[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;39685431]My plan in EvW is to play as Hungary/Bulgaria or other smaller nations.
Get a hold of how the systems in the game work, but still be able to fight if necessary.[/QUOTE]I'm going to play as France and attempt to hold on to Indochina [I]at all costs[/I] with the sweat and blood of German and Vietnamese [del]cannon fodder[/del] Legionnaires. Vive la France!
Also, has anyone made a CK2 mod for Caldera?
I'm thinking of playing as a French vassal with a coastline then building up a massive trade and colonial empire. Growing within France's sphere like a tumor, until one day I strike.
I tried getting into Victoria 2 and I had great fun figuring everything out, the mechanics are simply so deep. Then I decided to play EU3 for once, I bought it once but never got around playing it. That game just seems so easy compared to Vic 2 :v:
I don't know what my goal should be in Vic 2 so it's my least favourite game even though I have a grasp of the mechanic's.
In CK2, is there a way to stop people being mad and calling me a tyrant when I Imprison someone who has declared civil war on me? It's really pissing me off, he had the weakest claim ever, claimed half the country from under my nose and I'm the Tyrant when I lop his head off.

I did this once as Berry, and another time as Avignon(even though they aren't a vassal).
So fun to tear up the nation that shielded you.
Yet to play Victoria II(don't have it and I won't pirate it + I want a shiny icon for my ParadoxPlaza account).
I was going to colonize America.

I don't feel like it anymore.

Japan wtf are you doing.
I love how the Doges send you gifts of two hundred gold every month or two. Now I can raise three thousand men from my two counties because of all the money.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;39688007]Japan wtf are you doing.[/QUOTE]
Nothin' wrong with that. Taiwan is clearly the natural expansion of the Japanese home islands, after all
I'm more surprised that Japan ai unified at all!
Ok in my Scotland/GB game, it turns out that Argentina is uninhabited.
I was going to colonize Australia before this happened:

hlep
It reminds me of that sketch where the guy exploited peoples unawareness of geography.
North Korea was mainland Australia, South Korea was Tasmania :v:
Sobotnik, judging by the flag, Scotland formed Great Britain?
How does colonization work in EU3, I read about it but I am still quite confused. Do I actually have to build certain ships with explorers and conquistadores in order to discover terra icognito?

You have to build the ships to get there with the Explorers on board, the conquistadores are for going across the beige, unaccessable land. I think Terra icognito, like in the deserts, are just not even reachable.

Terra incognito is reachable, wastelands are not, if memory serves me right
Ah yes. I got them confused :v:

Haven't played EU3 in a while, so kinda forgot.

So I'm continuing my Grand Frisia game, I lost my older saves much farther ahead, but now I'm planning on reforming the HRE with a Dutch Aristocracy.
I can't claim HRE right now though; I need Grand Frisia to absorb more de jure territory beforehand. I'm planning on attacking HRE and just ending it in white peace so I can let my son have the claim.[/QUOTE]
I wish I could do that :v:

Many thanks, can I just load any ship with explorers or does it have to be a certain class? Is a simply cog enough?
I'd recommend getting at least 2 - 3 cogs incase one dies on the voyage and you lose your conquistador.
Personally I get 4 barques.
I have two to go explore, whilst another 2 sit in a port. When the explorer returns, swap them around and you have 2 fresh ships while the other 2 recover.
Grab as many military access treaties as possible too, so you can sit in other countries ports.
So something I just learned, in the new Vicy2 Expansion, country colours can change with government types if you so desire, this was shown off with Russia turning red when going Communist.

Goddamn Russians in Oklahoma.
Here is a Generic Communist Newspaper header for I'm guessing, non-Major countries

Holy shit that colonization menu. Such a farcry from Pride of Nation's.
Newspaper system is fully modifiable except for what types of stories are generated. So I'm guessing that means GFX, layout and what not.

In pre-expansion Vicy2 I used to get Russians and the British colonizing Oregon and Washington State, I have not seen that happen since I got AHD.

Did anyone notice the change to the navy thing? I guess this means we're going to have forcelimits now, not that it's a bad thing anyway.

I never thought I'd be so happy to see new sliders, omg
I'm kinda glad. The one reason why in a Zulu game I was able to expand was because I had a super built navy of like 200 ships.
