No problem. I just hope my fleet performs as well against Ottos as it did against Venice.
That was fanboi's plan all along.
He got so scared that he decided to suicide by coalition?

Honestly I think you're gonna have a tough time unless KingSnake helps you. The benefit of the Mamluks is that very early into the game, they have a really easy time beating the Ottoman to taking out the fairly rich Anatolian minors and in the naval race. And if you're lucky you can even snipe Constantinople from under them. I actually did the optimal strat for that in the last MP game until toma and Fitz wiped me out.
But you took your time, and the Ottomans got Byzantium, are going to take a chunk out of fanboi and also got to take bits of Anatolia and the Caucasus region. They're not as strong as they could be if they'd have taken Southern Anatolia and the Levant, but they'll still be a challenge for you.

Yes. Which is a lot easier at the start because then the Ottomans don't bloat up their navy with a metric boatload (heheheh) of galleys.

That's why I said "unless KingSnake helps you".
There's 5 countries I always tend to overestimate (which is probably good cause then I don't underestimate 'em) : England, France, Ottomans, Russia and Ming.

) : England, France, Ottomans, Russia and Ming.I'm an optimist, I fully believe Fanboi can survive his current war(s) by giving away some land and releasing some things and then when ottomans get caught in a war against robo/kingsnake he can just take everything back and even grow.
Though I don't have much hope for you Uzzy, he's as good as dead.
Yeah I overestimate all of those but Russia and England.
Like I think I could kill ming at the moment (If they weren't allied to Korea, as Korea alone has 17-20 k men), I have money and soldiers for it.

Polan AI tends to poop its pants all the time.
You don't overestimate Poland, he's always bigger than you think. Even if you feel like you're overestimating him, he's always bigger and stronger.
Not biased after getting crushed by them early game all the time, not at all.

Poland also has the best AI performance I've ever seen in EU4 barring that version where Austria kept forming the HRE. Yes, Poland can derail early but if they reach ADM 10 and still have their PU they are monstrous.
Red Arremer

I almost always see Poland crash and burn and lose the PU over LIT.

Believe harder, son
In Egypt, we eat kebab for breakfast
it'll be rough, and I'll need to invest in even more Galleys (10-15) to win against their navy probably, since I have 0 naval power allies that'll join (Tunis will defend Otto - unless I gameplay trick them out of it, which is a bit exploitative to do but whatevs). And of course, even if I block the strait they'll come running over the top side of the Black Sea easy enough now.
On the other hand, there's absolutely no reason not to do it with KS anyway, since Ottos are completely blocking him from progressing north to westernize now, but then I probably don't even have to block the strait

Wish I saw some of that performance this game. I had relied on them in all my test games, and they performed well, helping me smash the Teutons even without the PU.
But nope, this game they decided to commit suicide twice. I was impressed, especially the second time when they conceded three provinces to the Teutons while on the brink of victory.
I agree with this. I had a lot of games where they form Commonwealth and they become practically unbeatable.
Test games are for pussies! Blind is the only way
especially since I dont care to get all those expansions
I was sleepy while waiting for a doctor's appointment and had this fever dream of ~Paradox - Doki Doki HRE High!~, an EU4 dating sim where the HRE is reimagined with animu girls.
OPMs are the freshmen and sophomores, Great Powers are the juniors and seniors, Electors are the student government and Austria is the principal.
I'm not sure where Kebab fits into this but Blue Blob is the neighboring magnet school trying to poach students from the HRE.
Castille is an all girls school and Aragon is an all guys school but the two schools merge into a single co-ed school eventually.

Yes, at least Morfeo told me he's not giving up yet, I hope fanboi follows his example. And I don't want to quit before I've had my showdown with the Ottos at least. My sultana will show that wannabe emperor of Constantinople who's the real bitch Sultan.
And there's really no point in starting over before Cossacks anyway

Even if fanboi, Uzzy and Morfeo dropped out, I still would hope we could continue to play. No reason to stop, imo.
I hope Uzzy and Fanboi continue too, feels kinda pointless as a mp-game, if only RA, Stefan and a very weakened me is left in Europe. When I choose Savoy, I had no late-game ambitions (if I had, I would have choosen a stronger nation), so it is now this game needs to be interesting, which it is increasingly looking as it wont be now that Europe is getting emptied out. Which means, I am continuing if the AI doesnt ruin my nation today, but Im not sure how much longer it makes sense to continue this when what makes this interesting, the mp-part of it, is getting lost. So Fanboi and Uzzy - dont give up!
Red Arremer

Switching to another country is not appealing to you at all, Uzzy?
You wont have to continue as the punching bag though, take inspiration from how RA handled his coalition war!
Red Arremer
Member
He's not in a coalition war though, he's in 3 separate wars from people with 3 separate agendas. They all want to take land from him.
Yes, then BB is fucked. Switch countries. TO is the obvious candidate imo given that you can still form Prussia and so on.

I like mgo's suggestion of the Hansa, as well.
Red Arremer
Member
Northern Germany and Denmark are "your region"?
Its in Europe. Considering your alliance with Uzzy would probably be kept if he moved to Hansa, it surely has a potential negative effect for me if I manage to survive. I still want him to stay for the human agency and interesting scenarios that comes with that though.

I think he means in the sense like when Fanboi switched to Hungary and immediately allied you and helped you fight France to make you an even stronger rival for him.

Whatever country Uzzy picks (if any), I hope he is prepared to help me free Gotland, and keep it free for all eternity.
