Won't stop picking the right nation
Yeah, Haly did well with the Inca, and that was after he switched a few decades into the game. It should work out as long as EMT0 has some sort of agreement with Jwitjes.
Aggressive Expansion all day erry day.
I gotta finish my Gelre game with the new Beta patch. I need finish and show Kab my fleet that has more heavies then the rest of the world combined
And I've still not been able to survive long enough as Gelre to even form NL :X
Its all about that French alliance!

Okay, so I was thinking of a fun little challenge, if anyone of you is up for it. I might try it myself at some point.
Goal: Own nothing but island provinces, and own all island provinces in the game. No provinces that are on land are allowed.
The definition of island in this case is: A province that is surrounded by water and not bordering any other province, except through a strait crossing. Provinces that span multiple islands as one province (e.g. Baleares) are a part of this. Provinces that are land with some islands attached to it (e.g. Dalmatia) are excluded.
You may only play as a nation that starts on an island (e.g. Cyprus or Naxos).
Babby mode: Multi-province islands are allowed/required. This includes all geographically defined islands. For ease of definition, this means:
Bonus points: Capture Ile-de-France. No other, bordering provinces are allowed to be owned.

Iceland, Greenland, Ireland, Britain, Sicily, Madagascar, Ceylon, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, all of the Philippines and Sunda Islands, Cuba, Hispaniola, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.

Well I'm already bored of Maya. The entire mesoamerican region has the same problem as the HRE where the alliance networks grind everything to a halt. Unlike the HRE, however, there are no outside influences that can tip the balance.
Colima vassalized two guys.
Aztec vassalized another guy and allied Kiche.
I fully annexed Itza, Zapotec, and Cocomes and I'm allied with Aztec.
I can't get enough provinces to trigger reforms, and I can't risk attacking either Aztec or Colima. Again, Paradox, why would I want to lose 10 provinces I painstakingly cored? And how am I supposed to survive such a schism with the power blocks of Colima and Aztec nearby ready to vassalize/ally whatever new nations form in the wake of my contraction?
This whole Nahuatl/Mayan is just poorly conceived. I don't care if it's historically accurate that the Mayans and Aztecs couldn't get their shit together. It's uninteresting gameplay, gameplay I'm paying money for.

These responses confirm I am in the right group here, joy at last. Frederick I of Prussia.
Hey, this was my strat too!
Yep, finally I get some recognition for my playstyle! Fanboi on the other hand, he is in his own league when it comes to both stabbing and backstabbing.

Has freakzilla said whether or not he's participating? Or is he still too busy with F1?

Man tell me about it. Sometimes the rebel stacks are bigger than the population of that province.
In my Kilwa game, I was struggling so hard with the stupid inland Horn of Africa areas (the Coptic countries for the most part, but also some of the others) because there's mountains and rivers everywhere, and I rolled only like 0-1 or 0-0 generals while the rebel stacks got godlike ones. I consistently lost even when attacking with an army two or three times the size of the rebel stacks. I consistently had to go over my force limit and heavily hemorrhage money just to beat those rebels sitting in their stupid ass mountain rivers.
Kilwan gold be blessed.
Alright. Hopefully next time will fit better with my schedule.
It's the same place where you find the Papacy/Curia or HRE. Bottom right, next to the map.
Aaaah, thanks, I looked into the stability/religious tabs.
Took me a while to find the Mayan reform page. I had the same idea as you.

should we just give Gamma the go-ahead? If Freakzilla wants to join he can pick what's left, haven't seen him around in ages anyway.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/member.php?u=69388
He hasn't been inactive very long on GAF, and even posted yesterday so no, no need to give Gamma the go-ahead now.

"Do unto others as is necessary to prevent them doing it unto you."
Isn't this the case of *any* OPM in Western Europe?
Also, in my last ~10 games, Friesland ends up being the big power. Not sure if that is due to chance or a change. But before the last expac, it was always Gelre or Utrecht.
I can confirm you can go down again:
Yes, I am Aztecs and I have two provinces
I had complete Mesoamerica, but for every province you have, you get +1 doom per year, so after reaching doom 95 I cut down my provinces from 20 to 2 and kept a) a strong vassal and b) a strong ally. And then I just fast forward waited.

Alright, I'm in. Got a little bored after getting whooped last time by Morocco and Aragon in like 10 years or something.
This time I'm gonna play as Bengal.
You can post here. It might as well be the community thread because it's 1000 times more active.

I'm not sure if giving handjobs behind the train station for crack should be considered a "sex life" in the proper sense, though
But he has like kids... oh, wait that is then most likley Morfeos doing.
Cuzco and Bengal, hmm. Where will Kab run now?
Gamma is next to chose. And then Chuck Norris.
What can I say, its fair to say that I played a role in it...
he got her number from me back in 2004

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.
