The screenshot topic

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.

Wow, seirei, I'm impressed.

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

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).

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

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.

Anyways, here's some Single-Player Left4Dead screenshots I took while playing:

Tribute to my leet-skilled foresight on how an infected was in the toilet and shot through the material.

Me facing one of those mega-hordes. Curiously, the girls love me. I guess that's a thing I carry from the real world into the virtual one.

And me in the process of wtfpwning the said mega-horde.

I can't find a Vicky topic, and since a lot of people are posting screens of this game here, thought I would give it a shot and ask:

I heard you can play the game as the Manhattan or Paris Commune, is that true? If so, I really need the game.

LOOONNNNGGG game... But damn it was fun. About 20 min in they controlled most of the map except the south side, and there was a constant arty to my team mates base. I soon got out jagdpanther and pushed back on both sides. At the end of the game where my team mate and I came back from the brink they kept saying we didnt have the bragging rights because it wasnt a vp game. And only real people play vp matches. BAHAHAHAHAHA sore losers. Ima post some in game shots from that match later.

I am sorry, Meneldil, for taking so long to answer. I haven't played as France or the US much. However, a little browsing has informed me that the Paris Commune is NOT playable directly. However, the Paris Commune IS an event that triggers for France in 1871. France is given the options of either kicking them out(which triggers an increase in rebelliousness), negotiate(which results in loss of prestige and cash), or to let them into the government, which results in le Parti Ouvrier Français becoming the ruling party of France.

EDIT: and I still have nothing on the Manhattan commune.
