The 3rd Swedish city is also automatically named Helsinki. How about that...

Yes, I don't really get that. It uses both Swedish and Finnish city names. Turku, for example, is used as well.

Keep calm and move along.

I mean, they could at least use names like Helsingfors or Åbo, but that's just me complaining over minor things.  ;D

And they kinda used the most unfitting voice actor for Gustav Adolf I've seen in a long time.

Keep calm and move along.

At least they actually speak in real languages, instead of saying random things like "Troshala" or other such nonsense. As I recall earlier Civ games had that defe-- I mean system...

Okay, update.

Lets see here. After another great war against the Ottomans, I brutalized them so much they couldn't repel the following waves of rebellions, and so a whole group of nations have regained independence, including the long lost Byzantine empire. The Ottomans are now standing on their last legs.

Castille has lost all European land and most of their South American colonies, but their scattered and distant colonies makes them damn hard to get rid of. Austria is becoming a damn pain in the ass, constantly making spy attacks on me as well as trying to get me excommunicated by the church (again).

Wales got cocky, so I had to take half their country.

Oh, and the Mayans are now the Papal controller somehow.

Keep calm and move along.

This always seems to happen to the ottomans somehow, the AI is very poor at controlling such a multi ehtnic empire

I don't play EUIII much but my friend has done pretty much everything there is to do in it, including the fabled form the Holy Roman Empire, he also took the byzantines out and rebuilt the roman empire
...scum.

Forming the Holy Roman Empire is really hard, because its not a conquer everything form like hindustan or germany, you have to do it through in game events and Imperial Decisions

But if you manage to pull it off you inherit everything from Alsace Lorraine to Warsaw, up to denmark and down to Rome, essentially making you the most powerful nation that has ever existed in a paradox game full stop

Is there a list on the game showing whats needed to make the HRE? Or is it a stumble around and hope you make all the right decisions kinda thing?

Not really, but weird stuff always happens in these games. I remember one playthrough on E: TW where Chechyna-Dagestan created an empire stretching from North Africa to Norway and to Spain and essentially all of Europe. :P

Not sure really, my guess is the Russians making some really boneheaded decisions, as they were the first to fall. After their Russian conquest, they built up an army and went after the Ottomans...who after intially having the advantage...made some really boneheaded decisions, like attacking me, and were conquered by Chechyna-Dagestan. After that it was essentially the domino effect. :P

Russia must have made some boneheaded decisions, then. Dagestan is usually a really wussy country.

But yet again, I should remember the hell that was fighting the Saxon empire. :shudders:

They are, I didn't even notice at first until I saw that certain Russian territories were a different shade of green. Imagine my surprise when it said the territories were controlled by Dagestan.

Ah yes...Saxony...that brings in memories. I once made the mistake of funding Saxony's war effort against Austria...a decision I sorely regretted later on...pretty much a case of making my own monster.  x|

Bitch please, I conquered all of Europe except of the Ottomans and a few German states, and gave it all to Saxony, just to see how the map looked. Then my brain reset itself, and I saved, and then I had created my Frankenstein. It got real ugly when they suddenly got the bright idea of attacking the now bankrupt Sweden.

Sometimes I try giving all my territories to one single country just to see what the map would look like with their color, then load to the previous save where I owned everything again. This was one of those moments, only my brain disconnected and I saved.

Sweden died.

I'm fine, thank you. I don't even think I can play that game multiplayer. Something about Spyware, I think.
