Paradox Games VI: Cuckolding Habsburgs since 1076 AD

[Renoa]

Austro-Hunary?

More like Hungaro-Austria.

YES.

-CAN'T- -STOP- -THAT- -KOLBÁSZ-

[Eol Sha]

Cool, how did it turn out?

Ongoing currently. Made Castille collapse to rebels after they carried my war with France for me.

Good. First rule of war? Let your allies absorb the lead.

[Kernan]

I just started a Western Roman game in WTWSMS mod and finally managed to defeat the barbarians, kill them and then annex them. With the realm saved may Rome's light shine bright again over Europe!

[Community Values]

I started a nice game as Muscovy. I did what I was supposed to do, and I seemed in a pretty good place (even in aggressive expansion was a bit high)

And then Lithuania Declares on me. I get a bunch of mercenaries and wait for General Winter to take my enemies. Then the Golden Horde declares. Eventually I'm able to start beating them back, albeit slowly. However, right as I start occupying their land, Denmark declares war on me, with Sweden and Norway. How fucked am I?

[Kernan]

Yeah never mind on that whole glory of Rome thing. Romulus died of cancer and his kid died of the plaugue so I only got like...what...100 years in? So fuck me I guess. I have a seriously love/hate relationship with CKII.

At least the game didn't tank your three hours spent remilitarizing Mexico because that crippled fuck FDR decided to drop one final screw you while D.C burned.

Take heart lad and fight for Mother Russia till the bitter end, it has endured worse odds than this.

Rossiya – svyashchennaya nasha derzhava,
Rossiya – lyubimaya nasha strana.
Moguchaya volya, velikaya slava –
Tvoyo dostoyan'ye na vse vremena!

Slav'sya, Otechestvo nashe svobodnoye,
Bratskikh narodov soyuz vekovoy,
Predkami dannaya mudrost' narodnaya!
Slav'sya, strana! My gordimsya toboy!

Ot yuzhnykh morey do polyarnovo kraya
Raskinulis' nashi lesa i polya.
Odna ty na svete! Odna ty takaya –
Khranimaya Bogom rodnaya zemlya!


Shirokiy prostor dlya mechty i dlya zhizni.
Gryadushchiye nam otkryvayut goda.
Nam silu dayot nasha vernost' Otchizne.
Tak bylo, tak yest' i tak budet vsegda!

You are probably going to get your ass kicked though.

Is winter around though? If not... Yeah you're going to get your ass kicked.

[Alvecia]

I think the turquoise Austria is a nice compliment to the glorious Hungarian green.

I suppose it's appropriate that your borders look like you're about to take a bite out of Italy.

Naples is held by my enemy Spain, so i might take it from them at some point.

Think ill focus on the Middle east for another bit, then go after Naples.

Sharpen your teeth on the East. I get it.

With your rapid expansionism, you might as well try and form Rome.

Eh dont know about forming rome, might just stick with Hungary.

It's like a Build-A-Bear, but on a planetary scale.

"Approaching Sevastopol habitat"
"Sevastopol... Sevastopol... sounds famil- TURN AROUND NOW

[The Huskar Social Union]

Ive noticed an annoying tendency with allied ai and sieging in EU4 since i started playing it again, they will get the siege counter right up to the very last mark, then they just leave and lose their progress.

They dont do it with actual forts, mostly anyway, but with non fort provinces, and its quite annoying because i then have to send my armies off half the time to do it when im fighting elsewhere.

Huskar would lose against France.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Poland has lost its position as a great power in my game, and just as that happened... a new nation arose in the east and took its place

I think we are going to be in for some costly wars in that region in the future.

Also i took Mecca when i finished off Yemen.

Im allied with them, more developed and have a larger army : P

Nor do good relations apparently

One of these days, Huskar, alliance broken, rivalry declared, Franco-Russian alliance.

Well considering Poland has lost territory to Prussia and the Livonian order, both of which are allied with Russia i believe, probably soon.

Superior numbers mean nothing to France.

Im not planning on attacking france anyway, my interests west go no further than Italy and Austria, and i have no interests in anything north of me besides having an ally up there. My complete attention is to the east and south.
