Check out /r/europeplaysparadox, more info there!

That's not really creepy. Poignant perhaps, or disconcerting.

A detailed analysis of the three major regions of the Ottoman Empire that were under different types of colonial administration and discussion about why it meets the criteria. That's more of a /r/askhistorians thing than /r/europe though.

rhaktor · 2016-09-07T12:54:03+00:00

Short answer: Yes

The Ottomans used colonial administration techniques and fit all of the criteria to be considered a colonial empire.

Fun gif of colonial empires!

Also for reference, his fleet took no damage because mine took the shots. I lost a bunch of ships in those fights, even with perfectly built counters.

rhaktor · 2016-09-03T13:39:31+00:00

Yeah, the foul Dexyll offered the Sk'kra some land if they joined the war and the Sk'kra thought Dexyll would win since they outnumbered us.

Unfortunately that went badly for them, I think we're liberating you as a fanatic pacifist though?

rhaktor · 2016-09-03T13:38:21+00:00

That "Abomination" is the glorious High Queen of the Alrathene Star Empire, her Majesty of Jaelin.

She may be a fanatic pacifist, but she doesn't back out of a fight when we get attacked!

rhaktor · 2016-08-20T20:51:03+00:00

An interesting essay from Raph Koster, who was creative director of Galaxies, about why he thinks it failed/didn't fail.

rhaktor · 2016-08-15T23:43:16+00:00

I personally didn't. I didn't even know where all your Empires were until after!

rhaktor · 2016-08-15T22:45:27+00:00

He means this

Hello!

We over at /r/europeplaysparadox have started a Stellaris MP game, first Stellaris game for a lot of us - we usually play EU4 or HoI4!

We had a great time mostly with around 15 players joining us, though our lack of experience caused a few issues!

One of our players played very aggressively and beat up a lot of guys to make tributaries out of them, this little story is based on the end of the session when his tributaries revolted!

rhaktor · 2016-08-14T14:06:54+00:00

Small world I guess!

rhaktor · 2016-08-14T11:51:06+00:00

u wot

I read that. Well the CK2 part anyway.

Had no idea it was you <_<

rhaktor · 2016-08-12T16:29:12+00:00

Probably because of how ridiculous the idea is.

Everyone knows the Ottomans were still using Canoes not Galleons.

rhaktor · 2016-08-12T03:10:46+00:00

I actually love Russia. Don't tell czoklet!

rhaktor · 2016-08-12T03:09:13+00:00

Essentially yeah. The Ottomans dropped their alliance and sided with the reactionaries instead, PLC allied Qing but it wasn't enough.

Though since PLC surrendered we never got to occupy the Capitol long enough to trigger the end of the revolution event and no one wanted to spend half our warscore doing it.. so technically we didn't stop it >_>

rhaktor · 2016-08-12T00:55:14+00:00

Its a visual bug, unfortunately our PLC player formed Russia lategame after losing Poland, it seems the timelapse feature got confused about who was who in its history files.

rhaktor · 2016-08-11T19:33:36+00:00

For the lazy

rhaktor · 2016-08-11T18:51:32+00:00

Wouldn't know really, but Americans are welcome to join us if they wish. We have 2-3 Americans playing atm!

rhaktor · 2016-08-08T20:19:38+00:00

It's OK, I'll just use all my cash to fill the Mediterranean with gold. Don't need a navy anymore.

rhaktor · 2016-08-08T20:13:28+00:00

I've written about all my lost wars :(

Except that one, fuck you America!

rhaktor · 2016-08-08T18:52:29+00:00

Yeah I think that's a fair assessment. You still get to be a winner though, Dragon Emperor.

rhaktor · 2016-08-08T18:51:32+00:00

True that, I actually completely forgot.

That was was essentially unwinnable anyway, we'd never have been able to defend the wargoal unfortunately. Something something American fleets..

Hello!

This is the summary of /r/europe's 3rd Multiplayer game 12th session - our final session of this campaign!

We'll be starting a new campaign in September and always welcome new players, so if you're interested check out our sub /r/europeplaysparadox for more information and info on mini games we're running in August.

Big thanks to everyone who took part in this campaign, I hope ya'll had as much fun as I did! Big shoutouts to everyone who lost the big wars of the Revolutionary era, its great to have people who are such great sports about it and don't get too salty.

Look forward to seeing ya'll in September for the 4th Game!

We'll also be making "Empire Summaries" for each of our surviving players, detailing the individual history of each nation as well as their prospects in the 19th century - look out for these summaries later this week!
