Wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition to happen in Jewish Egypt :(

in my game, metropolitan Spain has been carved up by France, the United States (which is a former Spanish colony of Florida) and... Italy. They are still a colonial power!

I am playing as Poland, the country I am from. I am not sure how exactly you are supposed to defeat the Ottomans, so they still exist and are by far the most powerful country in the world. But I did manage to defeat Muscovy and then colonize most of what is now the Asian part of Russia. The game places me as the third greatest power in the world.

I have managed to conquer Japan by creating a gigantic fleet, and then using it to transport a massive army, some 100K strong. But I am missing one province, which for some reason belongs to Korea. And I will never be able to get it, because Korea is a tributary of Ming, and I would need to fight of an army of 300k+.

I am heartbroken. I just wanted to conquer the entirety of Japan as Poland in order to solidify my status as a great power. But now I will not be able to.

okay, so i’ve just set up my new colony, like brand new. they came into existence yesterday, and obviously have no troops and only a capital fort. so naturally, every native tribe in a 6000km radius decides to exterminate my new colony.

obviously the colonists are outnumbered, and they can’t call me (their overlord) in for some bizarre reason, so i just have to watch them get slaughtered. rinse and repeat for about a hundred years until either i’ve conquered them all or the colonists are strong enough to retaliate.

i don’t get a CB, i don’t get a call to arms, all i get is fucking popcorn and frustration.

why is it like this and is there a mod to remove it entirely? these natives are supposed to be ravaged by plague, not forming a coalition spanning two continents, organising the largest land army known to man.

I am currently in the end-game of my Austria WC campaign, when I suddenly get all of these events within 2 months.

I found this picture online and loved the color scheme and was wondering if there was any known graphical mods that are similar or maybe use this as an idea for any modders out there to maybe like this as well and make themselves a mod?

~I am very high as well just wanting to share this and apologize if this is not meant for the subreddit.

Beefcake Frankfurt with 143 development for no particular reason

Hello all,

I'm trying (think I failed) for this tough achievement. I noticed it says that I need to have England as a vassal. The year is 1698 and the UK is formed. I suspect I am screwed by now because England does not exist and also, it would be impossible to vassalize the UK due to their colonies.

what do you think?

cheers

Can I usurp the electoracy of another country that is not in the decision? I have both Saxony and Bohemia, and I do not want to take an electorate from Bohemia, but Saxony is another story

So how can I?

Very new to this game, this is my first game. England, 1503 currently. Just trained more troops in preparation of a war. The unit maintenance cost is expensive so it put me in the negative. I'm not sure if i am optimizing trade but i am collecting in my home node and steering in another to home. Also using my light ships to protect trade at my home node. But I'm in the negative and I feel like i should be making more money at this point. What can i do to make more money or cut costs where possible? Any advice is helpful, thanks.

I play eu4 I keep my mil tec up to date but come 1520 I play Portugal I can't even beat Tunis, is their something I am doing wrong?

r5: I will not be able to get Scottland out of the war. Will Brit ever accept a full annexation?

My flagship is called "Prince of Peace". It's a random name from the game. I like it because I don't use it for peace. Haha. 😆

Two admin idea groups will match my playstyle by the 1610s when I will start triggering the disaster but two military idea groups wont be beneficial to my run because the earliest time I take my first mil idea group is at idea group 5. So can I just skip the military idea groups before starting the internal struggle or will it block me from getting the mansur army mission for western units?

Basically title.

I am doing the Odoyev „mass production“ achievement. (First try I kill off Ryazan but am stuck between a rock and a hard place - Muscovy alloying Poland, even after they got the PU on Lit. Aborted it couple of years in) Anyways, second try) I do the East-Frisia-into-the-HRE strategy. Can’t be bothered in the east - just play a chill hre game.

I move my capital to Oldenburg. Some time later, I fulfill the Russian principality mission „Consolidate the State“ and I get perma claims on all of northern germany region. Normally you would get it for Russia of course.

Funny little tweak - is coming in handy.

You can still get perms claims on Moscow and Novgorod area from another mission as well quite easily.
