the weirdest things I've seen in EU4 since I started playing.

You don’t need allies when you’re a Drăculești!

If you’re wondering why I’m not playing with Byzantium and instead playing with Ragusa, the idea is simple: Byzantium feels pretty easy to play to me, so I get bored quickly. And secondly, more importantly, I started with Ragusa because historically the last appearance of the Western Roman Empire was in the Dalmatia area. I even checked, and Ragusa was part of the territories controlled during the time of Julius Nepos. So I thought it would be more fun if, after 1000 years, some guy appeared claiming to be related to Nepos and tried to rebuild the Empire.

the Drăculești are starting to inspire fear :)) you know it’s bad when the best option left to attack is still the Ottomans

This campaign was based on the idea that Wallachia never really had allies throughout history (except during the Battle of Varna). Throughout its history, it got bullied by the Hungarians, Ottomans, Austrians, Poles, and Tatars. So I thought it would be interesting to make a realistic campaign and play without any allies, just like they did in real life.There was one moment when the Ottomans had brought 40k troops to my border, but right at that moment Transoxiana declared an independence war against the Timurid and dragged the Ottomans into the war, so I escaped their attack ;)).This whole campaign was played around the idea of opportunity. That’s basically the entire history of Wallachia :)) they managed to win some battles because of the intelligence of their rulers, not because of numbers, which they never really had.The only alliance I had was with Austria for one month so I could complete the ‘The Order of the Dragon’ mission.”I didn’t even use the vassal strategy because, like I said, Wallachia never had a large army, so it never really had vassals either ;). So this whole campaign is going to be based on the idea of: no allies, no vassals — if you get attacked, you deal with it yourself

Obviously Oirat acts like the prime Mongol Empire when you play in Manchuria ;))

This is my Khodynt campaign, no allies. I’m undecided — I want to release Mongolia as a vassal and take territory from Oirat, and I also want to release Yan so I can take territory from Ming, but I don’t know if I can keep the vassals loyal. I’m still a tribe, so I don’t have states, my tech is pretty bad — I’m at 4/4/6 — and I’m one step away from getting 100% Renaissance in my capital. I’m also out of GC after all the expansion I did in Japan and Manchuria.

Should I attack them or wait and maybe, if I’m lucky, they’ll fall under a PU?

Who needs allies? Wallachia certainly doesn’t.

Chivu and the players celebrating

Is there any way for me to see Scotland’s cores in America? Before I vassalized them, they were at war with the Iroquois, but obviously I can’t see the American continent.They made peace with the Iroquois and ceded them two provinces. Is there any way for me to declare a reconquest for those, without being able to see America on the map?

What could I do to get one more positive point?

First time I see Aragon declare an independence war against Castile.
