Ukraine did not exist even as the concept of a country at the time (1468), I am surprised to see it on the map! Actually it did. They just did not have easy time forming a country at any time, mind You, normal Ukraine (not communist) was formed in 1991! | ||

I had merchants on autosend to all CoTs, since our compete chances were already high enough to dominate them all even during my turn. Regarding the inflation reduction advisor, that would be a pretty standard thing to find in my games. You can just mint about 15% all the time, while staying at 0 inflation, and thus not only have a lot of tech, but also have a lot of money. I find that having actual money is almost always better then having the same amount of ducats in pure tech, so this leaves you with a pretty good cash flow. | ||

The mission that I got as I handed over was to annex Ferrara, if we do that we should have a coastal core. As for traders, I tried to keep monopolies in all the CoTs we were allowed in | ||

And seriously, Alsace is not really a colonising nation. I don't thing we should even care about the americas at all. Europe is where it's at, and we are not really in any sort of rivalry with them. As long as we are nice to the colonisers, and they allow us to trade in their CoTs (or we beat them up and force them to) we can take our share of the colonising money without doing any colonising ourselves. | ||

btw ferrara mission doesnt give a port because you gain the core after taking it. have to build it myself  just gonna apologise beforehand for 2 things. 1 the wars i fought were really boring. only against minors and people 10 tech levels below me, herp derp war over in 10 seconds. and secondly the new player gets to start the game with 6 infamy and at war with 3 countries, one of those situations where you cant reach them and they cant reach you and you are just waiting for white peace, not a big deal but after getting handed the game with a clean sheet as far as war goes i feel bad putting the next player in a non perfect start. on the plus side we lose 1.5 infamy a year and are only 2 techs from being able to take cabinet. oh and i took trakai off of lithuania with the plan to sell it to prussia for moneys but i got stuck at war till the end of my go, but if the next player wants to keep it i dont mind :D | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/a9Bfu.png) And so his attentions turned to the near east. Land once owned by the powerful Ottoman empire had since been conquered by Holy crusaders, fighting in the lords name to bring enlightenment to the region. Armand held control over the central lands of turkey, with the heathens to the east, and the Spanish to the west. Although the leaders of Alsace had renounced their position as part of the church, it was still important for the country to spread the good word across the world, whenever possible. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Fon3o.png) The backward heathen armies of the region held out for a mere few weeks before being forced to concede lands to the one true God. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/J54yz.png) As the glorious Alsatian armies marched home, they were once again called on to spread the word of the lord. Heretics in southern Italy and Greece could no longer be tolerated. The risk of their teachings reaching Alsatian lands could not be taken, these minor countries would feel the full wrath of God! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/FSgoz.png) After these easy victories, the armies serving under Armand were infamous throughout all of Europe. Although they had been spreading the good word, there was talking of bullying minor nations and starting unnecessary wars abroad. To ease the fears of his European friends Armand decided to change his course for the upcoming decade, he would reduce spending on the military and instead channel more funds to building up glorious buildings and roads throughout his kingdom. He would prove to the world that those who defended the lord were aptly rewarded! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rQJEt.png) Years passed, and once again Armand felt the call of God, telling him to further the reach of the lord to the east. Although the lands there were rich with foreign goods, Armand had no navy with which to transport these goods back to Alsatian land in Europe. These lands would be costly to maintain, but they must be rescued from the evil Muslim sultans as the Lord had requested of him. Armand hatched a plan to put a puppet Christian king on the thrown of the lands he would conquer, this would stop him having to worry about the cost of ruling over such distant land without leaving the call of God unanswered. Once again God's divine power cleared the way for the Alsatian armies, with almost no resistance it was mere months before a new Christian king had been crowned over the new lands of Georgia! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/aB8qn.png) As Armand watched the world go by, he knew it was just a matter of time before he would be able to expand his influence again. Then in 1645 his chance presented itself, the mighty powers of Austria and England were at war. Although the Austrians outnumbered the English by a hundred thousand men, the English navy was an immovable object between the two nations. The Austrian nerve broke first, with the country exhausted from war, they gave concessions to the English, giving up their power over two minor European provinces, which the English hoped to bring into their control at a later date. But Armand had been waiting for just an opportunity, and although some minor European powers and the broken English came to the defense of these young nations their armies were swiftly stomped out by the army of God fighting under Armand ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KDI7z.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/PbFrd.png) sorry again for the short write up. still too busy to dedicate too much time to playing atm and ive sent the PM to ramong to play next | ||

It was basically considered a piece of russia some of which was in european hands, and the ukranian speakers were thought of as 'little russians'. The idea of ukraine as an actual country rather than simply an ethnic group didn't arise until i believe the 1700s? And didn't get any traction at all until the 1800s in the galicia region under the hapsburg empire, which had relatively free expression and actually actively promoted the idea for byzantine political reasons i can't remember. So the inclusion of ukraine in 1468 surprised me. I was hoping reading the reports would show me some alternate universe euro history, and i'd get some real history from that as im pretty ignorant about most of the continent, but if it doesn't start out letter perfect i'll just read for the entertainment. | ||

It starts out pretty accurate, however the mechanics that spawn new countries are usually not depending on date. I think the Ukraine does not have any cores in the 1399 start. But if specific revolters in that region are successful, the Ukraine pops up. Which is quite logical, since if there is a power vacuum in that area, why shouldn't the local ethnicity decide that they want to govern themselves? Basically, as far as i know, the start date is at least in europe pretty close to history, but very soon afterwards, stuff tends to get wacky. I don't know how good Eu3 is as an actual alternate history simulator. | ||

You need cores on northern and western Germany (Thuringia, Saxony, Brandenburg etc.) so even if you get good missions for vassalizing/integrating this takes a lot of time as you can only diplo annex every so often. I diplo-annexed Brandenburg and Saxony, but it only gave cores on Meissen and Niederlausitz(sp?), rather than Brandeburg and Leipzig. So I released them again, minus the cored provinces. Which wasn't ideal really. I think we're just going to have to eat the unlawful penalty for a while. | ||

Ukraine usually only gets formed as part of a peace traty and swallowed again after a few months, so its rarely in the game for longer periods of time. Back to the succession.
