As a neutral observer to this brilliant PBEM i thought why not offer your opinions and get everyone to hate you rather than themselves
To this end i thought i would offer my totally unbiased opinion and also maybe compare the characters with certain historical figures, and you probably wont like it lol.
Starting with:
Eivind IV:
Your not going to like this, but in this game i see you as a modern day Hitler

. Whatever anyone says you make assurances and then totally disregard them and do what you please. The amount of times i've heard to speak of peace before, on the next turn, invading another country is actually quite an impressive number. And of course just like hitler you have been able to get away with this due to the appeasement of the other major powers, but ill get to that later. Also there is not one time, that i can see, where you have asked for the approval of the UN to sanction any of your "liberations" Just like Hitler didnt with the League of Nations.
Ohwell:
I cant really think of a historical figure for you, you seem to be a mishmash of them

which is great. I see you as a sort of Mussilini (im a ww2 buff lol) following his ally into a war which you didnt really want but will try to prosecute it to the best of your ability, i bet youll also drop out if things dont go your way but thats another story. Overall though youve been quite silent, friendly to everyone although using the "columbo massacre" as an excuse to declare war is like todays US using Pearl Harbour as an excuse to invade japan. Its in the past, but obviously its served its purpose.
Pavlov:
Continuing the WW2 theme, your Neville Chamberlin, but even worse. You kept threatening china if they kept doing aggressive moves yet when they did you just threatened some more and stepped down. Peace in our time, indeed. However like Neville Chamberlin you eventually saw that you had to step in to stop wanton aggression, but like good ol Neville, you did this far far too late. Frankly in my opinion you should have stuck by South Korea, or at worse Taiwan, as soon as China signalled an attack on south korea you move your entire fleet and airforce into the pacific and park them near the taiwanese coast. If china even went near them you bomb the, destroy their airforce, bomb their cities, murder their fleet. Sometimes war is the only way, and unfortunately when it came it caught you flat footed.
jamesjkirk:
You seem the perfect sort to lead the russians, your exactly like Gorby, or maybe Yeltsin, trying to mordernise your economy and cozying up to the west, but keeping the asians cheerful as well. You have stuck with UN resolutions and are generally a trustworthy person. God your boring to write about lol
mordheim:
Last but not least, of course, come the leader of the EU. Now as for a historical character your a bit like Queen Elizabeth I. Your hands on, you stand by your allies come hell or high water, you want peace but your not afraid to kick some tail if that fails, youve complied and asked the UN for almost every action you have undertaken which shows your rather law abiding and despite that you get drawn into a war which no-one really wanted, but that almost everyone saw was coming. Although i must admit, the EU is the only solvent economy in the world when this game starts so you had an advantage there. But if i was playing i would judge you a fitting ally.
In conclusion, some of chinas arguments ring a bit hollow with me. When the Allies invaded the US and Europe you were there criticising them despite the fact they were invaded, and despite the fact that the Americans only bombed a few airbases and took one city to bring the allies to the peace table. Same with the EU.
Yet when you invaded south korea, vietnam, taiwan, "mongolia" and many other places without the UN's Say so, you brush of their criticisms siting the previous examples as justification.
Also in conclusion, this is a great game, keep it up
