Hey guys, it’s been like 2 months since I posted this save before but I got super busy lol. A couple of people asked questions so I wanted to answer them with an update now that I’m playing again rather than a reply
I’ve finally finished off the Ottomans and made them a protectorate, and now moved on to recolaiminf French/Spanish America. I’m trying to keep as much of a “rebuilding Rome” roleplay as I can while still having something to do on this save game. I think that my long-time ally Britain may have to be next.
- Why and how does Central/Eastern Europe look like that?
Austria beat the Ottomans but couldn’t take Anatolia. Poland-Lituania started beating the Austrians and overextended themselves, then got backstabbed by Prussia. The borders of Prussia and Poland-Lithuania have gone back and forth across the entirety of Central Europe about 5 times now. Every time one looks almost finished, they come back and sweep across the other’s territory, and repeat.
- How long does that take?
It’s 1755 now, and they’ve been at war since around 1725. Each pass across Europe takes 5 turns, more or less. I have rakes everywhere and just watch.
- Did you try to form Italy?
Originally, yes, but now I’m going full send for Rome
- What if Austria and Prussia went to war?
Prussia would absolutely steamroll Austria. No question. Austria cannot do anything for themselves.
