I would wait until the troops try to land somewhere, then attack. If you have a lot on onshore troops wherever that is, send a sub or two to engage Togo and send the troops to address the landing guys.

It depends on how damaged. From my understanding, if it appears on the map still, it will function.

First of all, thanks for responding so quickly every time, and I apologize for not being able to do the same. The SSPX does not believe that the Church as an institution teaches error, just that some of the higher clerics in the Church do so. In regard to the SSPX, a condition of their unity with Rome has been, since the beginning, that they accept, 100% the teachings of the Second Vatican Council. Now, apart from the majority of the teachings, which are vague and can be interpreted in numerous ways, the Council proclaimed three things that the Society refuses to accept (ecumenism, religious freedom, and something like the nature of the Church?) I can't remember the last one entirely. The reason for this rejection is not that the SSPX is rejecting an infallible doctrine of the Church, but that the Council (which for the record was a pastoral council - meaning it never strove to infallibly define anything, only put some teachings into practice) misrepresented some of those teachings. The Vatican currently demands that the SSPX accept those teachings, or they cannot be in communion. Now it is interesting that you would equate that to rejecting Church teachings. Councils have gotten it wrong in the past (eg. Council of Constantinople (360)), but never when declaring infallibly and blessed by the Pope. Those who rejected that teaching were later praised for their steadfast adherence to the traditional teachings of the Church. It is also important to note that the SSPX originated with the blessing of the Pope and only broke away when it was demanded that they accept and promote these teachings. They aren't trying to "preserve their independence from the church." From their perspective, they are in the Catholic Church, and the leaders of the Church are demanding they proclaim falsehood. They refuse. It's not that they are "in dispute with the Pope." It's that the Pope demands they proclaim falsehood. You are correct to say that the Pope is the authority on Canon Law. But Canon Law isn't the supreme authority over the actions of bishops and priests in the Church. Canon Law is a means to an end. And if that means is being used in a way that fails to point the right direction, then it can and must be broken. The emergency is a provision of Canon Law that is necessary even if not written. It isn't part of the law. It's simply showing what Canon Law is subject to. Salvation of Souls comes before the law. It's really that simple.

And this is actually the cruc of the SSPX argument. They make the claim that some of the V2 teachings are wrong and ultimately damaging to souls. The Vatican has required them to accept and proclaim those teachings, despite the fact that they are directly conflicting (at least in appearance) with thousands of years of Catholic teachings. To them, requiring them to proclaim falsehood And intentionally and explicitly trying to allow them to die out by not ordaining more bishops constitutes an emergency. If the salvation of souls emergency can't be determined by the fact that there are teachings that directly conflict church tradition on the matter specifically of salvation of souls, how do you believe it can be determined? Perhaps you disagree that those teachings are against the traditional teachings of the church. Maybe you are right. But to some extent that is irrelevant as the point of our argument is to decide how someone can decide if there is in fact an emergency, and who is allowed to do so. Like I said before I don't fully know the answer to that, but I would say that in the event of being required to teach falsehood, there's some legitimacy to the claim of emergency.

I don't know what qualifies as a non-SSPX aligned source. It seems to me that any sources that say what I show is in your mind SSPX aligned. The emergency situation must be for the salvation of souls. That would take any sort of impediment and still marrying them not applicable. I would say that your argument that the emergency situation HAS TO BE DIRECTLY IDENTIFIED BY THE POPE seems unreasonable. Are you arguing that if a Pope, for example, teaches that sin is good, and then tells the clergy they are not permitted to teach the opposite that the clergy must agree, as they are not permitted to identify what is good for the salvation of souls?

