My IN campaign as Delhi is doing pretty fine. I've already conquered Gondwana, Rajputana, and Bihar, while I currently have my eyes set on taking Orissa and Maharasthura:
Also, I'll be getting DW this evening. Can I play my campaign on it in addition to IN?

Does no one play this game anymore (aside from the multiplayer players) now that EU4 has been announced? Well, I at least still have a single-player game.And it's as the Shawnee! It's now July 1, 1566.
Map:
Spoiler :
So far, three Portuguese invasions have successfully been repelled. They landed in the New World in the late 1510s, attacking the Creek. I declined to help, due to a high probability of getting owned. But it was to no avail, as just as soon as they defeated the Creek, they DoWed my vassal, Cherokee. I got out of the war relatively easy, by un-vassaling the Cherokee.
Five years later, they invaded the Cherokee again. I declined to help in this war, too, as now I knew I would get owned. But it was to no avail, as just as soon as they defeated the Cherokee, they DoWed me. The good news was my new border with them allowed me to Westernize. The bad news was, they already were westernized, and they had 3-4 times as many troops, just in the New World. I also lacked forts, though I managed to build a couple mid-war. Guerilla warfare over six years convinced them that all they were accomplishing was losing thousands of Portuguese soldiers, in addition to their adventurous King, to attrition, and as such, their new regency eventually accepted a White Peace.
Twelve years later, they were back. This time, however, they forgot to have troops ready when the war started. So I conquered most of their New World land, and convinced Holland to bail before their guns reached me. With their allies gone, me winning a battle (with a severe numerical advantage), and a likelihood of more guerilla warfare, they accepted a concession of defeat.
Now, both sides have guns, and Land Tech 18. Portugal has about twice as many troops as before, but the Shawnee have significantly improved their manpower relative to earlier wars. Portugal's latest regency has ended, and a new and skilled Queen has taken the thrown. Shawnee expects another attack once Portugal's war weariness (thanks, Mutapa!) falls. Though in less dire straits than before, open field battles are still likely to fail, so survival is by no means guaranteed.
Compared to my last Native American game, which ended in annihilation by the Danes, I encountered the Old World much earlier. That might be good, as by the time I faced them last game, they were much more advanced, and even in the 1630's I didn't have Land Tech 18 - my army was easily vanquished. This time I've done worse at diplomacy, but better at technology and manpower, and it seems to be making a difference (knock on wood).
Noteworthy foreign happenings: French implosion due to excommunication wars, with Orleans and to a lesser extend Provence becoming the regional powers, Novgorod's impressive Russia start, and Taira vassalizing two of the other three Daimyos (I'm rooting for them actually uniting Japan - still haven't had an AI do that in one of my games).

I think people still play it, it's just this thread that hasn't been very active since EU4 was announced.

I've done it before, island nations like Malta or Ryukyu are pretty much invincible in Always War.
IN D&T there is a country called Tahiti that is a OPM island horde so it's invincible, start up the game, have it go at maximum speed and come back after work.

Twelve years ago, Tuscany graciously freed Corsica from the grip of Genoa. Corsica rejoiced, and soon after entered a royal marriage with the much larger Austrians.
Today, the Austrian king died, and now, Austria is in a personal union under Corsica. Austria is the third-most-powerful country in the HRE, after Bohemia and Brabant. Corsica controls only one province. My plans to ally with Austria? Hopeless.

Seeing Corsica inherit Austria would be worthy of a Hall of Fame submission I think.

If it happens, I'll let you know. I'm guessing this hall of fame you are talking about is on one of the Paradox boards? I think I signed up for them at one point, but I don't think I've posted anything there.
I recently was playing Muscowy to compare strategies to my Novgorod game, and generally go with opposite sliders from what I usually do. I've also been fairly involved in foreign wars, paying a relatively low tribute to the Golden Horde for 30+ years, while they keep my neighbors weak and generally make up for how pitiful the Timurids have been this game. They recently occupied nearly all of Poland-Lithuania, clear through Poznan. A very scary, but ostensibly friendly, horde.
Then I learned that the AI Hordes will actually declare war on you on their own accord and break the tribute if they decide you aren't paying enough.
It probably also is a factor that they are at peace with the whole world, and perhaps that my manpower is nearly depleted 
. It's looking like it might be quite the scramble, even with a Liberum Veto possibility, and especially with no serious Horde treaties expiring for 4.5 years. Hopefully Poland will go broke again!

I re-discovered this game after installing it on my new laptop.
Right now, it is 1648. I am Navarra. That tiny little OPM in Basque country. And I own the overwhelming majority of South America. I also own the Caribbean. I have various islands throughout the world, and am working on Australia. My income is ridiculously high right now, easily 4x that of the next best in France, but my manpower is only 43k max. Compared to hundreds of thousands on the big powers. In this game, they are as follows. Bohemia, France, Great Britain, Muscowy, and Castille to some degree. Also, I managed to eliminate inflation in my nation.
Muscowy is 90% of the way to getting Russia (and has been for years), but Novgorod had a good early game and both countries took large amounts of Siberia and Asia. Novgorod is basically dead now, but not fully annexed.
Scandinavia formed really really early. The Swedish managed to core Oslo by 1500 or so, and formed Scandinavia then. Wars forced Denmark and Norway out of the nation, leaving is just Sweden again. They made some progress back into Norway, but Denmark is still independent.
Great Britain formed early as well. Early Scottish wars led to annexation instead of vassalage. They are really annoying as they keep colonizing everywhere. Also, they went Reformed. The only non-Catholic in this game really.
Bohemia and Austria both were fed Miracle-Gro or something, as they have gone crazy-big both, taking large parts of central to east Europe.
Vijayangar actually is doing quite well over in India. Pretty much the entire subcontinent is united. The only problem would be the French and British colonies that tend to pop up over there.
N. America is melting pot of colonies and natives. Austria and Castille split Creek. Holland, Modena, Flanders, Portugal, Hansa, and even Norway (vassal to France) have colonies there. Mostly Quebec region though. So, meh.
Africa pretty much followed suit.

Who needs manpower? With an income like that, you can hire enough mercs to save you.
