As the world progressed towards the 18th century, central Europe was in a state of flux.

The Holy Roman Empire was waging a civil war after the unlawful annexation of Prague by Bavaria. The Netherlands were on encroaching on the edge of Paris, as France tried desperately to hold its state together. Britain united under Seymour leadership, and the Teutonic Order and Brandenburg are both going for ebin gross Germanium runs.

The south was somewhat quieter. The Byzantines held the Muslims at bay, and Portugal tended to its colonial holdings in Mexico and the Caribbean.

In Navarra, the king, Daniil I, was able to secure an iron grip on the throne, removing most of the old civil services that had gained power before his ascension. This was not the first occurrence of its kind in Europe - the French and the Bavarian rulers had also made themselves absolute monarchs in their own lands, whilst other nations such as Great Britain and Denmark, along with most of the rest of the HRE, allowed their parliaments to grow strong, and reduce the power of the monarch.

After being doubly assaulted by Brandenburg and Russia, the Teutonic order lost significant amounts of land in the Beloozero and Prussian regions, as well as releasing parts of Poland.

After this, with the backing of her government, the Duchess of Brandenburg proclaimed herself Queen of the Prussians, and proceeded to exit the Empire, following the example of the Netherlands.

With this, the strongest members remaining within the Empire are Meissen, who control the Austrian region and parts of the Rhineland, Bavaria, who survived a coalition against their taking of Prague, and Avignon, who stretch from Provence to Pisa.

Inspired by the Prussian exploits in Germany, Daniil I declared for the city of Toulouse, that should rightfully be in Basque control.

After ensuring the loyalties of Portugal and Great Britain, the first battle occurred in Toulouse itself, where the 40 thousand strong entire standing army of Toulouse was wiped out in an outstanding offensive, utilising the volley techniques developed by the Dutch combined with the fast cavalry flanks first used by the French.

After battles raged in Toulouse between hundreds of thousands of men - with the Iberian alliance losing the least men, but the French alliance winning the battles - the Portuguese decided on a new approach.

Taking up defensive ground in Narbonne, they attempted to hold off a French army over four times their size. This gave Navarra the opportunity to use her armies in Lapurdi and Guiena to remove the seiging armies there, without any French interference.

"The Concert of Europe, c.1839. The Bourbons and Habsburgs reign supreme on the continent. The latter, though their Empire is no more, have reestablished their hegemony in southern Europe via the [somewhat] new Empire of Austria.

To the south, the Balkans are a simmering pot about to boil over if left unchecked. Westward, the Italians are, for the moment, content under the Franco-Austrian system of co-rule. To the east, the mighty Russian bear sleeps off its recent meal---the direct annexation of the 'Congress Kingdom' of Poland.

The Germanies lie to the north. The Kingdom of Prussia, now undeniably a great power thanks to the Congress of Vienna, has asserted herself over the myriad duchies, grand-duchies and even a few smaller kingdoms in the north. Austria reigns supreme in the south.

The mostly ineffectual Ferdinand I is Emperor of Austria. His Chancellor is Klemens von Metternich. It is the eve of a many great happenings for Austria, for the Concert of Europe, and for the world."

Although most of the battles during the Toulousain war were lost, they were won in a strategic sense - hurt by the loss of so many men, the states of France and Avignon quickly decided to leave the war after the terrible battle of Toulouse, leaving the much weaker Toulouse unable to defend itself for long.

Tolusa is finally in Basque hands, but at the cost of over one hundred and twenty five thousand Navarran men - excluding those lost in the colonial battles and the Portuguese losses.

On November 6, the Treaty of Paris was signed.

Myself, the NGF, and France had been competing for influence in Austria for quite a long time. Eventually, France sphered them and I became buttmad and invaded Austria to install a puppet fascist government. All my allies, including the NGF, joined me and invaded France while their entire army was in Africa battling the Boer state of South Africa (who became a fucking powerhouse).

