I say we work towards eventually getting vassalized by Armenia, with which we become great allies and eventually turn into a peaceful, tolerant, democratic state that becomes a shining beacon of liberty for both the Christian and Muslim world.

Go Morroco, annex all of Africa in a great muslim empire! Also, the Golden Horde is looking pretty tasty right now, to make up for Georgia.

Can't we make this king a general in charge of a 1000 man army unit to speed up his demise?

Wait, did Egypt just Diplo Annex? ...Huh. So it looks like there's going to be a divide between Morocco and Egypt at north Africa. North India looks primed to form the Mughals. Central Asia is well under control. Things aren't looking too bad for Islam. Well, minus us. We're letting the team down.

Wiz, if you are roleplaying the rulers why haven't you added the "ruler personality" modifiers that are in some mods (originally from SRI, I think)? Taking their attitudes only from the attributes gives you a small pallete to work with, and it's not like there has never been an enthusiastic but utterly incompetent war monger.

I don't take it ONLY from attributes, but I might do this.

Look at the Ikko-Ikki go. The CoT in Hizen must be a big advantage for them. I hope they win, but it would probably be better if they took a while to do it. Also, with respect to poor Azerbaijan getting smacked around, the biggest problem isn't our NIs, it's the fact that Orthodox Armenia, Nicaea, and Thessalonika are all best buds, while the Shi'a states bicker.

Aerbaijan may benefit from severing alliances with all nations, living in splendid isolation for a little bit, and hoping that they themselves don't get attacked. May be a little too much like taking action for the current king, though.

The problem is that there isn't a problem at all. We're not actually in serious danger of being crushed (until we lose at least one more war), and even if we are, so what. We're following a story, not trying to win a game. And recent events make the story interesting, so they're fine. Or, if you don't like that, think of it this way: being reduced to a one-province minor will only make our eventual domination of the planet all the sweeter.

I have to say, most of the fun I am getting from this thread is from reading the other goons. I'm often the spaz in real life, so it's just funny from this end. Unless we go for some ridiculous votes (say, ally ourselves with Japan, help modernize them, and then decide to diplomatically drop them in favor of rural and divided China right before a world war), then I see great things for Azerbaijan in the future.

We shoulda picked Ecumenism. By the way, Sniper, can we just blanket assume that I'm going to be working down the list of sessions chronologically as long as nobody already claimed the next session in line? I like to do things in order. So claiming Session 2 now, and after I'm done Session 3 if nobody's picked up on that yet, and so on.

The Saurus, you are the absolute worst. Wiz, the LP is great and your dedication to roleplaying your rulers rather than gaming the system to do a world conquest is part of what makes it great.

I blame the major Islamic powers having the diplomatic and strategic sensibilities of a bunch of bickering neckbeards. But in all seriousness, I think Azerbaijan's choices have had far less diplomatic consequences than those of Syria or Egypt, who seem to insist on fighting unwinnable wars at every opportunity and dragging their allies down with them.

EU3 is the sort of game that if you are willing to do whatever it takes to win, you will at least be a regional power in 50 years. It is NOT a hard game. Its much more fun to follow a story, than a blob.
