Johann?
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.

Context on why that photo is showing up?

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Ah just saw it was a "retaliation" post.

At least they have learned when its time to cut bait - unlike what happened with the Russian developer that had the first crack at CK1

Remember that. What were they called--Snowball, I think?

Wow, they immediately go nuclear?  No wonder their game didn't go anywhere.

Shame, but no surprise given the lack of updates in recent months.

I still think that the underlying Vicky systems (spheres of influence, limited wars, trade & economy focus, strong focus on gaining prestige over your peers, more intricate political system etc.) would make for a better Cold War game basis than HoI's combat/war focus.

Agreed.
I have actually been playing around with Vic 2 a bit, now that the game is set (no more expansions and patches) and the big mod projects have released their finals as well.  It plays pretty well overall if not quite as immersive as CK2, and the diplo system in the final version is actually pretty good.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

It seems we're bound to find that out ourselves, as people who has done so before us just drops cryptic clues and/or fashion statements when they learn the secret.

Future Lettow.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I will be shocked if Lettow is ever north of 160.
