How is your EU3 Game going?

[Chukchi Husky]

I still think that more people should try the Byzantine Empire

That was the last game I played.

I got my EU running and I have an interesting game as Vijangar (or whatever it's called). I've been acting like the india ai and have conquered Bengal, Arakan, Calicut province (rest of Mysore = Deccan), Travancore, and have crippled Gondwana to an OPM. As soon as the truce is over someone's gonna fall . Still at war with rajputana.

I started the game as Morocco by making an army (first objective to gain a bit of prestige, but I reduced my maintenance fees for now) and increasing my stability enough to make enough money to bribe Castille. I'm only 10 years into the game but yeah, focusing on bribes. Not sure it'll do anything. Everything I do turns out to be a stupid idea in this game anyway. My mid-term goal is to control the whole of North Africa, but I'm not sure about how to proceed. I have to get casus belli on my neighbours and attack them probably before the crusades destroy them. Because I'm guessing it'll be easier to tackle Tunis Algiers and company than to tackle North African Castille? Eh.

Bribe Portugal too.

And if they have a mission to conquer you ("Reconquista in Africa" or something) no amount of bribes is going to help.

It seems they all have something of the sort, or something about infidels. Or "Capture Tangiers"...

 

[chegel]

You can always delete or deactivate these missions if it is impossible to succeed as Morocco otherwise...
Or, you could try gifting Tangiers to some random christian country in the very beginning. This way neither Portugal nor Castille/Spain should get any missions in north africa. You can always reconquer it later in the game, after having westernized using your new western neighbor.

Morocco can be a good trading nation.

Morocco can be a good trading nation.

Or even Naval.

Great avatar!

Great avatar!

Thanks

I have been playing various HTTT games: Taungu, Morocco, Milan and France, and my Morocco game was my first one as Morocco. I totally freaked when Portugal DoWed. Not because of Galicia who joined in the fun.
And today I realized I could have sunk their navy.
I was fully naval. 9000 cavalry in Marrakech, my starting army in Morea.

Not my empire, but I have two strange screenshots from a game I was playing as the Ottomans. Images spoilered for size.

Spoiler :

King Kestusis II von Luxembourg of Lithuania. Under a personal union with Ryazan.

Spoiler :

King Ivan V Rurikovich of Ryazan. Leads personal union with Lithuania.

Ryazan's king leads Lithuania in a personal union, but apparently the Lithuanians didn't like that and kept their own but still swore allegiance to Ryazan. Lithuania has been under Ryazan for at least ten years too - strange they haven't broken off.

Craziness.

Also, I'm a big fan of your avatar.

 

[Civ'ed]

Aukrest, that is seriously odd. I suggest you end this misformed Union and destroy Lithuania!

 

[Civ'ed]

On other notes...
I've been playing the Rising Nations Mod 2010 start as the USA. Captured various caribbean islands, and vassalized Cuba, ending communism in the Americas.
Obama died on the 15th of april 2012. He was commander of the Antilles wars*, the new president took control of Cuban ops.
I'm planning to attack mexico with my 39 regiment SoD and another few.

*three separate wars in which Jamaica, St.Kitts and Barbados? I can't remember fought the USA. Jamaica and St.Kitts were easy, credit to some particularists.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Must download that mod, conquer the Balkans with Bosnia

 

[Kyriakos]

That map looks excellent

I guess they edited some provinces/created new ones?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Can someone reupload the mod for me, the EUIII forum link doesn't work

 

[aukrest]

I would, but Emperor Bohemia holds land between my location and theirs. I just westernised so I'm getting everything back into sorts and preparing for an inevitable holy war on me by either Austria or Bohemia. Austria called a crusade on me so that just makes things so much better

They replaced all the wasteland provinces with provinces shaped so that one can form the 2010 country borders for each specific nation.

The reason it doesn't work is because you need to be a registered user of their games to be able to download mods. Just sign up for the forum and register a Paradox game and you're all good!

I've been playing the same mod as Turkey, conquering tracts of land from the ottomans, Israelis, Normal Palestines*, Lebanese, Greeks (in this game, Kyrakios would come from Turkey), Bulgarians and Iraqis.
I'll post the map tomorrow.
* there are two Palestines: Hamas and non-Hamas.
