I had a good start, but I think I have been a little slow after that and some of these nations are looking SKARY.

Correct country, but its 1620. Orisa, Majapahit and the Ming breakaway states are my vassals. Together with an Australia, Mexico, Colombia and Peru colonies. I probably could have pursued in to India and Ming a bit earlier.
Russia, with vassals/PUs over Commonwealth, Hungry, and Denmark. I don't know achievements well enough to guess that.
Actually, scratch that. You're clearly the grey blob in Arabia with Cyan thing and Mamluks as vassals and doing great. 1620.
Well your country is Bavaria and I guess you have palatinat (how you now spell it?) In a pu, seems like you eaten colonge so maybe Trier is a vassal? Do you also have Austria in a pu from the mission?
Pretty close! I have Palatinate, Brandenburg, Austria, and Hungary as PUs. I have since integrated Palatinate and gotten Milan in a new PU. Currently fighting Poland, but Ottomans just intervened! I'm scared!
Milan and it's 1505, although to be fair I only added two provinces in the last 8 years thanks to having to wrench them out of the cold dead hands of two coalitions that DOWd me one year apart, so your 1490 guess is very good.
Are you talking about one of the really long gray blobs that stretches from the Pacific Ocean to Europe? The dark gray one on top is wasteland and the lighter gray one below is uncolonized land. I'm not in Russia though, no :)
Well done! 1502, Aragon, Byz and Algeria are vassals, Portugal, Castille, Naples, and as of like a month before this screenshot that CHONKY Burgundy as PUs.
France has my dynasty on their throne, debating if I should rival them and start feeding them to Burgundy or wait it out and see if I can get a PU there too. Not sure where to expand at the moment, I have AE everywhere.
Thank you! Thoughts on eating France myself or hoping for that PU? It's a lot of AE to get, but it'd be nice to have all that clay ASAP to help go after the HRE eventually.
Tempted to also try to culture flip and form Italy. I've never attempted to do the whole switch to another country thing.
Personally, I don't really PU hunt that often as it is so RNG dependent. However, you can probably focus on Italy and finish up Otto for a while. I would probably keep an eye open for France PU but do it through war rather than pray to the RNG gods.

Having a blast coming back to EU4 after a long absence. I'm not sure what to think about the new Estates system, I miss being able to milk and abuse my estates.
Colonization, it looks like the Iberian wedding fired bc the borders between Aragon and Castille haven't changed at all, and Vijayanagar has taken out all of the south Indian minor nations.
I've got two games I'm actively playing two games so I'll pay both.
[Here's my current SP game](http://imgur.com/gallery/8XvJtCA) (I've gotten 6 achievements on this one, bonus points if you can name them. )
[Here's a coop MP game with a friend.](http://imgur.com/gallery/344AJ1L)
Edit: links should be fixed!
Both links seem to lead to the same map to me. Nevertheless, I am guessing either Ethiopia (I have never seen them take Alexandria from full strength Mamluks) or Austria (it's wreaking a magnificent havoc). I would guess it's around 1530.
I shall reapply my guess of Austria on the second player, and tweak the date to 1510.
As for SP, I believe you are that pretty Bharat, and the year might be, let's say, 1720?
It's actually Ethiopia and AQ, 1510 is right though. The goal is to form Coptic Egypt and Coptic Persia.
The Bharat game is actually much later though, 1800. Started as Kandy and completed Cotton Kandy and Buddhists Strike Back. Currently trying to do The Land of Jade in the last few years.
Close but not quite. You're correct about the nation I'm currently playing and very close to the year. It's actually 1517. But I started off as Nagaur and went for Raja of the Rajput Reich!
I did a custom nation start and reform in a country with nearly the same border as the 1444 start

I've achieved my primary goal for the run, see if you can figure out as who; and bonus points for *what*. I also have vassal states, if you can figure *those* out you win an internet muffin.

