Paradox Games II

[Shaggai]

I just helped Jorvik hold off three or four Holy Wars, thereby bringing Norse Moral Authority up to 50%. I hold two holy sites. I have a choice of which one to take next. I could declare war on Svithjod for Uppland, or on Frisia for Zeeland. Frisia controls Lotharingia, Burgundy, Italy, and some of actual Frisia. However, nearly all of Italy is in revolt, along with some other scattered bits, and Frisia isn't Karling and has no valid allies. Both Frisia and Svithjod have smaller armies than me. Which one do I go for?

Funny story. After briefly playing an Ibadi Caliphate, a brief Italian Sunni Sardinia, and a very brief Brittany, I began to get frustrated that I couldn't complete a playthrough no matter what. Then I realized that in two days it won't really matter, and I'll begin a playthrough of 1,200 years from CK2 to Vicky2.

Two days? What happens in two days?

Ten. I meant 10.

Ah, that makes sense.

Perhaps he does mean two days

Im on to you Trans..

Screw it, I'm going with Frisia. Even if Moral Authority goes below 50% during the war, the gain of Zeeland will make up for it. Besides, I'm unlikely to have as good of a chance to take Zeeland again. Giant revolts don't happen every day.

Edited my post about the Charlemagne DLC, on the previous page.

Also, tribal holdings.

October 14th is the official release date.

Source?

Also, I've placed it and re-updated it again. It's on page 203, for those who want to see every new detail that's coming with the Charlemagne DLC.

Yeah. I currently like Persia the most. You start at war in 867 and can easily conquer a lot with just breaking up the Abbasid blob.

However, in 769 this will be harder... Maybe I should try to make Russia again - with 100% historical borders as of in 1900.

Also, you can export a Vicky 2 game to H0I3... thus having about 1196 years of gameplay. (HOI3 has a mod which makes it end in 1965), and there even are some few mods that can make it up to the 21th century. So yeah, you could play from 769 up to the after effects of 9/11 in 2020 . . . That makes a game of 1251 years possible.

So! Found this topic, loved it, and wanted to put my two shoes in this subject. I don't know what everyone's talking about so please forgive me since this regards Vicky 2 and not Europa Universalis.
I just got done playing a short playthrough of the Kaiserreich modification for Vichy 2 (see what I did there?). And yeah, there is a Kaiserreich mod for Vikky. Have to say. There are both little events both historical to the storyline and random events, which is sad but it's in the Alpha. I was playing as France at that time. Just recommending the mod out. I don't want to get into a conversation about it because I rarely check the forums.. probably going to play DH or something.

For your information, we're talking about everything in the Paradox games. And no problem, great that you're using that mod. It's indeed quite good.

Well thank you then. Strangely, in the current post-great war history of Kaiserreich (1922-1936, which is short) I received an event for France regarding the exiled pretender to the Orléanist throne, Jean III... which was really a really awesome choice. Although I didn't mind the Fascist system in France, being a king of Orléans was way better. Awesome mod. Really have to recommend it. Although that was my first playthough there are other nations like the German Empire and such. Yeah.

Mighty Tyr has smiled upon me. I have taken Zeeland from Frisia, and reformed the Norse faith!

Praise be to the Alfather!

And you did it as Ireland as well! *virtual high five!*

Odin favors the brave.

Actually, the Ireland thing isn't that difficult. Starting as Suthreyjar makes it really easy to county-conquest each of the Irish counts and create Irland.

Oh im just now noticing its "Irland" instead of Ireland. I managed to reform the faith as a local Irish king following the Norse faith. Also managed to conquer most of the British isles and had a relative on the throne of England once. Though it all kind of went down hill there...

Blasted HRE... why did you have to crush my dreams? Britannia was almost mine!

I'd say Italy, since a revolt does not happen often. While Frisia often stays independent for at least 10 years.

EDIT: nevermind

Yeah. Ireland (Irland), Scotland (Skotland), and Sweden (Svithjod) all have different names when they're Norse.

Goddammit, Europe. (That's a dynasty map, in case it wasn't clear. The actual borders are approximately the same, though.

At least it isn't the Karlings.

Yeah, there don't seem to be any independent Karlings left. East Francia is still Karling, but it's under the HRE. Still, those borders.

[Bralia]

I started a Prussia game, I have no idea what I'm doing, but I forced Denmark into my sphere, and took two of their provinces for only 0.3 infamy, so I think that's pretty good, and almost all of Germany (except Holstein) is in my sphere. Also, while I wasn't looking, Mexico apparently crushed Texas, and got Oklahoma and Colorado, and is now in the number 8 slot as a Great Power.

Mexico won't last long. America will gain Manifest Destiny soon enough and take all of the west. Shouldn't take more than two wars for the AI to pull off.

[Feichland]

I just finished my first USA Vicky 2 game in AHD, any ideas for what I should play as now?

[Katyuscha]

Any advice for a Ming play through? Dis shit is complicated

Pray that you don't get Time of Troubles.
At least that's what I can tell from when I was playing as Ayutthaya.
