Paradox Games III: Is being evil a valid cacus belli?

[Jute]

So the conclusion is clear, the 15 $/€ for El Dorado is worth it, and I should rather get that instead of Art of War?

If you like colonisation, yarp. Personally I'm more of an Art of War fan.

What is that better for? Waging war, I suppose?

Has the game of thrones mod for CK2 been crashing a lot for anyone else recently? Its crashed like five times for me today and a bunch yesterday.

Mostly Reformation/30 Years' War stuff really. At least the paid DLC portion.
Also lets you transfer siege control to allies.
Here, have the link, judge for yourself.

Thanks. It also lets you create custom "mark" nations, right?

Assuming you mean this, yes.
Of course, El Dorado lets you make >2 dozen custom nations at start, so there's that to consider in the "make your own nation" department.

March nations was the correct name, sorry, got it mixed up. Although you can create those custom nations while in-game, right? Not sure if that is possible in El Dorado. Still, I guess if I',m not terribly interested in religious wars, Art of War probably isn't the better choice. Agreed?

Ah, marches are a special type of vassal. They get military bonuses, but you can't annex them without revoking their march status (which costs stab and pisses them off).
Yeah, you can create client states in-game, Custom Nations (which is what El Dorado enables) can only be created when you're starting a new game (AFAIK, you can't do it in later lobbies).
Here's the El Dorado link, for comparison. Pick whichever has more cool stuff you want.

Great women in history have now officially made it into EUIV. Thoroughly ripping off this joke from somebody I saw on the Paradox forums, I can't wait to be a 7/7/7, independent woman who needs no CB.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand everyone is reporting that their saves are broken.

Better not be fucked up, i just created a sweet observer game with 20 ai nations battering one another in not too distant future.

I had a 32-custom-nation observer game starting at 51 AD running. Got up to year 1100 before I turned it off.

Sweet, How many of them got wiped out?

[The Huskar Social Union]

Yeah saves are no longer compatible and all the mods are broken as well.

Wonderful.

Well, Egypt invaded western Arabia and formed the Rashidun, who then proceeded to totally fuck up Carthage, Persia, and south India.

Greeceland ended up taking over half the world, and OPM Kiev blobbed so hard it formed Ukraine.

Not here, game updated this morning but save is still working

Also, an update from my Castille game:

As you see, France has become a One province nation. Luckly they are allied to Munster so that once i go to war with them for the last time i'm able to vassalize France and at the same time i get the chance to vassalize my first HRE elector.
I plan to return a few cores to France after they have become my vassal to make sure i have a proper military puppet to fight for me.
Once that war with France and Munster has ended i will break my Alliance with Burgundy and i'll switch over to Austria. Once Burgundy has been taken out i drop Austria and switch to Russia. Just hope that i get enough electors vassalized in time.

I wasn't able to destroy Portugal early on but they're still my allies so i guess its okay. In the America's i'm only hunting for the newly added achievement which states Castille (or Spain, not sure) needs to own Havana, Mexico and Cusco. Should be done without any issues.
Not much to do in Africa, i'm not really planning on doing much there or in Asia for that matter except for conquering all of Japan for the Rising Sun achievement.

Also, wtf is this? Since when can Sunni nations join the Catholic league?

Just booted up my game and it's working great so far. You might want to check your own game, too, it might not be as bad as you think. I'm finally receiving gold fleets, although, I think I preferred not having them. Damn inflation . . .

I'm very interested to know how you designed your 32-nation game. I have a vision of doing something similar and if there's any must-do's or don't's, I'd love to get feedback on that.

The inflation becomes less. Starts out with 0.4 or something like that but in my game it now lies around 0.2 and eventually when i have 2 inflation i only lose 1 gold per month duo to the inflation so i really can't care that much about it, though if you're a small nation i can probably suck.

Started a game as Cusco in 1325.


Revolts.
Revolts everywhere.
