Oh my God, a Wiz LP I have a chance at participating in!  This is going to be great- the Hohenzollern LP was what made me start playing Paradox games in the first place, and was also the best narrative LP I've ever read. I can't wait to see where this one goes. Kavak fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Aug 5, 2011 |

If we get conquered, can we tag switch to whoever takes control of us? Because I can really see that happening.

I find that a lot of those problems were fixed in the Age of Colonialism mod- France's industry no longer goes completely insane, Britain has a sane-sized army, etc. I'm sure Wiz will create his own solutions.

The best way to deal with gavelkind, the way I see it, is to never have more than one king title. The land will be divided up with each generation, but they'll still be loyal to us (We get to keep playing as whoever gets the title of King/Sultan, right?)

Wiz posted:That makes sense from a game perspective, but not from the perspective of the dynasty that would obviously want to amass more kingdom titles and prestige, so I will still create any king titles I can. Alright, cool. Though if we expand north, it'll be a long time before we can declare ourselves King of Russia, if ever... I'll stop now.

Nakar posted:Basically either Desert terrain isn't properly modeling what most "desert" areas are like, in which case there should be a Wasteland terrain or something for truly inhospitable provinces, or else Paradox just believes the entire Muslim world is a sandy hellhole. Victoria 2 has plenty of grassland and plains in the region, so I think it's an older problem. I can't remember EU III's map right now.

It's too easy to make colonies, basically. I played a French Revolution scenario as Prussia and Africa was getting carved up by me, Hannover, Sardinia-Piedmont, the Papal States, Russia, etc.

Patter Song posted:I also think that the AI might have the same difficulty actually targeting Iceland as the player. Considering that it's only marginally on the map, it's literally difficult to click on Iceland, particularly if there's an ongoing Crusade. Also, it's expensive as hell to ship troops to Iceland even from the Faeroe Islands, let alone from somewhere in mainland Europe. The AI doesn't have any problems with the user interface, so I think it's just a issue of range and lack of value.

A Noble Republic is as close as your going to get. There's no government to model a King who rules for life with an elected replacement in vanilla EU III.

Glorious Arms- Azerbaijan's worst wars were generations ago. Her military tradition should be based on memories of those past glories. Patron of the Arts- The past century was one of quietly building Azerbaijan into a cultured and prosperous kingdom. Bureaucracy- Naturally, the machinery of the Azerbaijani state should be in excellent shape after decades of careful Najjar stewardship.

steinrokkan posted:Just out of curiosity - what would happen if the Papal State got annexed? I don't think that happened in any of my Paradox playthroughs, but considering our current Pope is quite weak and surrounded by united Italy, I like to think it's a possibility. There's an event that fires if the controller is Catholic that forces them to release the Papal States or suffer serious penalties. I can't remember if they become a vassal or not.
