that's what i think happened. it's only 2260.

my job is now to find out whoever wiped them out and wipe them out in turn. not slavery.

update: overreaction. the UNE are fine, they just didn't join the galactic community for a while.

in other news, there are three human empires now; the UNE, the CWM, and the human empire, spiritualist rebels from another empire i assume the UNE lost a war to. i also gained a voluntary subject, which was nice.

Vikings are always fun, its a fall back for me but after a while they get a bit stale.

Maybe pick somewhere you have never played before? I had a really really fun campaign in India in CK2 once after not touching the place for ages.

I found an old screenshot of that Hungarian game i played in EU4 a few years back!

Ahhh the memories. Its even got Hungarian Somaliland in it, but is before my great wars with Spain, the first of which killed like 500k people i think and ended in a white peace.

i'm committing slavery, but not genocide. it took me longer than i'd like to admit to remember that metallurgists are specialists, not workers...

I hope it's the opposite

It is poetically ironic for someone to commit vengeance, in the name of someone who is all well and for all the blood spilt to be for nothing.

Always good fun to inflate the enemy casualty numbers on the war screen.

On a different note, I've been playing KR4 again. Pretty fun in my opinion, though the 2nd Weltkrieg slowdown is still quite noticeable. Fortunately, it goes away when the war ends, and doesn't come back unless war breaks out amongst the victors.

I imagine that we’ll get some follow-up patches later this week anyways to fix any simple obvious issues that arise, as is often the case with less-than-excellent Paradox releases.

I usually play the UNE, and generally vassalize and integrate the CWM.

One should always spawn if the other does. Though there have been multiple times, even in newer versions, where the "find the lost colony ships and encounter the Commonwealth" event chain never fires like it should.
