How is your EU3 Game going?

[Antilogic]

Now that's a Megali Hellas if I ever saw one.

Thinking of playing a game again. Either England or Roman Empire. I know, you'd never expect the latter

But if i do i will plan to have all areas in every Greek state in History. Here is a map of that by Dachs:

Manipur... that should be interesting. Certainly not an easy choice.

I want a screenshot of the monster Ottomans. I usually like a nice strong Ottomans, since often either Austria or Bohemia becomes the superpower in southeast Europe.

Well, I tried. Problem ended up being Assam who got the provinces I really needed to get access to in order to conquer the rest of India, then proceeded to decide I was small enough to subjugate at 6 provinces. I'll probably have another go sometime, but I think I need something easier. India, I think, is out. Too easy as Vijay, too hard as everyone else due to Vijay.

Remind me of my Byzantine game that I've still to finish :

@Kyriakos' map/Akka's game:

100 years? You can make it easily. Great game.

 

[Kyriakos]

Nice game there Akka

But, a Byzantine Ireland?

Thinking of taking over that? Why not as Italy?

 

[Akka]

Nice game there Akka

I inherited it with Spain (along a big chunk of South America).
Also, I intend to make an "extended" full Roman Empire. They got the south of Great Britain, so I plan to take the whole British Isles ^^

In my Byzantine game, I'm extending my rule in Europe through vassals and allies, rather than simply painting the map purple. I'm way too busy for that!

 

[Quintillus]

Very nice Byzantium there. And I like Kyriakos' plan, even if Byzantium is a very predictable country. Sounds like a grander version of my plans for my Athens game.

Well, you're only subjugated, not annexed! There's still time to build up a big army and fight back!

But yeah, there aren't a ton of middle grounds in India. Maybe Delhi, if you're OK with a Muslim India. I tried Gondwana and Orissa once upon a time, and neither time did I have any degree of success.

So... is it not possible to conquer Japan properly? I've occupied every province, have what should be a less than 100 province cost, every Japanese daimyo is a one-province minor, they have no army or rebels left, and all their bases are belong to us. But I cannot annex any of them, and the vassal cost is 1120 warscore, while I only have 100 warscore. I do get a popup that the shogunate is disbanded every day.

Spoiler Shogunate Uberdisbanded :

But I can't annex Japan . I am at war with Polotsk, helping the Russians crush them with powerful Chinese artillery, and Deva Bengal owns Kiroshima, but otherwise things are pretty standard. Tried restarting the game, too. Methinks this may be a bug, seems like Japan ought to be conquerable.

As seen, I can get some nice claim renunciations. I already accepted some from Taira in the last war. But that isn't quite as good as actually, y'know, conquering them. And if I accept this now, I'm not sure they'll surrender next time, either.

Edit: Playing official 5.1 version.

I must say, nice Bulgaria.

 

[Arakhor]

The Japan issue is a well-known bug. I think that they may have fixed in in 5.2.

 

[Leonel]

That's still bugged? Ugh. You can at least disable those popups by right clicking them I think.

 

[Optical]

Yeah, the beta patches fixed that.

 

[Quintillus]

Hmmkay. Perhaps it's time I try out a beta-patch, then. It is somewhat more difficult to conquer Japan this way .

OK, that worked. Whew!

And, you know your naval tech is awful when...



And those admirals were of similar skill. Two threedeckers and three frigates is enough to defeat 100 caravels? At least Portugal was scared enough that they stayed at port in Lisboa until I occupied the city. But I'm glad I challenged Portugal before Great Britain with this result!

 

[Optical]

Well, I started a Ragusa game, minly just to see what would happen. To my surprise, I've actually survived! Although a total defeat by the Ottomans meant I had to reload twenty years... which is a shame, since in that twenty years I got five cores through event, Claims on our Rivals and a Boundary Dispute

Screenshots don't seem to be behaving the way they should be, though, so nothing to show at the moment.

 

[Optical]

Alright, made some progress.

Here we go:

Nice Ragusa game, make a united Balkania.

 

[Arakhor]

I have a suspicion I was just looking at that map over at Paradox.
