Wasnt confident at all on this war, but im surprised he could take bigger losses with my manpower traditions. We shouldnt have taken risks, shouldve called the Timurids in to make sure we got the job done. Going to be vulnerable to a hobbers backdoor now.
I live for being tagged in this thread
Posts that feel sexual but actually really are.
Feel like I’m doing most of the heavy lifting here.
All the while, I'm just sat there with my hand down my pants. I've got to get in on this! He's there for the taking!
Looks like I made some decent gains, hopefully whoever rules me now is wise enough to sit out that coalition of envy. Welcome back @Dan, vote for your ally in any election!@Abizzz has been a naughty boy, and is now the target of a pretty big coalition. That means that if he attacks anyone, these guys will get involved.
My lands in Italy still holding up. @VeevaVee
I'm seething under the Saharan sun! May your churros turn soggy and your paella burn at the bottom, Spanish infidels!
Let me die already
Big thanks to @nimic for putting in the time and effort. Most entertaining thread in a long while.
What's the religious map like Nimic? Are we close to triggering a league war? They're always very entertaining.
To expand on this a little.. Organic Potatoes is going to be in a very strong position with the expansion + exploration combo. It basically sends his overseas expansion into overdrive by having two overseas focuses (at the cost of not having a more useful European-centric idea group)
The coloured areas below are colonial regions Nimic mentioned above, so if any countries secure enough colonies in any of these region, they create a semi-autonomous colonial nation. They're sort of like vassals in that they provide extra income, troops to fight, etc to their mother country, but they also expand and colonise to further their own growth and also can declare colonial wars independently.
Okay I'm going to stop there and write another update tomorrow, the one with maps and stats. But Crackers is probably too poor to afford a colony, so Organic Potatoes is the only one colonizing the Americas right now. He also just got the tech to unlock a new idea group (nobody else has done that), and he picked Expansion. That is going to give him even more colonists. If nobody else picks Exploration when they hit the 4th idea group, I suspect he's going to colonize half of America before anyone else has a chance to get there
(To explain colonization a bit: you send a colonist to make a colony, and then if it's in Africa/Asia it becomes part of your country. If it's in the New World (also Australia), when you get enough colonies next to each other they turn into a separate country that continues colonizing on its own. He's currently got three different ones)

Thanks, I appreciate that! I kinda jumped into it hoping people wouldn't just be annoyed at all the posts.
Only pussies leave Europe
I'll include a religion map for the update today. Not quite religious war time yet
I've been playing with Morocco at home and I can safely say EU4's AI isn't very I
Looking forward to this, hopefully little Monaco is thriving to take my mind off the game
Aww damn!
By God i might make it to the the top 50% at this stage

I'm realizing two things doing this.
1. I am extremely fecking happy the forum constantly autosaves a draft. I remember when it didn't do that, which was a time of despair.
2. I am absolutely crap at doing simple maths in my head.

Ah, I see I forgot to add the province development changes. I'll edit that shortly.
Surprised andycole not in the great powers list
Looks like i'm making my way into the top 10's and to the ocean just in time to get ripped apart by some religious turmoil
Thanks for the updates @nimic!
Thanks for the updates @nimic!
Also - did OP conquer a bit of WW?
Yep, it happened two wars ago, when he was on the side of the Franco-Iberian Axis. The next war he was on the side of the Friends of Crackers, but he didn't lose anything.
Starting to feel like my empire is satisfied with where it is. Everyone around me is either allied, a bonafide super power, or @Shakesey
Nobody will invade my core provence with my ridiculous navy, and I seem to have lost the ambition I had early on.
Side note @nimic, for the next player analysis, could you include a prediction given your omnipresence and knowledge of them game? I'd be curious to know what you think will happen, and we can compare that with the end result

I could try! I'll try to remember to add something like that.
As for the alliances, the Reformation is still under way, so some alliances could be split up. Even more so if we get a League War, which is basically the game's version of the Thirty Years War, with Europe dividing to support the Protestants or the Catholics in the Holy Roman Empire.
I always post this at the end of pages, so here it is if anyone missed it:
