Realpolitik CIV - An Interactive AAR

[Gruekiller]

But that's not as much fun!

 

[W|M]

combat in cIV is s**t, anyway!

 

[ilduce349]

thats y i am a pacifist in civ

 

[Gruekiller]

Waitwhat. Aren't you the one in favor of invading Ireland?

 

[Aysee]

Ilduce's a man of paradoxes, Grue...Surely you've figured that out by now...

MOST LIKELY Ireland has less military than Carthage. So it makes sense if we wait 50-70 turns to rebuild and then attack. And besides, we don't even have to take all of it. We just need to take the island and vassalize the rest.

 

[ilduce349]

Yes, its a small, cost efficient war. Thats why I support it. (Rome was not)

@Aysee. No vassaling, let them keep iceland

So, with the war drawing to a close, I think it's time we look at the state of affairs domestically. England has emerged victorious after the most violent and massive conflict in European history (the first true war). Tens of thousands people are dead and England is entering a financial death spiral which, luckily, isn't as bad as it sounds.

Central Europe is relatively pacified and the Iberian English are probably more than happy that the war didn't reach their door. Most of the political backlash has been focused on our Island and even then it isn't too bad. The string of victories across Europe has off-set the morale killer of the death tolls and the fact that many families will be able to claim someone in the family died in the war.

There's no telling how bad it is for the Romans living on the Eastern Front.


Well, time for what to name the war I believe. War or Roman Aggression? Caesar's War? The European War?

 

[Gruekiller]

The Roman War could suffice.

 

[mechaerik]

Caesarian Wars?

 

[Sonereal]

The Roman War could suffice.

Not really. It's plain and not awe-inspiring.

Caesarian Wars?

I like.

 

[Spectrite]

For us, yes it is!

Yes, it is, right now. But like I said, it will be a long-term plan, so by then it won't be much.

 

[Aysee]

@War name: Caesarian War is good.

 

[Spectrite]

Not really. It's plain and not awe-inspiring.

It's a fine name. Few wars have awe-inspiring names...

I like.

How is that any less plain than the Roman War?

 

[mechaerik]

Because Caesarian sounds cooler than Roman.

 

[Gruekiller]

The War of Roman Succession?

 

[Cull]

World War One.

 

[MathNerd]

Uh oh... WW1 was followed by a WW2 in RL...

Anyway, let's not discuss any more war plans. We will simply finish the whatever war we are in ATM, then make peace for at least two turnsets. Once we are back in the top-ish of the pack, we can consider warring yet again.

 

[Sonereal]

World War One.

Not exactly global yet though.

The War of Roman Succession?

Succession wars? We totally need to have one of those some day.

Because Caesarian sounds cooler than Roman.

Indeed.

Well, if you consider the Atlantic sea theater, the minor skirmishes in India, China, and the Pacific(in the wide sense of army distribution, and what not) major parts of World War I, then I suppose that our timeline's World War One was far larger than the one I'm proposing.

But earlier time, smaller scale. Our war encompassed from Saladin and Russia's most eastern holding, tot he firigd North of the Mongols and the Norse, to the Iberian pensiula, to the Balkans, and truly could be considered a world war.

I'll give you the Great War or Grand War then. But not WW1.
