Looking forward to this. Also, can anyone suggest any mods that make colonisation a bit less expensive etc. I remember in my last game as Castille (sp?  )that I colonised a big chunk of America and the African coast, then when I went to war with England to crush their colonial expansions, I was like 10 tech behind on land and sea because of all the money I'd been spending on Colonies It did not go well!

I had my first ever forming of the UK in my current game. Also facing a full France which is mean. I totally made Spain and annexed Portugal though. Now I just have to figure out how to stop France from conquering me with his 200 troop divisions (likely solution - 300 divisions. Or remember that I have naval superiority so I can drop armies in his back lands and cut his manpower to pieces)

Woo, educational LPs. I also originally thought that a 'pitched' battle was an intense one. It meaning a set up battle makes sense sort of though, at least when you combine it with pitch as in 'pitch a tent'. News is singular in Australian English too, so presumably it is everywhere. I've always thought of a moral victory to be independent of victory on the battlefield. it being more about being morally right than militarily.

 A Grand army will give us the men and the weapons for victory versus Armenia. In the last war Armenia was able to beat us with their stronger armour. We have opened up trade with the finest artisians in the east, let us further support our smiths as they gird our troops for their glorious march for victory. Siege strength matters for naught when there is no force that can stop your troops.

I feel there needs to be a Wizmod for "Become Byzantium" Effects: You lose cores on all provinces except Thrace. Revolt risk boosted by 100% in all non-cored provinces for 1 month. Units become tribal (to simulate Roman legions as opposed to more modern troops)

YeOldeButchere posted:I feel like this would probably be the most argued over part of the mod by Paradox posters. The ones that are actually arguing, that is. Then again perhaps EU: Rome has left them with a sour enough taste they wouldn't be won over. I would like to think that by 1400 troops are significantly better than Roman Legions were! Though the idea of Paradox forumers taking the mod seriously amuses me. As for the Omany colonist, I guess they had a costal trade province or a horde trying to give them hugs.

 The conflict with Russia is currently merely one of words. With a full Cabaret we can ensure that it does not become anything more. After all, Azerbaijan cannot tolerate anything if our lands are held by the Russians! Edit: Or at least allow us to get a league of allies with which to oppose them. Azerbaijan cannot stand alone against the Russian threat!

Eiba posted:Well, at this point we've already established a national character, a simple value, and people are pointing that accepted value as the reason for their vote. It's true that tolerance is important to our brave nation, but as the wars with Armenia showed us we must be more than just tolerant. Our relations with Morocco have soured due to the callousness of one of our Sultans. They once called the Azeri Sultans their own, but now they are separate from us. Our agents tell us that our former ally Russia now considers war against us. Through the creation of a cabinet to aid our Sultan, we can mend these shattered bridges, or more easily find allies with which to weather the storm. And beyond that, our diplomats can spread the Azeri spirit of tolerance beyond our borders, to make sure our neighbours tolerate US.

Darth Windu posted:That is an odd thing to dislike. How else would you prefer people justify their vote? None of the choices are based on current events - a military choice would be available if so, because Russia gaining an Attack Azerbaijan mission is a huge red flag. But if it is gamey to vote based on a theme that has emerged for this particular LP - multiculturalism, liberalism, whatever - then it is doubly so to vote based on the mission that Russia has drawn. Even without knowing their mission, they just broke military access, which you usually only do when you're planing a war. Plus the mission doesn't even need spies to view, so I assume it's fairly common knowledge among our diplomats and government.

If Russia hadn't been big or scary B or C would've been better. As it was though, the Russian threat puts international issues at the forefront of our decisions. And with our less militant sultan, well.

The Narrator posted:As far as I know, there are no female advisors in EU3, so that's that out. And I'm willing to guess that Muslim countries by default lack any female ruler names. If you could make a national decision on the idea of gender equality (which is pretty ahistorical for a 17th century Muslim power at that), it wouldn't have much of an effect in a non-narrative fashion except for a few bonuses. I can't even think of a few likely bonuses gender equality would have off the top of my head. I guess you'd do something with production efficiency and trade income. But maybe some revolt risk. The only female monarch I can think of is Isabella of Castielle at the start I think. other than that it's wall to wall sausages.
