First one, Mamut and me, he's playing Brandenburg (with CB all over Germany), and me Poland:D. Ah, and we're playing with my mod. It was quite long ago, so i don't remember much...

First, he annexed Magdeburg, while i Dowed Golden Horde, captured all it's provinces except Samara and Kalmuk, when rebels popped up in Kalmuk... yes, you guessed it, i captured Samara, and waited till rebels capture Kalmuk:D I got non CB 12+ provinces, BB was at respectable...

My stability costs were multiplied by 10, i suppose... i was able to avoid non-nationalist revolt at stab +3, but you guessed it, with such high costs, i supposed it wouldn't last...

Well, but game didn't last much longer. I only waged a war against Pommerania, and offered Mamut Western Pommerania. Though Danes took it immediately as Pommerania lost control of all provinces. Was Mamut pissed:D

Well, at least he helped fighting mine rebels. So i gave him my maps (i got military acces through Nogai, Uzbeks, Chagatai, and was about to discover China...)
Though he didn't had port province, and couldn't send merchants to Samarkand, as it is considered "overseas". So, now you understand that Pommerania case:D

Well, not much more hapenned, so next:

Me-Burgundy, Agent_Penguin-Britanny, and Unlimited-Scotland.

Nah, that was fun. I hosted, so we played at very hard. Guys were somewhat surprised:D
Anyway, 100 years war ended ASAP, but i made alliance with Britanny.... Meanwhile, Scotland stacked it's troops and got severe budget trouble, two loans, negative income... i started feeding them with cash, and they used it to build more troops... uh...

Anyway, me and Penguin got allied, and after France annexed Lorraine, we completly trashed their alliance... Penguin got Maine and Vendee, i all other French provinces except Lorraine, and also Bourbonnais south province...(good deal, wans't it?:D)
Next thing we did was Dow against England. Trashed them too, though they didn't wanted to give up provinces... Penguin was leader, and finaly he made peace for money, grr....(ah, England annexed Orleans, of course)
Meanwhile, Unlimited and his Scots were heavily beaten by England. Man, i felt so sorry for him, that i kept feeding him with state gifts (actully, i send 200d to England, by pure mistake:D)
Later he invaded Ireland, but got trashed again. And again, versus England... (we told him not to do it, wait till we attack England-i was already building fleet..., to no avail. He paid them 200d, and left the game...)
Anyway, sometime in between Aragon, Catalonia and Portugal Dowed Mighty Burgundy led by Maur the Mercilles (Charles the Bold died early;)). Well, seeing 100k Aragonese invading former southern province was fun... fortunately i had abou 60k cavalry left from French war. So, really huge battle in Languedoc, and it's my war now. I captured all of Aragon (i will get some cash and Rousillion). Wanted Portugal maps, but they stacked big troops on mainland (i signed WP with castille, what a moron i am...), so began expaniding fleet.
Ah, and meanwhile we waged second war against France. I got Lorraine, and Penguin Ile de France (guess what? He turned into France...)
I guess he is BB now...

Point of that game is: It really interesting setting. I have French, Dutch, German cultures. He has Gealic and French, and also have France CB shields (half of my territory). So i suppose our alliance won't last long...

And it also means that our colonies will be compatible... same first state culture...
Unfortunatly, save game seemed to not work, so we stopped. (his comp hanged up when he tried to choose country). Hopefully, it will work with autosave.

But the point is, i'm too strong now. I could easily vassalize him. So we need another player, or two, for balance of power. Castille, England, or Austria preferable. Volunteers?
 
Yeah, it was fun:D Strange setting, but it worked (i mean Brittany, and Burgundy). Though Burgundy is too strong...


Well, i dunno when we will be playing next. I had to ask Penguin about that.

Ah, and it's 1430s, so it's pretty early yet. So, what country do you want?
