Shit, hobbers is looking strong. This is a concern. I hope the Sultan has been wisely pressing East while all this nonsense is going on. The religious wars in Europe should buy me a little bit of time maybe.

He's not, but you are. Fez is also a friend of @Wing Attack Plan R, so they're really not afraid of the Italian menace.
Then my salvation lies in @Wing Attack Plan R!
I swear I've seen that colour before...
So have I done anything or has my dynasty died.
You're waiting for global warming to thaw your soldier, I think
He'll be waiting 500 years until the woke cancel culture brigade turn up then
You're mostly sitting there collecting money. You have 39% of the trade power (basically control) of what's going to be the most profitable trade node in the world (English Channel). It's already pretty good, and nobody is even colonizing yet. You're making the second most in trade in the entire game, after @BD.
Your dynasty died a while ago, and right now you also lost the Holy Roman Emperor position on account of your ruler being a woman. @adexkola is currently the Emperor.
You had me at collecting money.
I will rest easy with the thought that Dutch Jesus, like regular old Jesus died for the betterment of his flock.
Cryogenicollins will cancel all in cold blood
@Vidyoyo is temporarily ruled by Ragnhild @SilentWitness, until young Harald Vidyoyo grows up at least.
Okay replacing (almost) the entirety of Ming (China) with a new @Stobzilla might just have crashed the game 
I'll load the autosave and see what happens. It might be an Emperor of China thing, which is a separate mechanic. Confused the game maybe.

If he's out, everyone's out
Okay @Stobzilla the game did not like you replacing China. I think we need a new plan.
PM'd already
How very... suspicious of youPM'd already
If you had given the option to play outside of Europe, I would have gone for a pirate caribean nation with a colonist and ideally, the High American tech group
this is hilarious.@AnotherLondonManc we are a beast of an alliance. I’ll meet you in Corfu for snacks to celebrate your fecking of @Stobzilla to bits
That's why I didn't
@Stobzilla the game crashed again, I think this one is beyond me. It technically allows me to add custom nations to a save, but there must be something in there that just breaks. I could go in the save files but I wouldn't know what to look for, it doesn't say why it doesn't work unfortunately. I'll try one more thing tomorrow.

You guys keep cracking on, and sending me that wonderful trade money.

No need mate, I will bow out here and hopefully have a better shake of it next time.
Okay, thanks for participating! I will genuinely miss the dash of pink on the map.
Stobzilla is dead. Let him rest.
One down, 32 to go.
Man, I almost feel bad. Don't worry Stob, my mafia capos will take good care of your people. @nimic Are Shakesey and I allied, and is he still at war with the Spaniards?
Wouldn't mind some of that Land...

Yes, mio amico! Here's to many more successful conquests ahead
You're not, but you're not enemies either. You probably will be though. He's done with the Iberians for now, though I think (not in the game atm) that he's still allied with Crackers, which seems like it's going to backfire when the truce is up again.
@Stobzilla, like Dutch Jesus, could not be resurrected. @KirkDuyt
Dutch Jesus lives on in the nation of Kirkduyt.
I hope I don't end up in jail for 30 years.
@nimic there are mods for ck2 that allow you shatter the world into individual counties or duchies. Wonder if that would work in these sorts of scenarios? Would be carnage at the start mind you, but you could fit a lot more players.
You'll be okay, nobody watches Serie A
Possibly, I'll have to look into it later. I think it might not be as easy as EU4 though, where I just used the in-game tool to create all of you. I don't think that exactly exists in any other game, so it would be more involved. People make their own mods all the time in all the games though, so I might try something of the sort later.
Rip to Admiral General Mayor Tiber PHD. We hardly knew ye
There is definitely an EU4 mod for that shattered world thing. Alternately we could just do a random new world, and give everyone a nation in the new world.
CK2 or 3 could also be fun due to the character focus. You could design a little bit of a personality, moreso than in EU4.
Smaller starts means more varied country sizes and development. More interesting imo
CK could be fun too, yeah. It might be a bit harder to visualize, since there's layers of titles.
Lots of different options for EU4 stuff too. I'll try to finish this one before I start planning too hard
I’ve been tempted to start a new FM experiment. Could have a look at a CK one.
You can move a save all the way from Eu4, through CK2 to Hoi4. Would be cool to see this end up in ww2, but probably a lot of hassle
