Pile of Cobblers, an English EU3 AAR

[Maniacal]

Can you build the Suez Canal? Or does the game not run that late.

I say we invade Egypt (at a later point). And from there invade India. However that wouldn't be for quite a while. Anywho, I'd like to dibs Governor of Egypt.

 

[Swein Forkbeard]

Shouldn't we have automatic knowledge of some territories in Africa now? Especialy the Cape of GOod Hope area? I would recommend settling that area as it is an important stop over for ships.

It would also put us in conflict with some Bantu peoples native to that area. And you should know how fierce they are, right?

 

[Maniacal]

Eh, much of Africa is unclaimed, especialy in the south. There aren't any Bantu right at the south end anyways.

hey captain, did my declaration of war go through for the Iroquois?

not since we lack the troops right now, currently we have typhoon's division being transfered over, however preparations have been made, I made a claim on their lands giving us a casus beli, thus no stability hit when the war is declared, sorry for the slow progress but France kept our hands full, despite that I took steps to ensure our victory such as build castles and so on

I haven't really gotten that far but I'd doubt it since that would be a major change to the map

and as long as France leaves us alone I see no problems with expanding our colonial reach, right now on my list of priorities, and you can certainly take a governor position

1. Invade Iroquois and Huron, roughly 14 Divisions combined so getting our army prepared may take awhile

2. Expand into Africa (explorers en route)

3. Get us out of debt (we have four loans or something, so during all of this only minimal spending will occur)

4.Increase our Navy size once out of debt

5. do some research on medals and award the heros of the war

 

[Kal'thzar]

I also suggest counqering the Inca's, they have something along the lines of 12-15 gold producing provinces.

Whats the state of our Navy now?

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

South Africa is always a good place to colonise, provides a springboard to India as well.

 

[e350tb]

I'll take some time off my general duties to explore for a bit, if you like. You can call me back next time a big war happens.

 

[Junglecutter]

We might want to also colonize in Southeast Asia (Malay Pininsula, and the Philippine Archipelego would be nice territories)

 

[Nuka-sama]

I claim all governship over the new world.....pretty please

 

[Captain2]

New World as in the Americas? because thats fine, BNA, South America and the Carribeans are under your command

and we also have a chance for a new national idea, anyone know if Viceroys are any good? they provide + 30% overseas income and sound pretty good since the majority of our holdings are overseas

 

[Nuka-sama]

If you have alot of colonial cities, then viceroys kick @$$

 

[Captain2]

alright because we have nine of them.... so I'm thinking it may be a good idea

 

[Junglecutter]

Why stop at nine? We must colonize more and more!

 

[Captain2]

alright, our colonial war has begun, three armies have been transfered to British North America, The Governors Division, Tycoon's Army and e350 has also been transfered from Ireland

however, things are beginning to go badly

The King has made a call for more troops to be transfered from Britain to North America in hopes of protecting the colonial capital of Manhattan

 

[sirtommygunn]

you idiots declared war on both at the same time? are you CRAZY?

 

[Captain2]

and after looking at the Huron and Iroquois I have discovered they are not at war but rather have a royal marriage

the Iroquois and Huron are allied

1. Invade Iroquois and Huron, roughly 14 Divisions combined so getting our army prepared may take awhile

if only there had been some warning.....

 

[sirtommygunn]

even so you should have made preparations for the obvious attack on the colonies

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

I'm going to presume it was the sheer size of the native armies that threw you back, as they hit me that way too. And it only looks bad because when you siege a pre-city province, you can just click 'seize colony' and it's yours for good, no treaties required.

Simply hold out, counterattack and do the same to them. (You should have had more of the colonial provinces guarded though, if preparing for war )

 

[Captain2]

ouch, I just found out that when I came back to write up the update I had forgotten to pause, thus losing North America for the most part to natives, most of Britain rebelled for some reason and then Burgandy declared war stealing our Brittany provinces, therefore I have decided to go back in time to our last save

of course this is where Mr. Saxon will come in handy

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Pre-industrial age TARDIS ready and waiting, for King and country to step back in time

Presumably it's horse-driven.
