How is your EU3 Game going?

I took 4 of his provinces in an earlier war causing me to have to wait 50 years for them. =( I lost most of the infamy from that acquisition and my Portugal provinces by completing the reconquinista against Morocco.
I'm still new to the game btw so I didn't realize I'd get cores on inherited provinces.

In Divine Wind, this only works if you're in the same culture group. So as Castile you'll get cores from inheriting Aragon but not, say, France.
Does it work that way in HTTT? I'm hoping to inherit France in a few years!
There is so much of the game that's undocumented or not updated in the wiki it makes it difficult to learn all of the intricacies of the game without massive amounts of trial and error (which is why I've restarted several times already).
Or if you're an HRE member and are inheriting provs in the HRE.

In HTTT you still get cores for inheriting France IIRC.
However, it'd be more difficult to inherit France since they're not part of your culture group. Even more difficult if they have more prestige and provinces than you.
Indeed. I'm still learning.
France has been broken up pretty good by losing wars to England and Burgundy. Burgundy is blobbing a little bit, but I'm much bigger than them - though their army is comparable to mine. France's prestige, as a result, is super low.
I took advantage of England in an earlier war as well and decimated most of their troops when they sent them to mainland Europe. I forced them to release Cornwall and Wales and Cornwall has sieged half of England's remaining provinces!!
I've almost got Trade tech 7 and am going to switch my NI to QFTNW as soon as possible to start colonizing overseas. With England a mess and Portugal as my vassal I shouldn't have much competition!

Hindustan 1534. The world is wacky.

Another game as the Byzantine empire...
Currently allied to Hungary, who are reliable but weak, and to Castille, who betray me on a regular basis...
The real problem is Austria though, particularly Austrian Georgia. They have a far better army than me, and i hope they go to war with Persia so i can attack.

All glory to Yaroslavl!

Interesting how Prussia formed that early, and who controls most of Sweden?

That would be Hansa. The scourge of the north!
Yes, it is the Hansa. Sweden resurrected at some point, but then fell again.
Austria must have 100% infamy, but no one declares war on it. Instead it goes on declaring, currently it is against the Ukraine and Yaroslavl.
At least now i have Stratiotai cavalry, so i stand a chance in a war against them.
Also my current mission is to annex Venice, and "hang the Doge from his own walls"

Sweet Jesus, I have never seen Yaroslavl get that large!
Also interesting to see Prussia formed.

Sorry, I wasn't listening...
Here's the map for my Manchu game, currently 1684 right now.
I got extremely lucky in this game. The expanded rapidly into the steppes, constantly getting into long wars with the nomad countries. Eventually, something must have snapped, because they started losing ground, and they got swamped with rebels. I decided the time was right, and swept into northern China. I avoided the huge Ming armies that were playing wack-a-mole with the rebels, and I managed to form the Army of the Green Standard, so that gave me a little more weight to throw around. Eventually I got a good peace deal, and the Wu broke off of the Ming. They managed to maintain their independence, and I allied with them. Together, we gobbled up the Ming, until it was just the two of us. Knowing that there can be only one Son of Heaven, I repeatedly whipped them in a couple wars and established myself as the only dynasty in China
After this, I did stuff like colonize Siberia and the Pacific. I pushed the nomads back, but didn't get carried away like the Ming did. I was stuck in a Personal Union with Champa for a while shortly after I beat the Wu
After that, I subjugated Shan and Dai Vet, and forced Tangu to become Confucian.
While I was busy fighting in China and Southeast Asia, Europe has been chaotic. Burgundy and France have been in numerous wars, and somewhere in the middle of it all Normandy became independent. Burgundy got a chunk of Scotland, while it has been steadily losing ground to France. Iberia is a mess. Navarre and Castille are usually two-province minors, while Granada and Aragon dominate the rest of Iberia. England conquered chunks of Portugal, but rebellions are causing these lands to defect. Galicia and Swedish Iberia are also notable.
The HRE is a mess as well. Bohemia, Austria, and Hesse have been juggling the Emperorship over the years, just enough so that neither one of them could gain any significant amount of power. The Baltic coast has been a strange sight. At one point the TO, Prussia, and Kourland existed at the same time. Oldenburg and Holland have joined Armagnac in colonizing the New World, adding to the ridiculousness.
The Ottomans have been pretty much bulldozing through Europe. They've had less luck fighting England for dominance over North Africa. The English have really had a strong presence in Africa, but with recent unstability England is losing its hold on Africa, and it appears as though Aragon may become the new dominant power in the region. In Crimea and Ukraine the Ottomans have taken root. An odd Christian Tartar Zaporozhye has remained in the region for quite some years now, and I have no idea where it came from.
Georgia and Moscowy have been steadily pushing east. Boring, but intimidating.
Colonization has been a mess. Every European and his brother has a stake in the New World, and Africa hasn't been immune to this effect either. The main colonial powers right now are Grenada, Sweden, England, and Holland, with Armagnac and Oldenburg occasionally popping up. Minamoto colonized and conquered parts of Africa before Japan was unified. But after shortly after Japan was unified it lost a war with Holland, and a new Minamoto has proclaimed independence in Africa. India used to be in serious danger of losing independence to Sweden, England, and Grenada, but Europe's affinity for chaos has allowed numerous rebellions and Indian coalitions to push the Europeans out of the heart of India.
So yeah, the world outside of China is a fractured and chaotic place, just as it should be ;P
EDIT: Yes, Jalayirids in Central Asia.

Resized. Also, forgot to mention the Sunni Byzantines in Crete.
The great war to end all wars finally came against Austria, while they were fighting (and being destroyed) in the western front against France.
I was doing well, facing little to no resistance, then France agreed to Peace under the condition that Austria releases Georgia. Probably a good outcome, since France can guarantee Georgia's independence better than me for the time being.
The rest of the war was not that well-planned, the Austrian resurrected parts of their army, and it was time for peace. It happened with the miserable tribute of 25 ducats on my side.
Sadly Austria had managed to secure most of the Ukraine by then. It will have to be liberated in a future war

Ninja Dude that map is probably the weirdest one I have ever seen, nothing makes sense!
