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.

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.![]()

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![]()

All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut
