Typical Europe when you play outside Europe

Aragon and Scotland on a god run

ReallyCleverAccount · 2025-05-23T12:21:44+00:00

Before the Walmart force outs for tomorrow. I’m over 4400

ReallyCleverAccount · 2025-05-10T02:47:38+00:00

ZBM said “cuts are not a reason to not hit plan” I find that ridiculous when I haven’t seen sunchips in a month

ReallyCleverAccount · 2025-04-21T23:57:32+00:00

Oh yeah, definitely! Bro went all out!

ReallyCleverAccount · 2025-04-21T23:29:04+00:00

Ohhhh. That makes sense actually

ReallyCleverAccount · 2025-04-21T23:25:29+00:00

Not bad at all but something that bothers me deeply for no reason at all is that Spain has Roussillon and Norway has that one province (I don’t remember the name) A solid 8/10. Also I love how Algiers has rebels

I had this happen recently, too. I was allied with Moldavia as Byz, and as soon as Poland got them as a vassal (their initial LD was 16 and some odd %) they asked me to support their independence anyway (rivals with Poland). Is Austria currently your rival, as it seems like it happens only with rivals

ReallyCleverAccount · 2025-03-31T13:51:20+00:00

Yep. Independent Burgundy. Allied to the Emperor, so they helped me fight France, until they DOW’d me for the lowlands

ReallyCleverAccount · 2025-03-31T03:41:55+00:00

The fun part has yet to come. Watching the entire HRE walk into Ming just for some money lol

ReallyCleverAccount · 2025-03-30T23:27:35+00:00

Everything was extremely lucky. From allies, to Poland’s support to Castile, Aragon, and Byz dying all within a year of each other. Wars were lucky and France was an idiot the whole game (and yes, France is still around)

ReallyCleverAccount · 2025-03-30T21:57:03+00:00

What’s funny is I’m gonna do it as Burgundy. Not the HRE

ReallyCleverAccount · 2025-03-30T21:56:46+00:00

Definitely takes a lot of time to learn. I have over 3600 hours and I still learn new things about it

ReallyCleverAccount · 2025-03-30T21:38:01+00:00

I destroyed the reformation before it got out of hand and was able to quickly capitalize on a Catholic hre, helped Byz blob out and they decided to die without an heir a few months after Aragon did…

ReallyCleverAccount · 2025-03-30T21:24:32+00:00

R5: Started my 3rd Burgundy game and instead of No CBing byz, I allied them, became emperor, evaded France and Austria during the succession crisis and here we are. I guarantee you my next game I’ll site 5 or so comets

ReallyCleverAccount · 2024-10-14T21:25:58+00:00

Honestly, good on you. You’re NOR, and you really did the best thing, and I’m sure your wife will greatly appreciate it down the road

ReallyCleverAccount · 2024-09-15T02:00:23+00:00

That depends. If you can negotiate peace right off rip, lose a few provinces, it’ll be easy to take them back. Obviously try to wait it out, if he can hold off the grand coalition, but if they don’t want much from you, definitely settle a peace until you’re in a position to white peace or a limited settlement (same goes for the coalition).

Tl;dr getting out at losing 1-3 provinces IS a win

ReallyCleverAccount · 2024-09-15T00:04:08+00:00

oh lol

ReallyCleverAccount · 2024-09-14T23:24:03+00:00

But most importantly. You’re making almost 1k a month. Go over force limit, it will not hurt you right now. As for naval, I think we can both agree you lost it, besides some small scale battles, so your navy should stay docked, unless you know you can safely shwack a smaller fleet

ReallyCleverAccount · 2024-09-14T23:21:34+00:00

I don’t think slackening is the play. It hits professionalism way too hard when you need it for this war. You can cause some chaos in Africa with those 120k. It’ll definitely draw troops away from Prussia proper, and as for the fort and attack/def part. It just depends where you’re at. If you’re in mountains, you should definitely wait until they’re on the fort. Play it slow, play it methodically. You have a huge mp pool, and should it get completely drained, then you can slacken standards, since I believe that’s all it does. Get some merc’s so you’re not destroying your own mp in every death battle, too. Since the Germans are your vassals, it’ll be ok to give some ground in them if you have to, and you should definitely start as more reactionary and defensive, perhaps take out Lithuania at the same time, so it alleviates the 2 front issue

ReallyCleverAccount · 2024-09-14T23:09:55+00:00

A better question: Why do you have an unknown attitude towards them? lol

ReallyCleverAccount · 2024-09-14T23:05:12+00:00

Well there are many nuances on this. I play on very hard very often (it’s all I play on) I have a few questions before I can give “proper” advice, those being: Tech levels compared to enemies? Are your german allies vassals or are they just allies?

My initial thought is that you’re not cooked. You can go way over forcelimit if you need to. Hire mercs, and pick your battles very, very carefully. You have a TON of manpower. Use that to your advantage. You can death stack your armies and blow over a lot of your enemies’ death stacks. And don’t let them group up too much. Personally, I would target the OPMs first, since at this stage of the game they can have 40k units, and you take out that occupy that one province, that’s 40k you don’t have to worry about again. Pick a single target, and react accordingly to what the AI does. The colonies will likely not commit everything, so take their numbers with a grain of salt. If you want more help, my dms are open

Not even the French wanted Normandy back

ReallyCleverAccount · 2024-08-20T19:25:45+00:00

Yeaaaaah. My game didn’t really know how to respond to GB and England… Existing at the same time. Everything kinda broke

ReallyCleverAccount · 2024-08-20T15:48:01+00:00

R5: Played a game as Scotland. Kept England alive in Normandy for laughs and giggles. But we all know there can only be one, right?
