Wow, I totally forgot that this was going to be a thing and I was sad that the Suebi got annexed because it meant no more Wiz LP for a while; but I suppose it's actually been quite some time since Crete finished so hooray! V V

I wish CK had a bigger palette for state colours, it's not like it's exactly uncommon to have 2/3 bordering each other with the same colour.

Is Burgundy really going to be that powerful in conversion, I seem to recall that the southeastern part of France doesn't exactly have the best provinces. You could always split off some vassals so they at least take a few years to work their way to the top of the heap within the Empire.

Yes 4) Did the megafauna in Australia/New Zealand survive human migration into the continent? Yes 5) Did Sundiata Keita die in exile? No

skipThings posted:So, the silly flag is the reason ? Fair enough People generally love: 1. Tiny countries that can never amount to anything 2. Historically accurate province borders, gameplay be damned! (see: those provinces in MEIOU split into 3/4 pieces) 3. Hilarious flags Thus, Mann has quite a broad pool of support.

Early Mughals would have been pretty neat but depending on what Timur's steppe empire looks like it might be interesting (and it gives the Hindus a chance to stand up for themselves for a change)

I just used the lion because it was Geoffrey Plantagenet's sigil but I'm so far off historical course I might as well go the full monty. Nice idea but this is basically the CoA of Lithuania so you'll have to go for one of the other colour combos

It's kind of funny how Burgundy would have had something like 8 fewer provinces with the pre-DW map. Switzerland and NW Italy got an rear end ton more provinces (though IIRC they mostly went from being really high to middling-low tax so it's not as unbalanced as it sounds)

Have you changed any tax/manpower values around? The vanilla values are insane, Paris has about as much manpower as all of SE Asia combined. Would also be nice to see vassal states, religions and extraterritorial cores if you're going to make more maps.

Throw in that mapmod which converts the game to the V2 map and I'll die a happy man.

theblastizard posted:Nations in Anatolia without controlling the whole thing seem to always be paper tigers. Unless Wiz did something the provinces in Anatolia are total rear end apart from the westernmost coastal ones. A lot of base tax 3/4 and low manpower. Armenia probably has most of the really lovely provinces. They have enough to not be a total pushover but I'd expect Nicaea to be a lot stronger.

The AI is functionally retarded and will stand an 11k army in an occupied province while the other guy sieges 2 provinces next to it with 3k men each, so unless one side has at least ~25k men you'll often see these kind of silly situations.

A lot of Persia and Iraq is very wealthy and would give us naval access to the east. Persia is also probably our strongest natural rival at the moment (apart from Muscovy, but they're our allies currently...) so we should at least keep an eye on them.

If I'm playing in that part of the world I usually just conquer everything up to Cairo and sell all the tax 1 provinces in Egypt to a vassal. Then you're only stuck with a few really poo poo provinces and it's well worth it for holy cities / Cairo / Alexandria / Syria.

A is an outrageously horrible choice at the moment, what the gently caress is wrong with people Voting B as the 'not-A' alternative, even though C is clearly the best idea (if Russia declares on us it's going to be expensive as gently caress).

I'll guess here - they have a bunch of military NIs and maybe a +forcelimits adviser and the AI almost always builds up to (and usually a bit over) its forcelimits even if it has to mint a lot to do so. They also might have a lot of vassals, since that gives forcelimit now.

SRI has an option to get cores on diploannex, I'm sure it would be easy to adapt it to fit whatever you want. There's also events where your vassals willingly choose to become annexed.

Though I think A would be the best choice RIGHT NOW (helping us get out of the manpower hole), B is basically going to make the average general in the next war have 3 or 4 more stat dots which is massive. For those totally discounting A, it's worth noting that more manpower = bigger pool and faster regen rate. The way some people have been discussing it makes it sound like it only increases how much manpower you can have total. I'd totally go for National Conscripts for the next idea.

Persia is a great ally, assuming they stay allied to us they make everything to the south entirely safe, they can assist in wars with Armenia (hopefully without taking any of the spoils) and they'll probably even end up with a Central Asian border with Russia eventually. Of course it would have been better if we'd been able to prevent them from becoming so strong in the first place but given the current situation we need to ally with one of our three large neighbours and Persia is the only one that's even Muslim (and also the one we've historically had the least conflict with).
