Well that felt alright. By using my army as a marine corps, I managed to improve the warscore against the 8 nation coalition from -99% to -67%, and made a somewhat decent peace. I lost Dalmatia, Ragusa, Corfu, Naxos and Crete, but kept Brescia and the Papal States. Which is better than I thought.
Sadly, I don't know if I'll be available for next Sunday, so I might have to leave it there on somewhat of a high note. But hopefully not. Still, not the first player knocked out the game! Get in.

If you've kept the Papacy and Brescia, you're laughing - the rest of the Venetian territories ultimately are never going to be as useful as actually controlling Italian mainland.
Yeah, that's why I took the peace deal the moment it came up. I can retake Dalmatia in 1469, and vassalise Ragusa, so those two provinces can return to the fold swiftly. Losing the mediterranean islands does mean I've got less trade power in the Constantinople/Alexandria/Aleppo trade nodes, so I might have to see about retaking Crete at some point to help with that.
I think the ottomans are at that at this very moment actually.
So, Chrome won't open NeoGAF for some reason, so I'm using *gulp* IE to post this. Anyway...
Sweden - AAR:
Spent my game building up a power base to fight Denmark again for Blekinge and the independence of Norway... but then Norway became independent all by themselves. Of course I celebrated this fact by declaring war on Norway and taking my core and Bohuslan from them. Unfortunately I couldn't take the mission to vassalize them, but with a little luck that will come later. When that was was over I didn't waste any time and declared on Denmark with my ally The Hansa. We killed their navy and now we ended the game with me and Bjaelke sieging every Danish province.
Other stuff I did: I diplo-annexed Gotland (by the way, I do not like the new mechanics for diplo-annexing, farewell my sweet, sweet diplo rep :'( ), allied Muscovy for some reason, broke that alliance almost immediately because I didn't want to join up against Novgorod and my heir died... but he was almost immediately replaced by a 6/5/4 heir, so that worked out well.

Yeah, I don't think I would've been able to join the game otherwise.
They're taking Crete too? Grrh. That's a pain. Still, dealing with the Ottomans will be easier than dealing with that eight nation coalition.

Not so much happened.
Quelched some revolts early in the session was the most intresting.
Also, watching England handle the 40k rebels was intresting since France DoW... jumped on their ships, starteded seiging then peaced out... and helped England with the rebels.
Annexed my vassal (Munster?) then DoW on Norway to take Orkney and the other islands.
Next session... truce with England ends.

Summary:
At the end of last session Muscovy declared war on Novgorod for a second time, which turned out to be not the smartest move Kremlin has ever done, as they well deservedly got rekkkkt. It was a long and bloody war, but now they're in shambles, as the Golden Horde (which diplo-annexed Kazan this session) got in on the action after their army was gone as well. I messed up a bit when peacing out, and grabbed provinces for Poland instead of Lithuania (since I for the life of me couldn't figure out how to do it at the time - I think possibly they wouldn't take them, as they have a minus 1000 modifier on all these provinces when I tried to sell them to them for 0 afterwards), which was a bitter after-taste to the sweet feel of victory.
Bye, bye admin points, and 'lo Russian nationalists.
Provinces gained: Rzhev, Kaluga, Tula.

I think you can only request them for yur vassal if they have a core on them - which they probably lack on all of those.
Nah, you can transfer any occupation to subjects and demand them for them. Vassal feeding is essentially unlimited now.

Ok, but you have to do that before peacing out? -- of course, fuck. I thought I was supposed to do it in the sue for peace menu.. lololol
You can press on the shield in the province window to change occupation. But yeah, this needs to be done in the war.

Yeah, I know. I did that to transfer control of some Muscovite provinces to Novgorod, but for some stupid reason I thought it was different for my own subjects. X|
It's fine as a system tbh, the large amount of autonomy you get upon annexing vassals makes up for it, and feeding at an insane rate just causes rebel uprisings with your vassals, which the AI often can't deal with as well as a player.

In my opinion it's now better to have fewer, larger vassals, as long as you're willing to absorb the entire diplo annexation cost all at once. If you have to keep annexing smaller vassals, then it's going to simply tank your diplomatic reputation, and that affects annexation speed, diplomatic actions, etc. Plus diplomatic reputation is much dearer in 1.8 due to the adviser nerf. Diplomatic and influence ideas actually matter now if you plan to do a lot of vassal annexing.
Yeah, the King of Burgundy died and it's now split between France and Austria
Right, I take Austria then.
Austria ended in a PU with Bavaria (bloody good play Haly).
I'll ask for a divorce.
She already left with Morfeo.
Then I can integrate Bavaria into Austria.
No, Morfeo can have her, she's ugly. I'll take her lands, though.

Hmm... seems like a new hotfix is out (not sure what is new since most of this is the old patch notes):
This is a hotfix for 1.8, primarily to address performance and MP stability issues.
To use this hotfix, go into your steam library, right click Europa Universalis IV, choose 'Properties', click the 'BETAS' tab, and select the 1.8.1-beta option from the drop down box. If you can't see this beta option, try restarting Steam.
This is a BETA, so you use it at your own risk!

Unable to westernise? I imagine that's a trade company province there, which don't work for westernisation. If you can take province (and core) you should be able to.
Not sure what the deal is with islands, but I'd guess that it would work because of the strait? Pretty sure European nations always transfer provinces to trade companies when possible though, trade company map mode should help.
edit: if you've got a big enough navy to hold them off you can just capture the province, owning a core of theirs will also allow you to westernise.
Theres a colonial nation circlejerk of GB - Portugal - Castille, it's not a risk I'm willing to take tbh. Thanks, though, now I know one more thing that would've dicked me over in a MP game.
Save file got corrupted, too bad.

Well, more like hasn't, 22 countries!

I don't see Holland, so no, can't be that.
Probably because Holland isn't a country, you should try reading a book now and then

Dunno what to do now. Maybe take over Africa and then beat up Russia.
Not sure where to go from here. For a few hours, I was toying with the idea of going for WC, until I realized I couldn't easily become Catholic like Ryukyu can, so I can't become Emperor of HRE, so I can't abuse Revoke the Privilagia.

Try to take all of Africa and Asia, you would've had to do that anyway even without Revoke the Privilegia.
