How is your EU3 Game going?

[Tee Kay]

If you don't have Divine Wind, get Divine Wind. It's the latest expansion and makes the game 20% cooler.

While I realise the joke, it's probably around 30%

The game starts in 1453 are the Ottomans raging trough Europe?

If Historical Lucky Nations is on and the player doesn't screw the Ottomans near the start, then they rampage through the Balkans.

I have the Europa Universalis III Complete from Steam so maybe I have it. How do I check?

Edit: I found out that I hae only the Nomine and Napoleons Ambition expantions.

 

[SamSniped]

Nope, you are like me and with up to In Nomine. You need to buy and download Divine Wind to play with that expansion.

 

[Arakhor]

If you're 'only' up to Complete, buy Heir to the Throne and Divine Wind or simply get Chronicles and have all five at once.

There is a steam sale on at the moment so now is the time to get it (Maybe wait till 10 AM PDT to see if there are deeper savings)

I've been playing EU 3 for a long time but have never finished a single game. I am losing focus after playing a few centuries. That's why now trying MEIOU and Death & Taxes mods. I hope i will finish my first game in a couple of weeks.

That's normal.

Try DAO and don't blob like usually people do with historical lucky nations
Really, if you play slower and more reallistically you'll notice your games can last more.
Or, try something new, like building a solid empire and then changing to another country

My strategy for making games last a while is starting as a piss-poor one province minor and working up to become a giant, like in my Leinster -> Ireland game.

 

[Saxony]

Well started a game with Castile, allied with Portugal at war with Grenada trying to create Spain and find America. How do I take screenshots in EUIII?

 

[cardgame]

Shift F12 or something silly like that. Google knows.

 

[Optical]

Screenshot: F11
World map: F12
World map showing only you and your vassals: Shift+F12

A word to the wise, the last two are absolutely huge, being thousands of pixels across and bitmaps.

 

[hoplitejoe]

Yeah, I change them to PNG before uploading.

 

[Duke of Britain]

Yeah, I change them to PNG before uploading.

That's what everyone should do.

 

[Arakhor]

I use Paint.net to turn them into 90% JPGs or so. It's vastly more useful than MS Paint.

Set up game challenges such as form countries and hop around, I think my record in D&T was 30.

 

[cardgame]

Form Italy... release Urbino. Play as Urbino. Form Italy.

Form Italy... release Urbino. Play as Urbino. Form Italy.

I did that... as Mantua...
