With a full blockade, Scandy will be free to launch coastal raids wherever he pleases. The advantage still liees with Brandenburg of course, but its going to be a long and grueling war for him more so than Scandy, who has no real micro requirements.
And itll leave him open to attack. I'm sure there are players just waiting for a distraction.
What raids? Scandinavia lands with troops, Brandenburg smacks them around, Scandinavia takes lots of WE and Brandenburg laughs? It takes aaaages for troops to embark and disembark, and it doesn't take very long to walk troops across Germany.

Scandinavia > HRE
I'd sooner expect Novgorod to use the opportunity to rid itself of a potential threat on its flanks.
In an ideal world, yes.Though, in this MP world Novgorod, Poland and Scandinavia attacked Brandyburg against the same logic.
Sweden >>> Scandinavia.

With ~20 players, I struggle to see how your 10 foot penis is something to boost about. You must faint at the sight of a pretty Morfeo.
*hands you post-of-the-day award*
Will Venice pay to see those pesky rude Scottish peasants out of our civilized mainland Europe?
Having seen what those perfidious Scots are forcing the poor Austrians to our north to eat, Venice could be persuaded in this matter.
Thank god Morfeo is anything but pretty!

Sometimes I suspect you're missing sessions just to delay the inevitable Brandenburg steamroll.

No, it just means that the nation you want to transfer control to needs to occupy a province next to the one you've just sieged, so no problem with vassal-feeding

I think Morfeo gave up on the game too easily. The Mamluks have recovered surprisingly well and even took some land back from the Ottomans (though their situation is hopeless now since they're surrounded by three players).
Haha yeah, he'd be doing fine if he'd stayed around. Oman probably not though :+
Saw this video linked on the EU4 community page, and it certainly sums up diplomacy in EU4.
I was thinking of one way to spice the game up, well maybe atleast.
How about we create "mindsets" that we hand out to each player like "You should be a cunning warmongerer that isnt afraid to stab your friends in the back" then you have to follow this description in the game?
Of course we need someone that isnt in the game to hand them out but that is easy.

Ahahaha, so you want to blame your behavior on someone else.

that new patch was certainly interesting
Tell me about it, lost a noticeable chunk of income.

The Mamluks AI has been surprisingly resilient. They gave Uzzy a lot of trouble and sent the entire Ottoman army packing when they tried to invade. If Morfeo was still in the game, it would definitely be more interesting, with a lot of competition for east Africa.

The westernization events have been timid so far. I keep getting the event that gives me -1 unrest, at the cost of 10% national income. That's a really good trade off. The worst thing to occur was that awful -30 legitimacy event, which made me vulnerable to the internal conflict disaster for a long time. Fortunately, that never ticked above 50%, and now I'm only a few months away from finishing westernization with enough points to tech up my military and diplomacy.
Venice AAR:
Fuck the Mamluks. Fuck em hard.
So I DOWed the freed nation of Achaea and bought Thessaly off Qara Qoyunlu after they westernised, then decided that trying to find a route to India the direct way would be a great idea. Claims were made, and the glorious Venetian Marine Corps charged onto the beaches of Egypt. The early stages went well, until the Mamluks doubled their army and wiped out my 40k large army. What a mess. The Venetian nobles seemed to think poorly of my performance, and rebelled against me, taking Venice itself before the rebellion was put down. The only thing that worked was the Mamluk navy foolish deciding to leave port, and getting entirely destroyed.
Driven by a sense of revenge (and stubbornness), I rebuilt my army and raised another mercenary horde, and started attacking from Moroccan land. It was slow going, as I spent most of the time avoiding combat with the Mamluk forces while trying to siege provinces, but eventually they ran away. Clearly this was out of fear of Venice's wrath, and nothing at all to do with the Ottoman's attacking them through Syria.
Provinces Gained: Achaea, Thessaly
Provinces Lost: None (thankfully)

My westernization was nothing but stab hits, legitimacy/prestige hits (finished westernization with 9 legitimacy and -80 prestige) and large rebel stacks, so you definitely got lucky there.
