Btw, you're showing off your CD-key in the first screenshot. I'd edit that, if it's your actual key.

Yor pestige is very low, didn't you also have a peasants war in your country?
Some of the rebels are nationalist so there is chance that you had high overextension and did not finish making cores on new provinces.

Anyway had simillar problem in my ironman with England. Some french nationalists show up in stack of over 50k. I had to leave my allies in war and handle with domestic problems.

Something similar happened to me as well. Playing Prussia sure is interesting to say the least. It sounds easy trying to recreate history. You start with best tech group, all the right cores, good monarchs, but it really is harder than playing some big tech penalty countries. You have powerhouses of Sweden, Austria, Poland and Russia close to you. Reformation waiting to spice things up and my personal doom of being in HRE.

So my 'Prussia' folded before I formed it, at the same time in my other save I fully westernised Korea and I'm just in final preparations to invade France.

I play Hanza atm, got nice fleet, took 3 close territories...i was going to get Holstein, but Denmark took them and what is worse they took Norwey. And when I thought that I am pretty much faked, they fabricated claims on all my provinces... I think that I am pretty much over....

Started as Friesland (or Friedland? forgot)...basically a small republic in the netherlands. After about ~7 bad starts, I managed to unify the netherlands and now I'm pretty much dominating europe. Denmark, Spain and the Ottomans are still strong though, and they have a coalition against me... will see how it ends.

If you play casually (2-4 hours a day), and carefully manage things, then I would say just a bit less than a week.

Holy shit the game beat you up! How did it come to that point? You have nothing of anything! Smile Was that a peasant war or something like that? + Overextension and low stability? Smile

Ive clocked over 110 hours these last 14 days and ive yet to finish a game! I often play a nation some 100 years and then quit when I get a new idea with a new nation.

My Albanian AAR is finished btw Smile

My ruler succession is abysmal. Had two consecutive retards with 0 ADM 0 DIPLO and 2 MIL...

So my backward Germany is 2 - even 3 technologies behind its numerous enemies.

On the other hand, I have managed to have the strongest economy, that makes possible a huge army. (Now i will start to support some rebelions, i have to see if it has a point).

And decided to ally with mighty Russia to take care of Poland and Lithuania, my very next move, but Poland is allied to Austria (now a minor power) and Neatherlands, a strong power not in itself, but with the alliances it has...

Soon I will see: tech or numbers? Razz

There should be a way of assasinate your own rulers. Even at the cost of a stability drop. Having two consecutive dicks makes my moral lack Mad

There is... well not exactly, but you can put your ruler as a general, and let him command some doomed 1k infantry regiment Razz, or if you have any ships, send him to the bottom of the ocean... let him discover America few times.

totally forgott about that!! Laughing will do.

The other ting i can't figure out, is how to improve the countries opinion in favor of a third country... I would like to ally with France, as they have an opinion of Germany by +110, but my Germany has a opinnion of them by -20 with no positive modifiers...

Its better for the worthless ruler to be involved in longer fights - that increases his chances for dying. And as far as I know you cant abuse the ship thingy.

HAHAHAHA! Good idea. I have retards in Hanza all the time :S

Anyways...
Tech is very important, you can't win 12k army with 10 when full morale and tech is much lower. One chance - amazing general. Thou i have retards there also.

Any ideas about my missing merchant?
I tried uncle google and I didnt find anything usefull. I read that merchant can be outplayed in trade node, but I don't have any message about it.

Currently playing The Serbian Kingdom. After the Kingdom of Bosnia refused my diplomatic offers and made me their rival and a few bad moves from their part, i've decided to wipe them out. Bosnia was incorporated in the Serbian Kingdom and shortly after I've made a quick grab on their allies, Wallachia. Now, they are all of the same culture.

Next on my to do list: Croatia ( which was overwhelmed by Venice and Hungary, while i was busy fighting Bosnia and Wallachia ). Purpose: creating a Balkanic Empire, with the addition of Moldavia ( gonna frag them when they will try to revolt against their polish masters ) and, if possible Transylvania ( Moros, Bihar, Maramoros, Hunyiad, Temes ). Also, Albania and Ragusa.

After consolidating those, I'll have to find a way to eliminate the turks from the Balkans and bring under my rule Bulgaria and Greece. Hope that things will go my way and i'll be prepared against the russian and austrian expansion.

About the merchant, its often enough you get a event about your merchant being kicked out of an node for various reasons (then he returns home and you can send him there again, so its just tiresome). But if he died then its a bug or else you just found the most nasty event in the game Smile
About generals, if you get one with really high shock value, then you can take on the low odds. Shock is the one that kills in hordes (where you suddenly see kills in the 1000 per tick).

I recommend jumping over the pond and taking one of the Italian city states with an university (thats -5 tech cost). And waging war in different directions will ease up the relationspenalties, you dont want Hungary, Poland and Lithuania in a coalition.

And build up your navy for when facing the Ottomans, if you can have a navy stand in Bosporus strait, then its gets alot easier (just be carefull sometimes they do get passage to go all the way around the black sea).

I really dont think so, losing a merchant permanently sounds crazy.
But if he did change from an Merchant Republic to Monarchy he would lose the merchant like he describes.
