The way I've set up Songhai it'll be over next session.
I agree. It was a horrible misstake to let you play.
Hahahaha that is awesome trolling, fanboi level.
... oh god
The Treaty of Tortillas sounds fun.

Nation Designer sounds interesting. I'd love if it allowed to completely rejig the starting map to allow for entirely custom starts; I'd spend ages designing alt-history scenarios. If it's just "start with France but control all of Europe and have +15% discipline huehuehuehue" then I probably won't use it. Very much depends on the functionality associated with it.
Somewhat frustrated that Paradox has decided to focus on the South American religious groups when the historically much more important Daoist, Buddhist and other such Eastern syncretic philosophies are so badly neglected. Particularly given the source material for South America is so poor that it'll probably be "exoticised" and given rather crass events that reflect pop culture history of the area rather than anything more.
Will wait and see how Gold Fleet mechanics play out. Sounds promising, particularly the interaction with privateers.
Being able to use fleets to hunt down privateers without having to declare war on the country sending them will be a godsend, that's just a basic improvement.
Papal Dispensations could be interesting. Again, depends on how they function mechanically.

Serious though, I completely share your concerns regarding the new religious groups, Crab.

I do agree with Asia being neglected and it's disappointing as hell. :/

that's ok, I have a g-spot in my throat
Scandinavia AAR:
The mighty Gyllenstierna dynasty, who brought Sweden to independence and greatness is no more. Upon starting the game I was greeted by a five-year old ruler and a 0/0/0 regency council. So when I saw that there were pretender rebels for some 17-year old 3/5/6 guy sieging my lands, I was happy to sit and watch them enforce their demands.
The new king introduced a 'kill all Native Americans' policy, so I brutally murdered four or five nations and took their land for the glory of Scandinavia. What a time to be alive.

Venice AAR:
Everything East of Suez is full of dragons. Such a pain.
So Crab left me in a good position, with plenty of money and an idea group to fill up (Plutocratic Ideas are awesome), and with World War 2: War Harder coming to an end, I figured that now was a good time to finally make the leap to India and secure that port. I put an army in Aden to finally kill off the last of the revolting locals, then made my move.
Main lesson learnt was not to be rushed into a move before you know everything about the situation. Seeing Malaya and the Mughals attacking Bahmanis, I figured I had to attack before the coastline was entirely cut off. Of course, with them attacking, I wasn't quite expecting Bahmanis to have a fleet left. So that large fleet attacked my defenceless transport ships and sunk em all. Oh well.
While that mess was going on, the Commonwealth and Venice once again engaged in our favourite hobby, beating up the Ottomans. The Commonwealth attacked over land and Venice's fleet sank every last Ottoman boat. For Venice's troubles, we gained the islands of Chios. Fun times.
Later on in the session, Venice attacked Siena, thanks to the coalition against Venice finally falling away (Milan rejoined the coalition a few weeks after the DOW, but too late!). Siena's massive level five fort was finally captured after a lengthy siege, thanks to massed cannon, but a peace treaty has yet to be signed. Doesn't help that Savoy, who were allied with Siena, is hiding out of reach behind Milan.
Provinces Gained: Chios
Provinces Lost: None

Does it really matter to you if they are planned or unplanned?
I dunno, I don't want to be rude, I'd want to have a welcome party ready.
The dream will never die.
Awesome, I'll bring fine wine and some pasta.
Really? I mean, you realize that that gigantic green blob in Persia and India is just *one* country right?

Uzzy thinking outside the box
Probably destroyed by common core math courses

Like most dreams, it's hardly a particularly rational one.
Well, true, that's also adjacent, but that region has super low base tax anyway.

Because why wouldn't you want to be a part of the glorious Commonwealth Empire?
The Inca didn't do bloody ritualistic sacrifices like the Aztecs and Mayans did, come on now :d
Lesser of two evils at least
Venice has annexed Rome. Well then!
Yes, and if you had money lying around, those are now galleys. Lots of them.
Fixing what the AI does to my navy is always my favourite thing.

I'm assuming the great green blob has westernized.
Roboleon taking the Comonwealth name to it's historic grandeur, I see.

Hypothetical question: Does P.U pets count as a human ally?
Given that your union is wholly dependent on fanboi's desire to stay in it or not rather than you being a dominant player who forced it on him, I'm going to say yes.
