BTW don't read too much into which flags I picked for the picture, I just pulled them off the wiki and not all countries have their framed icons on their pages.

WC and One Faith , while doing Norwegian Wood. Just created a Reddit Account to share my run.
I just finished Switzerlake and I’m looking for new, nation specific achievements to tackle next. It was time consuming (AE, coalitions) but not too hard. What should I do next?
I prefer nation specific challenges but I’m open to hitting other achievements along the way.
I generally prefer playing in or around Europe. I have little experience in the New World or Far East as learning all the extra mechanics is a little off putting.
thanks!
Right now im playing multiplayer against my friends, and one of them is running zero forts except the capital but has strong allies and is totally wiping the floor economically, should i get rid of mine
(playing as bavaria allied to a strong france with weak neighbors except the austrians)
I got portugal and castile as pu's as aragon. I can unite spain diplomatically. Should I wait a bit for castile to go get some colonies for me to inherit or just go for it?
The year is around 1510 btw.
I keep getting 40, 50+ year olds. Surely there are some 25 year old upstarts out there. My rulers die as soon as they upskill to 6/6/6. They ascend into heaven as soon as they become good
btw why cant i see anything?
I just released Dai Viet: Legacy of the Tran, an alternate-history flavor mod for EU4 exploring a simple question: what if the Later Tran resistance survived the Ming occupation and successfully restored the Tran dynasty?
The mod features an expanded Dai Viet mission tree covering the restoration of the Tran state, Chu Nom and the examination system, Truc Lam Buddhism and Vietnamese folk traditions, the development of Thang Long, southern and maritime expansion, the prevention of Dai Viet's historical division, and even an alternate Vietnamese colonial path into the Southern Seas and Australia.
It's still being expanded, so feedback and suggestions are very welcome!
I'm starting a no-war run as Timurids, annexing vassals, demanding core provinces from Ajam, diplo vassalizing as many minors as possible. Then form Persia and use Persian influence interaction to get as far as possible with expanding Persian culture.
Any tips on how to do a no war run ?
I’m a very new player (less than 150 hours), so to be clear I bought only the beginner’s dlc pack to learn the very basics before moving on to other dlcs.
I decided to pick a small country after playing a while with large ones and my choice stopped on picking Holland, I want to form the Netherlands, I won an independence war and instantly got coalitioned, where all my allies refused to join and where thankfully they only took my money, then I decided not to bankrupt myself and methodically paid off all my loans (each was from 25 to 53 coins)
Then I picked both of colonisation ideas, because I had in mind colonising Canada and Africa to later get to India and Indonesia
While I did that, my allies being Stettin and Poland right after we did another war with a relatively huge Anhalt and Hamburg, declared on brandenburg which Bohemia protected and at first when I re-checked it was just Bohemia and Brandenburg to which I decided not to pay attention, but then I thought the war was dragging too long and I decided to check again, turned out Austria joined along the way with its vassals and allies (because it had a PU on Bohemia that I didn’t notice, I think?)
So now I’m sitting with Poland (without Lithuania) and Stettin that just were in another war against England, Austria and some vassals, while Poland technically has a larger field army than Austria, it has way less reserves of manpower and this army is tbh nowhere to be seen, Stettin is already getting sieged and it’s only a matter of time until England crosses to besiege either me or rejoin with Austrians,
My ally isn’t Poland btw, it’s Stettin
Question is:
Should I increase trust of France and then peace out with war reparations, annulling with France, with which I have 200 relations to re-ally them and instantly clash with burgundians, to then go and colonise. Or should I combine my 20 k reserve manpower with 11 k standing army and mercs by loaning and try to kill Austria to try and expand into Friesland which holds Utrecht and independent leftovers of Brabant (I made a bad decision to leave the hre in the beginning) via crippling Austria and instantly declaring again on them?
What should I do?
