I had the same thing playing the Iran mod. The Nazis and Turks had been fighting the Soviets for a while, but for some reason I never got attacked by the Soviets or called in by the rest of the Axis, even though I was fighting the Allies alongside them too

If it's like other Paradox games as long as the host has it everyone can play with it, which would be cool. I don't have it personally but I'd like to check it out.

Lol that would be cool. I'd probably gently caress it up but if we have strength in sheer numbers it could work.

Seems like if you played this at max speed you could do a whole game in a handful of hours which is cool.

Finally got a good Florence game off the ground. On previous attempts I got frustrated by the seemingly limited expansion opportunities in Italy due to trade leagues and the tangled web of alliances, but then I realised all I had to do was expand elsewhere, such as Provence and Savoy. Then once the Shadow Kingdom event fires you can go ham in Italy, although that's a little bit easier said than done right now since Austria (my ally) and France are allied with pretty much everyone on the peninsula right now, but you can get around that by waiting until they get into a war etc.



Savoy is my vassal.

I have all the provinces to form Tuscany, but I'm not sure if I should yet, since it changes you to a Feudal Monarchy and right now being a Republic seems a lot better due to the sweet leaders you can get, plus all the republic events. Would be interested to see what other people think about the optimal time to hit the button, if ever.

Idea groups I went for were Influence -> Administrative -> Offensive.

I'd say never form Tuscany. It doesn't give you any real bonuses besides turning you into monarchy and giving you increased centralization for 10 years. Florence is really powerful as a republic, especially with their ideas. Plus, Florence's color is much better than Tuscany's.

I would argue that you should stay in the HRE and form Tuscany to steal the Emperor title but I'm insane and love to muck in HRE hell

Can you do an AAR/recap?

I would've been down but I had to head to work. I'd be up for one on Friday if people are around, could do the Commonwealth gimmick thing.

I wish KR was on a more complete state cause that would be a way cooler MP than vanilla. I think the Aprés Moi Le Deluge mod would make for good MP too cause the countries are more or less balanced

I am down depending on the time. I can play Malaysia, though I guess Australia would be best except I absolutely suck at amphibious assaults.
