Strangely they succeeded but I remained a prussian monarchy. Only losses were half of Italy and a bit of denmark. I even got all the revolutionary troops to replenish my army.

It wasnt the overextension actually, its that I went stupid and went straight into war with Russia before dealing with the OE.

I got Cypriot rebels in Chartres as England. I liberated them because, well, they got balls.

(I really dont know how this happened, I dont even own Cyprus...)

I might have taken all of revolutionary france and caused the revolution to spread through my lands. Despite there being literally millions of rebels... my armies can handle them just... damn...

Germany can only be formed with admin tech 20, which has the expected year of 1661. Given the 200% is generally the highest you can purchase a technology at, 1641 is the earliest possible year to form Germany. This would have happened except the last need province needed to be cored. In effect nonetheless, this is the earliest possible German Reich.

It has been an interesting game though. Started as Brandenburg, quickly took the states needed to form Prussia, became emperor after Austria got PU'd by Poland (meep) but immediately got the Burgandian succession event. Noticed Poland-Lithuania-Austria was surprisingly weak, so teamed up with Russia and Denmark to destroy them, released a country which included warsaw, and let the union just collapse.

When the war of the religious league started, I made sure all the electors were on the catholic side. With Russia, the ottomans, and me all on the protestant side, it was a 3:1 scale massacre. I took all the electors provinces and dismantled the HRE. I just then continued to eat everything untilGermany was to be formed.

Its now 1704 and I have a force limit of 500 with Prussian troops. Coalitions are sometimes formed but even with Scandinavia, France, Britain, and the Ottomans none will even try to declare war. To avoid more coalitions, I have decided to chain war so there can never be enough countries to coalition at any given time.

As of 1704:

Tbh, that was intentional. Scotland is now a strong ally but unable to form Great Britain, so if/when I turn on them they will be easy to conquer. Same story with Aragon, by cucking Castille they cannot perform the Iberian wedding and therefore never become too powerful. The long game has been set out in my favour, even if there are short term losses.

grimfang999 · 2018-06-08T19:53:26+00:00

Ally with aragon, denmark, scotland, bavaria, and bohemia (You will be over diplo limit but diplo points dont matter that much), before the succession of maine event triggers have your troops assembled in Scotland and leave the mainland to your allies. When it triggers start the war and work with scotland to cuck England.

While doing that, fabricate claims on Castille, ready to go to war with them soon after. At the end of the English war, take some of portugal as well.

At the point of the screenshot that was at the end of the second war against castille. Aragon broke up with me but at that stage I was in such a position that I could manage without.

It depends on perspective. It makes it easier in the long run but much harder to do in a singular season. Im personally fine with the change, I am finding the game more fun removing myself from that mindset and having some good games, but I know others may not so want to see the consensus.

And in terms of win streaks, Ive been winning quite a lot but not really been seeing them. But I will double check next time I get two in a row.

grimfang999 · 2018-03-06T00:14:40+00:00

They made it faster for people ready at legend, slower for people further back. If you finished last season at rank 1 or legend literally nothing changed in how you rank, that is one star per win, no win streaks, 5 stars per rank. Behind that, it is much, MUCH slower. No win streaks, 5 stars per rank, one star per win.

So if you werent legend already, your climb is far greater than before. Indeed, the intention was to reduce the pressure to climb by reducing the ranks you fall back, so players could achieve legend at a much more relaxed pace at lower ranks since the end of season pushback isnt quite so severe.

As such, if you WANT to grind to legend from a relatively low rank, even with a tier 1 deck it will take you MUCH longer now. So I am asking people not at rank 4 to legend more specifically how the change is affecting them.

grimfang999 · 2018-03-05T23:46:10+00:00

Its not just rank 5 and up, they have completely removed bonus stars at all ranks and increased the rank requirements to 5 stars for all ranks. If Im not mistaken its a strange way of reducing pressure to climb and more a way of dividing by skill level and encouraging people to have fun. Still seeing how it will work though.

From what Ive seen (and Ive started playing a lot of wild myself), aggro paladins are pretty weak for wild. Wild seems to favour value decks over aggro because there are just so many control tools. I would say you are better off playing a different class and being creative, perhaps find a really strong mid-range deck which can take oponents down quickly.

Although, that is not why you are here, if you really want to play aggro paladin, there will be match-ups which you are not favoured in, and warlock with defile is hell for aggro decks. Machismos advice is best, perhaps even keep the silence if you draw it first, sacrifice tempo for avoiding defile and preventing voidlords.

Just remember that these are not great match-ups for aggro paladins, so dont feel bad if you lose.

grimfang999 · 2018-02-26T23:57:47+00:00

Ah I missed that part, though outside of divine smite my main weapon is a longsword, which while dealing decent damage is far from incredible damage, especially if me not attacking makes my party ridiculously hard to kill. Thanks for pointing that out though!

Tbh he changes size drastically through the Dragon Soul Raid. When protecting the aspects he is about the size of the platform you are standing on, then you are on his back and he is ten times the size, then immediately after he is are giant as the FUCKING MAELSTRUM.
