The Obligatory EUIV Strange Screenshot Thread

"My loyal subjects, it's time to reconquer Bergamo, our rightful land!"
"But my Lord, we already own Bergamo."
"Too late, I have already declared war on Venice!"

What I think happened was that Venice was already in a war against someone else when Milan declared war, and that someone forced Venice to give Milan Bergamo in their peace treaty, while Milan were already at war for Bergamo.

Mr Pope, I am not sure why building a Mosque in Kazkakh should really increase your approval, but I am not going to complain

Both Great Britain and England exist? What's this?

England broke away from the Empire of Britannia in CK2. EU4 renamed Britannia as Great Britain.

Apparently, the Venetian... king? is not against earning extra money as a mercenary general in the Scandinavian army.

I don't understand how, but apparently Gujarat's Nawab is younger than his heir

 

[Mountainghost]

Common misconception is that an heir has to be a child of the ruler. It easily could be an uncle or older cousin if the ruler has no legitimate children.

If the AI has a bunch of favors built up it can request relative as heir even if neither side is christian. It doesn't really do anything for non-christians since they don't get PUs but they can still do it, so probably when that guy came to power Janpur requested relative as heir with favours

I know that heir doesn't have to be a monarch's child (and know some historical instances too), but didn't know that heir can be older bcs well older people are more likely to die first

They still do even though already same dynasty?

Was having a nice, leisurely Byzantium game when I get this pop-up:

They are not a part of the empire. This is their only province.

On investigating more closely, it seems like Austria got a female ruler which forced the electors to pick someone else - and because catholicism, despite being the 'dominant' religion of the empire, is actually pretty weak, there evidently weren't a lot of eligible in-empire candidates. By which I guess I mean none. Currently, the runner-up for the next election is Brittany.

Who is supporting whose independence while both being independent?

Hrvatska!

Reforms? Here:

 

[overthetop_G]

Ottomans. You had one job.

 

[overthetop_G]

What's happening to the Greeks?

(look at culture)

 

[overthetop_G]

its so over guys- Saxon Greece and no-religion Baltics.

 

[house_of_ghosts]

One of Spain's colonies became independent and formed the United States, which is also a kingdom.

 

[Town808]

...you know, Polish separatists, that isn't really much of a change.

Other goofy things in this game that neither I (Hungary) nor player Venice caused:

• Yet another 3-dev remnant Novgorod (this one in Karelia)
• England getting fully occupied by Scotland while trying to conquer an Irish kingdom... and then annexing said kingdom
• Sweden has had 100% liberty desire and plenty of supporters for a century, but never actually got around to declaring independence (it's 1552)
• The Ottomans have never attacked the Mamluks

Getting some serious CK2 PTSD flashbacks with this event.

Uhhhh Armenia, why is your flag in this war the British started? Are you getting Royalties for the use?

It's the microstate playbook!
- Be Tiny
- Be Poor
- Blend in with everyone around you
- No-one notices you exist
- You don't get conquered
