I played through a couple of years of Berkut's England to see how bad things really were.  Turns out they're pretty bad.  Really bad.  So bad that his people were overjoyed when the king kicked off :



Yeah, I saw that in one of my vain attempts to figure out how to salvage this disaster.

What bizarro event chain is going on behind the scenes that saw my previous leader murdering his own heir, and shoving her body behind a wall in a cellar, then killing off people who found it, and now this?

I sure hope he dies quickly - I really need that -2 RR.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I am: back! Are there any countries left? Besides Portugal?  :yuk:
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Assuming you actually want to play and will pay attention to the thread, I think your best bet for playable countries are Portugal, Brandenburg (TO is dead, Brandenburg can eventually form Prussia), or Lithuania (since Poland is...less than workable at the moment.

Of course, if you relish a challenge, you might play Poland and try to reclaim everything (I'd help you against Hungary, at least).

Out of those, Portugal seems the most playable. They're not about to be annexed or something, I hope.

Hungary is also a viable option--they've gotten rather large, of late...

And no, Portugal is not about to get annexed.  When England gets its shit together, however, I suspect you may run up against them in North America.

And maybe the French too.

Portugal went wild just about everywhere.  They could stand to be pared down and focus their efforts a bit more.

Indeed. Some paring would be a very fine idea.

I know I think I need to take control of them.
