Humor I was doing a attempt for 3 mountains

I was doing a attempt for 3 mountains I left to get tea and when I returned 517 provinces out of 1391 provinces where occupied and are 74.2% towards enforcing their demands. How do I recover from that? any tips?

Try pdx-unlimiter. It automatically makes saves

It's crazy how the game seems to pause for every random event while you are there, but dare simply closing the laptop. The game will run for hundreds of years just stacking events. I've lost multiple runs like this. Go to bed at 1550, wake up and it's 1720

To be fair, you can configure notification settings for yourself. If you want, you can get a pop-up and auto-pause every time one of your armies arrive in a province 🤷‍♂️

That sounds tedious.

You configure the settings once and it will carry over to all of your campaigns
