yeh, I want to fully focus on them after the Danes and Norwegians are dealt with

What is the ottomans view of them?

ottomans can be a GREAT asset

I've already gone for the Army Quality as a national focus, so my army is already on deadly amounts of strength

what you could do is try to free nations inside of the russians slowly, and then vore them.

@Capitán Alatriste why haven't you take norway or denmark yet

Problem with that is the ungodly amount of soldiers the russians have access to

@galesteppes overextension, other fronts and manpower problems

take the norwegian coast and mass produce ships. then fuck the danish with attrition

But they should be fully eaten by the next war

nice

I like getting colonies too for extra income.

But I play it on the nice thing were they wont attack your settlements

if you're a gamer, taking mexico is great. voring the nations there is easy way of getting colonies.

might be too far away for you tho

hahaha, no I always go full native suppression

Just put 1k troops on the colony and it should be enough to put down the natives

On my last swedish run I took Scandinavia, every part of russia, most of central asia, up to northern india. I conquered the baltics, killed of the polacks. Destroyed the HRE. Took England. And colonized Canada, Mexico, West Africa, And south africa.

oh and central africa

Holy fuck man

voring the minor german nations took to long so I got bored and stopped

<:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>

also big blue blob and kebab were my allies

Yeah it's a fucking pain in the ass, plus the overextension in the HRE is brutal

hahaha

agreed

On my castille run I didnt do shit in Europe except voring the portugeese

Then I conquered every part of african and the americas

then I starting fucking the italians, french, and english.

I got the Dutch through an event

why not just vassalize the hre states, get them to vote for you and just pass enough reforms to insta annex them?

smart

I usually dont bother with the HRE

too lazy

I did a kinda world conquer with madagascar too lol

biggest shitpost ever

and I almost did a full world conquer with fucking ARDALAN

but that was a long time ago

It's not easy becoming the leader of the HRE if you're not Austria or any other elector. And it's especially harder for non German states to do so. And by the time you become the Emperor, the Hre might be so fucked, that passing reforms is pretty much impossible

playing the american nations is hard as fuck tbh
