Doesn't the game end in like 20 years? How are you gonna fight enough wars with Ming in that time to take all of that? (destroying your stability is a given, I guess?)
You can start at 1356 but I started at 1399 still, since Ottomans are in a much better position then (basically the same position as regular Eu3). You're stronger in 1399 then you could ever be starting in 1356 and playing until 1399.
So it is 1822 and the last country in Europe was eliminated.
The world on the eve of the final war:
The plan is to war Vijay and Ming and occupy them completely. Along the way I will declare war on the smaller nations and occupy them. Once my warscore is at 90% with both Ming and Vijay I'll take as many provinces as I can, going over the infamy limit and going to war with everyone left in the game.
The thing that is holding me back actually is my rate of diplomats. I get 7/year and its still not enough, a dozen+ countries just sitting waiting to be annexed.
I ran the game with my usual 0% inflation, the inflation in this pic is from events when I was over infamy. Not sure why I bothered spending money on stability, the last 40 years my stability cost was like 1.4 million per point.
My military:
The first big jump is when I inherited all my PUs, the second is when I said lol infamy.
And now in celebration of the new hotness I am uninstalling Eu3 and deleting my 17 GBs or screenshots and save games.