I added the wargoal of turning France fascist and the German armies handily gave me Austria and turned France into a much more agreeable government. Hungary, Poland, and Romania I believe were my direct puppets but Byelorussia and many others in the region were in my sphere. I staged an armed intervention in Poland after my coup attempt failed and liberated Byelorussia and Galicia-Lodomeria. A decade later. Tsarist Rossiya launched an invasion of my lands and I freed the rest of Byelorussia.

All lands I took were cores; I did no blobbing. My only colony is Egypt, (+ Eritrea, which is under the same colonial administration) which is entirely Ukrainized except for Dumyat. There are at least 2 million Ukrainians in all Egypt.

I'm only number 5 in industry because I deleted all my organically developed factories around 1890 to increase colonial migration to Egypt. The program was a success, but my industry never really recovered, especially since I became fascist shortly after.

For the entire game, I was an absolute monarchy with the Congress of Landowners (Reactionary) and had not a single rebellion. After the transition to fascism, I had several large communist and jacobin uprisings, but these ceased after I implemented the Totalitarian System and removed all political reforms.

In America, the midwestern states all became Dixie somehow. It's very interesting to see.

Rapid changes have occurred in Eastern and Northern Europe over the last 15 years.

The Teutonic Order, formerly one of the most powerful nations in Europe, has been reduced to a mere Baltic state. Nations like Russia and Norway took advantage of this weakness, but Norway spread itself too thin, and allowed a pretender to win the trust of the Swedes.

Poland, having been forced out of the Order by the Prussians, have also grown stronger, retaking land from the Galicians in Przemysl and Lwow.

As Europe enters the halfway point of the 18th century, the great powers are beginning to form.

The French invasion of Toulouse was almost rejoiced by the Occitan people, as a finally united France might now stand a chance against constant Dutch and Navarran pressures. The Prussian invasions of Bohemia and Poland were framed as a Protestant imperative to convert the old Catholics, a brief reminder of the formerly powerful HRE's influence on current events.

Hungary also took up to Warszawa, leaving Poland yet again a husk. Meanwhile, a Swedish resurgence earned them the Baltic regions, whilst leaving the Teutonic Order without any bright future looking forward. The age of Catholicism in the East is at an end.

In event 14680, does it effect primary culture only or it effect every culture in the state?

>>144055752
>independent pink Prussia and Teutonic Order simultaneously existent
What gymnastics has your history gone through?

>>144056497
In CK2, the Teutonic Order was given a shit ton of baronies in the East, and the main power there was a Russian Iqta, which explains how they got so big originally.

Brandenburg were the ones who eventually became Prussia after beating back the Teutonic Order (who didn't become Prussia themselves due to being Catholic).

Increased concern for collateral damage, and the slow crawl of apathy otherwise.

Though the return of a caliphate empire is only natural; it's Islam's intended state, now forced further into extremism because the last caliphate was dismantled and the position discarded.

What amazes me is how the TSA can have the balls to demand more money when they do NOTHING but worsen the situation.

First time playing CK2 in the charalomange bookmark, when does england. france and HRE form up? Its 967 and france exist but HRE is still middle franca, and everything is a mess.

>>144057594

Charlememe is a meme start

>>144057594
Charlemagne has to form the HRE originally, or else it is doomed.
Unsure if the secondary condition for its creation - any king also holds all of Italy - activates if Big Karl doesn't do it originally.

England has to unite organically.
France becomes so once the region latinizes, though Aquitaine and Burgundy will be hard for the AI to incorporate.

>>144040323
>blobbing
you little autistic fuck.

>>144057594
The ai has issues with forming the HRE. It tends to form the Francian Empire instead because its simpler to do. It will sometimes from HRE but that requires the RNG behind it's decisions to roll all in the correct way for that to happen. The Charlemagne start was meant more for the player to play Charlie.

