How is your EU3 Game going?

[Northen Wolf]

Inheriting only gives cores on provinces in the same culture group and on provinces inside the HRE when the inherited and the inheriting nations are members.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing this! So As GBR I'd get free cores if I'd inherit Scotland or American Independent nations (That are not going to happen in this game, altho I've never played further than 1650's)

Bohemia's at it again! You should give British Turkey to the Byzantines and make them a formidable power too.

No Flippin' way. Byzantines took parts of mamluks lands to themselves. They took parts of Ottoman Empire to themselves. They are at war with Vythingy (Indian nation) and are winning. Entire Mediterranean Sea Rightfully belongs to Great Britain. No nation will stand in my way. Byzantines are going down, once I remove filthy kingdoms of Portugal and Spain from my rightful colonies.

Funny thing is, that Bohemia inherited Ukraine and Poland, Ukrain later revolted (when Bohemia got several bad events and was at quite large war). Take a look at 1500 screenshot and see Bohemias size there (he now has cores on most of his provinces).

Bohemia has been in constant fight over HRE Emperor position and gained craploads of provinces, while leading HRE. Interesting is that, Bohemia has not been flagged as "scum" yet (they have lower BB rating than I do).

EDIT

I like that Ukraine, especially since it's not in the Ukraine for 50%

Bohemia vassal-integrated it. Bohemia then got several poor stability events and was at large war with teotonic order and some russkies. Then part of Ukraine revolted.

ARGHHH! you don't own entire France?

btw, don't destroy the byzantines, it's very rare for them to get this strong...
and useless African lands much?

France - No casus Belli'es, Too high Infamy, Am more focused on Arabic areas, before Holy War casus belly disappears.

Byz- We'll see, I'll probably take Constantinople and other lands, that rightfully belong to Great Britain.

Africa - What makes a "province" useless? I just annexed native tribes + arabians then colonized as much as possible to stop others from colonizing. Same in USA and in Australia.

African provinces are very poor...if you want any then pick the gold ones...especially from the animists in south-east Africa

but then how you would be able to play ULM?!?!? if you don't get DW Ulm will get angry because you don't play with him, and you know what can happen next

But Ulm does not know I exist, and does not exist, so he cannot possibly get angry

 

[Northen Wolf]

Ulm always exists! And you do know who controls Ulm.

21 Years has passed. Bohemia nuked power of Byzantines, altho they are still larger than they usual. Bohemia absorbed Ukraine and it's OPM now. Both SpainCastille and Portugal are getting annoying, but they are both "guaranteer-ing" eachother. I'd rather not wage two colonial wars. SpainCastille is kinda getting it's colonies wiped off the map thanks to being war with Orissa, ming and Wu (both china nations are waaaay behind on tech tree tho, around land tech lv 16 vs 26..

I gained 3 provinces in India and 3 more near india. There is just 1 Persian province that can access the Mediterranean sea. So it's almost completly muslim-nation free, thanks to me taking control of Syrian Mediterranean provinces. .

My Medium term Goals (next 20 years):
Take control of Entire Arabian Peninsula.
Integrate Swhahili (What determinates whatever nation agrees to integrate or not).

Medium-Long term goals (next 40 years)
Take control of Portugal and Spain Castille Colonies. (This will give entire America under my control. Probably entire Australia New-zeeland too.)
Invade to East Asia (Manchu territory).
Take control of Indian Peninsula.
Remove minor provinces from ex-France territory (Total 8 provinces).

That's Castille, not Spain. Did Spain exist at one point or has it only ever been Castille in this game?

Sorry for that, it's fixed now.

I don't think Spain has existed. I did beat castille once and forced it to release Granada and Galica, altho Galicia was conquered shortly after it was released. Since then Castille has been reduced to three province minor by Portugal-Aragon alliance, then Aragon went in war with several nations and Castille reconquered its provinces from Aragon. Shortly after that, Castille conquered most of Portugal.

This apparently slowed those two colonizating monsters down significantly, allowing me to colonize most of the world.

I vassalized !Christianized! Granada and its province of Andalucia in around 1520. Don't remember whetever through war or through peace. And Andalucia is one of the provinces Castille requires to form Spain. I've been keeping Granada as Vassal, because I don't want to station an army/fleet there in case of Castille's invasion.

Lol@England in your game

it's like that in every game, unless the player colonizes almost everything, or the AI gets smart when colonizing.

Integrate Swhahili (What determinates whatever nation agrees to integrate or not).

how will you integrate swahili? war? because unless they revolted as catholics they are animists or muslims. you need to have a royal marriage with your vassal in order to diplo-annex them.

 

[Civ'ed]

Why, it's Syndic Stadtrat!
(actually Svip was wrong on that one. Stadtrat is City Council, and it's basically like the Tagsatzung of Switzerland)

They revolted as catholics. I married with their leader, then claimed throne and forced them into PU. Ethiopia revolted as Orthodox, because Byzantines once had one province there and managed to convert it. Most ottoman lands are catholic or orthodox (that is hindering my conquest progress) and their state and province religions are different, so many [insert religion here] fanatic uprisings.

Many nations have revolted as catholics from underneath of non-catholic provinces. I have like 20+ catholic/orthodox OPM's in non catholic areas, And some of those OPM's have province with religion that is different from state religion (how could that happen?) For an example I have one province nation in New Zealand that has catholic as state religion but only one province, that is not catholic. There are no catholics around it, other than Castille and Castille is 2 provinces away from that nation and not even fully converted yet. So it's odd.

I think you are wrong, at least some part of Ulm is controlled by my nation!

 

[W|M]

I managed to form Hindustan in 1454, and going on a conquering spree throughout India using Reconquest CBs!

 

[Yui108]

I think my next eu 3 game will be hindustan, it looks fun

 

[Kyriakos]

Good work West India Man

Still this means it is too easy, i need something else

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Try conquering the Balkans with Bosnia, I dare you

 

[Kyriakos]

Have you done it in DW? Bosnia starts as an ottoman vassal, and i do not know what happens if you break the vassalage- do the ottomans declare war on you?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Only managed to conquer like 50% of the Balkans in DW, I start in 1409,I think, a brief period where your not a vassal
