How is your EU3 Game going?

[Laurynaslt]

Mazovian road to domination.
In first 5 years Castilia inherited Portugal ^.^

Spoiler :

Bohemian - Teuton war
During war i saw an opportunity and maybe my only chance to get some land from teutons. So i declared war on them and built as many units as possible and after Bohemians and Teotons made peace, i occupied all the their land and took Danzing and Warmia. Hungary destroyed Poland and Lithuania.

Spoiler :

Ottoman took most of the Golden Hords land, but soon they were owned by Castilia and England, after that they callapsed.

Spoiler :

Finished off Prussians, Burgundy annexed France. Hungury took land from Bohemia.

Spoiler :

Last provinces of Poland was taken over by Mazovia, also took core from Hungary. Milan took a lot of provinces north from Syria

Spoiler :

Burgundy somehow managed to collapse(did nothing to them ^^). Milan lost most of its lands in the east. Mazovia - still growing.

Spoiler :

HRE in 1752, looks like i pushed east europe to the west lol...

Those are some of the ugliest maps I've ever seen.

I'll just say that everyone who isn't playing MMU is playing the game wrong.

I'll just say that everyone who isn't playing MMU is playing the game wrong.

And I'll second this

Which is? I'm currently playing Death and Taxes, love the new Manufactory set up

 

[Civ'ed]

how did Catalunya even appear without Aragon?

 

[W|M]

Catalunya appears after a certain date instead of Aragon if trying to revolt from Spain.

Magna Mundi Ultimate mod (caution; doesn't work with Divine Wind though).

It is of no use to man or beast then, is it.

 

[SouthernKing]

The new Magna Mundi standalone looks terrible (although, I have chronicles too, so I don't know how good the mod was)

The Graphics? They have yet to show any screens with the new graphics update Paradox gave them. The game play looks awesome.
The mod was more about being plausible then complete sandbox. World conquests are impossible for example.

I look forward to the game as the mod has quite a few limitations due to being a mod.

I have Chronicles so whatever

You can't play MM since you can't use older expansions.

For the sake of your soul´s redemption I´ll take it you wanted to say "terrific".

Yeah, the alpha graphics they´ve shown could use some improvement, but compared to how goddamn ugly EU3 was upon release, they are great!

Heres my german empire

Personal Unions rock I inherited 2/3 of my territory and now I only need Baden Münster and Cleves to have all Germany in my realm. And Aquilia to have nice southern borders. I actually also owned Ösel and Estonia, but they made my borders look ugly and they are poor and have a high revolt risk....also they are not German

My high infamy is due to having just taken most of Aquilias territory as well as annexing Venice, my low legitimacy is because I just switched to constitutional monarchy.

France got gobbled up after one war I had with them awhile ago, After all their armies were beaten and I had forced them to release a few vassal all their neighbours attacked them.

Here is the Iberian mess, Prussia actually owned two provinces in the middle of Aragon which I sold to Aragon when I inherited Prussia. Castille has been completely annihilated and their new capital is that African province below Algiers.

Granada is christian and colonising in the new world and Algiers well...

I did a doubletake when that showed up(I know its earlier than the other pictures but they are still christian).

And heres a world map

Astrakhan(dark blue) revolted a long time ago from the Golden Horde and has since assumed their place as terror of the east. Sweden is doing really well and I dont want to expand any more into Denmark since it would be nice if Sweden annexed them and created Scandinavia. And the Ottomans are doing somewhat well. They were at one time completely occupied by Epirus but is seems Epirus got backstabbed by byzantium.

Outside my Central Europe I'm rooting for Granada and Scotland to colonize alot of the new world and its not the Castillian yellow you see over there

 

[Duke of Britain]

Dat map

Well, nice empire, and it's good to see a Aragon that almost formed Spain

 

[Civ'ed]

Bosniugoslavia anyone?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Yay Über Bosnia

Divine Wind 5.1, hard difficulty, low aggressiveness, no lucky nations, minimal save scumming

The great Empire of Songhai in 1525

This is after westernizing to Muslim tech, modernizing the military and becoming an Empire (-14 Stability back to back to back).
I inherited Mali (minus four provinces I conquered before) and Hausa after forcing PUs. How fortunate that there is only one culture in sub-saharan Africa so all the provinces were cored.
I hope I will discover the province next to Sierra Leone soon, there is apparently European imperialist scum settling on my continent. The plan is to control all of Africa and defend it against European colonisers while staying in Muslim tech.

 

[uat2d]

The Golden Horde and Bohemia are seem to be doing quite well for themselves as well.

 

[Quintillus]

Racsoviale - That's some Algiers! I like that they're powerful, though. Successful North African states are good.

uat2d - Bohemia I'd agree with but I suspect they're doing well at the expense of the Horde. Though the Horde does seem to have done well in earlier times.

General - I don't really get the obsession with "ugly" maps. To a certain extent, yes, you don't want spaghetti borders for your country, but what's so bad about having Champagne, France, Orleans, and Guyenne all somewhat close in power? Or many other "ugly" borders? "Pretty" borders for their own sake seems like a silly goal.
