Freakzilla: You wanna leave Dagestan and Samarkand (and some sort of path to those provinces) for me if you expand westwards? I'll help you with the Timurids (or whatever nation takes their place) and the other people in the area, like the hordes or Muscovy, if you want. :)
I don't need a lot of land to get there, either, just like 3 or 4 provinces each (unless the Caspian Sea doesn't count as a sea zone for the purpose of coring range, then I might have to get a path along the Northern or Southern side of it).

I know people here don't trust me, but I just wanna peacefully unify Islam. I don't wanna have any border conflicts with my player-controlled neighbors. And there's no need to if I can get the provinces I want without waging war with them. :p

You want several Spanish provinces in a game with an Iberian human player, ain't nothing peaceful about your territorial desires :p

Tbh, I'll probably be forced to pick something way above my skill level where I'll last all of three months.

Well I'm at least overt in saying what I want. Everybody can look up the provinces/map needed for unifying Islam. ;)
And of course, any of you remaining peeps could deliberately pick a country to screw up my goal.

Since Morfeo is clearly more interested in the student body than picking a nation, we should move on to Roboleon.

I want my pick, damnit.

Ban is one day, but I'll probably lift it before even :p

Also, fanboi and I were just checking out custom nations (which went rather disastrously for me :X), and I thought this was a funny mistake by fanboi (or is it?)

Hello guys, I do not want to miss the opportunity to introduce myself. So, I am Rick and currently living in germany. As allready mentioned I am a friend and rival of Toma. I played little EU3 and I am new to EU4. On the one hand I am willing to learn and catch up fast but on the other hand I would ask you to be gently to my puppy-leaded Denmark. I am looking forward to see you in game!

This is what EU4 is all about. Settling your personal grudges through the lens of 15th 14th century Europe, just like God intended.

EDIT: I feel like this is a good place to make my proposal for shifting the counting of centuries forward by 1, starting with the 0th century.

Reasoning:

- Centuries will actually line up with their numeric date in years
- I'm given to believe that you Yuropeans start counting your floors from 0, so it's not unheard of.
- In contrast, here in God fearing 'merica, the ground floor is 1, or G, or L*, or any number of arbitrary letters and symbols that are not zero, because we're still scared of it like the Greeks were.
- Below ground levels are B1, B2, B3, because negativity isn't welcome in the US of A.
- Sometimes we skip the 13th floor because it's bad mojo.
- Do you want to entertain a backwards nomenclature that would make Americans proud? I think not.

we already sort of do that in Norway ("1400-tallet" etc). Progressive as fuck!

We actually don't use 0 for ground level here, it's "Erdgeschoss" (which pretty literally means ground level), and it's always shortened to E or EG. Very rarely it's called Parterre, but not in lifts.
Not all elevators use -number for basement levels here either, more often than not it's shortened with KG or UG ("Kellergeschoss" and "Untergeschoss"), and if there's multiple ones, they're UG1, UG2 etc.

Germany as backwards as American confirmed.

Not surprised given the linguistic connections.

Yeah, but in fairness, Austria was considered part of Germany for aaaaaaaaaaages before the Austro-Prussian war. You're basically not Germany on a technicality :p
Click to expand...

And the USA was considered part of England before its independence. The Netherlands were considered part of Spain before their independence.

At this point in time, Austria is partly defining itself on not being Germany. A Großdeutsches Reich, as the German Confederation of the 19th century wanted it, would not work anymore because the Austrians would not have it.

Well, not now no, since cultures have diverged in separation. Your example of the Netherlands is incredibly poor by the way, since the low countries were absolutely not considered Spanish but were considered possessions of the Spanish crown. Rather a major difference. A better example would have been the divergence between the Netherlands and Flanders.

I have this feeling there will be some conflict over islands in the Mediterranean between us. :p

I was going to say Flanders, but Spain felt more appropriate.
After all, the Spaniards were governed by an Austrian monarch then. :)

Either way, after its creation as March, Austria never was part of an actual German nation except for WW2.
