[Sunsteel]

<--CK3 Vic3-->

Starting position

What is The Grand Chronicle? It's a Megacampaign AAR starting in CK3 and ending in HOI4.
Mod List: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2935924429
DLC: All but some cosmetic stuff

 

[Sunsteel]

Just some flavor I've added

 

[Sunsteel]

Khazaria sees a familiar face

 

[Sunsteel]

Small tweaks in Persia to allow Catholic and Hindu to unite Persia. (Kiz is bigger and Transoziana added to map as Hindu)

 

[Sunsteel]

Sorry I haven't done any of the EU4 part of the AAR, I got a little sidetracked making a mod for Vic3
The mod if anybody wants it:

[Sunsteel]

BTW I deleted all the natives because there annoying and lag down the game
I spat out Bavaria, Croatia, and Slisia as my subjects because I'm way over gov cap

Culture map mode in EU4

If you look down in West Africa (you can see them in CK3 as well) the post-Mongol tag for Africa somehow appeared in West Africa

New king

The Renaissance, in Armenia

First idea group

Found Amerika

Golden Era

GP list because I forgot to show it at the start

Let's go

And that's all for now

 

[Sunsteel]

Btw added a mod Indian Imperialism (can somebody tell me how to get the URL to show the mod box because I can't get it to work)
The first colony in Amerika (I will have to do some loc replacement in Vic3)

Second idea group, normally I would take expansion but I need the gov cap and I don't have any competition right now

Isreal has two cores, both are in Portugal

Colonialism spawned in Hull

First colonial nation (cn)

and that's all for now

 

[Sunsteel]

3rd idea group

Does not look like Timur will survive

The mess that is the French cultures

I just don't even want to know

Colony two (I just realized this color looks a lot like Portugal's old color when colonizing)

and for now that all

 

[Sunsteel]

I have managed to wrangle Italia back into loyalty

That's a big Serbia

Who is currently at war with Egypt over a Polish PU (Egypt is part of my dynasty just as a reminder)

Quick little war with an OPM Leon to vassalize them for their cores

Well, there's Russia for the game

Egypt did manage to keep the PU

Another CN

I captured Castile's flagship

Iberia after I dismantled Castile

The printing press

I would show where it spawned, but it looks like its somewhere in Asia that I don't know about

Just noticed, all of the Sikh provinces spawned in Persia

This is amazing

Another one

That's amazing

I just noticed

First Circumnavigation

The integration of Italia begins

4th idea group

Printing press embraced

Well that's a mouthful

and that's all for now

 

[Sunsteel]

N.America and S.America

It's 1590, and the reformation just spawned (the age will end very quickly because global trade will spawn soon and I don't think the league war can happen because no HRE)

Ming California, that's a new one

I attacked Castile again

Global trade (this means that the age of reformation will start and then very quickly move to absolutism)

Age of Reformation

Colony in Peru

What a nice name

England just flipped Anglican

there's Reformed

I flip to reformed because I have bad relations with the pope and I don't really want to be catholic anyway because that's boring

5th idea group

Rome is in my hands

We are now in the age of absolutism

Interesting

and that's all for now

 

[Sunsteel]

Quickly annexed the leftover Pomeranian provinces over here

Umm, ok then

Secured Sri Lanka

Italia has been integrated

and that's all for now

 

[Sunsteel]

Took over that OPM in the Maghreb

I helped Scotland's colony get independent, then they formed the US

China isn't looking too good

GPs in 1650~

Manufactories

They spawned in Persia

Great Britan is here

I control some more of India

Just kind of funny

Got manufactories

6th idea group

That's amazing

There's some more of India

there's even more

All of my government reforms (I tried to roleplay a little bit)

No hunting

This is something else

The Enlightenment

and that's all for now

 

[Sunsteel]

Enlightenment spawn point

We have a hegemon

Panama Canal

The revolution begins (I wonder what % of players have seen this pop-up, and what % have seen it twice)

The revolution begins

The revolution has claimed a nation

Quite the flag too

7th idea group (as if I needed more money)

The revolution right now (the middle east has no major powers, so it hasn't properly spawned yet)

The mandate has been finished

That is not something I expected to see

The revolution was unable to take hold in any majors, so it died out, that was disappointing there are a few new republics though

This isn't confusing at all

The Industrial Revolution

A united Caribbean nation has formed

And that's all for now

 

[Sunsteel]

China *seems* to be unifying, though the Mandate is dead

8th (and final) idea group

Well, that's taking it literally

Well, that's something

The USA already has land on the Pacific coast

Even if China is unified, it's like the revenge of the Yuan

Russia is not doing so well

The empire hasn't existed for a few hundred years

This is just a thing

21 years to go

The US flipped to a republic

"Where are you from" "'s"

OPM Great Horde

Max tech

Interesting

One more year

Finally

and EU4 is over
