They have control of three southern French provinces and just had a bloody war with Aragon. So I think they sent all of their troops to fight and none as homeland security, allowing Cornwall and Scotland to run amuck.

Try the Magna Mundi mod. The events tend to do away with the monotony of rebel-whack-a-mole.

Thank you I will try and look into that, I usually dont use mods in any games* since I have had prior experiences with them ruining compatability with my friends' versions(you know the use-more-time-getting-games/computers-talking-than playing LAN sessions)

*Does not aply to Fall From Heaven 2

You can always double install the game to your hard drive, or manually copy the file folders if it doesn't do that. Then install the mod on the 2nd installation only.

 

[Racsoviale]

Would that mean I would have have the entire game installed to times, meaning double the size on the hardrive?

In that case I rather try and live a little and install the mod.

Well from Burgundy I formed France, and control most of what France controlled in RL. I have Brittany (Vendee) and Guyenne (two SWish provinces) as vassals. I destroyed the HRE.

Other than Austria, I think no one can beat me...

How do you destroy the HRE in HTTT?

Destroy = dismantled it.

Funny story. Bohemia passed the reform to make the title hereditary, so all I had to do was occupy Bohemia [Prague] and mash "dismantle". So I sent a suicidal stack of 30k Gustavians to do that. Bohemia ceased to be a threat.

Very nice, very nice. I don't really like the HRE much, even if I am the emperor.

 

[Love]

I like the HRE when you inherit the whole of europe.

Guess what?


There is another expansion coming!

That new map is positively gorgeous. Just saying.

And the improvement lists look very interesting.

And the improvement lists look very interesting.

While it does look gorgeous, I can't say I'm hugely thrilled by the features list. I mean "Play as one of four major daimyo’s in Japan vying for influence over the Emperor and control over the Shogunate" ain't much when I've been playing as one of 20 odd daimyos for the last couple of years with MM.

 

[T_F]

My first thought was, 'why only 4?'. Though, if it does add some nice new game mechanics about the shogunate and whatnot (I would hope for something vaguely similar to the HRE), modding the rest back in would make a much better Japan.

 

[Evie]

Probably because designing 20+ daimyo factions, on top of the improvements they want to make in China and elsewhere, would start stretching them thin - adding in extra countries is not the easiest thing to do.

The features I'm more interested in are the culture-specific buildings, the trade development and the internal factions in China.

 

[madviking]

The map looks exactly like the Vicky 2 map.

 

[Turquoiside]

adding in extra countries is not the easiest thing to do.

Actually, adding in countries is really simple. I've added a few myself actually. EU3 is easily the most moddable game I know of.

 

[Evie]

Not when you want to get the history files to a degree that won't get you lynched by some people for every moment of every year that those countries existed, it's not.

 

[Dachs]

The map changes alone would induce me to buy the game. I'm sold.
