Paradox Games VII: Vicky III - Vicky Meets The Blorg

[Ifreann]

Well, that was fun.
Glorious Mamluks.
Europe, feat. Albania.
India and South East Asia.
North East Asia and uncolonised Siberia.
Oceania.
South America.
North America, where most of my colonial nations are.
Achievements unlocked. Wish I'd remembered Georgia On My Mind, I had just been at war with Spain and they have South Georgia.

I don't want to know how Granada colonized Australia and not named it as Grenadan Australia.

They don't have a colonial nation. That's their capital now.

DO I LOOK STUPID TO YOU?

You do look like you've seen some shit.

Like a Portuguese blob.

[Impaled Nazarene]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Free vassals that love you unconditionally. Sweet.

The Empress looks more masculine than her husband.

If my character could age, he would have a pretty nice beard, but the stupid anime portraits make it so that anyone who is young doesn't have a beard, you have to be middle aged for it. These are the pitfalls of immortality, people. I use the anime portraits because I think the vanilla portraits are hideously ugly.

To the wall with you.

I finally figured out how to give my Emperor and Empress the bodies of 64 year olds (turn their immortality off and then back on again), and now they eternally have those bodies, so finally no more crazy stuff. It got so ridiculous I was able to marry my genius grandson and genius granddaughter together and have them be the same age. This is the Emperor (note the beard and wrinkles; see, he's not effeminate!). And This is the state of the world.

This is even worse. To the wall with your corpse, and to the coldest gulag with your remains.

The edgy teenagers in Adana just won't shut up. By now I'm keeping my retinues in there just because I expect a revolt.

Back in my day, edgy teenagers burnt the next door town down!

Or an all you can eat Chinese buffet.

Pretty much. One of yesterday's rulers went through eight wives. Three got divorced for cheating on him, one got murdered for cheating on him, one died of old age, one died in childbirth, and two died for the glory of ultimogeniture.

[Genivaria]

A Habsburg for the Spanish Throne! OUR ALLIANCE IS SEALED FOREVER!

And now the game is ruined.

Not a Hapsburg fan I take it?

Back in my day, edgy teenagers just smoked weed and listened to My Chemical Romance. Different strokes, I guess.

No one likes the Habsburgs. Why do you think they had to marry each other? No one else would have them.

"A Habsburg? I would rather have the pox! Royston! Bring me wine! Ahahaha!" -Earl Huskar IV Esquire of Belfast prior to his death of the Pox, 1742

Fortunately for the people of Belfast, Royston the Wine Carrier was a just and fair ruler.

I'm sure this is nothing to worry about. So-called Revolutionaries could never threaten Italian ascendancy...

Hrmmmmmmm. 1.2 million men, you say? With national unrest so high that separatist rebels are going to erupt all over the place until I get this under control?

These notifications all came at once. I get something like this every couple of months. I think I logged off around 1806, and I'm still squashing rebels. That last screenshot was taken back in the glory days of the empire, when I had manpower and hadn't slaughtered most of the population.

Don't they realise they're standing in the way of the glory of Rome?

I mean, I tried explaining to them that if they kept this up we'd never manage to restore the empire to Trajan's borders, but they just kept throwing rocks and shouting some nonsense about rights.

Bah, pure contrariness is all it is. They can't seriously want to be Welsh rather than Roman.

I mean, would they rather shag sheep, or slaves taken from the interior of Europe?

It's the time of the season, some kids are singing in my court.

I hate those Christmas carolingians.

Oh but they have the best songs. "12 Wars of Succession" is my favorite, but "Frankish Knight", "The First Karling", "Blob up the World" and "Karling Hells" are good too.

Rebels are the edgy teens of history.

Playing Portugal in Victoria II,

It's now 1921- The Tsar Riegns

No Great European War (instead a colonization rush for China)

Peru had become the world's first communist nation.

Greece soon followed.

No German Empire.

France Dominates Africa.

I don't know when a game of Victoria II ends....
