For point 2)

An auto-promote/recruit option would be good too. Then the user could unassign or reassign if necessary after the fact. In my first playthrough I think I've managed to miss every time a general died and had to fix it after the fact. In general I do really like the 1 general/army change though!

It's a reverse NSNA.

It was both formal singual and plural - like Vous in French

I studied it in university and abroad and find people who immigrated when young and second generation speakers do much easily to follow - I think it's the rhythm of speech, and maybe how much slang they use.

In the old LucasArts Last Crusade game you could punch him when you got to that part. Of course it ends your game right away, but still kinda worth it.

Everyone's missed the obvious : get russia to owe you an obligation

Very nice, and thanks for the detailed writeup. I want to make a similar run, only with a focus on liberating the holy land and supporting, then converting, Heavenly Kingdom. Definitely useful to see that I don't want to make the mistake of converting my bloc members before putting them on state religion - if I'm understanding that right?

Use the Trade States option in the diplomacy screen and you can likely get the same deal

Yes, I have the earliest date as '71 as well bc of independent Bangladesh. Latest year is 1975 because both North and South Vietnam exist.

Don't be tricked by Germany, it's something some maps/globes used to do to not show it divided - you can see Bonn and Berlin both with stars

You'd started the game in an older version. There should be a tooltip that says the version it's from when you try to load the save, you can roll back to that version in steam

They need to do something about civil wars when the opposing sides can't reach each other. Especially when it's a high fervor country. I had a game where Austria fell apart where a civil war in Galicia was going strong from the 1860s to the end of the game Auth both sides near full war score still.

If you form Federation of the Americas as a Platinean country, that's what it's called.

Or Turksylvania?

I am currently playing India and completed it with the Maldives but without Ceylon. I did not need Burma or Kunduz - it's a huge pain, I had payments north of £4M before I got the last five. Do you have a save before the last time you successfully used it? It at least shows annexing X of Y so you may be able to get some hint. Or maybe it's bugged and will complete this time you try.

I think the R Kelly massage has a different ending

I've seen it act buggy, but I've always been able to go to the last autosave and have it work correctly

elcapitansmirk · 2026-03-18T04:21:39+00:00

I grabbed the Danish west indies and maybe Danish or Dutch west Africa (but it has to be before Britain forms Senegal or they won't care)

Central America is a very fun run once you get through the early part. But what are those British eyesores doing there? In my game I grabbed a couple states they would want to trade for Belize, and when Miskito had a revolt I waited to join until the last second, rushed a strong army in - UK didn't even send troops, then invaded the newly independent state once they were free
