I have this feeling there will be some conflict over islands in the Mediterranean between us.
I don't know, maybe you can propose a deal where you get them all

Well tbh I mostly want Sicily. The other islands are fairly secondary.
Goddamnit, I was playing a Cusco --> Inca game to test out some new El Dorado mechanics with the goal to conquer South America and get the achievement. Everything went smooth, one of my least problematic westernizations ever, my force limit was almost a 100, I was rich, got the third biggest army in the world and I had the most provinces. Then Europe became visible and I knew I was fucked...
Portugal, Castille/Spain and France all have colonies in Brazil and they are all allied to each other. Fuck my life.

LOL, you really are out to create the hugest coalition possible against you or what?
Haha, yeah I do, but with my peace-making skills, that will hopefully be avoided this time.

No, you're just the first one who's picking a nation that directly clashes with my sphere of influence.

To me it sound like everyone's picking a nation that conflicts your interest

Not really?
Freakzilla is going Southeast with his Bengal, so there's absolutely no conflict there. I offered ZZMitch to split the Ottoman pie between us, which I feel is fair game. The only topic of actual discussion was the part about Iberia, and that was mostly led by people other than CloudWolf.

Picked Japan.
Awaiting RA's generous proposal to leave me a bit of the Phillipines
Haly's up!

Remember, galley spam solves all problems. Or no problems. I can't remember which.

Only if you accept to be his vassal.
As in 'miss a session, and let the AI build you a massive galley fleet'
Darn Venetian national ideas

That'd be the AI that lost most of that fleet later!
Well, at least they showed you what Venice can do with it's fleet
Plus, Fanboi was happy to help you lose them
Nah, he said he couldn't make an informed judgment of the rest, so he didn't rate them. Which is fine of course.
Don't mind that, just found it funny I still saw someone working in his ratings column while we are already picking

Well I guess I should've kept my trap shut. Now I have both Haly and Morfeo getting into places close to me.
Guess unifying Islam'll be a pipe dream. Oh well.

I have a strong feeling another major competitor will announce itself very soon.

Well, with 28 players did you really expect anything else?
80 years into my Aztecs savegame, and I am still not rid of the Doom mechanic (4 out of 5 reforms done), no clue how you are ever supposed to catch up to the Euros this way, since you cant even make any territorial gains for 100-120 years.

Kab pls.

21, actually. The spreadsheet's line numbers aren't updating for whatever reason.
Not me, don't worry, I can't pick a major power lol. I can't pick any sort of power, I can just pick nominally independent microstates

Also, since Morfeo picked Venice, Naxos and Corfu are, naturally, off-limits.
Even if you picked Mzab, Theodoro or Cyprus, I'd be terrified.

lol.
Unless I was playing the freakin' Ottomans, you'd have no reason whatsoever to be even mildly worried about me.

The funny thing is that Cyprus starts guaranteed by the Mamluks, so we'd automatically start with a player alliance as per the rules. So unless I'd revoke that guarantee and thus put you on a silver platter for the Ottomans, we'd have to cooperate at least in the beginning.
Two months after emerging from a regency council with a 6/4/4 Queen, she goes and dies. Johan!!!
Also, I should have picked Granada.

Won't stop picking the right nation
You're not supposed to join the HRE. You're supposed to destroy it.

Stop manipulating the country ratings, for shame people
Why haven't you locked it ages ago fanboi?

There is one thing that bothers me here, how the hell did he get Austria to ally Granada in 1452? With the AE and the penalties for army and navy? Even a diplorep advisor doesn't compensate those. Unless Austria is totally destroyed in a war. And in his screenshot they still had a healthy army.

If you're a smaller power, the army/navy penalties don't really apply to much bigger nations. Only if you're about the same size or bigger. Otherwise OPMs could never get big allies.
He's got some AE for taking Corsica, but since he made concession in the other peace with Lithuania, he was able to burn off some of it. Plus of course Austria doesn't care all that much about declaring on Lithuania - he did not directly attack the HRE after all.
Edit: Also, Corsica is a fairly low basetax province too, so that helps with the AE.

I've been trying to emulate that exodus strat posted, but Genoa never allies anyone outside of the HRE. Tried doing it with Urbino but the Italians immediately dropped a coalition on me. Unfun after a long ass war with Aragon/Naples. And of course Urbino is outside of coring range, and you can't sell your capital. Bleh.

Good bye dream of uniting Islam.
Only way to solve that is to go to war over Sardinia and take that, for some reason, then you can core.
Red Arremer
Member
If I had known that, I would've aimed to take that instead of Urbino.
No no, I mean that if you have no cores you need to conquer another province and then you can core both for some reason. I noticed that when I did my Theodoro game.
Red Arremer

Oh you mean if Corsica is my only province?
Yeah
