I was playing as Japan when I got pop-up about Ming announcing Russia as a new rival.
So I go to Europe and see this:
How many strange things did you noticed?
Not visible on the screenshot but Bohemia is Protestant HRE.
So I go to Europe and see this:
How many strange things did you noticed?
- No Ottomans
- Poland inheriting Austria (take that von Habsburg)
- Hungary owning land in Asia Minor
- Stronk Serbia
- Albania exist
- France inheriting Brandenburg
- Aragon conquering Castile
- Stronk Cologne

This one is not THAT strange as Mamluks occasionally win against them
This one made me laugh
Serbian wet dream: stronk Serbia, no Austria and no Ottomans
As if they were not enough scary without it.

One of the benefits of EUIV's more deterministic nature is that Breton NA is unusual- every country in Europe'd get colonial ambitions in EUIII... I'm torn between loving the new, better, borders and disliking the all-powerful spanish mega-america.
i think i saw Kurland colonize once. Not 100% sure, i'd have to check if they can take colonial idea groups.
Now that would be good screenshot for here

Scandinavia had a bit of an identity crisis. Even for itself.
The Papal States control Ireland and a slice of Sweden. :>
Yes, that'd be a religious center if I remember correctly; they're new things for AoW.

Kurland colonizing land would be utterly ridiculous...

i guess no one can deny Finland acces to Scandinavia anymore
I reckon it's about time I showed off. Mind you - not Ironman. I'm not that good. Still a pretty good achievement I think .
I played as Crete (released as a vassal by Venice)
The goals I set for myself were:
1. Win my independence. Austria & Aragon vs Venice war helped a lot here. Aragonese fleet held back Venetian navy long enough to let me get to Naxos and siege it pushing me over the limit for claiming my independence.
2. Not form Greece or Byzantine Empire. I wanted to do this as the underdog, meaning Crete.
3. Reconquer all lands once claimed by Alexander the Great of Macedon and return them to Greek (Cretean) rule. I got all his lands including all of Greece, Turkish and Persian Regions and his African holdings.
4. If possible, surpass Alexander's conquests. To do that I conquered Rome and much of Italia, most of north Africa and Arabian Peninsula, all of Southern Slavic lands. I also took all of Mediterranean islands and advanced farther into India.
5. Create a Christian "path" between Europe and India. (Conquests of major religious sites like Mecca, Rome and Aleppo helped a lot to achieve that)
6. Restore the Pentarchy (done ).
Fun stuff to point out:
- Granada exists and owns Murcia.
- Burgundy noms France.
- Moroccan Algiers.
- Mali exists despite being a long-standing defender of Sunni faith and being called to shitload of wars.
- Scandinavia formed.
- Ming is alive and well.
- Portugal didn't beat Russia to Kamchatka.
- 100 years long deadlock between France, Russia and Ottomans each of whom claimed the defender of their faith and made it literally impossible to wage any major wars for a century. (almost made me ragequit)
Here are some screenshots:
Whew. Was a bit of work that one. Gotta rest before AoW releases. Dat Theodoros is next on the list :3.

Do you remember EU3 without expansions where colonial range didn't exist and post revealing terra incognita every single European OPM could and would colonize America?
Colonies of Spain, Foix, Lithuania, half of HRE and Riga, yay!
Apparently the King of France decided to take time out of his busy schedule to come lead my merchant fleet.
That was actually better, in my opinion, than the current system. Seeing Spain and Portugal colonising the Americas before anyone else can nearly every single game feels too deterministic.Do you remember EU3 without expansions where colonial range didn't exist and post revealing terra incognita every single European OPM could and would colonize America?
Got into an early war with Muscovy to castrate their ridiculous blobbing into the East. Released Perm and they came out Shamanist.
Not sure if it's that uncommon but I've never seen or heard of it before.
