuania. I've been playing MEIOU pretty steadily for the last month, so I have no idea if this is intended and/or normal, but I'm having fun vassalizing and converting all the Russian states nontheless.

Perhaps you're supposed to take the holy war national idea?(I don't remember which it is)

I just became Papal Controller and called for a Lithuanian crusade and still didn't get the CB, so there's clearly some kind of bug going on. I guess I'll go report it.

It should still give holy war for neighbours, must be a bug.

TEU can still form PRU, you just need to be protestant for the decision to be visible, instead of it being a requirement to enact.

One of the fun bugs I ran into when playing Serbia -> Illyria is that all of my cores start inverted. I.E. I don't have cores on provinces I should have cores on, and vice versa.

So... does that mean you got cores on the entire world besides your own provinces?

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.

Even just recovering your starting cores before they expire in a Byzantium game isn't the easiest thing in the world.
