What happened to Greece?
I'm not sure but Thrace has changed hands more times than I can count.
How is your EU3 Game going?

I looked and I do not have a screenshots folder in the EUIII folder in Paradox.... it is also not in the Rome one as well. Where else could it wind up?
If you're using Vista or Window7 check the competibility files tab.

It is probably obvious but I don't understand computers that well, where can I find this compatibility files tab?

Found them. Thanks! Will post some pics of my Empire soon.

I have taken some pictures including what I though were some World View pictures. So I looked in the file and found my pictures, unfortunately I have all of them but the World View ones, like those that show the entire world and who owns what in it. I pressed F12 through F10 and got nothing, but local pictures of wherever I was looking at the moment.
I tried shift-F12-F10 as well and got nothing... please help. I have a Windows 7 and X-Fire. Thanks.

So...apparently the game I posted earlier had a map cache error that decreased the colonial distances allowing me to grab up a ton of SA that I shouldn't have been able to get yet....
...sigh....
I'll have to restart again.....

Hordes are hard as hell to play. Every year you get 30 pretender regiments rising up. Don't even try conquering China they have stacks of doom.

My vassals: The 2-province muslim state in Spain, Scotland (want to diplo-annex), Orleans, Holland.
My recent wars: Defeated Bohemia (HRE emperor), made him to retake latest imperial reform. Defeated Spain (self-defense as he attacked my vassal in spain), defeated France + vassals (with 24 unit cavalry army + 6 infantry), all that with only portugal as my ally.
It's normal difficulty, so is it normal to beat armies and countries that have 3 times as many soldiers as you do + his OPM vassals with ease? No lucky nations.
Low legitimicy cuz for some odd reason, my king died and his heir did not enter onto the the throne, instead now I share family-line with some of the small nations in HRE.
Hordes can't take land from anybody except for other hordes.

Works fine for me both on chrome and firefox... even through a proxy (2012.ws).
Edit: PrinceScamp, sry about that 'cheats issue' we had earlier. My mistake.

Unlike every other image in this thread, it doesn't work at all in Opera, which is weird.
And no hard feelings.

It works for me (firefox), maybe your browser just sucks

Then how does one conquer the entire world as a horde as they have in AARs? It seems stupid to limit land grabbing and defeats the purpose of being a war machine.

Hey Guys,
Over Christmas steam had a Paradox sale.. 35+ games for $75 or something crazy like that.. I bought it mainly cause I kept seeing cool maps from EU3 posted all over the forums here.
Could somebody point me to some sort of a tutorial though? I have some things figured out - how to fight battles, how to annex, how to do diplomacy, etc. But I think I am missing something because none of my games have gone anywhere. I seem to suck, especially in terms of my economy. What's a bit confusing is how you lose money each month, but then get a bunch of money at the end of the year.. bit confusing, but I've gotten used to it.. sort of.
What's a good country to play a beginner game as? I tried playing as England.. conquered ireland and scotland, but got kicked out of Europe proper by France and it didn't really go anywhere after that. I obviously tried playing as Poland, right from the beginning, and .. how do I unite with Lithuania? I never got an option to peacefully merge into one country with them. Maybe I gave up too early? I also tried a game as Bavaria - I invaded and annexed the surrounding kingdoms.. which backfired on me when Austria got annoyed and liberated everyone with some help from Bohemia
Any help will be greatly appreciated

I had the exact same problems when I first started the game. In my experience the key to managing an economy, especially in an early game, is to be as cheap as you can possibly be. Bring down your military budget and disband unnecessary units in times of peace. Build production and trade improvements (slowly) in your higher output territories. Send your merchants out to monopolize CoTs, starting with one or two closest to your home provinces, then branch out the more valuable ones (anything with trade value closest to 1000 can be a gold mine.

I have been sending out merchants, but don't really understand the merchant system.
As for the army.. Yeah, right of the bat I usually build tons of units so that I can take one of my neighbours over.. Bad idea?
How can I build production and trade improvements though? I've tried but don't have the necessary tech (or whatever it is) to build anything at the beginning

What version are you playing?
Go to the official forum for AARs and guides and this wiki for gameplay information. But always pay attention to the game version the information is for.
Personal unions you can inherit everytime your ruler dies. So it is a matter of luck and patience. In the latest expansion, Divine Wind, you can integrate a lesser partner after 50 years or so I think if you did not inherit him in this time.
I like Portugal as a country for beginners because you are in a safe position and can focus on trade and colonization. Castille and England are good too.
If the game is not going anywhere it is yours to change that. There are no goals in the game (beside achievements in DW) so you have to set some for yourself.
