It seems that Deseret has a lot invested in navy, instead of army.:p
You should be also careful as soon Portugal and Catalonia are coming.

Catalonia's facing the wrong way, it needs to flip first!
 
This is a very original AAR, thanks in no small part to your mod! I first noticed this in the weekly AAR showcase and I'm glad I did.
 
Alright guys, here's that banner thing that everyone is posting, so I guess I'll post it too.
Maybe an update later today if my internet doesn't have an "episode" again.
 
I like it when people play unique mods, and this one is pretty sweet. Good work so far, I'd say you're far from mediocre
 
How much of that army is actually yours? Deseret doesn't look all that intimidating to me...
Yeah, but the tech lead they have means they can kill any of my armies in an otherwise even battle.

I think that I'll be safe for a little while, at least.

Quite right! Those Catalans could never hope to sail all the way to the Americas!

Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it!

Thanks you. Though, mediocrity shows itself in many forms.(Namely not updating for over a week...)
 
How to Be Completely Mediocre at Playing Your Own Mod Part 7

Hey again guys. I'm really sorry for not updating for over a week's time. I have Thanksgiving break soon, so hopefully I'll start pumping out those updates faster!
Anyways, let's get down to business. My first move is to go more free trade on the sliders.
vERns.jpg


Then, of course, Florida attacks me since fighting one powerful enemy just isn't enough.
X5s5W.jpg


I then take the national decision to declare a statute on monopolies, giving me +1 free trade.
iFyWs.jpg


I destroy Florida's main army, while Deseret slowly starts sieging my Western lands.
rL9Pf.jpg


I get a peace deal with Deseret, for 40 war score.
The main reason why I considered Deseret to be such a threat was that their infantry were way more technologically advanced than mine, leading to massive slaughters.
ITeOA.jpg


While the Protestant Reformation lands in Illinois, I receive an event giving me 1000 ducats. Good deal if you ask me.
VhKdS.jpg


I take 4 of Florida's provinces, and then begin my attack on Tennessee to vassalize them.
dByPF.jpg


I vassalize Tennessee, and my mission is to break a blockade that I can't even reach with my ships.
Maryland also attacks me. (Again)
CPxsl.jpg


I discover Europe at this time, where the only major surprises are in the East.
I also get a white peace with baby Maryland.
JBGmm.jpg


I get another event giving me 1000 ducats.
vQIrb.jpg


5 years after the last peace deal, Deseret strike again.
uo6AN.jpg


I destroy one of their armies, which entailed around 18,000 men.
uMMsG.jpg


Another is destroyed as well. Note how many troops I must use to get a decent victory over them.
CBKFf.jpg


I destroy one more large army, and get a white peace with Dakota.
Now, I can begin sieging their lands.
klgXm.jpg


I kill an army that they made from recent recruits, before making a peace deal to get 3 provinces off of them, one of which was a colony.
qEUEV.jpg


That's all for now. Until next time...
 
How ironic that you release Utah from Deseret :p .

Still, it's great that you're able to start turning the tide against the huge western empire.
 
I can imagine the face of English explorers landing on the shores of New England and saying "WTF?" :D
Indeed, New England is...already named. Would be a moment of confusion for anyone...

Yeah, but they are still rather powerful...

Yeah, that would be rather awkward, would it not?

Yes, many minds would be blown, I'm afraid.
It turns out New England is named after somebody's favorite dog.
Of course! Poor England, he was such a good mutt.
This is a pretty neat mod, and I'm liking the AAR as well.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
 
How to Be Completely Mediocre at Playing Your Own Mod Part 8

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Here, have an update as celebration.

First off, I take a move towards quality on the sliders. I'm getting closer to my ideal positioning.
uxv7T.jpg


I cancel my old mission to convert, and get a new one to convert Indiana. War is declared.
xWs1L.jpg


After a relatively easy war, I make them give me Cahokia, and convert to Catholicism.
I also lose a stability, and get a new mission to annex Missouri.
99bya.jpg


Here is the current religion map. As you can probably not tell due to it being a huge mess, me, Deseret, and Maryland are all still Catholic.
kMfvF.jpg


I get a new idea and take patron of the arts, so I don't have to waste magistrates on paintings anymore.
gM4dj.jpg


I also take the counter-reformation, giving me more missionaries, lower missionary cost, and a higher conversion chance.

Then, Georgia attacks me. I don't really know why, though. Maryland joins them.
P2Xt8.jpg


I take another move towards quality on the slider, and get peace with Georgia, taking 3 provinces.
20ZV5.jpg


I get 1000 ducats from the cessation of church functions. Boy do I love these random events!
I also get some Tercio infantry, greatly improving my fighting capabilities.
BPjgN.jpg


Wow, guess who just got another 1000 ducats. This guy!
Also, I have started to recruit artillery for my armies.
Mf3oo.jpg


I diploannex Missouri, and get a new mission to convert Mobile, which I cancel since I can't convert them for over 20 years.
xOcuv.jpg


I take a slider move towards free subjects, before diploannexing Nebraska. My new mission is to convert New York.
e7IEI.jpg


I take another slider move towards free subjects, before declaring war.
q2VpH.jpg


I convert and vassalize New York. My new mission is convert Mobile, which can be accomplished in a few years time.
mWhI7.jpg


Then, I attack Georgia since my infamy was getting kind of low.
ofOgn.jpg


I take 3 provinces off of them, as well as a bunch of ducats.
OTNBf.jpg


That's all for now, everyone.
Hope you all had a good time with your families! (At least if you actually celebrate Thanksgiving.)
 
Catholic Deseret you say.
 
Well,this is pretty...mediocore.
Keep going
