It's amazing I've lasted this long
Gaming 1836 - The Europa Universalis 4 Experiment (Hands-off) - Map & stats in second post - Final Map and Stats update - Timelapse video

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
He betrayed the Spanish Inquisition to defend you, then he attacks you later on. What a dick.
All on Organic Potatoes?
When will I kick fecking @Eboue out of The Hague
@BD has taken the Exploration idea, he wants to get out and experience new things (and maybe get away from Solius for a bit). Though first he has to make sure he doesn't lose against Kongo, who he attacked without having his army in place.
You could honestly probably do it, being allied to Solius and adexkola.
I guess knowledge of this exact part of Northern Brazil just spread, because suddenly @AnotherLondonManc, @KirkDuyt and @Solius are all colonizing right next to each other.
I wondered what giving an extra colonist to everyone would mean, but I think it's working out. Organic Potatoes has still had a lot of advantage from picking the exploration idea, and now BD will be able to get a head start too in new areas. But in a test game I ran literally the entirety of the Americas were colonized by a single country, which won't happen here. What's European history without some colonial wars, eh?

Sounds like Vidyoyo has been gangbanged 
I forgot to do army and naval losses in the update, and I said I was going to add it so I'll do it here and edit it into the post.

Holy feck, that's a lot of losses. Over half a million people dead. 
We lost @Dan again
We lost @Dan again
I’ll be back, again.Too many alliances. Can't get shit done without your numbskull of a pal dragging you into world war 3
I just want to live in peace. Like @P-Nut
How the hell did I lose 561K troops?! Are we using wooden swords still?
@Walrus why don't we be allies? We're both Sunnis, it's a big world. And you fecking wiped out 561K of my donkeys.
Maybe a more structured way of playing - say 50 years every working way and allowing us some input between turns - such as forging alliances etc.
It ended in a draw. You've got a small ally in Fez, but right before I the game they were being invaded by @AnotherLondonManc, so it's basically you vs him right now.
It's possible, though it would be a lot more work for the person running it.
You are already putting in a lot of effort - what is a little more?
It wouldn't just be a little I reckon, since you'd have to start going into save files and modify things.
Im down. Together we can spread the truth of Allah, and drive the filthy heathen from our shores.
Listen, we discovered algebra, pin-hole cameras, coffee, chess, flight (1,000 years before Kitty Hawk), BATHING (yes bathing you smelly English dogs), SOAP, modern chemistry (distillation, evaporation, crystallization, purification, filtration, oxidation techniques), sulphuric acid, nitric acid, the alembic still (for perfumes and alcoholic spirits), the crank-shaft, quilting, the pointed arch, scalpels, forceps, bone saws (too soon?), fine scissors, naturally dissolving stitches, opium, hollow needles, windmills (suck it, Holland!), inoculation, the fountain pen, NUMERALS, three course meals, weaving, astronomy, and gardens for contemplation: and after all this, we are still getting thumped by a bunch of smelly Eurotrash heathen dogs???
@Walrus and @Wing Attack Plan R, I'll lure them to South Africa because they hate my nomad blood. Then you raze their sparse vegetation to the ground and kill'em. May Allah have mercy on their soulius.
No one takes Ibiza from my arld mate
Oh no I occasionally get involved in other people's wars, but never start one myself where I've actually got something to gain.
Lots of bad news to end the day with.
@KirkDuyt, I'm afraid you're being invaded by Eboue due to both of you getting involved in a dispute over colonies (belonging to neither of you).
@Igor Drefljak, I'm afraid this is happening again.
@Shakesey, I'm afraid your colony was destroyed by the natives, and now Wing Attack Plan R is trying instead (also @BD is setting up shop next door)

My civ is like Jon Hamm at the end of the black mirror episode
Rule number 1 of gaming. Never trust @Eboue
You actually took some provinces off Welsh Wonder in one of the wars going around.
Call me when I've seeded Boston harbour
Seems like all the action is in Europe and the colonies. Shouldve picked a better location, tut.
Fecking @Eboue
oh wow this is still going huh
@nimic how long till I'm obliterated from existence
Well you have literally one province, but it's a bit out of the way. But you also keep getting into wars somehow.
I suspect not that long.
When are we going to really go nuts?
