Right, just a tiny little vassal there.And no one in HRE seems to care enough about it to go to war against you. While you are sodomizing HRE through Friesland.
Can you really blame him for expanding in his home trade node?

No, I was just questioning how he doesn't have all the HRE on his back. Maybe after this war, though.
I imagine it's because Brandenburg is expanding inside the HRE at about eight times fanboi's rate hahah
Right, just a tiny little vassal there.
That tiny little gold producing vassal that's right on Venice's border? Yup, certainly no one in the HRE cares enough to go to war over that.

I am just intrested in the coastline!
And that small vassal wanted to be free from the HRE suppression.
Yeah, Brandenburg has a huge coalition against him.
None that I've found yet. There's a video here talking about the changes, but here's what I took from it.
Disasters: Basically things like the Peasant War, War of the Roses etc. The conditions for those to trigger and to get rid of them are better explained to the player.
More national ideas for Canada, Quebec, Mexico, SE Asian countries.
More/expanded dynamic historical events for several countries, including Venice and Poland.
Trade fleets going to the same trade node auto merge.
Colonies on the same continent as your capital have to be cored now.
I think they mentioned a reduced cost to it, but I'm not sure.
Edit: They've removed the minimum 50% autonomy too, for colonies on the same continent. There's also a reduced cost to coring.
Should have made that clearer before!
Yeah, but a further nerf on top of the 50% autonomy floor? Why are they trying to wreck same continent colonization to this degree?
I approve of this post.
Posted the gif too early it seems.

I think the Inca (and pretty much any non-European country) is much better to play now than it was at launch. Removing the points penalty was a huge boon. Having to core colonies is trivial by comparison, especially because otherwise it's adm-free land.

so what happened to Haly?
While westernizing he got the pop-up if he wanted to convert to Catholicism, and he chose to do so. The double whammy of religious disorder and the unrest from westernizing is not fun.
Current map.
Venice AAR:
So, the session started with the successful end to my war with Mantua. Mantua was annexed, Cremona was taken from Milan, along with war reparations from Milan, Bavaria and Baden. I don't need the money, but it's still lovely and humiliating to take from those nations. Milan didn't take that too well, starting a coalition against me and finding friends amongst several other OPM's in Italy. Well, it's too late for them now.
I then noticed that the Ottomans were trying to challenge my naval supremacy, by parking 80 Galleys on my doorstep. Venetian shipwrights got quickly to work, pumping out galley after galley, and I was rewarded with a wonderful admiral, Carlo Poscini (I think?), with great stats.
Plans were put in motion, and our Commonwealth allies declared war on the Ottomans. Venice's fleet once again showed they were masters of the mediterranean, by sinking the Ottoman's doom fleet, then blockading everything around, before hunting down the remnants of the Ottoman fleet hiding in the Crimea. Over 120 enemy ships were sunk by the war's end. Again, a mercenary horde was raised, but it was mostly the Commonwealth armies who dealt with the Ottoman's on land. Eventually the carpet siege began, with the end result of the Ottoman's hold on Europe being shrunk down to only seven provinces.
Great result there, and all of Venice's starting possessions are once again in our control.
Provinces Gained: Mantua, Cremona, Corfu, Naxos, Albania
Provinces Lost: None!

Boomshakamalacca is the colonial nation you should have played last time, if only to see that name sprawled across North America.
It would have made no sense as the colonial nation of anyone else though!

If I were SCA, I'd be more worried about dat PLC. So sexy, so stronk, so space.
Maybe they plan on splitting Novgorod or something.
...why? Scandinavia should be worried about Brandenburg and its massive Hanseatic vassal, given that Scandinavia is as obvious a place for expanding for Brandenburg as Burgundy is.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm such a hunk
Should they? Big alliance up there. Besides, this round has shown that obvious expansion paths are often avoided by players when dealing with other players.

What happened to the AI Aragon?
Coalition war consisting of, amongst others, France and Castile.
War started by Brittany. Because it makes so much sense for Brittany to hate on/be threaten by anyone else but France. And maybe GB. And now of course GB is stumping Brittany while France is kicking Castille in the balls.
I fucking hate the message system! Why do they pop up messages on top of the others? Don't bring it to front, damn it! Leave it in the background.
In my SP game I just accepted a war against the Ottomans because the message popped up on top on another one that I wanted to click. There goes my Ironman game.

D'awwwww. Adorable.
How bout transport boats? It's not like he doesn't have any coastline.
Kudos for Brandyburg though
Would you even have to? I mean, Scandinavia can't do shit, and Brandenburg can occupy a portion of them for a loooong time. Bet you that war exhaustion is going to annoy Scandinavia a lot sooner than anything affects Brandenburg.
