Maniacal
the green Napoleon
I have a game in HoI2 where I played Poland and beat Germany. So suck that historical failing dachs and stop whining everytime someone fails to do something historical.

Prussia sounds cooler anyways, and earlier you whined about someone not expanding east as Byzantium.
That had something to do with playing in character, yes, but more that leaving so little depth for the defense of Constantinople doesn't make much sense to me. It's certainly not the strategy that I employ against the Mongols, and I was surprised to see somebody playing in such a radically different fashion.

Which events
? There was the one about whether Prussia/Austria should become the dominant influence in Europe, which resulted in a war that ended in a stalemate, which in turn fired an event claiming Austria won? Since then I've been, erm, manually absorbing all the German minors for the past 20 years.Other than an event to form Germany in 1849, which I didn't accept, the only other major events I've had is to attack Denmark a couple of times. Remember Dachity Dachs, I'm playing through this Prussian game to try and get a handle on the game itself, not to try and play historically. No doubt several events passed me by kicking and screaming for me to pick the 'proper' response, but I was probably busy trying to work out how to reorganise my clerks and craftsmen.

I believe you have to beat France in order to become Germany at least in name, you seemed to have already managed it in geography
So if you ever feel like turning grey, go smash some frogs

He has to beat Austria before that. Which basically means capturing the regions in what is now the Czech Republic, then a cease-fire event will fire. That leads to the French war four years later.
Dude, Kan, I don't give nearly as much of a rat's ass about historicity in gaming as people here seem to think I do, it's just a helluva lot easier to unify Germany by going along with the events instead of the way you're doing it, which takes much longer and leads to massive BB.

Will remember for next time. As it turns out I did fail the Austrian War, as I never at any point had even the ability to invade Czech lands - I was getting steamrolled and was lucky to come out of it with a white peace. By the time of the next Austrian wars, and ultimately the French war, I think I had the military system figured out
Austria's having a whale of a time.
As I've learnt that's very true - but remember this is essentially my first play-through of Victoria. I have no idea how certain events are triggered, or which ones are more important than others. As I say I'm simply playing through to figure out how the game works, and rolling with the events as they come.
Thankee for the advice though

One day I'm going to get into Vicky or EU...when I find the bloody time. Anyone care to clarify the main differences between the two?

Europe is about renaissance, change in religion and early colonialism. Exploration age. Victoria is about the Victorian age obviously, more focused on building your nation, industrializing, changing policies, nationalism and unifications, etc.

And how the bloody hell is anyone supposed to know that without having a historical database lugged into their brains or memorising the event file?

Between EU3 and Vicky? Definitely Vicky.

Bit harsh old chap! I'm pretty certain that now that after playing that game and reading Dach's admonishments I would be better prepared for the German Unification events if I played as Prussia again. In addition, as a result of said game I'm now happily reading into a Prussia-Austrian war I never knew existed before today. Good old Paradox
Trying a game as the USA now. For some reason I have a socialist government, but I have the economy under control - I may have the hang of this game yet!
Don't be a jackass. It's not as though you need a Ph.D to have heard of Otto von Bismarck. Besides, I didn't know the exact conditions the first time, it just follows from winning the war with Austria - which he didn't do. It was a gameplay problem, not a "this is too hard for me to understand what to do" problem.

Well in a Fallout 3 game (I tend to be on the good karma level), Got bounced by the damned Talon Company.
Rule #1, never threaten a bounty if someone is armed with a minigun or a gatling laser.
"What sick man sends babies to fight me?"
"You are dead, not big surprise."
Oh, and I acquired the Vengeance by sneaking into the Deathclaw Sanctuary with the Chinese Stealth Armor.

This would probably qualify as a blooper, while trying to shoot Burke, Jericho steps in front of me on his way to his favourite chair. The reason it didn't make it into the AAR was that he then promptly killed me.

Silly AI, at least the survivors in L4D are more forgiving. All they shout out is "DO I LOOK LIKE ONE OF THEM!?" or "Check your fire!" 
.
In Fallout 3, they become hostile if shot at. Unless you quickly holster your weapon. But then it all comes down to luck (General luck of the AI programing, not the SPECIAL trait) if they forgive you or not.

Speaking of L4D, L4D2 has been refused classification in Australia, effectively banning it.
Thank you government for telling me how I should live my life. Too bad I ain't voting for you whenever the next election comes around.
