The Reign in Spain

Russia will throw more units than anyone at a problem if going strong. Britain would have numbers and tech. it be hell for you

Advisor: Moar British carracks are coming. They came just in time to watch their final group of pistoliers be routed brutally.

King: In honor of this magnificent event, I've constructed the Amsterdam beurs. We'll have a dam good war thanks to it!

Advisor: We've won a tremendous victory! less than 20% of our troops died, compared to 100% of the British troops dying!
King: Yay!
Advisor: But there still is bad news...The British have a huge surplus of soldiers to attack us. A SoD is near Tolosa. We assume A: they'll attack Tolosa and advance south of the Pyrenees. B: They'll avenge their brethren from the assault near St. Flour. C: They're just here to pillage and will eventually leave. Our troops sent to kill the British Swiss mercenaries lost leaving the Pyrenees open to a British invasion.
King: Or D: We won't let them take anymore cities...

Advisor: Why are you still calling it that?
King: Because New Spain is already taking and New England is where I dumped the carcasses of dead Englishmen from the El Ferrol SoD.

Advisor: TAKE IT!
King: K.

Dooooo...du-du-du-du.

King: That was a chinsey deal, I destroyed most of the British armies...
Advisor: Yes, but you were the only side to lose a city, and that's all that matters.

King: Oh well, at least this has caused the Spanish Great Awakening..

Spanish Great Awakening: When the English attacked the Spanish, the Spanish found themselves off-guard and unprepared for the war, their military was in poor shape and most of their money was being spent on colonial projects. After the war, the Spanish King realized reforms needed to be made so his kingdom could stay on top.

King: Err... what was that?
Advisor: Just go on...
King: As I was saying...I've now learned I need to focus on my military too. The war also brought on new technological breakthroughs for the sake of the military, science and math. Screw all of you anti-war hippies, war is arsum! Look at this cool ship we've invented called the Frigg'n 8.

Advisor: I know this is off topic but another merchant has been born in one of your cities. I guess he feared his merchant ship would be sunk because there is no freedom of the seas.
King: Yeah, and if the British wouldn't sink him, Redbeard and Germans sure would. Cuz they believe in unrestricted subfrigate warfare.

King: :o

UH-OH!!! The Second Anglo-Reigno-in-Spaino-Randomer War has broken out! Will the British actually "win" this time, or will they not? YOU HAVE TO TUNE IN NEXT TIME TO FIND OUT!!!
 
I think I was slightly ahead of Britain but far behind Russia.
 
I'm pretty sure I've said this before but I've finished the game a long time ago.
I loaded my last save (1786) to see what atrocious acts Russia was committing and this is what I found:

Spoiler :
The Russian army is truly a behemoth, but spread out, excluding Crimea. I'm guessing they sent that SoD to Crimea to conquer, well, the Crimean Khanate. Also, I'm somewhat impressed with the Russian navy. With all of their privateers and galleons, they could have sent the SoD from Crimea to be loaded onto their ships and have sailed all the way to Spain. But the AI can be stupid at times. Actually, almost all of time. But the last time I've seen a Russian SoD this big is during every single time I've played as Germany in the Road to War.

Well, road to war your playing the nazis against everyone, and stalin gets more time than you to get big forces...plus, SOD does the allies injustice in WW2. Multi-tile deep wall of doom from all sides is a better term.
 
Usually, when I'm playing as the Nazis in RtW, Russia either has a couple huge SoDs or one tremendously huge SoD. When I first played RtW, I had no idea what to do and I played as Germany. Because Poland has no UUs, I defeated them semi-easily. But when I had to invade France, I just hurled tanks and infantries at them and lost horribly.
 
ya... German rtw can end up going quite badly, particularly if you don't kill Britain quickly.

Yeah...the line is a complete pain to smash. and on historical, you have to wait for the god damn low countries invasion point to be able to go around it...and the AI for France hasn't been given phony war programming

I found it pretty easy with artilleries.
 
Funny you should mention the phony war. I'm testing a modmod I've made of the RtW that changes the cost of producing units, gives some civs more cities and adds Maginot Fortifications in Finland (Mannerheim Line) and Greece (Metaxas Line). France sent a giant SoD of 47 Renault tanks and other units to Freiburg and the cities keeps getting exchanged between the two countries. Germany had a SoD stationed in Essen but it didn't do anything for a while. It's really hard to make a historical WW2 mod.

Let's see in the Mannerheim Line will hold...


But we should really get back on topic here.
I'll try to post the next update in two days.
Any comments on the story so far?
 
meanwhile, coming from a universe or two to the left, and from the northern waters of the Soviet Coast...

Captain Marko Ramius: It reminds me of the heady days of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin when the world trembled at the sound of our rockets. Now they will tremble again - at the sound of our silence. The order is: engage the silent drive.


Why use subs to destpry shipping when you can get 120 nuclear weapons that can hit the US from the point it left port...despite the fact the port is north of where Moscow is by a long shot( i.e. not on map.)...which places all of Europe in range.

Time to see the Bourgious swine fry...
 
Chapter XX

King: :mad: They broke the treaty! It's a ten-year treaty, not a five-year treaty!
Advisor: Well, sire, what can we do?
King: I'll tell you what we won't do: lose any cities! Send a Hussar directly to Burdeos.
Advisor: The city is only guarded one musketman!
King: TAKE THE CITY!!!

King: Let the war continue!
Advisor: Well, we're back to our borders before the First Anglo-Spanish War.
King: You mean the First Spaino-English War.
Advisor: Right...We assume another British fleet will terrorize Burdeos, then move on to El Ferrol.

Advisor: Sire, I'm surprised of you...
King: I'm sorry...no I'm not...it's just...our foreign sucks. It needs improvement; besides, the longer the war continues, the bigger the chance of a Russian-British alliance, and we can't let that happen. And, Catholicism has been restored to the English throne and, besides the Pope, they're the only other Catholic nation here...

Will Spain and England finally get along, or will they not? Find out soon, but not soon enough.
 
why do I have the feeling the war between Spain and Russia if thought of in RL terms is Spain funding rebels in the Duchy of Moscow, and having them have to fight off all the independents. I.e. not actually fight directly.

Here's a story idea: have God decide to reveal himself. He takes control of Spain. He uses them to start global conquest.

Totally not inspired by warhammer.
 
I'm not sure when I'll be able to make Chapter XXI but it won't be for at least another three days.
