At least he's finally come clean.  Now the healing can begin.
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.

Yes, I write on armchairgeneral.com when I have a bit of free time between stealing and tending to my beet farm. And I do it instead of ACTS turns.

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

Everyone knows that if the North hadn't had its head in its ass the war could have been over in 1862.
September 17, 1862, to be precise.  Lee placed his nuts in the vice and anyone but Little Napoleon would have turned the crank.

Waiting to hear some reviews from Languishites.

Looks like it might be good but it is being compared to V2.

lol, while checking out the tutorials, most of the British officers were 'stressed'.

Bloody poofs.

Its out. And thanks to Paradox's shitty releases, I can't pull the trigger on a 20 dollar game.

I'll find out how bad it is in about an hour.

Here's a download link for the manual for anyone interested.

Played the tutorials yesterday, and a few turns as Prussia. I'm a bit lost at the moment; but I like what I see so far.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I'm in the same boat.  I'm not sure the US is a very good 'starter' country, I might have to play a Japan or S-P game for a few years to get my head around everything that is going on.

Well, I looked at the newbie hints in the Paradox forum yesterday. They suggested to take it SLOW - in many cases you'll do just an option or two per turn, and that it's hard to mess up the game in a turn or two. Also, that it takes TIME to make any big changes. You can't just claim a colony in 1 or 2 years like in Vicky.

Though I have to say that when I went through the colonial tutorial yesterday and saw the options there I was: :mmm:

Natural, geographical, anthropological expeditions, sending merchants and mercenaries, build various outposts, send a couple of different military expeditions (pacify, punisch etc.), send the gunboats ...

I think I'll start over as Prussia today.

Btw, I noticed that you can build economic structures in foreign lands - how does that work, mechanics wise? I love that you can build an informal empire that way (think U.S. Fruit in Middle America or the British in Argentina), but what's the pros/cons for the investing party and for the country that gets those investments?

Well, I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I think I have least 20 bucks in pennies in a jar.

And after seeing how the full game runs (slow), I now have: buyer's remorse.
