Looking forward to reading it, Wiz.

And good call on reducing audience participation. Reading the Crete LP was fun, but the continual, sophistical, circular arguments in the Senate must've been a lot more fun to participate in than they were to read.

Loyalty of lords starts at 100, but can quickly deteriorate depending on personal traits, sovereign's skills, reputation etc. Appointing new counts should somewhat reduce the horrendous reputation Azerbaijan has, so hopefully they won't become a threat immediately.

Wiz already foreshadowed his death. This sultan is bred for war, peace will be the death of him.

I already did. This is our reputation AFTER handing out titles.

Oh crap. Well... I suppose that the King might have a "hunting accident" and leave the whole mess to his blameless son.

Speaking of which, how many kids does this guy have? If it's just the one, having him pull a General Patton might be the best route for everyone.

I'm afraid that if the king dies, we can look forward to getting the Realm duress event or some other form of civil war / secession chain. Besides, most of the remaining reputation would be inherited.

Then I guess we're down to Plan B, "Punch everyone until they shut the hell up".

It's a good plan. It's simple, elegant, and leaves nothing behind but the sweet scent of Brut.

Actually, European diseases killed more Ashanti soldiers than local diseases killed European soldiers :ssh:

Those diseases were ridiculously devastating to the natives of the New World, upwards of 90% of the population of the Americas was totally wiped out.

Edit: If that's modeled in-game, then the idea of actually playing a New World nation would be pretty sad. Unite North America under a massive tribal hegemony, see it destroyed by one Spanish sailor with a cough.

Crete was infighting and complaining and the gooniest goons that ever existed rolled into one annoying package. Even Wiz's excellent storytelling abilities weren't able to keep my interest over all the white noise.

Edit: But for content(and spelling corrections), I love this LP, and I'm excited to play the eventual Wizmod 2.0.

As someone who came to the thread late the biggest complaint that I had about Crete was that for a newcomer all of that text was both intimidating and nearly impossible to catch up with. That said, some of the stuff there was really funny, and watching the senators convince themselves that such a pants-on-head retarded idea like the infamous "WALLS ARE USELESS!!!" law was hilarious. And the mythos that built up around a group of childish, forever pointlessly bickering immortals was really great.

So I don't mind a little RPing on this thread, especially since Wiz is handling most of the major decisions and there's not really a chance for us to go full-Crete.

No, the absolute ugliest Nordic cross is the flag of Bornholm (a Danish isle). I would call it an eyesore, but I feel the equivalent Italian idiom "a punch in the eye" is more fitting:



Fortunately, at least according to Wikipedia, there exists an alternate version with a white border around the cross that avoids the puke-inducing clash.

Yeah, that's a color scheme that'd be hard to take when you have a hangover.

Now there's an effective threat. The only thing that could be worse is if we somehow got a bunch of ultra-nationalists from the Balkans to discuss history.

This... this would be a really cool thing.

How was the Native American population at this time? I don't know too much about early American history.

We'd more or less wiped them out or confined them to Indian Reservations by that time. It's a sad, shameful story.

Edit: Or more like 30-50 years from game date. There are still quite a few loose tribes and confederations of American Indians out there in 1800, but the really big European immigration boom kicks off in the first half of the 19th Century with another boom after the American Civil War (1865).

It doesn't go well for the native tribes.

By 1800? Nah. White folks had barely set foot in Kansas, for example.

I fast-forwarded to that sonofabitch Jackson in my head when I thought of the early-19th Century and American Indians.

I'm honestly kinda surprised that Grey Hunter hasn't gotten a giant :argh: as his avatar after all this time.
