Another Languish EU3 game? Weeknights EST?

[Viking]

One more question about MP.  How is game speed handled?  What happens if someone has to pee or something?

usually at 3, but from time to time (usually during my repeated wars in the empire) it is slowed down by request for a short time, as long as nobody abuses that then that won't be an issue.

Oh and Viking I haven't  gone after Bar as no CB on them as of yet.

In 1530 The Hapsburgs ruled pretty much what I have now (with a few exceptions both ways, I don't have bohemia, but do have liguria)

Well, I don't mind. Bar has reliably both converted back to protestantism and neglected to get allies so it is a convenient place for me to collect Imperial Mojo Points.

Holy shit.  That HRE mechanic is just too powerful for either Austria or Bohemia (whichever one manages to lock up the elections).  Where is the Spanish Sweden anyway?

It is rather powerful, yes, but nothing a coalition couldn't bring down.  A determined group of, say, 60,000 Turks, 40,000 French, 20,000 English, 20,000 Swedes and 30,000 Spanish could force the Empire to the peace table and remove a lot of their vassals (not to mention releasing Italy back to its city-state format).

Naturally, the Russians would sit on the sidelines during this hypothetical war.  Then again, Viking might be encouraged to release some of those vassals of his just by the mere threat of war.

Oops, I forgot it's not a 1399 start.  I thought the blob conquered Netherlands during the session.

And do have a plethora of vassals in Germany that they didn't have.  And don't have a rather large Schmalkaldic League forming up against you to prevent your rapacious ways.

Yeah, I think that's actually the most overpowered bit of the 1492 setup for Austria.  If the war-aim of a potential coalition against Austria were merely to free the Netherlands/Flanders from the Emperor's grip then that would go a long way towards curbing Austria's power.

Why only 40k French ?

I can double that amount easily if need be.

there, fixed your post for you

I didn't want to make it seem like I was doing all the heavy lifting.  Then again, such a hypothetical coalition would probably see France gaining the most (what with taking all the Walloon provinces and freeing some of the Italian minors), so their contributing as much as possible would be nice.

That and I suspect Sweden and Britain's efforts would be...small until their current problems are settled.

I have fought these schmalkaldic league wannabes about 5 times. I've got the Infamy to prove it.

And the prestige and the newly-minted vassals.

Anything I have done, you can do just as well. I'm Emperor, I get loads of prestige anyway.
