Some weird result during my last hand-off game :

Milan actually survived (that's relatively uncommon) and annexed Genes, Modena and Toscane)

Naples survived (that's rezlly rare) and annexed part of the papal states, making Italy a co-ownership between the usually doomed Milan and Naples

Germany was shared between the Netherlands (west), Sweden 7 or 8 northern provinces and Poland...which strangely owned the south-west (Helvetia, Alsace, Bavaria,etc...) creating a large polish territory completely separated from the main of Poland.

But the reason why I made this post is that in this game, Spain not only didn't win, but loose in an incredible way. Despite a quite large colonial territory, she was....36th!!!. with 458 *negative* VPs, way behind all the other surviving nations. I've no clue how it happened. She was defeated by pretty much everybody and his dog, and loose large part of her territory, but nevertheless she had her colonial empire, so I can't understand how she did so poorly....

Probably negative economic and military points from armies marching across Spain...............I've seen them in negative economic points in the 1530s, well after their empire's begun to grow due to this.

Still, very strange though.............:)
 
I tend to play GC 1492, these are only from my diplo-only campaigns played as some minor country. No major powers.

99% extreem:
- Mameluks surviving till the end
- Mameluks taking over Carpathia and holding it for some 2 centuries
- Tuscany taking Karelia, Maros
- no more Austria: Tirol and Salzburg - Bavaria, Styria - Hanover, Ostmarch - Czechs, Presburg - Hessen, the rest Hungary
- no Turkey in Europe, but Istambul: Bavaria, Austria, Hungary, Hannover, Poland and Venice

80% extreem:
- Palatinate taking Cologne, Luxembourg, Nivernais, Champagne, Franche Comte, Lorreine, Alsace
- Holland getting independence in all Spanish Lowlands (including Lux, Hainaut and Artois)
- Norway getting independent in Trondheim (from Russia) and conquering most of Danemark and some Swedish provinces
- Portugal building continental empire (Leon, Andalusia, Toledo from Spain, Tunisia and 2 bordering Algerian provinces, Illyria and Croatia, Lancashire, Cattaract), but in the same game they ended up with 0 (zero) non-european provinces, but Cape Verde
- France uniting Italy
- Sicily uniting Italy up to Pad
- Spain getting 6 provinces in southern France - France lost access to Mediterrerenian

50% extreem:
- Holland finishing second after Spain (among others Holland managed to conquer Mysore)
- Danemark taking Judea and holding it for 250 years and Swedish Syria
- France taking over Iceland
- Astrahan and Sybir surviving till the end (Russia never won a war against any of them)
- Pskov controlling 5 Russian provinces including Novgorod
- early in the game Brandenburg taking Jutland and Western Prussia and soon becoming colonial power
- Knights taking Calais and holding it for over 100 years
- Sicily and Sardinia declaring independence almost in the same time
- Turks taking Malta


Avo
 
From my most recent GC:

"Savoy accepted peace with Scotland on the following terms: The Marches to Savoy."

Also amusing is the alliance England invited me to join in 1539 in the same GC. It was composed of England, France(me), Sweden, and Denmark. Evidently these people all settled their differences over a cup of tea and hatched a plot to conquer the Earth. Morocco somehow was a party to this alliance, as well.

One wonders just how long this particular love affair lasted..................:)

Curious, unlikely or downright illogical alliances were the bane of EU-consider the northern alliance of Denmark, Sweden and Russia which used to leave the Scandinavian countries with provinces scattered across the Khanates...........:(
 
Turkey and Poland and Austria partition Hungary.....
 
Perhaps not so uncommon but Austria took in my last game Hungary, Bohemia, all the German states except Hansa; Northern Italy up to Rome, the whole balkan except Thrace and Morea and all of that before 1700! I must add that their technologies were all far higher than of any other nation (wasn`t it supposed to be just the other way?).
In another game Poland took over Sweden; Portugal annexed Scotland and (most of) Ireland(first time I saw them acting militairy like that in Europe). In another game they were the first country to convert protestant!
The last happen to me while playing Poland: After Edict of Tolerance I was still able to convert to Counterreform-catholicism what gave me the chance to colonize the whole N-america that had been at first fully trade-posted & divided between England, France, Spain, Portugal, Papal States, Scotland(!), Netherlands, Danmark, Turkey(!), Venice, Crimea(!!!) and Wurtemberg(!). Between 1650-1670 all those countries were at war with each other so after 1670 only 4 o5 provinces were still colonized. I just colonized the rest . :D
 
I have a few strange occurences as well:

1. Sibiria owning two provinces in Uzbekistan in 1650's (Sibir survived because I trashed Russia as the teutonic order)

2. Uzbekistan having relocated to Kirkuk, Iraq and Basrah.

3. In my game as Venice I was besieged by 153077 inf, 53471 cav and 455 cannons. :eek:
The Weird thing was that the year was 1573!!!:confused:

Armies from France, Poland, Cologne, Modena and the pope
 
About big armies: In my last game Brandenburg at one moment had armies in every province of more than 60.000 each, and that in 1530! How did they manage it to pay that?
An other thing I just remembered from older game was China, Japan, Thai and Dai-Viet colonizing all of South-east asia including Indonesia, all before 1520 (when I as Portugal discovered these territories) Wasn`t that a bug in an older IGC-version ?
 
Perhaps there was alot of enthusiasm for their Army. Preussia later became a very Militaristic Country:D

Or perhaps they came from outer space (Beam us down, Scotty) :D

So it was all the routed Armies from Their Neighbours that Asked for Political Asylums because they were being harrased by you.

So there is a logical explaination after all!:D
 
Some new additions from my very last game:
-Modena a colonizing nation in Africa (3 colonies)
-The knights of St.John to be the 1st (and until now the only) country to convert to counterreformed catholicism
-England has only 2 provinces left in Britain by 1560, the other are taken by Scotland (no influence of mine, in contrary I helped them because I annexed France)
-The one-province Navarra declares war on me, Poland, owning except Poland: Sweden, Bohemia, Austria, western-Hungary, France, Baltics & whole Germany except Brandenburg,Baden & Bavaria. My BB was 0 (edited), my allies are Spain, Savoy & Baden, Navarra`s ally is only the extreme weaked Portugal. The level is easy & AI agressiveness default. Are they completely mad? Which idiotic ruler starts such a war? :rolleyes:

They're obviously playing with Dynamic Missions "On" and thought that the 30 points they might get for conquering Bearn were worth the risk of extinction.

Does AI have missions of their own? I haven`t noticed it. In the points-table all the AI-nations have 0 point.:confused:
 
I have just witnessed the weirdest alliance ever: Austria, Tyrkey, Hungary, Saxony and Prussia. :confused:


Austria, Hungary and Turkey AFAIK was not on the best of terms in 'real life' and neither was Prussia and Austria. :)

Only if you're playing with dynamic missions.

And only majors (gold shields) get missions. If you want everybody annexable - no missions for the AI
 
Now I encountered a thing that`s extremely weird: I played the whole campaign (as Sweden, 300 almost-peacefull years, only 4 wars & 1 annexation of TO) and nothing weird happened! Even more, it ended almost historical (for the first time ever), except that Poland still existed, although smaller :D I really start to think that it is the player who cause the AI behave unhistorical if not playing the way AI does.
