Castille, 1456

We succesfully annexed Navarra and Munster and more provinces of Morocco, and we started a war with Algiers (their ally Tripoli already quit the war; we accepted their white peace offer. Their ally The Ottoman Empire remains at war, but is not the main target of Castille.

Depends how often you hover a NAM piece over other transporation piece :P. Might post a few screenshots from my recovered city.

That farm beside those low-wealth apartments? That's the last farm in the whole city. I use SimPeg Agriculture Mod (SPAM) for my farms.

I said 'trusted' because the gameplay is satisfying whilst not taxing on my system resources. FYI, I never had a single CTD when I play this game (except when hovering NAM pieces over transit tiles)

Last time I thought about playing SC4 it took me about 2 days to install all the mods I wanted and then I somehow lost interest after like 2-3 hours of playing.

As with Purno, I'm playing a Castille game. It's currently 1707 and Castille, having long ago adsorbed Aragon and Portugal, became Spain fairly recently. The Spanish Empire is the largest in the world due to the Spanish being the first to discover the Americas in the 1460s and get colonising. The Hansa came second, but lost all of their North American territory to Sweden.

The Spanish, once gaining full control of Iberia, left the rest of Europe much to its own devices. A few wars were fought against France, who lost horribly and were later jumped on by numerous smaller nations, but otherwise the Spanish kept themselves to themselves. Austria and Britain are currently the main powers in Europe, steadily conquering Central and Northern Europe respectively. Spain is currently allied with Austria.

Wow Lankku, that is highly successful. Are you using any game modifications or cheats? I've modified my game to make it easier to expand quickly (I've made Overextension a smaller penalty and also made my armies fight better during Overextension issues, for example).

Well, it's EU3. There isn't much "gameplay" that's worth showing, imo ;)

That's the Divine Wind expansion, released December 2010. The less modern interface you've seen in Purno's previous screens date back to 2006-2007.

No mods, no cheats. Just raw Chronicles.

I've been itching to annex them for a while, but my infamy is a bit on the high side due to my other colonial exploits. I'll start repeatedly attacking them for tribute before I finally adsorb them into my empire.

Aye, I realize that, but I'm close to out of options. New enemies are either too powerful or not worth it. I'm allied with France, Portugal and Burgundy at the moment, and in good relations with Aragon. I can't seem to colonize south-America yet (my ships get below 0% when making the sail accross the waters, and my army refuses to enter Terra Incognita lands).

I feel I'm kinda stuck ATM. I've tried declaring some wars but all those enemies are too powerful and I get overrun.

Have you already discovered the sea routes to the Americas? Ships take damage from travelling accross open ocean, but they take more from sailing into undiscovered zones (I think.). Also, if someone has colonised the Azores, get military access from them so you can use their ports to repair your ships. If the Azores are not yet colonised, take them as soon as possible. They're a stepping stone to the Americas because when they become a core province, you get a nice westward boost to your colonial range.

The problem is my ships take a lot of damage from sailing in discovered open ocean zones, after roughly 10 zones the ships are at 0% (and 10 zones is roughly the route from Castille to America and back).

If you didn't already do so, you could hire explorers (or admirals) to reduce the damage your ships take and (?) increase their sailing speed. If you want to colonize as fast as possible, you don't really need them to make the route back, a one-way trip is good enough ;)
Alternatively, you could hire a conquistadors (necessary to move armies into TI - you'll need QftNW national idea, a colonist and some 50 ducats...) and colonize/conquer the eastern African coast, Songhai usually has tons of ducats (and a few gold provinces), and it'll sooner or later reduce your travel distance to South America. Also, it puts you into a better position once Asia becomes a feasible aim for colonization (I usually colonize something around the cape ^^)

Choose the National Idea "Quest for the New World", and only use the biggest of ships for the trip across. Do it with an Explorer (recruited like a General in the Nations screen but costs 1 colonist). Being Spain, I'd recommend you sail down the African coast and then, when it turns east, you sail southwest-west to reach northeastern Brazil. This is the shortest passage. Staying near land makes the journey less of a mess for the ships involved as they do not suffer attrition as much.

If we keep this up, we'll need a EU3-specific thread soon :mrgreen:

EDIT:

I said what this guy said, basically:
