How is your EU3 Game going?

[uat2d]

I was speaking about myself, i like unforced PUs, they are more...natural and historical

Not really, succession wars are really rare in-game (I'm yet to see one, and I've got to suddenly inherit France as Spain once, and the only thing I ever did for them was a Royal Marriage) vs as they were in real life.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_succession

Yeah, but i've had a good ammount of PUs and even sucession wars in both my Trebizond->Rome game and the Timurids->Mughals one...

I remember that older versions of EUIII (Napoleon Ambition?) had a MASSIVE AMMOUNT of PUs and Succession wars, it was so fun I really miss them


My most LoL unforced PU was in MEIOU, like i've probably said in previous posts (i also posted a screenshot, long ago), as a dominant Brandenburg on north Germany (also HRE) i suddently got a PU with my biggest rival : France ; Later i inherited and if it wasn't for a version change in MEIOU that destroyed my save i would have eaten Germany and north Italy...

 

[uat2d]

In said Spain inherits France game, I was alone in the New World and France was blobbing as usual, that time it already had eaten Wales and pushed England into Scotland. That game was pretty much over once that happened as the HRE was too busy fighting among itself.

So, World War I...

Spoiler :

Belligerent parties :

Spoiler :

Mughal-Ottoman alliance

• Mughal Empire
  and its vassals
• Ottoman Empire

The Holy Alliance

• Kingdom of France
• Lithuanian-Muscovite Union
• Kingdom of Prussia
• Novgorodian Republic
• Kingdom of Hungary
• Kingdom of Poland
• Kingdom of Aragon
• Diverse Russian states

I needed to fight using my nomad tech group units, but still was strong enough to fight them...at least my tech was on par with the Western ones...

But even then, my alliance was proved far more stable than the other one, and this was reflected in war capacity, leading to :

Spoiler :

Direct results of the war :

• Dominance of the Mughal Empire over Russia
• Collapse of catholicism in Lithuania
• Rise of protestant and reformed faiths in France, catholic government survived
• Humillation of France as it was powerless to defend eastern Europe against muslim hordes and needed to pay reparations despite never being invaded
• Collapse of catholic government in Hungary

Religious situation of Europe at the end of the war:

Years later :

Losses :
Mughal-Ottoman Alliance
297568 soldiers

Holy Alliance
530181 soldiers

Unknown civilian deaths

Continuing my France game from a slightly earlier save I decided to not fight the Austria-backed Burgundy in favor of fighting a weak Castile and Aragon, getting a couple territories in the process.

[SouthernKing]

not bad, but watch your infamy

 

[Radio Noer]

not bad, but watch your infamy

Yeah, that's why I didn't go for full annexation of Brittany and didn't get more Aragonian territory.

 

[Duke of Britain]

You should vassalize Brittany...waste of infamy to annex it in one war

 

[Quintillus]

I got involved in a succession war once. It was a bad idea.

How do you get total casualties for a whole war? Is that only in Death and Taxes?

The problem with having that much infamy (well one of them) is that if your ruler croaks and your next one's a diplomatic dunce, all of a sudden you are several points over your infamy limit and it will take awhile to recover. In the meantime, you'll be facing wars from all directions (or nearly all in your case, since Castille and Aragon are in a truce).

There is a nifty program called "EU3Stats" that reads your save file and gives you all sorts of cool stats. I wish there was one for HoI3 and Victoria II as well so I could get stats from some big wars I've had in those games.

wut

 

[Radio Noer]

Well, continuing my France game, I got gov tech 11 (?) and got Grand Army with it, cutting down on my costs for being over my forcelimit. Then I moved troops to the Burgundian border and prayed that its allies wouldn't come it its aid. They didn't and I was able to conquer them fairly easily and take 5 or six provines with 8 infamy, it's close to the limit but I should be ok. I also made them release Luxembourg or Aachen or something just to spite them .

Cool, I'll have to download that. Thanks!

New patch, it is big, it has its' own forum!

For whatever reason, I can't access the forum (everything should be registered). Would someone mind posting the beta change-log here?

Some patch.

 

[NBAfan]

Some patch.

New one is out, and it works. It seems an important file was left out of the last one by accident.

The new version crashed at 'loading sounds' for me. I'm going to try disabling sound, and if that doesn't work, I guess a clean reinstall to restore the the original files :/
