For me:
- Finally making France accept a humiliating treaty while playing as Burgundy.
- Overunning the Golden Horde as Muscovy
- Taking back the Balkans as Rome.
- Having so many vassals that they alone can defeat Spain's 100,000 man army.

One of the ones I can remember is crushing France in my first war against them as the Netherlands, leading to much easier subsequent conquest of their lands in later wars, and pretty much pathing the way for me to become a European and World Superpower.

As France, beating England and Spain (Castille inherited Portugal in the 1410s as well) at sea, and Spain + Austria (HRE) + Milan on land.
All at the same time.
Rallying up my coalition of minor nations to clash with the alliance of the bigger and scarier neighbors. Exit the war victorious. Never gets old. I especially like doing it while playing as an Asian country. The geography makes for some interesting alliances.

Getting gang banged by Portugal, Castille, Poland, Lith, Ukraine,Novgrod in a 7 year war as TO and surviving while taking land from a couple.(my little 11 carrack navy whittling down Castilles navy also so they couldn't send many more troops.)
Early game also so my nation got overrun twice during that war.
Cas had taken Gotland and Danzig from me and it took 6 years with at least 4 of those years with 15+ WE for Cas to give me back Danzig. Stubborn bastards.

*Crushing France as Austria
*Taking all of Frances possessions as England in the 1600's (and spains too).
*Nearly forming Germany as early as 1640.
all on very hard difficulty.

It is not very hard to do, but I always like it when I crush the ottomans and they are finally out of Europe![]()
Forming 1914 Germany and vassalising all my neighbours in a great empire for the Kaiser!
R.I.P. Eoin B. I'll miss you Grandad :'(
Vassalising the ottomans as a peace treaty after a war that I lost!

-Being a two province Irish nation and managing to crush a full strength England on there territory.
-Managing to repeat that success in another game but in ireland itself as a one province nation, beaten back continual large stacks until they gave up and allowed me to form Ireland within the first 50 game years.

As Ireland(While having the whole of Ireland plus Wales and Cornwall. which you got with French help), randomly inherit Scotland without even a PU, then attack England again, beat them enough to grab the areas arround Northubria and York, then proceed to establish the United Kingdom of Ireland, Scotland and Northern England to protect the northern english catholics from the protestants.
Every single small detail adds to the irony =D
I went on and conquered India as Rapjunta with a cavalary based army, i had only cavalry so i literally kicked the ass outta everyone in my path, and when i westernized i had noone to stop me, not evne europeans![]()
xD rap junta, funny! but that really is their name i belive...full offensive+full quantity+cavlary only army+100% army tradition+ some national ideas that benefits my cavlary= no one stood up to me, not evne ming![]()
In Magna Mundi, occupying a massive chunk of Russia and the whole of Poland-Lithuania as Sweden always got me fired up good. I tended to play the music in this part of Potop while doing so. The massive amount of territory and seeing all of those blue stripes everywhere... ah... if only AI nations didn't get economic bonuses and rebuild their country & armies like nothing happened as soon as the peace is signed, then attack you when the truce is over and you're still recovering from your own victory while they're now fresh from being completely destroyed...
Having Europe in basically 2 coalitions in an Netherlands game and then proceeding to have a First World War of soughts, and winning of course!

Analysis should not be diverted by reflections upon the zeal with which the victors at the end of the Second World War punished the defeated for war crimes. The victors were animated by the ideals of the Atlantic Charter and of the United Nations. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was about to peep over the eastern horizon. But first, they wanted a little hanging.
As spain quickly crushing north.wester africa, burgundy (got lucky when they got in a war with france and depleted most of theire soldiers and annexing nearly all of it) before forcing a personal union on naples and annexing most of the very large bohemian emperor of the HRE clearing way for further incursions. Then devouring most of france, portugal and aragon along with some other small states in the first 150 years to be able to support like well over 200k soldiers (only had 175k so I had lots of income) along with having vessal and PUs.....
Then to live in fear as combat gives no Tradition to me and if I actually win the enemy get heaps.... Whilst they are somehow able to field excellent generalls all the time as well as a number of medium ones. Because if they attacked with 1/10th my soldiers I would lose.......... And getting involved in a war with russia which had multiple near maxed generals whom when I outnumber 10-1 they will inflict casulties on me at rates exceeding 20-1 whilst attrition brings my W/E up and I run out of soldiers.....
