Paradox Games II

[United Marxist Nations]

Everything was going well for the Tennessee Valley Authority, wife had a child, realm grew, etc. but for some reason, after conquering Carthage, my army size decreased from 2300 to 800, so everytime I get to this one point, Kentuckiana declares war on me and curbstomps me with his 2100 deathstack. May have to restart and eventually become the Tennessee Valley Authority instead of starting. Kind of mad, because I had actually found a good looking wife, which is really hard in CKII. However, I did make a very good character, so I will do that in the future.

Character was based on myself, btw.

Ken...Kentuckiana? What sort of a heretical name is that?!

It spans Kentucky and Indiana.

[Dakran]

I played Victoria 2.

And absolutely failed.

I get invaded my Mexico and then my $ goes away. And for some reason I have low opinions with every other country and got invaded my literally everyone.

Who you playing as? If you're in Central America, Mexico usually gets bitchy that it cant get American clay and harasses it's neighbours.

That truly is heresy. Cleanse it. Cleanse it with fire. Indiana is 2good4kentucky.

I have to start playing that NA mod again for ck2.

This could have gone horribly, but thankfully it did not.

It was actually very uneventful, but now Ioannna the Temptress is dead is dead, having passed beyond at age 45, and now her grand daughter Gabriella rules in her place.

Fourth female character in a row, huh. Biggest Female ruler streak ive had so far.

I always feel more attached to female rulers, I don't know. There is something in them that makes me care mote. It brings out the father in me. Male rulers are more like pawns, while I feel that female rulers deal with more shit. They feel like characters.

[Olivaero]

playing Vic 2 as the UK, sorta RPing a bit, the Tory party has successfully rolled back voting reforms and right now it's landed voting only with political parties outlawed, they've also been consistently winning elections, anyway, after a royal marriage with the Empire of Mexico I decided this was grounds for alliance, after which Mexico decided it was a good time to beat up texas, which they did with me onj their side so America thought twice about getting involved, apparently them being in alliance with me however didn't prevent America from starting the Mexican American war to take their "Cores" from Mexico, luckily I'd been manufacturing a take state cassus belli on them for just this occasion so not only did they lose the Mexican-American war they are now less the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. If I maintain the Reactionary government I may keep on taking territory, god knows my population is now jingoistic enough that a bit of Irredentism in the old 13 colonies should be easily lapped up by them.

I've never played as a female, save that horrible abortive attempt at a tutorial.

[Herargon]

Biggest I had was a streak of 3 Empresses.

I'm empressed.

Biggest I had was an empire of 2 empires; Britannia and Spain. Oh, and the kingdom of France partially was under my control.

Also, I've once conquered all of the Saoshyant Persian Empire territory and created the Persian Empire. Proceeded to conquer the Abbasids after that and even got into Pakistan and Turkmenistan up to Kazakhstan.

sips a bit of fine tea

It was a great empire, and I did have fun with playing that by peskering the Byzantines, however, I also helped the Byzzies gain new territories indirectly.

Because, you know, you need a strong enemy, such as a strong Byzantium, to have a reasonable excuse to say that you hate them.

Take back them rebels i say old boy! Tech them whats what eh?

Ive basically by this stage ended my France Campaign in EU4, im just tired of it now though i may pick it up again at some point in the future along with my Mongol campaign.

But it ended in Glory, Swag and victory, i completed my mission to ensure a french dominated Continent, my alliance sits as the most powerful force in the world with the largest and most advanced combined armies and navies.

Austria, Prussia and Great Britain lay shattered, shadows of their formal selves never to emerge as threats again, Spain, the Ottomans, Germany and other lesser rivals lay broken and under my authority. And though Russia survives intact, they have left me alone and in return i shall leave them alone and we can both continue on happy as can be though heavily armed with thoughts of disdain for the other though not enough to act upon.

Now im thinking of starting in an earlier start date, im thinking the era of Charlamagne or just before, perhaps as a muslim power and take Europe by storm, or perhaps unit the British Isles under Celtic rule and expand to the far west.

It can be tough, but i like using the Crusader Queens mod, it allows more variety and for some shenanigans as the game progresses, such as Female Popes and Patriarchs etc.

Which reminds me, in Dutch, we have a saying which roughly translates into this: He smokes like a heretic. It's something you say about people smoking a great many cigarretes a day. Let's see who gets it...
And Herargon, no spoiling!

I presume it's related to burning heretics at the stake, yes?

Auto-da-fe?

The King of New England died, and his child grandson inherited the throne because my vassals apparently want to keep me weak. Now I have an adventurer preparing to attack me, and I can't kill him.

If you can't kill him, show him the secret horror of the universe's apathy and break his mortal mind.
