Which mod is that? Death and Taxes?

 

[SouthernKing]

It's a mod called OOT (Orbis Terrestrium something) that is base D&T, but adds Atlantis, Mu, Lemuria, R'lyeh, etc. to the map. Fun, worth playing.

Occultus Orbis Terrestre

I finally did it! I formed Italy!
I started as Milan in EU3 IN v3.2, warned a few nations, and ended up by 1430 with The Papal States diplo-annexed after getting the mission to Incorporate X and I got the free core that way. Ancona was annexed in 1408, I already owned one needed province at the start, and Firenze was mine in 1428. I also ended up with most of Italy being mine; Savoy, Liguria, and Naples vassalized; Sicily was taken down by Aragon (whom I banished from Palmero and Malta ); Algiers (after being attacked by the Ottomans, a 3PM), Tripoli, and Tunisia I used as a land-grab and took their non-capital provinces and vassalized them; Venezia I finally took down before becoming Italy after getting a mission to take them out; and I got colonies up to cities in The Canaries and the provinces that are in the middle of North Africa that pretty much defy the Permanent Terra Incognita, and now I plan to go after the weakened Mamluks because of a mission I have to capture Judaea- with a reward of (IIRC) 40 prestige and 1000 DUCATS!

Now do it with Mantua.

 

[SamSniped]

XD. I forgot to mention that I removed Ferrara and Manuta from the map, too

 

[SamSniped]

Sorry for double post, but is a cultural shift form becoming Italy worth the -5 stability hit?

 

[Dachs]

In IN 3.2 stab is cheap. The decision should be trivial.

 

[Duke of Britain]

In IN, anything is cheap, conquest, stability, infamy doesn't matters...

Hell, my first proper EUIII game had me as Austria annex everything that moved whiout even noticing

 

[Tee Kay]

Yeah, but you were playing Austria, ie. the most ridiculously overpowered country ever.

That's almost as impressive as blobbing as France

 

[SamSniped]

I think the AI Austria only allowed me to take Trent for a mission I was doing while all of their main force was fighting Bohemia

 

[Duke of Britain]

True, Austria was insane, that's why i didn't even knew what i was doing

Anyway, since then i have avoided doing that kind of thing, makes for way too short and boring games.

 

[Antilogic]

Starting with two gold provinces just gives you so much money.

 

[madviking]

Starting with two gold provinces just gives you so much money.

And two more are right next door.

 

[SamSniped]

Unless Milan takes them

 

[madviking]

Well, the first move I always did as playing Austria was to rape Aquileia thoroughly.

 

[SamSniped]

As Milan in EU3 IN, I always warn with the auto 5 diplomats I get:
Naples
Sicily
Aquileia
The Papal States
Venice

I get at least 1 CB in the first few days of the game
