I haven't had a chance to sink my teeth into AoW yet, but I looked at the map and new bookmarks for like 20 mins yesterday while making the Antonio Banderas Assassins Laptop Noise.

I started a game as Austria, but gave up when I realised I was doing nothing but waiting for DHEs to fire...might do a Novgorod game again and piss off Sweden so I can test out Finnish march.

Byzantium has some better allies in the early game now, so they have a much better chance of surviving as the player. That's about all I've noticed so far. I'm gonna try an Aztec game now that they actually have something to do for more than 30 years.

also performance is way worse what the gently caress

What do you even do as Austria. I been playing this game for like 20 years and I'm bored to tears waiting for historical events to fire, and beating the poo poo out of whoever I feel like because I'm so powerful.

Beat up people that are getting big, push back the turk, vassalize everyone, gently caress around in italy, etc.

I usually have a bunch of fun in my Austria games.


I'm doing Brandenburg-Prussia to test out the 30 years war mechanics. I have about 50 years to go before it triggers I guess? I've been expanding east while befriending France and trying to build up Protestant allies.

The new reformation system is a lot better I think. Early converters don't immediately crash and burn.

Austria seems to be able to actually stand up to France a bit now. They've beaten the poo poo out of them twice so far. We beat up Austria once but didn't get much out of it.

It also seems to run faster despite the number of provinces and new countries so I guess removing dynamic prices worked.

As far as bugs go all I've noticed so far is the miscalculated distance for Bremen and uh... I believe that the high maneuver thing where your general will ignore river crossings if he has high maneuver does NOT apply to rebels. It works real well on everyone else though. Seems to make maneuver actually okay.

There also seems to be a bug with the Peter the Great events (I had them trigger for Muscovy in 1520 or so?) When the Russian monarch visits you as a Western power and you accept, there's a follow up event to let him look at government, army, navy, or kick him out, but all 4 options give the source country -25 relations...

I started a Brandenburg game because Austria was boring. Autonomy has made the form Prussia decision really good, Imo, since you probably only need to core stuff to keep your OE managable, and then you get cores on everything. At least that's how it;s going to work in my head.

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention last night but if you see an allied army with a negative battle modifier having trouble and you move in with a high maneuver general (maybe this only works across rivers?) it seems to wipe out the negative modifiers.

I'm loling at how some of my ck2 reviews were recieved. The one where I say people hate Sunset invasion because they are cheaters that suck at the game is voted helpful, but pretty much the same thing for the converter has probably the worst rating of any review I've ever made, including the one where I called the Wiz a friend of the family.

Merchant republics still kick all sorts of rear end. +10% morale whenever you need it in the early game is such a game changer.

My 30 Years War was started by someone besides me (though I ended up getting ally dragged into it) and they ended up giving up without hitting the war goal on like year 15 while I was preparing for a new offense despite.

We had Vienna but Austrians and Russians had managed to run wild in the Ottoman Empire and France never joined due to a truce. Ended with the Peace of Westphalia. What a shame.

Oh and it doesn't work in occupied territory. Like it should be making Polish Patriots revolt in occupied Krakow but instead it creates Prussian Peasants who march off toward Berlin.

Anything that makes me lose stability in the first 150 years or so drives me into a rage because I usually have a shortage of ADM in the first place since I always exploit the first few tactics bonuses and kill my neighbors.
