I'd do it if it weren't for MEIOU :/

MEIOU is pretty much the only mod that provides a historically accurate balkan region. Plus, it's a lot more challenging.

Phht like you could do it Akar, I could. It's not like you've had a successful game as Bar or Athen but you've run France into the ground unintentionally.

Yeah, I know. But MEIOU Isn't really my thing. Too bad though, this challenge looked really interesting. Maybe I'll try my hand at your next one.

Have you seen my other challenge, naval glory? I'm guessing it's not really your thing either lol.

Anyone else interested?

vassalising all orthodox nations just seems over the top. i can't imagine vassalising ethiopia without taking lands in the middle east to even reach them, and to go all around africa with your fleet doesnt seem a simple solution for wallachia unless you get lucky and ottomans give you military access that is.
there's also some clarification needed concerning whether orthodox nations that had converted are still requierd, if you are allowed to form roumania etc.

It's called the Wallachian empire for a reason. No, you can't unite Romania.
I completely forgot about Ethiopia. I play meiou and it falls under a different religion there.

This youtuber is my favorite EU3 commentator. He just started a Wallachia campaign for the Death and Taxes mod and I highly recommend his videos. At this moment he reached part 4, but he usually adds a new part every other day. I also recommend his Lüneburg campaign. He usually posts hundreds of videos documenting massive world conquests all the way up to 1821. The later parts aren't very interesting, but the first hundred years or so are great entertainment.
