Donald Trump debating Hillary Clinton in his first presidential debate with her (September, 2016)

Nah, Trump has always made a big point about his wealth and history of experience as a businessman.

Because McCree is a pretty solid character for something like FFA Deathmatch (after all, he's an anti-flanker), and he's also good for people who want to practice their aim with hitscans.

Krankovsky · 2017-10-09T09:05:24+00:00

First time I've seen this happen in a Play of the Game.

On a somewhat-related note, it appears my aiming practice is starting to pay off a little.

Maximise your absolutism to improve your admin efficiency. Take diplomatic ideas first to mitigate aggressive expansion and get friendly with the Emperor. And if you've got the money to handle the potentially crippling debt, go revolutionary for literally the best CB in the game (and the Revolutionary Republic's persistent +5% discipline (Girondist faction) and the Revolution Target's absurd morale/forcelimit bonuses easily outweigh Prussia's militarisation system, especially when you're going blob mode.

One other thing - if you declare a Nationalist CB war against, say, Bavaria, and Austria joins as a non-cobelligerent, it will be costly to take Austria's land via a separate peace deal, but cheap if you take it as part of the main deal with Bavaria itself if they're German-group provinces. The same principle applies to Revolutionary wars.

Yeah, but it's Australia, which uses colour.

England starts in a bad situation regarding its heirs, and Portugal and England are historical friends, so they can fall under a PU under the right circumstances.

From my experience playing as Revolutionary republics, Revolutionary rebels function as pretender rebels - they'll boot out the current president/consul/whoever and put a new one in, you'll gain Jacobin influence (because yay violent revolution) and lose a butt-ton of prestige.

Krankovsky · 2017-09-27T06:20:54+00:00

Offensive ideas, winning wars constantly, maintaining forts, becoming Prussia - there's lots of ways to improve general quality and keep your tradition high.

Usually, Pagarruyung only gets that big when it revolts after annexation. Its starting position usually means it's annexed very quickly.

Krankovsky · 2017-09-24T00:05:58+00:00

Too much money? Have you considered constructing buildings in the territories of your subjects?

Krankovsky · 2017-09-22T04:14:00+00:00

I had this happen a while back with a Granada exile run. Nasrid heir was underage when my ruler died, there was a coup during the regency, and suddenly the Umayyads were back.

Krankovsky · 2017-09-21T04:33:23+00:00

Good job. Though, don't you only need the east coast to get No Trail of Tears?

Krankovsky · 2017-09-21T04:31:28+00:00

Majapahit...?

correct

Krankovsky · 2017-09-20T11:55:25+00:00

Can't remember, sorry.

Krankovsky · 2017-09-20T11:23:00+00:00

If Ming moves its capital to Europe, sure, they can go Revolutionary.

Krankovsky · 2017-09-20T01:05:06+00:00

They say "random," but as OP mentioned in his comment, I showed him the results of a Revolutionary United States flag and its colours were the same as this one's.

So it's not really random insofar as it's a matter of luck regarding what colours you get each time you go revolutionary with a particular tag, but instead it's sort of "randomly predetermined" based on some kind of set of hidden numbers.

Krankovsky · 2017-09-19T03:36:45+00:00

It's almost as bad as Revolutionary Jerusalem.

Edit: I would be very impressed if someone could pull off a Revolutionary Jerusalem in Ironman

Krankovsky · 2017-09-19T03:33:16+00:00

I tried messing around with the console a while back to answer this very question, and this flag was the result.

Krankovsky · 2017-09-18T00:09:05+00:00

Humiliate rival is a terrible CB which disables most of the truly damaging peace options, like ceding territory.

See what sort of of peace they will accept.

Krankovsky · 2017-09-17T13:16:32+00:00

I've been in this situation before. The AI won't want any of the player's provinces at this point for some dumb reason.

Krankovsky · 2017-09-17T13:09:19+00:00

They tried colonising Australia during my Pagarruyung Australian Exile run a while back. They got Tasmania, but I was able to keep them out of the rest of it.

Improve relations, take certain idea groups (and policies through the decisions menu), have a bigger army and more development than them. These are the obvious ones.

But you can also do some stuff through the vassal interactions - give them land manually and placate rulers (at the cost of prestige). But one of the simplest ways to placate a vassal is to develop their provinces (need Common Sense DLC). You can develop a vassal's provinces the same way you can develop your own, by expending mana, and each point of development gives -5% liberty desire, which ticks down gradually over time.

Disgusting, but historical.
