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.

See! All your fault @Andycoleno9!

You and @V.O. just seem happy to be who you are. It's very inspiring, really.

I'll always be able to look back fondly at that couple of months in 1491 when my guys did something. Or were at least allied to guys who were doing something.

1531 (Click the picture to make it bigger - you can also open/download all the maps so far (1444, 1472, 1502, 1531) and easily compare the progress

From next update on I expect a lot more colonies, so then I'll start doing some views of other places in the world too. We're already missing quite a bit of Wing Attack Plan R, and also the still very few colonies (Shakesey, SilentWitness, Crackers, BD and Organic Potatoes)

Ideas (these are basically upgrades you can take that come in Administrative, Diplomatic and Military, using the currency generated (generally) by the skills of your ruler. I'll go into a bit more detail about these when I do country-by-country updates a bit later today, but they're one way of measuring how well you're doing that doesn't necessarily relate directly to your number of provinces or the size of your armies. If you're conquering a lot you'll probably use a lot of Administrative power on making the new provinces cores, so maybe won't have as much to spend on new ideas)
  1. Organic Potatoes: 21 (+6) maxed out for the tech level
  2. P-Nut: 20 (+9)
  3. BD: 20 (+8)
  4. SilentWitness: 19 (+6)

  18. Crackers: 17 (+5)
Most developed province (this is still just the Cafites) - You use Monarch Power to develop these, directly from the skills I detailed in my explanation for Ideas. Guess who got a good monarch and hasn't done a lot that of other stuff that costs Power.

Finaly on some lists. Even leading the power projection one, but have no idea if that is a good thing?

It's good, because you only get it from successfully spiting your rivals. I guess Muscovy was your rival, so when you took a bunch of provinces off them you gained a lot of power projection too. Also if you're over 50 you gain +1 extra of each Monarch Power monthly, helping you do stuff like get technology and develop your provinces. It's small but it adds up.
 
Some concerning numbers there. I hope my allliance with the Timurids is still holdings strong (it should do, we have a nice buffer state in between us). It seems that being really late to the renaissance has screwed me over - my rulers have been good but we have wasted too many monarch points on expensive techs etc. Later my national ideas will help me compete, but I might be too far behind by then anyway :(
@nimic have I unlocked my third idea group yet?

Nope, you've still got 1 left of Administrative ideas, and yet to diplo tech 10.

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.

That's a lot. :nervous:

Skanderbeg tracks the average attribute distribution of a monarchs over time. Would be interesting to see which players are, well... Organic Potatoes and which have been really unlucky.

What? Did I bang one of the eboue clan?

Hopefully it will at least help me demolish Alto.
 
Ayrshire being the most developed province on the planet by miles :lol:

Organic Potatoes is top, because his 5/5/5 starting monarch ruled for 54 years, and his 5/6/5 replacement has ruled for 34 so far. Dan has had 5/5/5, 4/3/4, 4/5/5 and now 6/6/3. SilentWitness has had the 5/5/5 and now a 5/4/4.

Conversely (and perversely), Welsh Wonder's 5/5/5 starting monarch died after 3 years, and has been succeeded by 3/3/3, then 3/3/2, then 3/0/4, then 0/4/3, a 3/4/4 for three years and now a 3/1/4. No absolute stinkers, but just a long series of not good.
 
What rip off. My first ruler was a scholar and all his descendants have been imbeciles.
 
Is there tech leakage like CK2 - i.e will me being close to the Ayrshire (aka Athens of the North) be beneficial to my territories?

Not related to particular provinces, but yes if you have neighbours who are ahead of you technologically, your tech will be cheaper. You might benefit from Ayrshire if it's much quicker to get an Institution (we should get Colonialism soon, for example), as development plays a part in that. And institutions usually spread quicker if neighbouring provinces already have it.
 
Seems like I've got loads of ideas and a decent amount of money, but I'm doing piss all with it. Hopefully I'm just a defensive powerhouse and we'll be batting away swathes of these leaches later.
