Administrative ideas. Which are really good if you plan on conquering some new land (cheaper to make provinces into your cores, stuff like that).
We had a group of 5~ LGC/ZZ players (+ Osi, if you remember him) playing EU4 MP for a while (+ FM AARs and minileagues). Fizzled away w/ work committments, arguments etc a year or so ago.
I've still got trauma over Love/Augh/Tobler acting as a UN and always deciding in each others favour in disputes in our EU2 games. Vaguely recall Tobler threatening to intervene against you if you didn't accept WP because Augh or Love had declared war on you and after a bloody war you were beating them back.
I don't understand it, but @Dan is still alive. The war ended, Brandenburg (I thought) had his one province occupied, in a war which I also thought was explicitly about conquering Dan, but... the war is over, and Dan is still there. The only thing I can think of is a mechanic where a "Great Power" (the top 8 countries in the world, basically) can threaten someone to stop a war. All of those are quite far away from @Dan though, so it doesn't make sense.
Dan is a fighter, that's for sure.
Sure I remember Osiris.

I remember I got quite angry one time as France, where I had easily taken some colonies from Spain, and later like three countries declared war on me (like a UN intervention)
That might have been the same game or maybe not. I'm a digital hoarder so I've still got some screenshots of a game or two we had.So I'll find new land and then he'll take it from me. Got it.
Will make for some good resorts in 300 years
We're not too many years away from another map + stats update, but I feel I have to point out that @Organic Potatoes currently has finished four more ideas than any other player. That man really wants to get shit done. I suppose it doesn't hurt that his ruler, High King Ultan I Eboue (yes Eboue) is 5-6-5 in attributes.
I had it coming.
You're still alive, but you're surrounded by countries that wouldn't mind some more of your provinces.
The others that have been reduced that much never really got going, but your country was looking quite strong for a while. I think the choice in allies doomed you.
Let's just all take a nice look at Central America before you maniacs ruin it.
Good news @BootsyCollins, you're finally making your move on Muscovy (who got out of their personal union, somehow).
Gold here i comeLet's just all take a nice look at Central America before you maniacs ruin it.
Hobbers looks fecking massive.
Even with two friends, this looks pretty bad. @Solius somehow managed to find another ally to help him this time, Organic Potatoes. He might be eyeing some of those British provinces of @Welsh Wonder.
That's a massive army.
holy shitit begins.
@Organic Potatoes is basically replacing The Pope.
Ouch. Don't know why I'm so loyal to @Crackers

First new world colony: Organic Potatoes in Rio de Janeiro
Multitasking:
Well, isn't this a surprise! Not everyday you see a giant army at your doorstep. I would've baked a cake, but I reckon it wouldn't feed all of you. Listen, before we go to battle, here are some things you should know about our local etiquette: Shoes off at the gates, please. We just got the desert floors swept; our camels are a bit touchy. Give them their space; sunscreen - seriously, the Sahara doesn't play around.
Good news @Shakesey, you have a new capital. Because @BD took the old one. He only took that, though. Also @Crackers is incredibly still alive. He now has a total of four provinces in Iberia + the Azores and his one colony. @Solius 100% deliberately only demanded the provinces he himself was occupying, refusing to demand the provinces @BD was sitting on. (And it goes without saying that @RedSky was just along for the fun).
Oh yeah, and Organic Potatoes took Bath from @Welsh Wonder.
I'll post a map with the stats update in not too long.

If only Crackers would feck off to the New World already! Our alliance has been a pain in the ass
This is the life of a War Mongering scholar. I talk about destroying my enemies, I discuss my two ideas with my allies and then I sit back and get pissed while my allies take all the loot and land. What a lad.
@Dan just lost another war. Still there.
You can't say I'm not fair.
I'm going to drag everyone down with me, collect a fortune in Mexico and then hire mercenaries to kill all of you
I spy more land for meYou're still alive, but you're surrounded by countries that wouldn't mind some more of your provinces.

You're pretty much a bully now.
He took fecking Den Haag?! This means war.
Well it probably was.
Well it probably was.
As long as you remember the thousands of Moroccans who died for you little bird. Fly!
Nice, hope i take it all.Good news @BootsyCollins, you're finally making your move on Muscovy (who got out of their personal union, somehow).
Ironically Brandenburg was the one that took you down too, but this time because you were trying to defend it. It's been the bane of many players so far.
I assume Sultan von Walrus has been busy all this time, improving the infrastructure, modernising the army, funding great national initiatives that will somehow let him deal with fecking hobbers.
You did actually expand a bit, you'll see the map the soon (after I fix something to eat).
I'll still be sat with the same tiny bit of land, deciding to not move at all. I've basically become Monaco
