Funny session. Began by waging a swift war against the former glorious nation of Pasai and made them into a glorious vassal. They have sooo many Indonesian cores, so hey. They're also colonizing so that's also good (albeit apparently in the wrong direction). Thanks for picking that idea group, Uzzy! Then Portugal decided to randomly declare war for one of my colonies. However, with glorious AI maneuvering, strategy and tactics the super-teched western imperial superpower managed to loose that war quite badly without fighting a single battle. I took War Reparations to heal the wound on my pride though, and I must say Portuguese colonial blood money are nice. Hope the date went well, Jwitjes! <3

Now I just have to deal with some reactionaries that's desperately trying to preserve the old way of life around here. We need those casinos and Burger Kings, yo.

Well, I said *I* gained one province. I said nothing about Denmark :p
And tbh, the shit that Denmark gained isn't worth very much, Sweden has garbage base tax. It was a crappy session for me in terms of expansion. Need to whoop Austria's ass if I want to truly progress.

Don't say that, I'm a force of justice and light in this troubled world! It's even baked into my flag.

I've helped everyone around me who's asked for help.

You mean the sun burning down superior cultures or the solar flare hiding the enormous lions that will eat anything that moves, especially in Europe?

The new EU expansion really sounds like a new game. Besides the Free City and Remove Electorate, there two are very interesting when playing with smaller non-Western countries:

Pause Westernisation
Sometimes while you are westernising, you end up where you need to use your power for something else, like boosting stability, but currently you can’t. Now we have added the option to pause westernisation. You’ll still get the unrest from westernising, but there will be no events spawning while westernisation is paused. Most importantly though is the fact that your power is accumulating again instead of contributing to the westernisation process.

Retire Advisor
Have you ever sat there with a lot of money, but cursing the options you for advisors. In the next expansion, you can now spend the amount of money it would cost to hire an advisor, and permanently retire him. Within a month, if there is available space in your pool of advisors, you will get a random new one in the same category. Maybe you get the +discipline one you wanted..

I'll probably be free, so if you want to get in touch with some objectives and the like, I'll be happy to step in again.

Total War: Shogun 2 has more interesting peace time mechanics than EU4. Also, the lack of C&C and TA entirely invalidate that list, even before they put something ahead of Alpha Centauri. Shocking stuff.

Due to a dinner party I might not be able to make it tonight, but I will try.

Maybe talk to Uzzy or Jazz or someone else and see if they'd be willing to play for you tonight in case you can't make it?

I don't want to miss out on getting London :D

I'm unfortunately not joining today because I'm moving and therefore I won't be home for the session. And I think I'm going to drop from the game since the AI is playing more for me than myself ^_^'

Have fun guys (and KingSnake with my territorial holdings)

Yep, I am available today.

Also, I've done probably 20+ full play through as Brandenburg or Prussia.
Hopefully Steeven is good with this, then he can get Finland, I can get London and we don't risk the stupid Prussian AI joining the dumb HRE religious wars.

Total War. Ahead of EUIV.

Why are the Imperialism-games never featured on lists like this? They were amazing imo, and pionered quite a few of the mechanics that would rather be used in another great game Victoria which is also not on the list. And where is Colonization??? They got the first spot right though, I will give them that.

Well, I didn't want to happen like this, but on the other hand I didn't want to take a human player
not named Fanboi
out of the game, so maybe better like this.

So, Portugal is a free game now, right?

The next expansion hasn't even been officially announced yet. Usually there's at least a two month gap between announcement and release, but they're already doing dev diaries, so who knows. You can always start a game now and stay on the current patch even after the new one is released.

Posting these here because I really wanted to share my very fun Germany game with my fellow EU4 gaffers and this seems to be the only active thread.

First, my very sexy looking German borders. I spent most of the game limiting my expansion because I wanted my borders to look nice:

Muscovy in a PU, Hungary is a vassal and the little green state in Italy is my client state.

End results so far as of last night:

Muscovy intergrated and some cleanup of the borders, Hungary is still a vassal (intergrating now) and my Italian client state almost has all of Italy fed to it. Still a lot of cleanup to do in the last ~60 years but I'm basically invincible at this point. 500k troops of my own, full prussian ideas, offensive, defensive, quality & quantity military ideas and my Italienreich has 100k troops of it's own. I'm also pulling in 120 ducats a month from Lubeck even with all my army size.

AAR: Lost 11 provinces, but gained one, and since every AI-nation in the world hates me, I am going to annex the pope next time just for the fun of it.
