Seriously? How early was it and were you on good terms? The only time I've ever fought Castille as Portugal was a colonial conflict late in the game when we both had massive territories in the Americas.

1405 or so. I owned Granada but had good relations. Perhaps they had a conquer Granada mission?
yah, conquering Granada is Castille's starting mission. :grin:Quote:

A lot of AI castille's kill Portugal
So, I've started again, and again, as Castille.
I'm currently at 1415 and I have annexed Granada, vassalised Algiers and got Aragorn down to 1 region and Portugal down to 2.
I'm trying to get the quest to the new world idea so am concentrating on getting my trade tech to 7 when the penalties aren't too great. I'm not pulling in much money as I'm trying to keep inflation at 0 so I'm only making about 30 ducats a year. I've just been offered to make Castille an empire, should I do it?
I'm also getting a bit concerned about France and am considering allying with England.
As an Empire you will get slightly faster slider changes and your troops will have higher morale, but you will be able to support more troops as a Feudal Monarchy. The only real benefit from becoming an empire is that your title will change from King to Emperor. Here is a list of the government types and their benefits. http://www.paradoxian.org/eu3wiki/Go..._To_The_Throne
Do you have Httt or Complete? In Httt you will get a lot more magistrates as an empire, making it the better option.
If you are having trouble with inflation then you should probably take the National Bank idea before you consider going for the new world, establishing any colonies with income as low as that will cripple your economy. You should also hire any Master of the Mint advisors that become available since they will reduce your inflation quite a bit, allowing you to mint and still stay at 0 inflation.
I tend to get National bank first, with every nation. But I'm unhappy if I don't have 0.0% inflation.
Current game, I'm giving sweden a go. For such large land areas, so little income. Just took most of the Teutonic Order out.
Current plan (playing with Whole World Mod remember)
Sweden -> Scandanavia -> Prussia -> Germany -> Holy Roman Empire -> Roman Empire -> European Union
Its possible...the main thing will be getting it done before the reform making the HRE hereditary is passed, and converting primary culture from Swedish to Saxon.
Heh... remember when you all said Victoria was going to be too much for me even If I did get a grasp on EU3?
I concede that I may have been a bit gun ho in attitude towards it :laugh4: :laugh4:
I can already tell its gonna be fun, but I sense a lot of reading of manuals and wikis before I have any idea what I am doing. :beam:
But in a more related note, the sun never sets in the British empire once again!
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I love how in all my games Granada ends up being actual competition for me. :tongue: keeps mucking around in the areas I am colonizing.
Tech stinks, so taking a few decades to work on that and build infrastructure. Only wars I do now are defensive wars to help vassals (which I have by the bucketful, so I have wars by the bucketful)
Wow, what is with Persia owning the whole of central Asia?
Isn't that the Golden Horde? :3Quote:

I honestly don't know how it happened, unlike most of the rest of the world I have not messed with the Middle east.
edit: ahhhh looks like Persia has Iran and the golden horde has asia. They are almost exactly the same color, so its hard to differentiate between them
How do you take screenshots of the entire map?
Control+f12 is how I did it It takes a pic of the map and puts it in the games screenshot folder
Hmm, can't find the folder.
F12 is the normal screenshot (IN onwards) Shift+ F12 shows you and vassals etc
Screens are placed in base directory of game then in the screenshots folder. For me thats G:\EU III\Screenshots
If you have Vista or Windows 7 you will have to press Compatibility files in the EU3 folder
Novgorod gets too easy when you are able to form Russia. I haven't had much of challenge after I knocked out the Golden Horde.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I'm aiming to reach the Pacific and take the remaining Tartar lands (in Crimea/Poland/Zaphrozite/Nogai/Georgia).
Ah, but the challenge of Russia isn't in taking Asia- after all, that's what you're supposed to do. The better challenge is in driving a wedge into europe. Or colonizing.Quote:

I end up with -100 prestige and nothing I can do about it! :bigcry:
Fight them.Quote:

With my massive manpower and Land Tech Europe should fall easily. Colonizing not so much, my Naval Tech is ok, but I need cores on the east coast and Crimea to get the range required.Quote:

I have over 650 provinces, 20 vassals, almost 500 ships and an army of over a million men.
Impressive, even with the release and conquer strategy I'm amazed you managed that little infamy with an empire that size. Bravo!Quote:

All that meant that I never really had to stop taking land to wait for my infamy to drop.
I'm sure if I played again I could use what I learnt from this game to gain even more land, but lately I've been more interested in magna mundi.
EDIT: Oh, and the empire is very stable as well, only half a dozen provinces have any revolt risk, and none above 5.
Only have IN, not HTTTQuote:

might have to simply ride it out I guess......
Still can't find my screenshots and I don't have a compatability views button. I found my hidden HOI3 screenshot folder but no EU3 one, even under hidden folders and doing a search, weird.
See if this thread helps

Nope M, tried them but thanks for the help, I've tried the paradox forums and my google fu must be failing me.
Still, if it was easy it wouldn't be worth doing :P
Don't save your games in programfiles, I recommend making a new folder called "Games" and installing/putting them in there. Majority of games like EU3, you can just cut and paste them over in the new folder.
ie: C:\Games or D:\Games
Beskar did this for me and it's really helped keep my files all in the same place; when I had Vista, it was splitting files into that stupid Virtual Store thing that I had no idea how to find because it was hidden away in the far reaches of My Computer. :<