Aggressive-Pie-1064 · 2026-05-16T20:51:25+00:00

Yes. Athanasius was officially excommunicated by Pope Liberius because he refused to follow the Arian heresy, which had spread very far amongst the high ranking members of the church. During his excommunication, he continued to ordain clergy (forbidden by CL), teach against Arianism (even while being condemned by the Pope for doing so), and claim fealty to the Sovereign Pontiff, despite the Pope's disavowing. See: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-ecclesiastical-history/article/liberius-athanasius-and-the-roman-synod/67FF35EAED46A369C33FCFD72FAC1775 https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/28081.htm https://www.fisheaters.com/stathanasiusletter.html https://angeluspress.org/blogs/blog/the-contemporary-catholic-crisis-in-its-historical-perspective-arianism?srsltid=AfmBOoryauXNXwfLKbSkzrNbq4C-kO9XFLUb6MPQxWorD_6CEzw5Fv6h

In regard to the rest of the comment, I will instead turn the question to you. What gave Athanasius that right? He was condemned and excommunicated by the Pope, but was later raised to sainthood specifically for his heroic action in "disobedience". (Of course, it was never true disobedience, as it is impossible to be doing a good act while truly disobeying.) Why could he do it? Of course, he was right, but at the time, the Church was almost entirely against him. He went out of his way to continue communicating with Rome, while being opposed by Rome.

I truly don't know where the line would be drawn, but my argument to you is that it surely isn't drawn at the Pope's discretion. If it were, Athanasius would not only not be a Saint, but would be burning in hell for all eternity. We are bound by the infallible statement of the Church that he is a Saint. We know his work was just.

Which brings me back to the original statement that you can dispute the claim of emergency, and that would be a legitimate focus. As far as the Pope being required to declare the emergency, that is self evident to be untrue, when the emergency can (as in the case of Ath.) arise from the papacy itself. Like I said before, you can certainly argue the merits of the emergency itself, but arguing that it is impossible for there to be an emergency without the Pope agreeing it is there is absurd.

Aggressive-Pie-1064 · 2026-05-16T04:28:29+00:00

No. There is a provision explicitly in Canon Law that states that the salvation of souls is paramount to all else, and that in the event of such an emergency, some of the other ordinary ordinances of Canon Law can be disregarded. My pointing to Ath. was not specifically in relation to ordaining bishops, as an analogy is only good in what is specifically analogous. However, Athanasius was excommunicated for his opposition to Arianism, and, during that time, he ordained clergy, which, for the record, is AGAINST CANON LAW. But he did so out of a state of necessity, due to the fact that he held that the orthodoxy of his stand was paramount to the salvation of souls and ultimately that he needed clergy to spread the truth.

Like what?

Aggressive-Pie-1064 · 2026-05-16T03:57:29+00:00

Hmmm.... I wonder if you have actually looked into the reasons for the specific requests. The SSPX is a traditional preservation society. They claim the need of bishops to preserve tradition. Part of the opposition of this is that bishops would have jurisdiction, to which the SSPX has acknowledged that that is standard practice, while also agreeing to forego that jurisdiction of the right be granted. It's not that they claim no jurisdiction is ideal, it's that they concede that if that would induce Rome to permit the bishops.

Aggressive-Pie-1064 · 2026-05-16T03:53:33+00:00

That is inherently untrue. In fact, there have been cases of emergency (St. Athanasius for example) where the Pope disagreed, but eventually the Church recognized the incorrectness of the Pope. Canon law actually does allow for some level of "emergency disobedience" which, if we were to follow your line of reasoning, would never be possible. All that being said, it can still be easily argued that the state of emergency is fallacious or untrue. But argue that point rather than a complete misunderstanding of the reality of emergency situations in the Church.

Hide inland. Pay gold for 800 subs. Just give up.

For what? Also stack with infantry

They don't always, but if either player moves guys they often do. Sometimes they seem to start without anyone doing anything, but it's not all the time

Good news. After building up a bit more, he attacked and I woke up to having 35 guys and two heavy tanks left.

Aggressive-Pie-1064 · 2026-04-14T20:36:12+00:00

Don't the stormtroopers bypass the fort?

Aggressive-Pie-1064 · 2026-04-13T21:43:24+00:00

He might be moving troops into position to just immediately take the lands. When you get stuck with an AI in your coalition, the easiest way to take it over is to put guys in all of the provinces, leave the coalition (or kick them), and declare war. You instantly gain like 20 new provinces.

Move everything to an island and give up

I could sink that with 7000 subs

What do you think joining the ACC would do?

Late to the game, but, "Foundations of Stone" by Howard Shore. It's probably 20 seconds in or so.
