Thread for discussing paradox games: Europa universallis, crusader kings and for real turbonerds; Victoria and Hearts of Iron.

I've solely been playing EU4 recently on a Florence - Italy game. Managed to unify Italy around 1526, would've been sooner but Milan were allied to my best buds France so I was unable to take Lombardy. Spent the rest of my time since colonising around central America and supporting my marches in Greece and Catalonia (Mare Nostrum!). I'm fairly powerful right now but I went protestant and the league wars fired and the Catholics ended up winning, I think my end game goal will be to dismantle the HRE and burn Austria to the ground.

Has anyone got Horse Lords for CK2? I thought there needed to be horde mechanics since before they brought in tribal government.

Still haven't got HorseLords. Being a cheapskate I will wait until it goes on sale.

Been having fun with my Pictish merchant republic recently. We're the greatest power of the isles but on the mainland some serious blobs have formed that could crush us pretty easily.

My greatest paradox moment was when I managed to unite the Persian Empire, restore the Zoroastrian priesthood and become the Saoshyant in one lifetime

The Saoshyanid dynasty was like the House of Saud by the time I stopped playing, every duchy and above title was held by them as well as the entirety of every member of my Council

Then the mongols invaded
