Thread: EU3: Divine Wind Succession Game
My turn done.
About Burgundy: Their provicnes aren't in the empire...
A cool thing that Happened:
What did I do during my reign? Build some stuff. I didn't see the point of the war against Austria, we don't want overseas provinces.
I also may have forced a Personal Union with Norway, Castille and Byzantium, and the war to force a PU with Great Britain is nearly won.

Franz I Stefan April 1758 - April 1790
1765- Franz determines that the Holy Roman Emperor is the most disruptive force to the German nation and declares his intention to disband it permenantly.
1768- Austrian Emperor dies. Emperor Franz I Stefan is crowned.
1769- Franz declares the Holy Roman Empire to be the greatest institution in the world and sets out to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
1770- The member states of the Holy Roman Empire in a free and fair vote unite under German leadership to form the true realisation of the Holy Roman Empire
1784- After a period of building up forces, subduing rebels and minor border conflicts, Franz determines he must prove how holy the Empire is and embarks on a crusade to retake the holy lands.
1785- Much territory is taken around the holy lands, but the coveted Judea remains in the hands of heretics.
1789- A second crusade is unleashed, this time no one but the Emperor's armies are allowed to touch holy soil, Franz hopes this will please God and allow them victory.
1790- The unworthiness of the Empire's pituful allies is proven. The Holy Land is in the hands of it's rightful owners!
Having proven his worth in this life, Franz peacfully passes into the next.

Whoa! I didn't even realize it was possible to make an HRE nation, how do you get that decision?
Very, very impressive. Now we must integrate Castile and Great Britain.

You go through the HRE events to do it. That was the plan when I made Germany the Emperor.

Heh, two years of playing EU3 and I've never advanced that far down the HRE event chain. Guess that's proof of how I tend to handle the HRE. You go through the HRE events to do it. That was the plan when I made Germany the Emperor.

It tends to be a "I win" button. You can get to that stage incredibly fast with some luck.
Still cracking on with the save, currently in 1811 or so, will probably have a writeup of some form up by tomorrow.
I don't like the 'integrate' mechanic whatsoever; aside of the fact that Castille turned it down repeatedly at first, once I finally coerced them I found that I went from 0 infamy to 53 or so, causing everyone to start spamming the HRE with spies... had no choice but to release Castille as a vassal, keeping their colonies for myself and reducing my infamy down to 12-ish as a result.
The worst part is that we cannot integrate Great Britain until 1851, well after the game ends; I didn't know integrate worked like that. >.<

IIRC, it's one diplo-annex every 10 years and one integration every 50 years.The worst part is that we cannot integrate Great Britain until 1851, well after the game ends; I didn't know integrate worked like that. >.<
Well, the game's ended now, here's a summary of everything I got up to:
- heir died in a hunting accident I think, the royal line was assured a few years later with a new one.
- went to war with Alencon after they wouldn't stop sponsoring rebels, defeated them and left them broke with territorial claims revoked... they still carried on once they mustered enough ducats, so a second war was started and they were swiftly annexed.
- integrated Castille and her colonies, but the infamy received was immense and led to more spy activity, had little choice but to release Castille as a vassal and retain the overseas provinces for the HRE, though sold two of their Indian provinces and released another two as vassals, too much hassle.
- fought Finland over espionage issues too, defeated them and had them remove core claims, was able to vassalise one of their allies, Columbia.
- went to war with Brittany for Liberation purposes after Austria had taken all-but-one of her overseas provinces, managed to have them release Normandy, cede their final colony to me and revoke cores. Then declared war on Normandy and annexed before they could muster any alliances.
- hired a Statesman to activate the HRE decision for 'Formalising the Separation of Powers', as well as setting up the East Indian Trading Company, though this dissolved when I disposed of our Indian territories.
- squashed around nine thousand and one rebellions across the empire, in addition to a few pirate blockades... very annoying. Several random events didn't help stability most of the time, had to build lots of churches to help.
- increased all techs to 69-ish, added Liberté, égalité, fraternité and Bill of Rights as final two ideas to try to help with rebels, added the Napoleonic Square as our preferred infantry unit type.
Game save here, saved mid-December 1820.

Well done! A very impressive game, all-round. The final state has us essentially owning or controlling all of Europe, half of North America, and a lot of scattered colonies elsewhere.
Is anyone interested in another game? We could just continue with the same play order, so Beskar would get the first reign of whatever we picked.

Would anyone be interested in a maybe doing the Shogun? also maybe we should have a fixed time instead of reign?

Apologises, I have to pass. I got work the next few days so it is not best timed for me, so put me at the back of the queue. I will allow the person after me (Alexander the Pretty Good, I think it is) to go first.Is anyone interested in another game?

I will PM him.
I'm willing to start a game as one of the Japanese daimyo but I don't think I'll have time until the weekend. If someone else wants to get us underway that might be better.