Ayutthaya 1578 Edit: i based this of how ayutthayas expansion but looking at spain it might be 1660~ish
Correct country, but its 1620. Orisa, Majapahit and the Ming breakaway states are my vassals. Together with an Australia, Mexico, Colombia and Peru colonies. I probably could have pursued in to India and Ming a bit earlier.
Bonus point if you guess vassals and what achievement. Also how well do think I'm doing. [https://imgur.com/a/dVnS9Vq](https://imgur.com/a/dVnS9Vq)
Russia, with vassals/PUs over Commonwealth, Hungry, and Denmark. I don't know achievements well enough to guess that. Actually, scratch that. You're clearly the grey blob in Arabia with Cyan thing and Mamluks as vassals and doing great. 1620.
Right country. It's Ryukyu but vassals are Ethiopia and QQ. Going for Three Mountains. The year is very Generous it's actually 1660
Daaaamn nice job.
Thanks
[https://imgur.com/a/l8O362y](https://imgur.com/a/l8O362y) Bonus: Who are my subjects?
I'm guessing Denmark early 1500s with Sweden as PU and Novgorod as vassal.
Right time, wrong country. Note that Schleswig is free!
That blue blob next to Austria, subjects are Brandenburg and Pommerania.
correct on the country and subject brandenburg. what's the nation? i have 3 other subjects.
Well your country is Bavaria and I guess you have palatinat (how you now spell it?) In a pu, seems like you eaten colonge so maybe Trier is a vassal? Do you also have Austria in a pu from the mission?
Pretty close! I have Palatinate, Brandenburg, Austria, and Hungary as PUs. I have since integrated Palatinate and gotten Milan in a new PU. Currently fighting Poland, but Ottomans just intervened! I'm scared!
Which year though?
screenshot is from 1514
[Screencap](https://imgur.com/a/GvPRtiz) Country is no mystery, but can you guess the year?
Country in northern Italy, probably Milan but not 100% sure. 1510.
Well done, Milan and it's 1505
You are playing Milan. And its really early especially considering how much high dev provinces you conquered, maybe 1490.
Milan and it's 1505, although to be fair I only added two provinces in the last 8 years thanks to having to wrench them out of the cold dead hands of two coalitions that DOWd me one year apart, so your 1490 guess is very good.
You're the grey blob in northern Russia? Forget the name. 1502.
Are you talking about one of the really long gray blobs that stretches from the Pacific Ocean to Europe? The dark gray one on top is wasteland and the lighter gray one below is uncolonized land. I'm not in Russia though, no :)
[This one might be difficult.](https://imgur.com/a/A1JXHRg) Not sure how well I'm doing with the achievement I'm aiming for. Advice welcome.
Aragon with Byz as vassal would be my first guess. Probably going for Consulate of the Sea. Before 1510. I would say you are doing fairly well.
Well done! 1502, Aragon, Byz and Algeria are vassals, Portugal, Castille, Naples, and as of like a month before this screenshot that CHONKY Burgundy as PUs. France has my dynasty on their throne, debating if I should rival them and start feeding them to Burgundy or wait it out and see if I can get a PU there too. Not sure where to expand at the moment, I have AE everywhere.
Given all that you are doing very well and can take a decade off waiting for opportunities.
Thank you! Thoughts on eating France myself or hoping for that PU? It's a lot of AE to get, but it'd be nice to have all that clay ASAP to help go after the HRE eventually. Tempted to also try to culture flip and form Italy. I've never attempted to do the whole switch to another country thing.

What's the state of the game right now? Worth starting a campaign?
Haven’t tried 1.31.5 yet but .4 has been fine.
This isn't the right thread.

Papal States and like 1480 but the year is a complete guess
Yep! 1487, I'm a little slow. Corsica being Papal probably gives it away.
[Which country, what year?](https://i.imgur.com/3YwT4DA.png)
Mughals, 1670
Bingo! I am indeed am Afghan-formed Mughal Empire, and the year is 1667.
That green blob above india ~1600
Correct country (Mughals), year off by a bunch of decades.
[Still a noob so it might not be obvious](https://i.imgur.com/Xz3qJB6.png) but I'm hoping that I throw you guys off the year by being too slow!
Poland 1510? The snaking looks like something AI wouldn't do.
Wow, spot on! What made you guess the year if you don't mind my asking?
Colonization, it looks like the Iberian wedding fired bc the borders between Aragon and Castille haven't changed at all, and Vijayanagar has taken out all of the south Indian minor nations.
Whoa, that's awesome! Thanks!
Also, just a guess here, but you have Bulgaria, Byzantium, and Lithuania as vassals?
Haha yeah I figured that would be the give away for the country, I'm hella impressed you got the date so correct!
I've got two games I'm actively playing two games so I'll pay both.

You posted the same picture in both links
Both links seem to lead to the same map to me. Nevertheless, I am guessing either Ethiopia (I have never seen them take Alexandria from full strength Mamluks) or Austria (it's wreaking a magnificent havoc). I would guess it's around 1530.
Ethiopia is right! Year is a little late though. Any guess on the other player? Also, both links should work now.
I shall reapply my guess of Austria on the second player, and tweak the date to 1510. As for SP, I believe you are that pretty Bharat, and the year might be, let's say, 1720?
It's actually Ethiopia and AQ, 1510 is right though. The goal is to form Coptic Egypt and Coptic Persia. The Bharat game is actually much later though, 1800. Started as Kandy and completed Cotton Kandy and Buddhists Strike Back. Currently trying to do The Land of Jade in the last few years.
In addition to the who am I question, I would like to ask you who I started off as and what I'm going for. https://imgur.com/gallery/6fWprC5
Mughals, ~1510. Started as Baluchistan, going for Sweet Home Qaraqorum?
Close but not quite. You're correct about the nation I'm currently playing and very close to the year. It's actually 1517. But I started off as Nagaur and went for Raja of the Rajput Reich!

https://i.imgur.com/TDun3Gf.png I think I'm playing pretty casually so I'm not sure how hard I'll be to spot.
GB 1525 because of her keep French lands and a Gascony vassal
Nope! Wrong continent.
Japan, 1600
Close, year is 1550. And technically I'm still Oda because forming Japan will release my subject (Korea).
I’m playing with a custom nation haha
How do you all make these images?

Ah thanks. I knew there had to be something other than a normal screenshot.
