Europa Quarantina IV: No SV, You Are The Early Modern State - A Quest-Based Europa Universalis IV Playthrough

Reader mode
[X] Korea: Korea is the most sadly underappreciated East Asian state in the triat that also includes Japan and China, which sucks because Korea is cool as hell, so this game is gonna be about playing Kingdom if instead of fighting zombies they fought an eternal hell war against the Manchus and instead of fighting because they are evil arisen dead they are fighting because they're really angry we burnt all their homes down and forced them to speak Korean. I don't like besmirching Korea's perfect peninsular shape, so this game will include a lot of vassals to fight under our glorious banner and will of course involve asking ourselves whether we want to remain loyal to the Ming dynasty or go our own way.

[X] Eastern Roman Empire: Return the Empire of Constantine to its rightful place as the hegemon of the world! Destroy the Ottoman-Muslim pretenders to the east, destroy the Latin-Catholic pretenders to the west, and restore Mare Nostrum. Constantinople will become the City of the World's Desire once again.
 
[X] Mazandran
[X] Sweden
[X] Norway

either we go for maximum shitposting or we make manus suffer

EDIT:

Actually no, I have the worst best idea

[X] Iceland: Start as Norway, then lose your mainland provinces and form Iceland. Then spend the rest of the game fucking around with everyone else while remaining safe and isolated in the North Atlantic. It should go without saying, but no forming Scandinavia. :V

Okay, more seriously:

[x]Mazandaran
[x]Korea. I guess. Though aiming for the same borders as IRL seems a bit lame :p

I like the Korean borders a lot, they're sexy and I admire the shape of this perfect country.

No, more seriously, I'd want to advance a bit into the mountains and maybe some of the steppe but there are legitimate advantages to keeping your (northern) border where it is; namely that you have the easy defence of holding the mountains, so the borders work well. However, making advances into Japan is totally okay and also it is really funny to get the borders of the early 19th century Japanese Empire but as like, Korea.

Advances into the north can still be made, but they'll be in the form of vassals, because ultimately that just works and looks better.
 
I bet you are one of those people who want to straighten the borders in the HRE for A E S T H E T I C S as well :mad:

I mean, people have done stuff from dumber starts, and this would be Norway -> lose provinces and Embrace Icelandic Identity, not a release vassal start. Institutions aren't a major problem anyway, since you start in Europe. Can't do anything about Renaissance regardless of how you play since it's stupid. You can get the colonialism spawn by discovering North America and the Printing Press can be obtained by turning Protestant. The other institutions can be spread easily regardless of location.
 
Okay, so for some reason a 2-province minor has a massive lead, so I think I'll wait until tomorrow and then confirm the vote and do the first 20 years.
 
[X] Oirat: I am reliably informed that they are *checks notes @ManusDomini slid me on a monogrammed napkin* the "very big very steppe successor of the Mongol Empire" and if there's one thing anyone knows about me it's that I am always down for some powerful steppe energies so here we are.
 
Since I rather enjoy indulging my contrarianism, I shall vote for:
[X] Theodoro.

Because I want to see Manus spread all over the world Gothic Trading Companies and Gothic Colonies like the Gothic East India company or the Gothic East Indies.
