One kingdom of traitors to the north destroyed, and so another takes its place! We are betrayed, and why not? Decrepit Morocco and jealous France fear our ambition, our potential, our power. They have reason to fear: no matter what it takes, no matter how many decades, we will have our due.

I actually laughed when it popped up, because I had no idea why they'd break the alliance, but looking back I think they got that stupid "Alliance Broken" event. I probably should've removed it from the mod, but it was too late and actually fit in surprisingly well with the narrative, so I just went with it.

We're forever doomed to be incapable of reuniting the peninsula, and we've probably missed the boat on Africa by now too. It is literally impossible for good things to happen to Al-Andalus, let's just go back to spamming Moderates until the Socialists pop and spend the remaining 60 years playing with our trains and making art because that's the only thing we've ever managed to do halfway competently.

Let's not go overboard here though. Leon-Castile is gone, Qattulun is a rump state, and Palermo is under our thumb. We've lost France, but there are other allies out there, especially since Bavaria is on the verge of unifying Germany. We've been in way worse spots (which were totally not my fault).

I was worried for a moment when you split off an army to go fight Palmero ASAP, but honestly that all worked out fairly ok. The rebels and unfinished unification aren't ideal, but that was the push in conquered land we needed to push ourselves up to the big boy league. I'd be happy with going Imperialist from now on and letting them build up some boaties and fix the bordergore whenever a crack emerges.

The Iberian War actually went better than I could have hoped, we completely pushed Morocco's poo poo in. If it weren't for Frangleterre being their allies I'd think we'd be nigh ready to crush them. eta: Btw, how did we end up with reactionary revolts when we had a reactionary government?

Our government type isn't sufficiently reactionary I guess. gently caress France, I wish we'd been given the chance to vote on if we wanted to support them in their power grab. I only wanted to ally them to prevent backstabs but I forgot that V2 predates the Paradox rule that alliance breaks give you a peace treaty.

Even with a reactionary government, we're still a semi-constitutional monarchy, which the hardcore reactionaries and royalists won't like - they'd want an absolute monarchy. And since our militancy climbed really high by the end of the update, those reactionaries were able to rise up in force. It would probably make more sense for liberal revolutionaries to rise up instead, but vicky rebels don't make sense a lot of the time, so

Eh, we'll get more chances at Qattalun, but Palermo was an oppertunity. The Royalists did great! Told ya the Moderates took too long. Hopefully the Germans will unify soon, perhaps if we ally them we might be able to also bring in the Russians somehow? We don't need Africa, but if it's so important can't we just steal it from someone else later? New England should just get a single war where they can take over all of Neimni Sund in one go already. rarx fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Jul 16, 2018 |

That actually went really well, considering the circumstances. But if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. France delenda est. The DM-Morocco alliance only magnifies our need to bring Benin into the fold. If they can pose a credible threat to Morocco's southern border then there is hope. But for real gently caress France.

All I wanted for Al Andalus was to reunify Iberia before we gently caress around with colonies again. I don’t know when our next opportunity is going to come now that France decided to backstab us. Speaking of the traitors, did we ever call them to join our war? I was confused why none of our allies came to assist us in our righteous conflict to reclaim our cores.

Are there any other weak countries like Palermo we can make subjects while we wait for a crisis to break out (we should not take sides so we can attack on the side)? We need to keep gathering power.

We had the ability to tech up quickly because the moderates gave us decades of building up our literacy, education efficiency and RP generation. The royalists did do well though, I'd be happy for imperialists after this since we're never going to get a real victory over Morocco without a navy. Anyway we just need to make sure we become BFFs with whoever unifies Germany and we're good, I hope there's some way to split up the DM again because gently caress those guys.

Morrow posted:Can we do colonies now? Nah we've researched zero navy techs so by the time we have the techs/botes/naval bases to do colonies Morocco will have already eaten the entire continent of Africa. E: This is assuming that the game is unmodded and the Scramble for Africa starts in 1870 like in Vanilla and that naval bases take 3 years per upgrade like Vanilla and colonial points come from botes like Vanilla. If it's been modded to push the Scramble back to 1880 or 1890 like some mods I know of do, then we've got plenty of time. But I think it's just Vanilla, so
