Languish Universalis - Game thread

[Habbaku]

Let me get this right A.I. Burgundy fought PC England and PC France to a standstill? WTF?

It's what happens when you put two incompetents in charge. 

[katmai]

Well Tamas was in a war with Aragon and Portugal as well as Burgundy. As for kleves excuse...maybe he was too focused on Scotland?

That invective is not really fair - katmai tried his best, and you weren't even there.

I'm making an AAR thread specifically for the AARs, so please keep any commentary in this thread.

Is commentary on the AAR allowed or do you want to keep it to players only?

I think commentary is wholly welcome, even if it isn't.

As for Katmai's country, I'd prefer him taking either Poland or Milan, myself, especially given Milan's relative position in Northern Italy.

Milan is in strong position with all those universities in Northern Italy.

Fire away.

[Slargos]

Yeah, after reading Kleves' account of events, I'm going to go ahead and laugh at you guys.

How about: Katmai gets to choose instead of randomizing between those 3 countries, and in exchange Slargos does not mess with the save file?

I don't think that changes anything. He's missed an entire session and so it would not be unreasonable to at the very least wipe inflation and add some gold. That kind of edits.

But of course, if Katmai himself is fine with just giving it a whack nevermind any editing, then it's none of my business.

Hmmm, after browsing the save file, seems like a tossup between Milan and Holland as to which seems more attractive.

Italy probably has more potential for action, while Holland will more or less be at the mercy of France and Austria. Once the german steamroller picks up speed, woe betides its neighbours. Not to mention the Russian, given all the manoeuvring space in the north. But we'll burn that heretic preacher on the cross when we get to it.

Of course, a Holland that is allowed to drive into northern Germany and pick up some german culture could be a nice counter weight to the relatively free space France, Austria and England are enjoying up there.

Ottoman forces are available for hire at a relatively low cost. 

[Solmyr]

Both Holland and Milan are bound to come into conflict with the HRE if they expand too much. Especially as one of the Austrian missions is to take over Lombardy. Though of course the Habsburgs are open to some kind of arrangement that ensures their Imperial interests are preserved.

Tamas, can you post the save file here so I can take a look at it?

Sure, when I get home

I faced overwhelming odds and walked away with one province more than I started

[jimmy olsen]

Kleves, wtf? Why did you help Tamas? If the Burgundians had him on the run, it was time for you to strike and cripple your main competitor right off the bat.
