Yeah we're pretty much looking to be a somewhat larger Portugal going into V2 which sounds like fun.

Case in point on suboptimal play: we ally Qatalun after they eat 82 AE, and then they start a war to raise it to 100. Also pretty sure they're over 100OE right now, but I'm not sure if that translates into unrest in March of the Eagles. For those not in the know, AE(aggressive expansion) is the main mechanic that limits expansion in EU4. If it goes over 50, countries can join a coalition against you and launch a punitive war to destroy you. OE(overextension) is another of the expansion limiting mechanics. The more clay you take in a war(that isn't one of your cores) the higher it goes, and the higher the civil unrest and chance of revolts breaking out become. If you get 100 OE, a bunch of really lovely events start firing, losing you generals, advisors, monarch points, increasing unrest or autonomy in your provinces, etc, along with the now epic levels of unrest and revolt chance.

I allied them because the Majlis voted to work with the Revolutionaries, and with Bavaria on the decline, Tirruni became the main revolutionary target. Also, to help them expand a bit, I gave them a bunch of claims on surrounding areas, so their AE wasn't that bad.

I’m actually torn between rooting for the Islamic theocracy and the atheist revolutionaries. Something tells me that Morocco is going to wreck us for choosing the revolutionaries, but aside from that, I’m pretty proud of what the successor states of Al Andalus have done.

Feeling fine. Glad plucky little Charca wasn't completely Annexed. (Anyone remember when they were a Great Power???) I know it's a little early to ask, but who is gonna get the big USA gently caress-off bonuses in this timeline? Ibriz is the biggest (and most prominently featured in this LP) country over there, but unless I'm misremembering, Anbaila should own the actual territory that caused that immigration bonus.

I really wasn't trying to claim that you were playing poorly and that's why I avoided terms like that. You're roleplaying, and I really just wanted to point out a practical difference between optimal conquer-the-world type of play, and roleplaying.

Veryslightlymad posted:Feeling fine. Glad plucky little Charca wasn't completely Annexed. (Anyone remember when they were a Great Power???) I'm still not sure what to do about that, because the Celtic Empire was still fighting the independence war against its colonies when EU4 ended. I'll probably link it to how they perform in MotE, so if everything goes to poo poo and France occupies all of Britain, then I'll probably have them all be independent republics in Vic2. If the Celts manage to reconquer England or something though, I'll just assume they were able to crush the independence revolt fairly quickly, and all of her colonies will still be puppet states/dominions in 1836.

Can we just remove the fuckoff huge bonuses that make no sense? I don't mean get rid of the bonus to immigrant attraction for being in the New World/Oceania, but deleting the "win game" button in the Statue of Liberty and the like should be fine.

Oh yeah, those modifiers definitely won't be there. I was talking more about the fact that Celtic colonies will likely be republics if they gain independence, and with a few good reforms, they should be able to challenge Ibriz (which is likely going to be more autocratic, at least in the beginning) for immigration.

I suppose I can rename it to Italy or something, but the king of Provence only just lost his lands in Occitania, so it does make some sense to leave it as is for a little while. That said, Tirruni will probably be invading and rump-stating the rest of Italy very early in March of the Eagles (he has a bunch of land dominance objectives in Italy), and will likely set up a sister republic/puppet, so it'll definitely get a new name and government then.

I wonder what happened to turn Provence from a merchant Republic to a monarchy. In game I assume low Republic Tradition which switched it to a Republican dictatorship and then a govt change to a monarchy (I don't know if that's possible, Ive never played a Republican dictatorship for long since it seems like the worst of both worlds) but i wonder what the narrative would be. Something like one merchant dynasty monopolizing trade until they had hegemonic levels of control over the city?

Chatrapati posted:Does much cultural conversion happen in EU? I'd be interested to see what the cultures of France and Britain look like. The Americas too. Not outside the colonial zones unless you're dead set on it or need to preempt stuff like the Dutch uprisings, as it's very expensive in the old world. Most good players rarely use it. It's great insurance against seperatists destroying the country in case of total disaster though, so the best players I've seen, the ones that conquer multiple continents in MP games with 20+ players, use it frequently.

Will force converting be an option in March of the Eagles? I imagine the consequences of forcing other nations to adopt the Cult of Reason would be rather severe... but it'll be interesting to see how far it can go. If it succeeds here it might even jump the Atlantic in HoI. RA Rx fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Dec 26, 2017 |

I don't think March of the Eagles cares about religion. That said religion is pretty much irrelevant in V2, unless one adds events to trigger based on it.

That said, if the revolutionaries do end up winning the Tirruni Wars, I'll probably give them parties with Atheism as their religious policy, and a modifier to represent the Cult of Reason.

Also, I should point out that going all the way to HOI isn't set in stone, I don't want to force it or something, so I'm only going to go for it if the world at the end of vic2 is set up nicely for a massive world war.

I'm guessing you probably won't be playing Stellaris either, then, especially if Earth doesn't end up under one entity's control? Unless you mod up some kind of scenario with multiple human empires surrounding Earth, I guess.

Stellaris is alright as a standalone game, but doesn't make much sense in a mega-lp unless you conquer the entire world. And with the way things are going for al-Andalus, that isn't looking too likely.
