I think trying to compare Feudal Germany to Nazi Germany is a bit of a stretch.  ::)
The Germanic people have shifted their political and cultural stance more than any other race in history.

im playing the ottomans and im currently just about holding off serbia, austria and a load of other HRE guys. serbia managed to gain a massive chunk of greece so its pretty damn big atm.

in other news GBR's provinces are defecting to me... even though GBR has an 18 stack in Turkey, it just sits there and lets the rebels go nuts.

i hit 100 prestige pretty fast, my infamy's down to about 18, so I can start thinking about expanding, and inflation is down to ~20.

sadly i just lost half my army to a rebel stack in constantinople :<

Not entirely unreasonable, assuming they already own the Isles. Except that AI probably can't micro their fleets well enough to prevent a landing.

Yes, they own the isles. They also own most of france and some land in turkey(which is revolt-ridden)

EDIT: game update, just beat serbia into a pulp

They're probably just hunting pirates. Because LOGIC. Either that or its trying to act like the player and not giving a fuck because owning that much land is annoying due to revolts everywhere.

By doing what everyone was telling you: cutting minting. You were at 100% minting, and have been for ~half of the game so far.

Your problem is stability, not lack of money. You have a very rich area in asia minor and you were still complaining about not having enough money. Something tells me you dont really understand stability, since when I got to +3 stability you were producing a net profit without minting ANYTHING.

The reason I'm doing so well is because I lucked out and got a +100 ducats event as well as a 6-star MoM popping.
I've now managed to fend off spain (barely) and whack Serbia again. Now its time to take the last of the eastern balkans from the Bulgarians.

All those revolts in my poor and beloved country are Austria's fault. We were midwar, then Twiggie edited the peace terms in. I have to take my army west and break the rebels' and Castille's legs. Their excommunication of my King has been doing horrors for my prestige.

I wonder, was Bavaria still allied with them?

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 also hope you enjoyed Sabotaged Trade Routes (-50% movement speed), courtesy of Serbian bombs. :P

Feels good man.

Now I have to deal with crippling inflation, backwater tech, excommunication, and lack of any relations with my new Hungarian neighbors.
