Grand Strategy/Paradox

Portugal's lightweight really but if you're really having issues, maybe Arabia is easier, although way less population, still a gateway into Africa.

Yeah, I tried to get into the Asian countries and that didn't really work well.

I've slowly legitimized my Paradox Interactive game collection, I bought the Hearts of Iron 3 collection including most of the sprite packs, Europa Universalis 3 Chronicles and Complete, the Victoria 2 collection including Victoria I, and the Crusader Kings 2 collection.

By the way, they are going to release a DLC soon so you can play as republics like Venice or create your own, and is mainly based around trading and trade posts, sounds like fun. I'm really waiting for Europa Universalis 4 though, unless they allow paganism for CK2, or make another addon including it.

Scotland > Great Britain game finished. I tried so hard to clean Europe up but Spain was just a bitch and wouldn't annex Aragon. And Russia imploded into rebels almost right after they formed. The nations on america are Aquileia on north Mexico, light blue is Venice, orange is NEVERS (that one landlocked country in France!) and that Red between Chile and Argentina is Denmark.

With this game I learned that the thing I hate the most in my game are level 5/6 forts.

I wish they would get the colonisation of Australia right with the provinces, one of the main first landings was in the Northern Territory which is completely uncolonizable.

[ElMartu]

Yeah that makes sense.

I formed Russia as Novgorod for the first time, and oddly enough as I was doing it, the song "Come Together" by The Beatles was playing.

I finished my first game in EU3.

Formed Germany with Brandenberg in 1590s.
Then mostly fast forwarded the game as there wasn't much of a challenge left to do.
Just took over all provinces on which I had a core.

But honestly, Germany....once formed. The economy, technology and army are unmatched.
Though my infamy was at peak, but all the income I got was from taxes. The Army and Cultural modifier were stuck at 100%.
I was getting army generals like Timur Khan.
I was able to annihilate 40000 french troops in one roll of dice in the shock phase of a war. Fort level 3 could be captured in 1 assault. Rebel armies were actually target practice.

[ElMartu]

Yeah Germany is unstoppable in all paradox games. Nothing wrong with that either, it's how it's supposed to be. Nice to see a new face around too, this thread is mostly a circlejerk between the same 3 or 4 posters.

Did you take the Hansa and use the Hanseatic League as a good economy basis? That's supposed to be the historical and strategical way of forming Germany
