i hear napoleon is good by total war standards esp the peninsular campaign

yea napoleon is the superior TW in recent years, Shogun 2 is alright as well. I hear the AI in atilla is as atrocious as ever, but that's CA.txt

There's been a bug forever now that American culture pops up if you are GB but it only does it while the colony is still a colony so your colonist just magically converts it back to British again.

Hey guys just came into the thread, I noticed EU4 doesn't reward you for staying an OPM for centuries? WTF?

some insane guy in the games thread ran an OPM frankfurt game and honestly I kinda want to imitate him now



something on the order of 150k personal + vassal troops as an OPM ain't half bad

I don't think it was exactly 30 years but it was like 20 something. It took a long time for everyone to take white peace until it was just the emperor (belgium shaped haitnaut) to be the only one left. Then I just owned them hard.

Our leagues were evenly balanced but I guess my teams AI was just worse.

I keep seeing free cities get stuck totally peniless and unable to do anything all game because peasant rebels bigger than their force limit spawn, take too much damage, and then can't siege the fort down, but the garrison is too small to sortie. This happened to me too but you can just accept demands on peasant rebels, thank god. If it was zealots or something it would pretty much be a guaranteed restart for you.

Had a really good Venice run going which got stopped cold by the Ottomans, who beat me + France + Castile + Poland-Lithuania. I'm trying to think about what I could have done differently but I'm not sure. They had a bigger army and navy and more manpower than all of us. And their terrain is a nightmare to fight on due to the attrition and the amount of mountains/hills. gently caress.

Attempt #2. Different approach this time, using a lot more vassals and not just annexing them straight away.



That's more like it!

I started a 769 game as a Ruler-Designed Mongol Jain ruler in Ireland and it's just as hilarious as promised. I'm King of Ireland and a couple of counties shy of controlling all of Scotland and still less than 100 years into the save.
At Medium Centralization, my current ruler can personally hold all but 3 counties in Ireland with Ultimo. I've upgraded to Castles in my whole demesne and am currently working on building Cities everywhere, too. Which means I've got pretty decent levies available.

A wonderful bonus is the Holy Order - 6k troops available as a healthy insurance policy against heathens that means I don't even need to raise my own troops to squash Catholic uprisings :black101:

Lol at this guy being proud of this. 100 years to conquer Ireland as the most hilariously overpowered culture/religion possible. LAst time I did vanilla Ireland I formed Britannia with the 50 year old dude you start as before he died.

Is there any map game that has a heavy focus on people other than CK2? Not looking for stuff like the Total War series.

I did it everyone I finally beat Kebab.



Byzantium is my vassal (about to be annexed) and my recent new vassal Mamluks are about to get a shitload of their cores back from Ottomans. gently caress the Kebab. Even after driving them out of Europe they still got huge again from snacking on Asia.

This Baltic Crusader game looks like it's going to get annoying...Scandinavia is giant and has taken the Finnish Russian region stuff, and Ottomans are so strong.
