How is your EU3 Game going?

yes its the rise of nations mod that lets you play ww1 and 2 and go to the year 9999. I'm king of Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary and I'm going to change my religion to to something silly like animist and become either socialist DDR or Third Reich.
 
France, this is what happens when you mess with Bohemia:

If only Castile or Ming could be balkanised like that... (Castile needs like another four or five countries inside it, and the Ming revolters are quite silly, IMO.)

Leon is about the only one I can think of. Historically, not much can be said about Spain. It was mostly Visigothic and Suebic (later succumbing to the Visigoths), then pushed into nearly a half dozen northern territories that then headed due south and/or merged with a neighboring kingdom. I've also only seen Catalonia form once.

Other rarities elsewhere in the world have been Astrakhanian Empire, and an Orthodox Golden Horde (fueled by a swath of Orthodox provinces from rebels).

Historically the Crown of Castile actually consists of separate kingdoms. Galicia (which is releasable in the game) is one. Leon is another. Toledo, Seville, Cordoba, Jaen and Murcia are also, technically, their own kingdoms, and Asturias is a principality.

How does this work? Did the rebels convert the Golden Horde to Orthodox or was Golden Horde released and became Orthodox due to having Orthodox provinces?
 
AI Brandenburg formed Germany and is the emperor...should I be scared?

I also have some other various images from the same game as Italy:

Every (pre-conquista) Spain map I look at shows Galcia, Leon, Castille, Basque, Aragon and/or Catalonia with the Moors controlling Spain.

Not sure. I know they had a huge swath of Orthodox provinces (and I'm guessing they had religious zealot problems). It might've been a game where Ming conquered all the way into Eastern Europe before collapsing.

The Crown of Castile is not technically synonymous with the Kingdom of Castile. Just as the Crown of Aragon actually consists of separate kingdoms united under one ruler (Aragon, Valencia, Naples, Sicily and so on) the Crown of Castile (which is what "Castile" in EU3 represents) describes the union of the Kingdoms of Castile and Leon (hence the flag which shows a quarterly arrangement of the arms of Castile and Leon). When the Reconquista expanded southwards, new kingdoms under the Crown of Castile were created out of the respective taifas (Seville, Jaen, Granada). In practice, they were kingdoms in name only.

Originally, why I proposed adding in new releasable countries for Castile in EU3 is that there aren't enough, and Castile (even with the Granadan and Galician cores released) is too big to be vassalised. Adding Leon, Seville, Corboda and other historical entities that existed inside the Crown of Castile at the time makes sense, IMHO.

I'm shocked that the Bohemians restricted themselves to Valenciennes. Normally they pull more dumb annexations and then lose that crap themselves in a decade or so. What patch?
 
DW 5.0, I keep getting Valenciennes due to me being the Emperor, and nobody having a core on it. I keep trying to give it to Hainault, though, as I don't want it. :p

Austrian troops are there due to Austria being my vassal and valuable ally.

EDIT: Toulouse is also independent on the Canary Islands, but has no other territory.
 
heh, I recently got a fairly short Regency Council, and during it, the only unfulfulled requirement to do the Militia Act was that the ruler needed to be a unit leader. Now that my ruler is a unit leader, I can't pass the Militia Act due to his Military skill being under 7.

I also got a 17000 man Reformed heretic rebel army in Valenciennes, which happens to be right next to Luxembourg, and Hainault, who are both Reformed heretics.
 
France 1430. Om nom nom. It is almost unfair at this point when I have 90% army tradition and beast generals running about a land tech ahead of my rivals. I plan to shape Europe up in cool ways and make Avignon da pope.

I wonder if a Basil II Byzantine Empire game would be any fun. In theory i can achieve that by 1430, and it would be a relatively strong nation. Also i would not have to bother with Africa and all those lowly provinces...
