EU2 is better than EU3, but EU3 isn't bad at all. You'll get the hang of EU2 quickly if you've played EU3.

Depends on the host. I would just save and rehost so you can get back in :D

SP doesn't require it.

I know, I used to play EU2 before I moved out of my house. Same with Civ4 (which I prefer)

Our current game.

AAR Spain
1492-1516
24 years

In 1492, Spain sat almost unified completely. However, Spain still had yet to vassalize and annex Portugal and Navarra. However, It had succeeded in vassalizing Naples and Netherlands and would soon annex them. Spain had started the year 1492 attempting to form alliances and offering royal marriages with the countries mentioned earlier and had succeeded until it had come to Portugal. Why was Portugal denying an alliance with Spain? Well it turned out the vile French had caught on to the Spanish and wanted to interrupt their plot, and so sparked the feud between France and Spain.

The French themselves had grown much in the past century, becoming a sizeable threat to the Spanish border. However all was not lost, as the English in the north were willing to make a deal. While France was out making enemies with its neighbors, Spain was making allies with which defeat was an impossibility.

However, Spain had to briefly stop its preparing for the inevitable conflict that between France and Spain and turned its attention to Venice and Italy. The Italians had chosen to strike at southern Italy (Naples) and Naples had no choice but to call upon its alliance. The Spanish Armada had departed with 50.000 troops of cavalry and footmen.

Spain had arrived with Naples losing Apullia and out of the war. The Spanish had to work fast at cracking the fortress of Apullia and reclaiming its rightfully claimed land and defeating the other Italian provinces that had joined the war. However, Spain would have to work fast, as the French had decided to war Venice as well, and claimed Apullia as their target. Spain struck at Apullia first and siege the fortress, which would last the whole w*beep*eing that the Seige would take a long while, Spain decided to send the Grand Captain to Tuscany, Modena, and Genoa to help its Netherlands vassals.

The Spanish Armada sailed to Modena first with the Grand Captain on board, 15.000 Cavalry, and 35.000 Footmen. The battle lasted only a mere ten days and the Grand Captain laid siege the fortress of Modena. Within four months, The Grand Captain had captured Modena and annexed them. This established a port city and foothold in which Spain could continue its war with Tuscany, Venice, and Genoa.

After Modena was taken out, Spain moved on to Tuscany. Owning two provinces, Spain knew the only choice it had was to knock Tuscany out the war and gain Seina. The Grand Captian was sent again and had become victorious over the capital of Tuscany and they had quickly retreated from the war and Seina was given in return to Spain. Now all that was left was Genoa and Venice.

Spain had no plan for taking over Genoa. However, Netherlands had occupied the capital of Genoa and captured it. Spain signed a peace with Genoa, giving Netherlands a good lump sum of gold. All the was left now was Venice and Apullia.

Apullia was almost in Spanish hands again, and it took the Grand Captain to take that extra push. After Apullia was captured, The Grand Captain was sent to Cofu, a small island but one of the few provinces which had a manufactory, and laid siege to it. Meanwhile, 10.000 cavalry and 40.000 footmen in Modena had been sent into Venice to help out their Netherlands brothers. Tragicly, Venice was found to difficult to siege and many lives were lost in the battle for it. The Spanish army sent had returned back to Modena and the report was sent to Spain.

The Grand Captain had captured Cofu and now Spain wanted out of the war, as it got what it wanted. The Peace was signed soon, giving Netherlands Mantua and Appulia to Spain.

During the war, Spain had attempted to explore the Atlantic. However, its attention was so centered on Italy, that it had forgotten to fund the expeditions and many ships were needlessly lost and only a minor area was explored.

Spain had decided to take the next few years calmly and try to establish relations with Navarra, Portugal, Naples, and Netherlands so that they could annex them. They had succeeded in annexing Naples a few years after the Italian-Spanish War and soon after that Netherlands accepted Annexations as well. Navarra and Portugal were the only ones left, and Spain had given up and decided to explore and turn its attention to South America and the Caribbean's.

While exploring, France had decided to try and threaten England and Spain, saying that Spain and England had stolen what was theirs, which was Scotland and parts of Italy, and tried to use the Big Stick doctrine to scare them. They had left 100.000 men near the border of Cailas and Spanish owned Netherlands. Seeing this, England had done the same and left 100.000 men in Kent. Spain had also decided to leave three 30.000 men armies in the border of Netherlands and France and had three 50.000 men armies in Spain, with great generals as well.

Then like a soft breeze in the night, peace came to the kingdoms. They agreed to pull back military and agree to a marriage between the royalty. Maybe war can be avoided, only time will tell.

England AAR #2
1516-1543
27 years

Seeing peace holding, England saw far across the seas, towards her small holdings of colonies. Sending an explorer much land along the coast was uncovered and many bountyful areas were found to settle. Slowly the colonies began to spread, first one then another, soon England controlled a sizeable area in the new world.

Unfortuanitly she was not the only one, the spaniards had takin a lower inlet with many island, and were quickly taking it over. There had even been rumours of organized resistance by the natives towards the spanish, but the english had yet to see a single bit of true resistance. Unfortuanitly france had also discovered the new world, building a colony near New England, it would be watched untill it either was removed, or "joined of its own accord".

Seeing herself being surpassed by the empires of her allies and enemies, England enforced higher taxes on her peasentry. Though they did not understand the great needs of the empire, there was talk of uprising beginning to go through the land. It was during this time, in the year of 1543 the kingdom of england took a new crown, Henry VIII had grabbed control of the religion within England; the english had become protestant.  This sent shockwaves through the people, what would happen now?

The royal marriages that had kept the peace were severed, the alliance that had so long protected the english people was gone. Panic spread through the cities as invasion was thought likely, but through careful diplomacy the king cleverly sent the French off to fight a war against Denmark, while maintaining a strong alliance with Spain.

The great kingdom of England soon noticed itself slipping, its naval power was not what it used to be as many others starting shifting power to the ocean. Increasing its spending to match its might, England quickly fashioned a strong navy, one that would make any nation think twice if they should ever wish to assault the great kingdom. Even with this pride in their navy, it was not enough to overwhelm the instability welling within England, soon revolts broke out as the thin facade of stability was washed aside as revolts swept through the kingdom. In the end England remained in power, the rebellious spirit shattered, crushed for the sake of safety, and society.

But how far had they fallen behind during there inner strife?
How would the world react to a weakened England?

Only time will tell the lasting effects of the revolts.

Alright! After this game....
