now myself and my friend hope to conquer italy, spain, north africa, ottoman and germany region so one of us will be Holy roman emperor. so we'll end up with our own WRE/ERE type thing going on. I dont know if we'll use EU3 NA or the mod MM. we're england and france at the moment.

[Carach]

made a map of the world after my german campaign (with the province map thing in the game files and photoshop). The grey (germany) is me.

my empire was actually larger technically, i conquered all of india in a war but my attempt at turbo-annexing failed so i settled for lots of gains instead.

[Marku]

me and my friend are making slow progress, we've vassal'd austria after a bitter war and freed all their slaves (netherlands etc). now we want to attack brittany and aragon.



EDIT: combined we can now create an army up to 100,00, excluding mercs, and aragon/brittany are pretty much dead. castile is next.

The most I ever took was all Europe, North Africa, parts of Central Africa, the Caribbean, some Pacific Islands, and most of the US east coast.

I'm starting a new game to take all of India and then expand into southeast Asia and the Middle east, giving me a good chance to seize all of Asia for once. Its gonna take a while though. Its something to work for. I have never played a long game as an Asian faction except Brunei once.

- edit: I found a save-game as an Indian nation where I already have most of India! I'm working from that one now.

Carach wins the thread.

Although there was a Ming player not too long ago who posted his empire. Was pretty damn huge. :hm:

[Carach]

Carach wins the thread.

i could really have taken more too if i wanted.. but i wasnt playing to come on here and say i made biggest empire in the world heh

I think it would be amazing if someone did as much as Carach did with a power that started with one or two provinces and wasn't in the Latin tech group.

[John I Tzimisces]

I thought people used to do world conquests with Ming?

[Nutsack]

I think it would be amazing if someone did as much as Carach did with a power that started with one or two provinces and wasn't in the Latin tech group.

And didn't exploit turbo-annexing .

[gr33kp1mp777]

What's the largest anyone has expanded?

Aye well, when yondar Janet Jackson's jibbly wus exposed on dar Sooper Bowl, Oi expanded aboot four inches or so. Not bad fer a 70 year ol' pirate, whot!

[Garnier]

Biggest I ever got was my third game of EUIII, as france I had all of France, expanded somewhat into germany and italy, and had all the east coast of america plus all central america and was colonising south america. But it was in the 1800s then and the game was going really laggy/slow so I ended up quitting.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

I am going to start a new games as Iraq. I modded the files so I can start with them at May 30, 1453 instead of the 1750's.

We'll see how I do without being in the Latin tech group.

[LSJ]

I didn't know there was an Iraq... I've never seen someone play as them nor played a game where it existed. But I checked and its there. Screw India, I'm being an Iraqi dictator!

Right now in my Iraqi game, it is 1479 and I own all of the Arabian peninsula except the capital of Najd and Oman. The Mamluks just declared war on my ally Qara Koyunulu so I decided to break our alliance. Instead I'll declare war on them and grab as many provinces I can before the Mamluks do. Hopefully I can later ally with the Mamluks, defeat the Timurids, then focus back upon the Mamluks.

[Atterdag]

You can form Iraq?

as for meself..

Glory of Holland and the other United Provinces of the Netherlands!

[Lawrence of Arabia]

Yes, however, you need to have Napoleon's Ambition. Without modding it, you can only use Iraq after somewhere around 1750. I just gave them ownership of the provinces they gain cores on in the 18th century. These provinces consist of Iraqi-i-Arab, Mosul, Karbala, and Basra.

In order to do this:

Go to the Europa Universalis III folder -> history -> provinces

Backup: 408 - basra.txt, 409 - karbala.txt, 410 - iraq-i-arab.txt, 411 - mosul.txt.

Open up 408 - basra.txt

Change it to this:
