EHEH u mad latvian ? can't awnser b'coz muted :D

The latest example is :
England wanted to keep attacking France (and become a super war-machine) and so, i was allied with England, and i switched to French side.
Just in order to stop his conquest.
He still decided to attack France (with the spanish bot helps)
And now he is losing hard in France :)
Turkish player is also very hardcore dude. Crushing everything.

Yeah man.
Portugal is the new slave of France and clearly want somr of your lands + took your colonies.
Without a coalition, no one of us can compete France.
Let's see what will happen today ! ;)

Post by: Herezy92 on July 27, 2014, 11:31:58 pm
Here the campaign's repport :

Day 6 :
(click to show/hide)

The first World War.
Portugal decided to expand in Castile.
Two Sicilies enforced peace once and Portugal accepted it by falling back to his lands.
Castile engaged a war against Navarre at the same time as France.
France captured it faster, and made Navarre as a vassal.

And here the first world war started :
France as an Overlord, entered in the war on Navarre's side against Castile.
This "fake war" was clearly unbalanced, with an enormous advantage for the French.
Castile refused to give money to end the "fake war".

Portugal frustrated by the last "enforce peace" from Two Sicilies joined the French and started to invade Castile from behind.
By seing this, Holland & Two Sicilies decided to help Castile against Portugal.
(Which means, entering in war against France : the War Leader)

And so, the allies (Two Sicilies & Spain) slaughtered the Portuguese in a single battle.
Instantly after this defeat, Portugal offered white peace to Castile, which got accepted.
Portugal let France fighting alone against the coalition, which now turn back their eyes to enemy War Leader.

Instantly, the French who were easly winning this war, got huge troubles from north, south-east & south-west.
In the North, Dutch allies gathered under Holland banner with 40k soldiers.
In Spain, Two sicilies and Castile regrouped 60k soldiers.
In north Italy, Two sicilies regrouped 60k soldiers with the vassals.

The allies started to push from all sides.
And very fast, French main army is surrounded in middle of France.
France is losing lands after lands without any chance to compete the allies.
After some hard months for France, England joined the war on French side, followed by Turkish Empire.

At the same time, Turkish Empire got backstab by Russians.

The war is balance again.
The French/English regrouped and defeated several allies army in France.

And now we will see tomorrow what's gonna happen.

It is an epic war at the moment, started over pretty much nothing, remind you of any other World Wars? You should see the map with all the troops as well at one point, it was really epic.

I am very new to this game and have found it very hard to get to grasp the concept, but a few hours in and watching a few tutorials and i am instantly hooked.

The only annoying thing is having to wait for people in order to play the game, stop having jobs nubs. :)

Campaign's repport for day 7 :

Here the screenshot :
(click to show/hide)

End of the first World War :
After waiting for AGES to regroup all players, we finally continued the game.
France, England & Turkish Empire were dominating in the military way.

However, France was in extreme & chaotic situation.
With France close to collapse, Turks blocked & sieging Sicily and the Allies escaping main French/English army in the north of France, England started to think that the money he sent to France was a misstake.
Months passed and no more big battles happened.
With an excellent economy, Holland offered 400 golds to England for a white peace.
England asked for 500g and Holland accepted.

In the north of France, the 40k english soldier out of the balance, the Allies with 67.000 men decided to engage the main French army counting around 50.000 men in the south of Paris.
The Allies got defeated by the French, and ran back to north Holland.
The French army decided to follow them and finish them once and for all.
A second battle started. This time, the Allies were defending in the Holland's capital.
With a nice ground advantages, the Allies won this epic battle, which decided who will be the winner of this war.

With the main French army defeated, France sent a peace offer to Castile.
The peace treaty :
Navarre became independant, France broke all relations with England, and gave one land to Castile.
This is how the 1st World War ended.

---------
After the huge war, some countries recovered faster than others.
Castile started to rebuild his economy and expanded his colony "New Castile" from "New York"
England used his money to developp his lands and started to colonise North America.
France fought the rebels and the independantists.
Portugal continued to expand with colonies.
Holland became United Provinces (UP). UP started to colonise south Africa.
Saxony got divided between many HRE country.
Turkish Empire continued his insane expansion in Russia & in the East (Pakistan area)
Two Sicilies captured more Aragonese's lands & also expanded in North Italy.

After a much longer recover than others, France annexed Savoy & Burgundy quite fast.
And just before stoping the game.
Another main war started between France, Poland, Sweden, and 4-5 more countries,
against :
Bohemia, Two sicilies and some German States.
No one of the other players joined it yet. And probably wont intervene.

Yes, first of all, France needs to find back the religious unity, because it's killing your economy.
And then join the crusade to liberate Europe against the Turks.
It might improve your relation with Two Sicilies and mine as well at the same time^^(as a catholic fanatic :p)

Here the campaign's repport.

