Can I call em or what? :( Do chuid

It's 1725 and there are Hapsburg soldiers in every city in the former United Provinces, Denmark, Germany and Austria. Oh and I've taken a third of Sweden. Brilliant civ. :king: Do chuid

Ireland was NOT (officialy) against the war. We were politically sympathetic to the Coalition and allowed American millitary aircraft to fuel at Shannon. Remember Ireland is a neutral country like Sweden so even if we support force we are unlikely to equip it. We would defenitely stay neutral in...

Very good so far - though I've only played the Hapsburgs (in single player) so I'm not sure how it compares to Colonies III (which I loved) when using the more tradtional powers. Finally (in 1641) drove the Swedes from Germany and am looking to consolidate my gains before turning on the...

The Kingdom of Scotland certainly initially lasted as a culturally Dalriadan but by the end of the 13th century it was a country largely of Norman/Saxon culture and indeed ethnicity in the Lowlands. This was an internal matter (unlike the conquest and colonisation of Ireland for example) which...

What I'm saying is that those Scots have few links to the later Kingdom of Scotland and fewer still to modern Scotland. Ethnicity, language, culture, aristocracy of these and so on of these Scots ceased to control the destiny of the kingdom they created and though the people continued to exist...

The word 'Irish' is an anglicisation of the Gaelic word Eireannach, itself derived from the name of the country. Latin writers would doubtless have reffered to country as Hibernia and the inhabitants as Scots but they are entirely irrelevant to the disscussion. True the later Irish term Ghaedal...

Because Scotland (the country or nationality) did not exist at that time. The idea of 'Irishness' existed - that is to say Irishmen made a distinction between foreigners from abroad and foreigners from across the border - and much more arguably so did the idea of 'Englishness'. Also both Ireland...

The Celtic Church of the 6th and 7th centuries was mostly Irish (though with a large Northumbrian and 'Scottish' - which is to say the Irish Scots in the west - presence). It suffered a serious (fatal?) setback at the Synod of Whitby where the King of Northumbria, Oswy reluctantly accepted the...

I'm in the same boat as the rest of you and I'd like a game (so long as its a decent scenario). I reside in Ireland. Do chuid

Well their are several Knightly Orders but they would probably have the same stats as Reiksguard. The Knights of the White Wolf are a little different. They wield massive two handed hammers rather than lances and go into battle shieldless. Slightly harder hitting than ordinary knights but weaker...

Gauis Julius Caesar and Brian Boru. Oh and Sitric Silkbeard (Sitric mac Aulliffe). Do chuid

It might be a little late in the day but if you still need to know how Ireland would react then I have a few points (I am Irish btw). Ireland would probably decide against ceding full soverignty. Unlike Spain it really is about the funding here and there is very little romanticisation of the...

I can provide a fair bit of information on The Empire if you need it. Do chuid
