Paradox Games II

[Olivaero]

Irish Counts. Otherwise I like the King of Denmark in later dates.

Condemned Procedure: Play Prussia->NGF->Germany, push for fascism, wipe France and Russia off the map?

But in all seriousness, France and Prussia are good starters. The former as an all-rounder, the latter for Military/War as well as for the sphering game.

Playing as USA right now and planning to turn fascist late game, ok Texas has been eaten by Mexico, what to do?

I'd suggest Getting it back under the rightful patrimony of the Red White and Blue? Alternatively free it and wait for it to petition for annexation if you are aiming for less Infamy (for whatever reason)

I'm now at war with the UK and Mexico over Colorado. Play USA the said, it'll be easy they said.

Yes. I just beat up UK's 32 stack but Mexico is going to be a problem to clean up later

Well, early game you haven't really come into your own yet, after the Civil war then you start kicking ass and taking names. Does the UK have an alliance with Mexico? Don't be afraid to add war goals to the war to take Texas and however much else you can manage from either UK or mexico as long as you stay below the infamy limit. As for war tactics themselves ho0ld onto the areas your war goals are about it will increase the war score in your favor over time.

Unorthodox procedure: Play France, push for fascism, wipe Germany off the map.

Condemned Procedure: Play Prussia->NGF->Germany, push for fascism, wipe France and Russia off the map?

Nah, that's pretty much expected from Germany. I'll give you condemned: Create Israeli cores, force release of Israel as an independent state, then conquer Israel.

Make Israel fascist. Because that'll be funny.

(Assuming we're running PDM) Fire off Balfour Declaration Manually, release/play-as Israel, conquer everything between Morocco and India, Between the Caucasus and Aden - create a Supreme Minority State. Bonus Points for having all the territories that weren't controlled by Israel IRL(That means, Israel as is, together with the Palestinian Territories, in addition to [East] Suez and Sinai) as colonial territories. Then make a screenshot and publish it on that page of ISIS's idea.
Extra Bonus Points if a massive "ISRAEL" spans your whole territory.
...

Actually, I think I might do a less extreme attempt of that in my next run at Vicky.

Make Isreal fascist. Because that'll be funny.

I just took a look at their Fascist Flag for Israel. Quite interesting, though it seems to be more Theocratic than directly fascist. Speaking of those flags, I must say, some of the fascist flags P'dox do look somewhat nice.
For example the Fascist flag of Indore. Jan Mayen as well

As a current resident, I would have to say no. NORAD can be built elsewhere.


Everyone's talking about Victoria 2 and I just uninstalled it. Not fair guys.

Let's talk about CKII instead.

And by "talk", I mean "murder small children for fun and profit".

[Bojikami]

So in CK2 as Khan of the Pechenegs I converted to catholicism.

In my Carpathia game, (also the first CK2 game I've ever played, aside from a few aborted attempts as an Irish minor and the Duke of Bohemia) Navarra has conquered northern Spain and Pomerania has lost all of their mainland European territory but has taken control of part of Sweden. I can post screenshots later.

[Machtergreifung]

From skimming through Wikipedia, they landed in Scotland sometime after the Norman Invasion.

Once Rurikid Europe ends, I'll see what I can find.

Robert de Brus came to England following King Henry I's victory at the Battle of Tinchebray in 1106; he later migrated north and was made Lord of Annandale, in Dumfries and Galloway, by King David of Scotland in 1124.

Paradox should make him appear in the game as a baron; I'd be interested in playing as the Duke of Galloway and granting a county to Robert (after which I'll switch to him).

The Stewart dynasty are Scottish barons, and are the original House of Stuart...

My Scotland game was briefly host to an independent York, reigning from Norfolk to Lothian, all because I assassinated the wrong Duke.

Of course, twenty years later, it's English again and in the hands of the Duke of Mercia.

There really is no better feeling than destroying a title who's claimants have annoyed you for literally centuries. You see Bulgarian nobles this is why you can't have nice things.

How about being appointed king, peacefully, over a dumbass who has plagued your family for three generations by a faction lead by a Duke whose entire family you've slaughtered publicly? All while not taking any action yourself besides leading the ex-king's armies on his behalf?

So we've had 'going Targaryen'(inbreeding a ridiculous amount), and now we have 'going Lannister'(destroying entire dynasties and titles and such).

Would 'going Stark' be really sucking at intrigue? Can I say that I'm going to 'go Bolton' in a Byzantine game and castrate all my enemies? Would 'going Greyjoy' be getting castrated by someone who's going Bolton?

'Going Greyjoy' would just be every single Viking, because raiding.

No, "going Greyjoy" is to be so profoundly terrible at everything you do that Lancel could probably beat you in a fight.

Huh, never actually sympathized with Tywin up until now.

You could try William the Conqueror. I started as him, and 250 years later I restored the Roman Empire. I have no idea how easy he was, though. I don't think I had any open revolts, and I didn't get crushed, so it's probably not that bad, as long as you're willing to reload saves often enough.

CK2 inspires you to see things from alternate perspectives.

I think Tywin's real mistake was not killing enough people.

I always imagined that going out like this.

"Who are you, that I must so low" said the proud lord from his seat of castamere. 'Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know. And a coat of gold, a gold of red - a lion still has claws and mine alone are sharp my lord, long and sharp as yours."
