Gaming 1836 - The Europa Universalis 4 Experiment (Hands-off) - Map & stats in second post - Final Map and Stats update - Timelapse video

I'm finally building an army for some reason, and I'm full of ideas and money, surely something has to come of it eventually
 
My king spends all money on himself.
@nimic do i have gold mine in Hungary?

Yep.

Full of money is right. You're sitting on 6 402 gold. In comparison, @Andycoleno9 has 247 and @Wing Attack Plan R has 29 (he's in a war though, to be fair). That could build a lot of buildings or hire a lot of mercenaries. Or in other words, you're sitting on 70 months worth of income.

Jesus, just spaff it all on mercenaries and let's take over the world
 
I’m developing nicely and it looks like the aim of my people is just to survive until the end as we are. :lol:
 
Nobody will invade my core provence with my ridiculous navy, and I seem to have lost the ambition I had early on.

Ambition unlocked. Not so great for @Shakesey, since Solius gave you guys military access through this lands. Though to be fair you have a mega fleet to ferry troops with anyway. Also @P-Nut gets to finally fight someone, it's been a while.

@Eboue (top) and @RedSky (bottom) have made it to the New World. Not on their own, but either through map knowledge spreading naturally, or by purchasing some maps from Organic Potatoes. It's a start, though. (Apparently map knowledge spreads easier if the countries have good relations, and Eboue and Organic Potatoes like each other. Not sure how RedSky got in on the action, but he did.)

Shakesy looking in trouble then? While PNuts busy with him now would be a good time for my boys to invade PNut. Or we can just keep drinking wine for the next 50 years.

Good to see I've finally had some ideas.

Eboue and me are real bros. :lol:
 
@nimic if @Solius and I go to war, I'm gonna need minute-by-minute updates. I'd like to think that his animosity towards me is matched so that I'm not blindsided when it kicks off.

Is @RedSky still my ally or has he turncoated to the Spaniards? He must be miffed having got exactly zero gains from Solius' Iberian war.

This would be the biggest war of the game yet, no?

He's still your ally. Your allies are RedSky, P-Nut, VeevaVee, Organic Potatoes and Samid. You have so many allies.

I'm an ally to half of Europe. :lol:
 
@BD has taken the Exploration idea, he wants to get out and experience new things (and maybe get away from Solius for a bit). Though first he has to make sure he doesn't lose against Kongo, who he attacked without having his army in place.

I guess knowledge of this exact part of Northern Brazil just spread, because suddenly @AnotherLondonManc, @KirkDuyt and @Solius are all colonizing right next to each other.

I wondered what giving an extra colonist to everyone would mean, but I think it's working out. Organic Potatoes has still had a lot of advantage from picking the exploration idea, and now BD will be able to get a head start too in new areas. But in a test game I ran literally the entirety of the Americas were colonized by a single country, which won't happen here. What's European history without some colonial wars, eh?
