Oh and Western Pacific Territories, do you see? Do you see? DO YOU SEE?

This is a glimpse as to what happened to Austria in my campaign as France. Shattered and broken, torn to pieces and left to suffer in humiliation, for they could not stop me, they could not stop GLORY

Not all of my screenshots work as i lost most of them, so instead gaze upon this glorious map of when i left off from those days of yore, those glorious days.

France Endured, all over Austria's face then gave it a good kicking whilst it was at it.

I have to do this again soon, it was fun.

England, that's one major nation you haven't played as yet.
Pro: tolerance, individualism, technocratism, democratism, freedom, freedom of speech and moderate religious expression, the ban on hate speech, constitutional monarchism, the Rhine model
Against: intolerance, radicalism, strong discrimination, populism, fascism, nazism, communism, totalitarianism, authoritarianism, absolutarianism, fundamentalism, strong religious expression, strong nationalism, police states

If you like philosophy, then here you can see what your own philosophical alignements are.

More Austria. This episode contains the preparations of war with Austria, so you don't really need to look at this, but it's suggested you read this. I assemble a massive frigate fleet to blockade France's navy and trap it. That is going well, thankfully. There is a massive group of men on the France/Papal States border. Note that the Papal States is a ally of France. I gain more allies, and fortunately, as of now, France's only ally is the Papal States, which I have a doom-stack reserved for. Meanwhile, I have many of the powers in my list of allies, including the various bits that still remain of the HRE, Prussia, and surprisingly, Sweden. Belgium is also a ally. As of now, it seems that France will loose this war.

And then suddenly Bonaparte comes charging in with 50k tanks with laser cannons and all was well.

I'm pretty sure Ol' Boney is dead. Unless you are talking about Napoleon III. And it won't happen. If it happened the entire world would stop to fight France.

And they would fail, for when the Bonaparte rises once more, the world... shall know our wrath.

Gonna start a game in CK2 in the British Isles in the 796 start. My question: Scottish/Pictish, Irish, Welsh, Cornish(which is listed as Breton in-game, prob for simplicity), or Anglo-Saxon?


Generally I choose the nations I play because I really want to play a certain way(and really I'm just looking for a game right now), or because I have X ancestry(which is not useful in this case because I have ancestors from every culture listed except Cornish). So... I have no clue which. Pls help.

Cornish. Restore the Isles.
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Tallying the votes so far, we have:

Cornish: 1 (Trans)
Irish: 1 (Huskar)
Anglo-Saxon: 1 (Renoa)

But, I'm also leaning mildly towards Pictish->Scottish because muh ancestry and Scotland and Alba gu brath and whatnot, and I'm also leaning towards Welsh because why the fuck shouldn't I put long confusing w-filled words all over the Isles.

What could possibly go wrong?
