I always try to limit my expansion to provinces either my culture, my religion or my national CB provinces. As Prussia my active goal would be then to unite all of Germany plus grab any protestant provinces that come along the road. Different culture/religion provinces just aren't worth the trouble IMHO.

@Oerdin&Pavlov: nope you press mhh wait ManualCheck-- F11 :=)

@maniac Problem with Prussia is that i started the Game and got Declared on by Poland, Liv.&forgot whom..

BTW when comes reformed Catholism?

That would print it but then I would have to scan it in in order to post it on a web site. Isn't there an easier way?

[Pavlov]

No no you can attach it, simply use the little attach-box in the "new reply" screen.

That would print it but then I would have to scan it in in order to post it on a web site.

Really? The usual Windows function is for it to copy the screen to the clipboard whenceforth it can be pasted into a graphics editor.

I don't know if PrntScrn works in EU2, but I think that the built-in screenshot function places a screenshot in the game/mod directory when F11 is pressed.

[Pavlov]

Yea, what Leo said. Forgot to mention that.

Both works in EU2, btw.

Yes it looks like to me you weren't sure which way to go therefore you took every direction possible but seriously you've really conquered a big empire.

[Main_Brain]

jupp but i growed to fast
had to leave the Game Caus i had to supress most provinces by military Forces=> Thus I had to fight Wars just to press of soem Money of my neighbours.
Didnt think I could make it the needed three years w/o revolutions w/o going bancrupt..
I fired up another Game and will try to control my Expansion this Time

[ThePlagueRat]

Gotta brag, me too...

Well, my own Prussia-Brandenburg was a bit smaller.
Perhaps even when including my colonies won by beating France at one stage. (Take Paris, they give colonies and the map gets revealed )

I mainly went for what Maniac wrote about, controlling German staaten. And join the colony race in the second half.
Getting money for raising troops in the first half was my biggest concern too. After 1700 money often float in abdundance due to industrial growth. (many fine arts academies, in my case )

By creating 22 vassals over time, the badboy value was shifting between 'very bad' and 'rather bad'.

If I could get all of these 22 vassals to join my alliance,
(I had only 5 to 8 as allies) then one could consider them a part of the great empire. right? Well, that's the difficult part! Relation +200, and... rejected,rejected,rejected...
Aaaargh, I'm a bad bad boy...

I'm sorry, I have no screenshots. Otherwise, we could compare them.

bragging complete.

[Main_Brain]

brag more!
I would Post my Kurpfalz/Palatina Screenie but 1) Im not at Home and 2) I edit my BB (shame )

[Colonâ„¢]

This is my Austrian empire, which I've been playing with recently. It's not really huge, but the nice thing is that I never made any enemies because of my expansion, BB was very low or zero during my entire game till now. I only snatched away a couple of provinces away from my major power neighbours.
