Europa Universalis and other (grand) strategy games general.

Also, how did Byzantium hold on for so long? And not only that, it's a fucking Catholic Byzantium.

There's also this. I never really finished it because the game quickly became boring after I formed Russia.

And that's the thing with this game I've noticed. Some of the formables (e.g. Roman Empire, Mongol Empire, etc) are literally just an "I win" button, like there's literally nothing more after that.

i once tried to make a grand strategy game in gamemaker. Emphasis on tried.

Catholic Byzantium

It's probably because they converted to catholic. I'm not really sure since I've never gone down that path but I think that if they convert to catholicism through the unification of orthodox and Catholic church events they get guaranteed.

Isn't that the event that turns Byzantium into Latin Empire? Honestly I'm just amazed that an AI Byzantium managed to survive after 1460.

i did not in fact become unstoppable but i did manage to expand greatly at the cost of my former allies, converted all of my provinces to shiism, completed a bunch of missions and formed deccan (which barely benefited me but at least i got the empire rank and some more free prestige).

i am currently in a deadlock with the remaining three pajeet states and it's pretty much gonna be the end of this campaign unless i manage to kill them one by one starting from jaunpur
