No, will tell him.

And congrats :)

In this new game, I have the most abysmal starting position. River blocking me from west, norh and east, enemy palace from south-east, and a barren wasteland to the south-west.

Thanks. :)

Similar. I have not one place of power within my reach.

British inflation is now: zero. British Raj is now: started.

Also, the British Royal Navy has now been built up to specs after the adoption of Press Gangs.

My goal next session: connect the two halves of the Austrian Empire.
Done.
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.

What a fucking disaster of a session. Thanks for bailing me out.

Not sure what the deal was there - my infamy was low, and suddenly everyone was at war with me.

They have CBs on you, they think they can take you (your army is tiny for being Russia), they declare war. Other people see you fighting/moving troops away from their borders/your WE growing, they declare war too. AI is a bitch like that in HTTT.

Well I got a weakling CoT out of helping you, so no worries :P

With constables having built, my income is quite good, my only limiting factor is infamy.

How important is the actual relationship score in whether your neighbors go to war with you?

They all went to war with me immediately - could not have been because of WE, becuase it was zero at the time it all started.

It all matters.  They especially like to dog-pile.  Make sure you have a very large army.

Yeah, I've been running with a pretty small army for a while now, trying to get inflation down. I've bumped it up quite a bit now, hopefully that will help.

Now I am going to have to go back to war with Al-K though - they have all my damn colonies!

That was pretty ridiculous though. It was pretty much hopeless trying to deal with them all at once.

Picture time!  I leave it to later on to do any real commentary other than off-the-cuff stuff.  Berkut should, of course, feel free to chime in--as should the rest of you.



We have a new kid on the block, ladies and gentlemen...Spain, thanks in part to French advisory, has achieved their proper place in the sun.  A little more tweaking and they might even overtake the glory that is France.



Of course, if you look at this, you'll notice why Spain is technologically backwards in comparison to the real tech giants of France and Austria--they have many poor provinces.



The naval situation has changed dramatically.  France simply can't support a large navy without access to naval supplies, of which her home ports provide very few in comparison to others.



And, lastly, the relative situation of the armies of the great nations.  France has, wisely, kept its costs down by eschewing too much a build up.
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.

Raising your army closer to your support cap will certainly help--it will actually make your border nations' AI afraid of you.  You should also try to keep your navy maxed out for the same reason.

 :lol:  I just noticed that the Timurids had a little resurrection.
