    Default Whats the largest anyone has expanded?

    in SP or MP.

    as the british empire i once had in EU3(before NA) the UK(+ireland) north america, italy, north africa and west africa and then denmark, trebizond etc as vassals.

    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.

    No I just took my time have you ever played France. It is outragously powerful if you get it right. I was also so powerful because I vassized England.

    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.

    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:

    I had a huge Ming empire I was posting on here. But my current Austrian WC campaign is going considerably better, with the added advantage of being in the latin tech group as compared to the Ming. I'm still very early in the campaign... I'll probably take over the world well before the game ends. Well before, oddly.

    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.

By the time this happened it was like my third war with them and i had already taken half their empire in the previous wars....i admit tho i did try to turbo annex the varinjyuwhguwhergw gwhatever the **** they called in india but didnt succeed cos japan took the province i was trying to make rebel... - this was just before the game was to end so i wanted to gain as much as possible at that point.

    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.
