I would say neutral states, almost by definition, aren't a coalition.

Baby even when I'm dead and gone
You will always be my only one, my only one
When the night is calling
No matter who I become
You will always be my only one, my only one, my only one
When the night is calling



What makes a nation turn neutral? Lust for ducats? The Restoration of Rome? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

Kinda-sorta, but there's room for multiples. I was thinking of going full on senatorial LP right from the off, including voting for traits.

It sounds like something that'd be much more fun in theory than practise. I know I'm sure as hell not reading another 850 page LP.

To be fair though, 850 pages feels much less if you join the ride on page 1.

Agreed; I was in that madhouse from the first page (Religious Faction woo!) and it certainly surprised me it went for so goddamn long. That being said, I hope we set a small habitable planet limit if we go Stellaris- I've just finished my first game, and only because I set Habitable Planets at 25 % :gonk:

Admittedly I was speaking out of dread in respect to all the stories I've heard about how much of a clusterfuck Crete was. :V

Mod update: I'm working on implementing Byzantine ministers at present. Any work I do, of course, subject to changes by Rince if she so chooses. If you submitted somebody and have any particularly strong feelings on what role they'd fit best, as listed here, feel free to say. And, of course, we can mod in new minister types without too much trouble, although I don't know how much we can affect mechanically. Religion isn't reflected in HOI4, for example.

I just now finished reading through the LP, and it's been a brilliant ride. Also, it turns out I've been watching the mod take shape for a while now and didn't make the connection. Go figure. Guess I'll see how I can help out.

So TfV didn't completely nuke the mod, although we'll need to fix Canada probably and do general touching-up. Progress will probably be picking back up soon, and hopefully before long we'll have some stuff to report in here. This post mainly made for the sake of keeping the thread out of the archives admittedly.

I once had the idea of doing a large super mega Rome campaign with some Crete like elements. Starting from RTW1, Attila, CK2..... ect rest of the paradox line up. Only problem is I have never actually played Attila or Vic2 so I would have to get my chops up with those games before I could try to even mange it.

It'd add some suspense to the LP if we're not sure if you're good enough to survive one of the chapters, plus ineptitude provides fodder for narrative. I say go for it anyway.

It would make the end of Attila a lot more historical too, sparing you a lot of work for the CK2 conversion. As for V2, the game plays for itself most of the time anyway.
