How is your EU3 Game going?

The provinces are weirdly shaped because historical borders weren't all roughly square or rectangular. :rolleyes:

I particular like the border of Troyes-something, on the eastern border with France/Burgundy.

I am aware of that; I just think that MEIOU takes it too far to the extreme to look pleasing.
D&t/DAO is a nice compromise between MEIOU's warped borders and vannila's boxy, rectangular-ovalish borders.
The V2/Steppe Wolf map is also a nice compromise.
 
New 5.2 beta:

- The dynasty trigger now accepts a dynasty name as an argument
- The define_ruler effect now accepts THIS, FROM, and TAG as valid arguments for its dynasty.

WOW!
The modding community will love this!

And i myself will love to see the mods using these things :D
 
A few years later, just out of a big war against Jalayrids and Hungary. Signed white peace with Hungary after controlling three of their provinces and annihilating two of their armies, then took two provinces from the Bagdad-based civ, forcing them also to annul their treaty with Hungary.

Currently allied with France. France is first in GNP (despite having stability of 1...) with 1900 ducats. I am fourth, at 1600 ducats, but i have only 2 stability, and should be easily second if i had full stability, like England and Castille.

The game is slowly becomming interesting...

Also spot the Pope playing colony games in britain and Denmark...
 
Now my good ol' France is pretty well developed, I have a tech lead in Land and Government and keeping relative parity in other areas except Navy. I took over Armor, Hainaut, Logrinthian and a province from Switzerland. Luxembourg was also annexed and I just got a mission to attack Milan, so my armies are marching there to crush it. I have a couple colines in North America, but they're fairly new and aren't contributing anything to the economy.

Is it just me or is Sweden monstrous as well as the Ottomans?
 
Ottomans successful? Maybe the world does do it right sometimes...
 
You'd think that after conquering half of Russia, not to mention Arabia, that the Ottomans would have at least overrun an OPM in a strategic position with bad tech and a different religion, which they had Holy War on. :rolleyes:

I haven't done much yet in this game apart from trading, building buildings, giving miltary access to everyone and sponsoring a patriot rebel doomstack when thanks to Burgundy being at war with Trier and occassion for doing so arose (In an environment of 2PMs, 11k is a lot) that spent most of its time sieging Koblenz, taking it, sieging Worms, losing Koblenz to Mainz (Trier was already dead, half defected to me and half conquered by Mainz who got Claims on their rivals in like 1405 already why I still haven't gotten any claims after 35 years of a Diplo 8 leader, and not a single boundary dispute either), taking Worms, going back to Koblenz, losing Worms to Palpatine, etc. Eventually they managed to collapse Mainz though, took Pfalz but unfortunately, after they had been so obsessed with Worms previously, marched off to Alsace instead (who defected), then to Baden and then to Switzerland where they died. Oh well.
Anyway, what's more interesting is that Iberia. An Iberia in which 9 (not counting Foix) different nations have provinces. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Also pleasant is the lack of Castillian North Africa.
What I dislike is having a mission to vassalize Ansbach, who is Allied with me, my lovely light blue neighbor my rebels were to stupid to take over and Thuringia and guaranteed by me, Baden, Bavaria, Brunswick, Hesse, Cologne, Pommerania, Thuringia, Würzburg, Württemberg, Utrecht and the Hansa. Surely I could take these nations and the allies Utrecht (who, thanks to another early claims on their rivals, what's with Theocracies and that event?, is rather scary) or Bavaria would bring in with my 5 mainly grain-producing provinces, but considering how much work that would be... rather not. :sad: Oh, they're in Austria's sphere, too.
 
I'm still doing very well I feel in my France game, I annexed the Hurons in North America, got a core in Castille (Alicante iirc) from an event on so I took a couple provinces from them. My GNP is #1, inflation is nonexistent and I just adopted an idea to lower infamy an extra point/year for a total of 2.5 points/year lost. Sweden is still monstrous and the British Isles are a bit less unified right now.

Also, my tech is pretty much the highest as far as I can tell, I'm getting little to no neighbor bonuses and my gov and land technologies are 15 years ahead of time or something like that.
 
The problem with this game is that after you become #1 there is little more to do other than destroying all the competitors. But even that takes around 50 years to achieve, and then you are left with 300 years of doing pretty much nothing...
 
After playing Death and Taxes, default Divine Wind graphics make me sick.

I don't mind the terrain graphics (they've very pretty), but I never realised how much of a difference Minefield's map filter makes to the game. The default shields are so bright!

My eyes arghhhh.

This, this is an abomination and must be put to death


Kill it, kill it with FIRE
 
:eek:

So... Holland formed Belgium, then united Japan? Wow.
 
More France, this time 1683, I got a bit bored but noticed I had a wonderful Imperialism CB on everybody. So I decided to take my wrath out on Switzerland, who had never done anything wrong but had been the victim of circumstance. In any case, my army marched in, they were annexed and peace was quickly made with Bavaria, netting me another province. Also, before this I had annexed Aragon (I hated the stupid little red in the southwest, it had to go). Other than that though, no real developments.

But now Sundagu is in my otherwise contiguous France, I'll have to think about getting rid of that...
