Aragon has never been a problem for me when playing near it.
Morocco can definitely mess up plans though.

And you won't really whine about Panzers. You'll be more like "Why on Earth am I fighting against Germany, the Soviet Union, and America?"


WTF are you playing as for that to happen?

Hey now, some of the people around here are Catholic and thus automatically can't be a wizard anyway!

The Prussians ended the war against the Brits in a white peace, but since the Belgians surrendered before that I got to keep Vlaanderen and Wallonie.
All you need is a bit of luck so France doesn't intervene.

Speaking of challenges that I'm the best at, here's my current attempt at reviving Zoroastrianism.
867 start, Ironman off, and two mods enabled. Knights and Squires and Friendly Nonaggression Pacts.
I haven't sworn fealty or falsely confessed my faith.

It's all Karen now.

I don't understand what's happening anymore.

Also, I''m really bad at committing to playing lesser nations. First Spain, then the Netherlands, and now I've just given those two up and done yet another France game.

I think that their history division misunderstood exactly how slow phalanxes were to manuever.
While she had no regrets about throwing the lever to douse her husband's mistress in molten gold, Blanche did feel a pang of conscience for the innocent bystanders whose proximity had caused them to suffer gilt by association.

It clearly took Alexander 30 years to conquer half of Iran. Then the peace conference, oh boy. Iran simply would not accept a peace deal where Macedonia got more than 6 provinces and then the gods said no fucking way your warscore ain't high enough to do anything despite Alexander having won every battle and occupying every last grain of sand of their empire.
