I noticed in the attempts I had at making a fool proof novgorod start, Sweden fails to break off in the first war without player help, and then gets "vassal" opinion toward Denmark until they are integrated.

I saw battle wagons mentioned in a unit armor advantage description. Also elephants? Not sure who has elephants... Surely not the Ottomans?

Maybe there's a future expansion planned for Mughal conquest or something? That would have elephants and roughly the right tech. I know they want to add more campaigns.

maybe that's a planned expansion too. hussite wars would be cool. Early Italian Wars missions have crowsbows and stuff.

how is the campaing mode n pike and shot? is it just a series of missions in a certain order? does anything carry over from map to map?

nope, it's just a bunch of scenarios you can play in any order, it's not really a campaign. also the battles only have one playable side which kinda blows

It's just missions. They seem to be mostly What Ifs where you play the side that lost historically. The level editor they used to make the in game missions is available + a skirmish mode that generates pretty drat good battles of any size and include armies you don't see in the main game (Polish and Ottoman for example)

it's basically a board wargame but with a bunch of stats that would be hell to keep track of without a computer, not a traditional campaign game

we should do an Imp Zone multiplayer game some time, in this humble gamer's opinion. ck2 and eu4 are both fun in multiplayer as long as you either have more than 2 people or are close enough to butt heads a bunch.

Paradox never gave anything to the Wizman. That he didn't, didn't already have

His mods weren't very good from the beginning, CK2+ was kinda bloated and bad.

So please, believe in me, when I say

Wiz is really gay gay gay gay.

Wallachia already has its own ideas now...I like the Romanian ideas a little more though. Anything with +core cost is so lovely for the player.