Day 8 :
Europe :
(click to show/hide)
America :
(click to show/hide)

After regrouping all players quite fast, we continued our game.

In the second main war with France, Sweden, Poland VS Bohemia & Two Sicilies,
France decided to not fight in the foreign lands, and they defended their homeland.
Quite fast, the peace got accepted and Bohemia gained some polish lands.

Later in the game, England declared a colonial war against Castile & Two Sicilies in North America.
Not prepared to this attack, the Allies got crush by the English who had a massive naval advantage.

Angry, and requesting revenge, Castile prepared the war of reconquest. With the support of his ally : Two Sicilies.
As a defender, England asked all his allies to help and so this war engaged many factions :

England New England, Bohemia, Sweden, Portugal, Portugal's colonies
VS
Castile, New Castile, Two Sicilies, Venice.
At the start the "Latin's allies" started to win several battles in north America.
England regrouped his army fast and started to counter attack the latins.
In Europe Portugal won the first battles with an army of 50k against 18k Spanish.
Then, the Italians arrived and saved the spanish forces.
Portugal white peace out after the first defeat of his army, afraid by the huge amount of troops of Two Sicilies.

Some months later, Bohemia and his vassals reached the north of Spain.
After wining 2 main battles, the Bohemia lost his army when they attacked Castilian forces, which were defending the west-Pyrenees.

In the ocean, the italian admiral too much confident, decided to attack the english fleet with an enormous fleet, but specialised for inside sea, and not oceans.
Two Sicilies lost their main fleet in a complete defeat. 200 ships lost for 2 English ships destroyed.

In North America England recovered and took back the control.
Months passed, and one by one the English allies made seperated peace with the Latins.

Again, the situation changed to the Latin's advantage.
England offered lot of money for the Dutch's help, (who were neutral, even if allied to Castile)
The Dutch refused the money, explaining that they can not join this war, because thy were neutral, and moreover, they were an ally of Castile.

Later in the war, Two Sicilies succefully landed in English main lands. For years, the English fought the Italians who used mercenaries to resist against the English.
After many battles, the English ran out of manpower, and here started the long siege of England.
Here a screenshot :
(click to show/hide)
The English fought to the end, and waited the have -100% warscore to sign peace.

At the end of this war both sides were exhausted. (especially England & Two Sicilies)
And Castile took back his colonial provinces.

Dunno how the tech groups work in this mod, but vanilla ottomans have their own specific one. At the start it is equivalent or even slightly superior to western tech group , but eventually it gets overtaken even by eastern european tech group. Westernization is hard to achieve in a multiplayer match...you have to deliberately lag behind in at least one tech and it causes a lot of destabilization. Enemies will take advantage of those weakenesses much more efficiently than AI. Doesn't Russia get some Peter the Great type event that will let it bypass the usual westernization requirements?

Anyways, look at all those religious uprisings. Ottomans were rulling way too many orthodox provinces. Whoever is playing them, did you take religious ideas? Frigging imperative if you plan on expanding so much into other religion areas.

As far as the russian event for bypassing the westernization process I don't think that that event is even in the game.

The turks are now divided and split from many many many provinces.
(They control some lands from East India to Hungarian lands, they aren't super strong anymore, but still powerfull)
However, this catholic coalition benefits to Two Sicilies, who is now unstoppable, even with another great coalition...


@Oberyn, The guy who was playing Ottomans was very good and smart. (french guy of course) :D But he left at day 7 for holidays.

Current Players for the HRE Campaign:

Latvian: Hesse
Shagga: Bohemia
Vaga: Brandenburg
Strudog: Milan


Day 1:

Hesse:

Allied with Bohemia in order to help expand in HRE, finding it difficult because overlord Bohemia is taking most of the lands for themselves. Will have to wait a long time in order to become big.

Bohemia:

Allied with Hesse, uses them as a sort of Vassal in theory but not in name, have expanded quickly and erraticlly at the start, has now found themselves to be in a difficult position with a big coalition being formed against them.

Brandenburg:
 Expanded quickly as well, wiping pomerenia from the map in the beginning years of the campaign, also felt the strain of expanding too quickly and found it self in many wars. This expansion led to a war against Poland which it could not win and is in the process of being full conquered by Poland.

Milan:

Decided that being land locked was far from ideal expanded eastwards in Northern Italy wiping small faction from the map in order to reach the sea, eventually made it to the sea next to venice who then became a rival. A large coalition involving Austrian, Venice and Switzerland and many smaller nations was formed against Milan. Seeing that both Switzerland and Austria were now locked in big wars (Switzerland against small factions to the North and Austria vs England) Milan seized its chance to attack Venice try and gain a few more territories and a trade node. The war is balanced at the moment and is large, will be a long time before this is over.