>>144056469
Every culture

what should I be doing with my courtiers in ck2? I play with hip so I just use the decision to auto marry them to each other, but I have a feeling that's not the optimal way to use them.

I saw someone mention that you should train the women to be high intrigue, marry them into realms you want to expand into and use them to give your plots power. that got me wondering if there are other uses I've been ignoring.

I took a several month break from Vic 2 and this thread, can I get a non-meme answer on who Alex Grandi is and why I should give a shit, also why are people forcing liquor meme now

Women make good spies like that and also make for good teachers. Since unless you go Cathar, they can't do anything else besides raise the kids having them get really good stats so they can teach them to your male children is also good. You can also establish a super human breeding program out of your courtiers to try to create Uber generals and advisers. Basically just match couples with excellent traits together in your court. Eventually you'll have a class of Super-humans running your country.

After swallowing up both Meissen and Luxembourg (the Kaiser at the time - the crown has since been moved to Austria), the United Provinces stand to destroy the delicate power of balance currently in place in Europe.

It falls upon the incorruptible and honourable Navarra to restore Europe to what it should be, with the help of its prestigious allies Portugal, Prussia and Great Britain.

The United States of America have also offered assistance in the war, but not for any love of Europe - President Enrique Tellez-Girón claims that Dutch Louisiana is merely the manifest destiny of the American people, united as Europe never could be.

A nation overrun, the Netherlands was forced to concede defeat and sign the treaty of Vienna, releasing their colonial holdings in North America to the USA and Great Britain, granting Great Britain a European foothold in Calais, and release the German states that are now under Prussian protection.

However, the punishment is not done yet for the United Provinces. The French seized the opportunity and started a reconquest of their own, and those with unhappy sentiments towards the Stadtholder are already beginning to demand he step down.

Is it possible to completely Reconquista SA (maybe minus hueland) as Spain? I'm wondering if there is enough time to fabricate all those claims.

Why does this place have so many Brazilians? What about /gsg/ attracts them so much?

Paracucks better make vic3 and it better be good

And with a decisive French victory, the power of balance in Europe has been restored.

Additionally, despite two capitulations, the Netherlands has been able to hold onto its African and Asian holdings.

Also when I form Japan what lands can I get through event and decisions? Does it matter if I'm imperial or Shogunate after unification?

You can have one or the other.

I kind of like the grossbraziliums but the southern cone is a disgrace

In EU4 how do I end the French Revolution disaster and make Napoleon Emperor?

None of my provinces are controlled by rebels, I am the revolution target and Napoleon is consul so shouldn't the event that turns me into an Empire fire?

Is the event broken? It says 'Ruler must be of the Bonaparte Dynasty' and 'Government type must be a Revolutionary Republic' but Revolutionary Republics don't have a dynasty?

What the fuck Paradox I knew this game was shit but I didn't know it was this shit.

Anon is so visibly upset, that he needs to create a post on our glorious thread in an attempt to raise his self worth.

Come at me anon. I am the fucking pinnacle of man, both body and mind. My family tree is a hundred percent complete up to early 1700s (how's yours, by the way?), I have 3,7% Neanderthal DNA, and I attend an Ivy league university, completely payed off by scholarships, with the leftover money used to buy myself a luxury vehicle. My grade point average is perfect point O. After I finish my dual bachelors I will be accepted straight away into the doctorate program. I will have two doctorate degree's by age twenty-five, owe zero debts, and make more money a year than you will in a lifetime. The funny thing is, this is the average South Brazilian /gsg/ browser. There are many who far surpass me.

Of course, knowing this, you figure the only way to attack me is the only way you know how, using words of which the meaning escapes you, insult with some dank memes than no one uses since 2006, and using our own image macros to mock yourself.

You forgot your greentext and "My face when" by the way, the text suits you perfectly.

What do the borders look like?

what're the chances of taking prisoners when you sack holdings as a raider? I've gotten no prisoners despite 10 years of constant raiding and sacking
