2nd for paradoxplaza

well well well
carrying on from last thread it's taken nearly 6 years but I've driven the Germans back, all the way to the Rhine. encircled around 20 divisions in Alsace Lorraine and am endlessly raining down V1 rockets on their industrial centres and hampering unit movement.
given I'm using defensive doctrine, it's been an insane grind but it looks like I might have pulled it off. so long as Austria stays neutral I've almost certainly got this now.

current losses are France 2.6 million, Germany 4.1 million. Britain has been sat on their island for years doing nothing.

Fifth for Georgia

Sixt for gassing russians in vic2

7th 4 literal god.

After the passing of the Serbian monarch a power vacuum was left in the western Balkans. Acting swiftly Roman armies have moved in to secure the southern section bringing it back under the control of the Emperor.

Meanwhile Venice strikes southern Greece in order to capture the city of Athens and the Ottoman Turks are fighting a close war in Anatolia in order to assert their dominance.

An opportunity has arisen to expand but the court is split between Greece and Anatolia.

How did you win first war against Ottomans?

Kojak.

They attacked another Beylik and I jumped in on it and sieged a few forts down and wiped some isolated stacks of 1 and got a quick peace deal for the southern strait crossing. I jumped them again when they started another war and did basically the same thing and took back Nikaia and Nikomedia. I haven't fought a real battle against them yet because they have a huge morale advantage over me.

Turks are white and based

no

I broke the mongol invasion
oops

Yes

*marches into /gsg/*

To protect our Greek brethren in Athens and Achaea from Venetian rule Roman armies moved swiftly to occupy the contested territory. While it took time for the local rulers to surrender the people greeted the army as liberators.

At the same time our proud navy moved to reclaim the island of Rhodes. After a long siege the catholic crusaders withdrew from the city handing it back to its rightful owner.

At the same time the Ottoman Turks managed to win their war in Anatolia but at a great cost draining all their able bodied in the conflict. With a fragile army it seems the Ottoman expansion will grind to a halt for the foreseeable future.

Casual sects are the best sects, don't go for anything hardline.

Renaissance astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was born #onthisday in 1473. His radical model of the universe placed the sun, rather than the earth, at its centre. First published in 1543, his ‘On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres’ proposed a heliocentric view of the universe – with earth and the planets revolving around the sun. Copernicus had originally circulated this idea among friends in the early 1500s.

Did you try using the ‘claim on French throne’ CB
Also restart if Brittany doesn’t form, and get them transferring trade power before hand
Try and get subjugate Scotland mission early on or claim their throne if you can RM them early on, also advisable to try and ally Aragon, also marry HRE minors so you can expand within the empire more easily
>letting the ottomans getting that big
>playing EZ mode byzantines
Why

You declare when they’ve declared their first war
You build up ships in your first year, all galleys
Use estates the day you declare war
Hire a diplo rep adviser and try to ally Eretna
Also try to ally Naples and take Albania and the Corfu islands after your ottoman war
The ottoman war should be based around getting all of your cores back, MEIOU makes this so fucking easy because of war dynamism, just never meet the ottomans in open field

Kinda want to for making lots of monies but Im surrounded by orthodox and my grandson will inherit stuff in Greece
Ill probably go Orthodox, but this heresy sounds fun too

YOU FUCKING RETARD
why aren’t you constantly going to war with ottomans, subsidise all their enemies

>shitting on white and based Russians
Why tho
>patriarch of alania
Ebin

>russians
>white
>based
"lol"

>Russians
It wasn't russian.

Belarus is literally white.

russia is a land of asiatic subhumans

Really
What was his actual name

>Did you try using the ‘claim on French throne’ CB
That's part of it, naturally, but isn't the system event-controlled? I was under the impression there were different ways to achieve a PU over France, like the difference between France and Dauphine.

RIP daddy...
The faggot king of Alania excommunicated him because supposedly we are his de jure vassal, but thats bullshit, Circassians are strong and independent people

thats a weird hundred years war

*Asiatic subhumans destroy Aryan ubermensch*

What's with the ugly font

>anglos are not white
>but belgians are
Alright, retard

Let's say hypothetically I was playing a game as Timurids and both Ottomans and Russia hated me and were allied, and then Ming, Commonwealth and Bahamis (basically all of India at this point) all also rivalled me should I just restart?

>Almost double the ammount of Germ ancestors compared to Anglos

Really makes you think.

america was founded by anglos
subhuman elements like catholics and mestizos cannot change that

>more citizens of English descent have started to list themselves as “American.”

American rebelled to break off from the inbred monarchist tyrant anglos, Explain to me how does that turn into ''america was founded by anglos''

can the AI for greater bulgaria or is it player only?

I forgot that the American people literally came into existence in 1775 as an otherworldly force for human liberty, and weren't a bunch of Anglo settlers from the previous hundred-odd years getting angry about tax rates.

i maked women CEO

That's just your standard burger claiming that they're German simply because they have blonde hair and blue eyes or whatever, literally means nothing

so an anglo civil war

>and weren't a bunch of Anglo settlers

Anglo,French,Dutch,Spanish,German*

Don't forget the monopoly of the East Indian trade company, which not only suffocated the economy but also limited their sugar supply(the colonies needed this sugar to produce alcohol). Also the parliament tried to force the settlers to house soldiers into their homes.

>why should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our settlements, and by herding together establish their languages and manners to the exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our language or customs, any more than they can acquire our complexion?
t. Benjamin Franklin

good point. true germans pictured
