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

Wtf I don't even like the pope
 
Can I just abandon my homeland and move all my stuff down to B D South Africa?
 
Oh my! @RedSky's ruler died without an heir, and a Succession War has broken out between @Solius and @Eboue. Eboue is joined by @Abizzz and some smaller countries, while RedSky is with his chosen senior partner in the new union, Solius. This actually means that RedSky is once again ruled by a Redsky, his dynasty having died out in his homelands but carried on in the lands of Solius!

This is their first war without @BD since... ever. Let's see if he was the glue holding it all together.

Having ambivalent feelings about helping @Eboue here. How did it go?
 
I think you mean I'm winning the succession war for him.

You did. The upshot is that @V.O. is now in a personal union with @P-Nut instead of adexkola. It also means V.O. is immediately at war with a lot of other countries. This could turn out to be really good for their mutual neighbour @Andycoleno9, though the war might just end quickly because Welsh Wonder is basically already dealt with and he's the war leader (and the target).

It just ended. I think you got out of it unharmed (except for losing so, so many men), but @Eboue did not have a great time.

Also, yeah. Since @RedSky is now ruled by @Solius, those provinces which should have gone to RedSky actually went to his coral overlord. Stop ruining the map, Solius!
 
Oh, I think @Solius has suffered the consequences of his actions for literally the first time in this game. While he did take a lot of provinces from Eboue, he just lost a bunch of West Africa to rebels. I suspect SilentWitness will pounce on them.

The black-striped provinces are also occupied by other rebels, so he should probably hurry down.

@nimic in your expert opinion is there a chance for me to win provinces from op while he's busy elsewhere, or is it near impossible?

It's definitely possible. You're never going to invade Ireland, but he's got enough provinces in Britain for you to sit on to make a dent in a war. He's also got a lot of troops sitting in the colonies, and obviously all the troops that belong to his colonies are there as well.

I demand you reload the save.
 
Erm @P-Nut converted to the Orthodox faith. He has a regent for his young ruler Libero P-Nut. That regent's name? Chiara @hobbers.

Seems like a weird move, and it definitely is. But it means he's strong allies with hobbers, who has built up monstrous army. Biggest in the game, in fact.
 
Take your unleavened bread and shove it up your veevavee
 
I've destroyed Wales, but at what cost? I am England and I must scream.
 
Oh look, we have another contestant in the never-ending game of "get screwed by your small ally". This time @Salt Bailly is the brave soul. Unfortunately he has no other allies to help bailly him out.

I suspect @BootsyCollins and @Samid are both going to go away from this happy. @PSV will probably be happy to see Latgalia go too, all things considered. They caused him rather a lot of grief.

Cheers @hobbers for finally making me relevant. Hopefully we push on now and take some more of that central European land.

Might have taken it a bit far with changing religion though, I expect that to cause issues somewhere :lol:

@nimic by any chance is my upturn in fortunes due to finally getting a ruler with stats above 3?
