I would but when you are at war with Austria and 75% of France flips over to Protestant you don't argue, you go with the flow.

I'm about to start a Poland game where I will stay catholic no matter what.

That's the spirit.

Well I started a poland game and I think I may have had the worst luck I've ever had in a game of EUIV. I won't go into the details but it ended in Russia declaring war on me after a long series of conflicts in Germany when my armies were just rebuilding.

So thats a complete do-over.
...scum.

Been playing Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion lately to get myself ready for when Novus Aeterno finally drops. I have found that most opponents find it incredibly difficult to stop me once I have phase gates as the Vasari. The ability to travel between any world with one is absolutely great.

That's a great thing for the Vasari.

As for me, I tend to choose TEC Rebels.

I'll skip Novus Aeterno though.

Why didn't you form germany at that point? Or did you not have all the provinces you needed?

I think you're only missing niederbayern in bavaria

Honestly I didn't want to form Germany.  It wasn't my goal for that game, I was just playing trade and that is where it took me.



Also for the people that play EU:IV there is usually multiplayer games on the weekend at AMW's TS3 server.

Embarrassingly I don't know how to take those world view screenshots, so here's the PLC circa 1540

Spoiler for Hiden:

Had a couple of good wars vs the ottomans, managed to get a couple provinces off of them and released Bulgaria as a vassal. Eventually I plan to get the rest of bulgaria then diplo-annex them, then take a greek province and release the Byzantines as a puppet and do that all over again. Should work. I'm honestly more worried about Muscovy than the ottomans at this point.

Not quite the high water mark but pretty close to it, since then I acquired Edirene from the Ottomans and released Byzantium and Brandenburg gave me a bunch of hungarian provinces in a peace deal, none of which I particularly wanted...

Spoiler for Hiden:

Do you plan on going after the Crimea? Should prove useful against the Ottomans, though then again you would have to constantly watch your back with the Russians.

Just completed a game of Europa Universalis 4, playing as Byzantium. I decided from the beginning to make it my goal of reclaiming the old territories of ancient Rome, but I ended up grabbing territories elsewhere as well due to necessity and because I could. Although I did not manage to reclaim all of ancient Rome before time ran out, I made Byzantium crawl its way back from the brink of destruction and become the world's leading superpower. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the result.

Keep calm and move along.

How did you springboard out, from the deep Med, to start launching colonies?  Or did you take them during a war?

I made this a couple months ago, from my Crusader Kings II game.  Its a short look at the Byzantine led Crusade against my Reformed Norse Russia, for Sweden. 

I deemed it the Crusade of the Eagles, because Russia uses a black two-headed eagle on red, and the Byzantine flag was a golden two-headed eagle on red.

I put points into the Colonization Ideas early on, and I really wanted colonies. I had more, but lost them to Great Britain and France.

I took out France even before I formed Netherlands.  Also I'm disappointed in the balance because I wanted to get to a million.  :P

Next order of business is to convert this into Victoria 2 and continue.  :D

Unless you have Hansa colonies around the world, this success is irrelevant and I will forever be disappoint.

So I uh...finished a Vic 2 game with Japan...kinda. The save file was corrupted it seems, and all nations became Primitive Nations and lost all their technology and all their diplomatic relations, and the map glitched out a bit as well. My territory was left almost completely intact, though, so I thought I'd show off what I had worked pretty hard for and then lost. The things missing are some blank spots in Malaya, Taiwan, the Philippines, Moluccas, half of New Guinea and all of Micronesia. Due to the "reset" of all the nations, you also cannot see Dai Nam and Manchuria which were both my puppets. The year was 1907, and I had just toppled Britain as the world's leading superpower by breaking their legs in the first Great War.

Eh, I might give Japan another go soon. It's my absolute favorite nation to play.

Keep calm and move along.

Tried giving Supreme Ruler 2020 another go after years in my trash can. All I could think of while trying to play was the first few seconds of this video.

Finished another EU4 game, this time playing as the Mayans with the El Dorado expansion. The Europeans were passive as all hell with colonizing for some reason, so I just nabbed colonies left and right until I became strong enough to take them on in wars. I may be dominating the excrement out of half the world a bit.

Time to convert to Vic 2 and take the rest of the Americas.
