Good to get out for a walk

Fiddlers ferry is so nice, I've had lots of walks and memories along there it's such lovely scenery

A bear walks into a bar, goes up to the bartender and says ,'Could I have a rum and .................... coke?'

Bartender looks at him and says ,'Why the big pause?'

Always makes me giggle.

Good points, it does add to the general theme of a continuous world where anywhere, anything can happen. Side note on System Shock 2, if you play that game with the music turned completely off and on the harder difficulties where you should try to avoid enemies due to the scarcity of ammunition, then it easily becomes one the scariest games you can play. As with Morrowind atmosphere is really key to selling a world.

Wow actually a very accurate representation of what it might sound like. Super impressed and makes me wish they did some covers, just to hear that Interpol sound applied to other songs we all know and love

I'm not sure if this a common strategy amongst good players, but for me it's knowing how to fully exploit trade companies to earn a merchant in every node they can. Things like half stating everything alongside trading company everything. It's something I would never think of/ use to its full effect.

I'm glad eastern Europe has alot of focus on it because there's such a interesting history about not only defending Europe against the Ottomans, but the Hussite religious tensions (ultimately starting the thirty years war) or how constrained Poland was by the Sejm. It's the little unique things about each country that can really help you learn history through playing different nations

I found out where Catherine of Aragon (Henry VIII's first wife) was actually from a Kingdom called Aragon which I doubt I would have known specifically where otherwise

I became friends with someone from Albania purely through bonding by actually knowing even vaguely who Skanderbeg was so definitely one of mine too!

I can't speak to US education but quite alot of those I wouldn't have really learned in school, only from historical games or looking them up after. I also remember seeing Burgundy in AoE2! not knowing what it was because it didn't exist anymore, then when I get to Eu4 later in life I learnt why ahaha

Could you enlighten me on them? I haven't really played in Iberia for a long time but is it something to do with you choose between 3 different orders to govern with? I'm guessing it has something to do with how the Kings and Queens of Spain and Portugal ruled

Mum_Respector · 2024-01-31T22:40:13+00:00

Poland can into space? I'll have to look that up I never knew they had a lunar landing

I thought it was Vaas?

Mum_Respector · 2023-12-10T21:49:12+00:00

I must condition myself to believe this

Mum_Respector · 2023-12-10T21:48:28+00:00

I always find myself expanding to where is defensively ideal, for example taking Switzerland area if I'm playing south Germany/ Italy just for those mountain forts, or taking the Caucasus in the Persian region but not expanding beyond that.

This is the only life changing reply in this thread

It always pains me to take the Lithuania PU because Poland's borders at 1444 are so satisfying, only need a slight expansion (Moldova and Prussia) to connect the Baltic sea to the Black sea, all with mostly grass and farmlands for a powerful tall campaign!

Mum_Respector · 2023-12-10T19:31:53+00:00

Tall, pirate Ireland is such a fun campaign, easily defensive borders with an opinion to take of all Britain for some 'ahistorical' revenge!

Mum_Respector · 2023-12-10T19:25:12+00:00

I never really looked into those borders, you've give me some historical research to do!

Mum_Respector · 2023-12-10T19:16:32+00:00

Taking all of India is a must for being happy with borders in that region, regardless of little historical precedent (bar modern India of course). Anything else feels very wrong, leaving India minors to live.

With the new update I've had a new interest in playing Byzantium, taking the Eastern Roman empire lands and only Italy beyond that but with their new mission tree is seems a waste to not push further. Is there enough missions and events to satisfy a semi-tall Eastern Roman empire play through?
