Lol you're one nosey bugger haha

Barrens sucks, really it does. It's almost as bad as Desolace. Those two areas are the worst in the game. Almost time for you to get a mount. Level 30 these days! Grrr, back when I did it it was level 40 and it was hard as to level between 30 and 50.

Oh I know... I personally loathe the place And yes it is, almost... I personally would rather have freaking mail though... the worst part is is I have the classic version, no BC or LK

What's with your level 70 friends noobie gear?

Lmao he knows it's bad lol... was telling me if any lvl 70's come around (ashenvale), that we'd better make a run for it

Edit: Lol I remember that quest. As if it's hard, and your a hunter with a pet. I did it by my lonesome.

Well good for you but I have a nice habit of dying in Ashenvale atm lol... so his help was appreciated greatly

Edit: What professions did you go? I'm Enchant/Alch, and my Alt is Mining/Herbs. Also judging by your gear it doesn't look like you have much money. Why no money?

I have skinning/leatherworking. And well I spent it all on hunter skills and such... that's why... I make decent bank off of the auction house though... the most I've had was 9 gold lol...

Latest game of HoI2:DD I've played with 1933 mod. Just joined the Axis and have finished cleaning up the Balkan Allied nations(Greece and Bulgaria). Germany has all of Spain(except Portugal), France, and as you can see is making pretty good gains in Russia. They've nearly captured Moscow, we'll see how far they get before winter.

[Martok]

Which nation are you playing there? Croatia?

[Ferret]

Austria

[Csargo]

Which nation are you playing there? Croatia?

It's Austria-Hungary, sorry I forgot to mention that.

[caravel]

Looks like Austria.

-Edit: Ichigo and Elite Ferret got there first.

I've always liked the look of the HoI games, but I doubt I'd have the time to devote to them.

[Martok]

Interesting. I take it you can sidestep the Anschluss then?

Yes. I don't remember exactly how, some sort of event IIRC.

EU III: In Nomine.

Started in 1399 with the Huron. Conquered the Iriquois right off the bat, then jetted straight for centralization and innovative-ness. Got lucky with a 8 administration ruler when Portugal popped into the area in about 1510 or so. Westernized to Latin tech group in said ruler's reign(small nation, easy to get restabilized ) Unfortunately, he passed a couple years after complete westernization and was replaced by a complete numnutz who got the inept ruler trait for the last 7 years of his reign, on top of having terrible admin, meaning I had to wait longer to reform to a noble republic. However, he died and was replaced by another quality administrator(7), and I reformed to Noble Republic. Still haven't actually been attacked by a European power. After a while, I gathered a fairly large army, smote the Castillans out of the American NE, the Appalachians, and Virginia.

Scary Ottomans are scary.

[seireikhaan]

Yah. What you can't see in either of those shots is that the Ottomans actually seized Cuba from the Castillans. Also, France looks monstrous as well. I'd really rather they war with each other and see the carnage.

Right now, I'm thinking of trying an attack on Portugese holdings in North America. Half of their provinces don't have forts, and the ones that do only have a level one. Mine are all at least 4's on the borderlands.

[naut]

I always find I have to restrain myself and not colonise anywhere and everywhere in EU. Really weird if you bring the game over to Vicky afterwards, all the weird colonies everywhere. My current Prussia game in EU II I took most of the West African colonies off of Lithuania of all countries.

BF 1942 with Desert Combat mod:





Edit:



Hehe, I love the F16C-Falcon, bottom rocket hit the BMP-2 square on. BOOM! Also notice all the infantry in the left corner, they all spawned at once.

Edit 2:



GAH! Technical with Recoiless Anti-Tank Gun...

Have you tried Project Reality Mod for BF2?? You might like it... Can be difficult and quite frustrating but it's a fun mod to play if you get in a good squad

HOI2, 1944 Scenario, Germany. The green lines depict ideal defensive lines, I have to trade space for time and reinforce my depleted divisions. Hopefully I can cause the Allies to over-extend themselves and then undertake a counter-offensive and encircle their divisions. In the East I'm relying on a miracle. I can't do anything there until I have pushed back the Allies from firstly France and then mainland Italy.

[Jolt]

You had better reinforce Romania quickly or your Southern eastern line will colapse quite quickly.

I dunno why this thread keeps dying...








Really bizarre game in Victoria: Revolutions, with the VIP mod. Along with my French and American allies, I successfully beat the Mexicans into total submission in a series of wars. The utlra-nationalist party declared the American west coast to be core provinces, and I was able to grab California in one of the last wars with Mexico.

Then it got even more bizarre. My alliance with the US ran out just before the civil war broke out, but they asked me to either join as a state(riiiiiiight ) or to ally with them. I did ally, forcing a declaration of war. The game asked if I wanted to ask the French to join. Thinking "Sure, why not? End this sooner". Of course, I was hoping to batter the confederates western border, hopefully seize Louisiana and its precious sulfur resources, and expand my prestige further. However, when the French joined the war, they took primacy in negotiations. And, apparently, they were uninterested in the war for the most part. They achieved a peace treaty with the CSA, resulting in both myself and the USA to achieve peace with them as well! The only price was a couple provinces in Missouri, which went to America. I was heavily annoyed, as I'd occupied Louisana and a good chunk of both Arkansas and Alabama, and got nothing. However... this means the CSA has survived the civil war. Not sure how this'll play out.

