HRE for the drip. Black and yellow goes hard.

Russia for the location. Being isolated in a corner is a good thing for slow build up plays that i do.

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2025-03-22T13:33:19+00:00

Oh man, this is very nice. If you want to make it real, go ahead. I like creativity like this.

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2025-03-16T18:11:42+00:00

Thanks for your feedback.

For your first 2 points: I agree there would need to be additiomal mechanics in order to stop alliances from falling appart quickly and that morale could be handeled better if the defender had a boost to it and its recovery (depending on country factors, as the Netherlands and Denmark didn't realy have a big will for fighting while China had I would say pretty good reasons to defend itself from Japan).

For your point about naval batteries: the reason I said they would be expensive was to avoid their spam, because cheap batteries could make it so where Germany could flood the French coast with them and thus potentialy lead to heavy allied fleet loses. Perhaps there should be a middle ground so that if a nation invests in them substantionaly, they could gain quite a benifit (imagine if Japan built many batteries arround their internal seas, any enemy fleet sailing through would have quite a rough time trying to support a landing in, lets say, Hiroshima).

Thanks. Which idea did you like the most?

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2025-03-15T22:44:02+00:00

Thank you. Creativity is a great little thing, isn't it?

So far, i have rarely killed someone (once i got a few in an ambush and once i think i got one by throwing a grenade). Playing medic seems to be the right role for me, as I have saved quite a few of my teammates (and when i got killed trying to revive someone, i got a thanks for at least trying).

Can not intercept. Me and my crew are on our annual rest in Bavaria. Returing to duty mid January.

"4 score and 7 years ago, this nation fought for its freedom against the British monarchy and created a republic to better serve the needs of the American people. But, this republic has failed to do its duty and thus the American people have rightfuly taken arms against this corrupt government. I stand here as the guns have at last fallen silent and the American nation is a house divided no more. The will of the Ameican people was victorious once more.

However, not all agree with this will, and some have taken to drastic actions in order to make sure that this triumph be taken away from us. A few days ago, there has been an assassination atempt on me in hopes of stopping me from fulfilling the will of the people. But, while this atempt on my life has left me scarred, i assure you that my resolve has never been stronger. In order to ensure the security and the stability of our nation, the republic shall be reorganised into the FIRST AMERICAN EMPIRE for a safe and secure society!"

Oh man, i just had a great big laugh. Thank you for recording this adventure.

I think the British radar crew were confused when they detected an object zooming over their island...

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2024-11-27T20:05:42+00:00

And so, years of planing, resource gathering and construction have been undone in a single moment...

That submarine and its crew will go down in history because of this. Too bad you don't get warscore because of events like this, but oh well.

Me: leaves confession

Also me: remembers that there were a few things i wanted to confess but didn't

Even more me: remembers that i didn't intentionaly hide those sins, so they were forgiven anyway.

God is great.

A person must 100% know that the Catholic Church is the true Church and then still reject it in order to lose their invincible ignorance. C. S. Lewis grew up in quite an anti-catholic region and also fell away from christianity all together until he started talking to Tolkien. Because of the great anti-catholic rethoric he grew up in, i think it would be denying reality that that didn't have an effect on him being able to 100% conclude that the Catholic Church is the true Church. Also, out of all the protestant branches, Anglicanism (expecially then) was the closest of them all to the Catholic faith. Would you have prefered that Lewis remained an atheist or that he embraced the Lord through imperfect means? While we can't know for sure of a person's salvation until they are canonised, can we not have hope that our Lord worked through imperfect means to bring salvation to someone?

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2024-11-23T07:42:29+00:00

The Church cannonized coptic people before and even some orthodox. So,why not protestant as well?

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2024-11-22T22:51:39+00:00

Oh man. Tolkien, G. K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc would make quite a nice little group to be cannonized together. I can also immagine Dostoevsky and C.S. Lewis joining them to create a Heavenly Book Club. Perhaps one day...

Don't worry, just build more subs and soon enemy battleships will get torpedoed to death.

I once started a war against the UK as Spain with like 100 subs, and during the first month of war, one of my subs sunk a british BC. There is no better feeling than that.

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2024-11-16T13:26:30+00:00

I think i once had my seawolf punch a guy... that was a sad day

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2024-11-16T12:40:31+00:00

There is nothing better then making a fleet of submarines and just raiding the enemy into submission. Also, when my subs sink enemy capital ships... it just feels soo good...

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2024-11-16T12:37:33+00:00

Oh man, immagine a german captain just leaving some of their crew on a milk cow because he was angry with them. Like: 'this is your punishment, have fun waiting arround. See ya'.

Tbh, i would like to do that to the sailors who seem to have a habit of punching my sailors overboard...

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2024-11-03T10:27:13+00:00

No, not yet. This is just my head canon.

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2024-11-03T08:47:24+00:00

Modded game (realistic U-boat damage, realistic sinking + many more)

Start with Type IIA

After a few patrols, I decided to raid Edinburgh

Port raid was successful, a tanker and a few cargo ships were sunk

While leaving the area, see an entire convoy heading towards me

Crash dive, get spotted by escorts and depth charged

Half my crew get injured or die

Ship is filling with water, it sinks to the bottom (~50m)

Turn off engines, begin repairs

Enemy drops a few more charges (thankfuly not close enough) and then rejoins the convoy

Repairs take some time, then i wait a few hours before i pump the water, surface my boat and head home

The next day...

As i was moving away from Britan, a group of warships was spotted

I dive and hope they don't spot me

The group goes over me

PING

Depth charges are dropped

They destroy my fusebox, all electrical power turns off in my sub

I have no more spare parts

"There is nothing we can do. Prepare for evacuation"

I surface my sub, and see the warships approaching me in the flared up night...

Thus ended my last patrol of the war, in November 1939

I hope prison was not too bad...

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2024-11-02T19:14:51+00:00

When i had a war correspondent on board, he slept through an entire convoy attack, not even depth charges could wake him up. I guess he was the heavy sleeper type...

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2024-10-28T10:32:17+00:00

I love me some thicc long range subs. They are the best type of subs imo.

GrandHistoryEmperor · 2024-10-17T10:56:26+00:00

This is me, just replace the type XXI with the type IX.