Interesting game there, mate. A pity you got screwed by the French.

A question, by the way: Why are there two factions in the South? I presume the black/dark gray is the CSA, but who is the light gray?

Indeed, and I think that's FoW but we'll wait n see

[Jolt]

It is the FoW. Light Grey is the provinces khaan can see into, and dark grey are those he can't see into (Because they are not adjacent to the province his troops are in.)

Speaking of Victoria: Rev + VIP, before I saw your image, I had the idea of posting a screenshot with the events fired of the CSA's victory in the Civil War on Vip. Which is quite rare, considering its VIP.

[seireikhaan]

Yeah, fog of war. Reason the provinces in 'Bama are lit up is because that's where my army was conquering when the war was pulled out from under my feet.

[Meneldil]

Wow. I really liked Eu II and planned to try out EU III, but the map is like, really austere. There's like, nothing but a few numbers.

I know this is a gestion game and all, but at least EU II had some fancy stuff, like small characters beating on each others, cities burning and what not. Don't think I could play a game with such a blank map.

[seireikhaan]

More odd turns of events. I decided to intervene in Panama, so as to take the future site of the canal. The result was a somewhat protracted war with Columbia, though I was never in a much trouble. Eventually, I managed to occupy every meaningful province, demanded three provinces on the isthmus, and turned Columbia into a satellite. I followed this with another war against two-province to the north(Costa Rica). I annexed them to give me a source of coffee, as well as to provide a nice buffer for Panama. I continued my march northward into Nicaragua, occupied them with little wasted effort, and turned them into a satellite. Satisfied, I returned my army onto its transports and withdrew back to the homeland.

This ratcheted my BadBoy score up to around 40. Great Britain, apparently not liking my imperialist goals, declared war to head off my fledling Texan Empire. However, they got more than they asked for. My allies, the USA and France, joined me in defense. I sent armies running through and overwhelming the small British garrisons in Belize, Jamaica, the Bahamas, and the Leeward islands. I even managed to sail an army to seize one of their isolated colonies in Africa. America, meanwhile, ran up the Canadian west coast, in addition to seizing Trinidad and Tobaggo, and Bermuda. France, meanwhile, absorbed a heavy, frontal assault in Normandy for over a year. In the end, the US would succeed where I could not- they negotiated a treaty in primacy of myself. I would receive Jamaica, the Bamamas, and Belize, which I was quite thrilled with. America got British Columbia, Trinidad, and Bermuda. France and Britain would achieve a separate peace over a year later.

Following my victory against the British, I finally was able to turn my attention inwards- Mexico had been reduced to two, isolated provinces. With their only ally being Guatemala, I declared war on the mexican government, annexing them with little effort. Following a mobilization, I went into a war of attrition with Guatemala- the harsh terrain took its toll on my forces, but in the end, the Guatamalans could simply couldn't match my forces. I took Flores, which completed my control over the Yucatan province, and turned Guatemala into a satellite as well.

To complete my control over the territories of Mexico, I traded two techs, the african colony I took from the british, and about 200k pounds to France in exchange for their three provinces in Mexico.

As for the CSA:

...

I'm not sure quite what happened. At some point between my conquest of Panama and the British war of agression, war must have broken out or something between the US and CSA. The US weren't strictly my allies(they guaranteed my independance, hence why they caim to my aid against the British), so I wouldn't have been asked to join the war. Regardless, the CSA totally folded, giving complete control of the south back to the US.

[Marshal Murat]

Wow, seirei, I'm impressed.

Are you going to start "re-educating" the Latin locals to accept Democracy?

[seireikhaan]

Wow, seirei, I'm impressed.

Well, let's give credit where its due- this campaign sinks right off the bat without a boatload of help from the Yanks. Whether it was them battering the Mexican lines and causing immense war weariness, or lending me armies far larger than I could have ever hoped to train, they absolutely were the driving force behind my early success. The French helped later on, but only marginally compared to the US efforts. And against the Brits, I didn't have to do a lot- I had a successful naval battle in which I turned back a good number of transports, but that just required a few men-o-war. The French took the brunt during that war(and ultimately emerged less battered than the Brits).

Are you going to start "re-educating" the Latin locals to accept Democracy?

Well, they're certainly going to accept my democracy.

[Husar]

Well, this is my current progress in EU3, one of my first games, I'm about the only nation with more than 4 provinces that is protestant so you may understand why I have few allies etc.
Also france is emperor of the HRE.
Well, here goes:

It also seems I can't have more than 6 centres of trade, set a few more for the auto trade function but it didn't do anything. My goal for now is to form Germany and there are just two provinces(and 50 years to get them as cores) to go to unlock the decision, getting them without getting pounded by all the major factions, however, is the problem.
