How curious, I had no idea there was a group of that on steam.

I rarely play on the net since I play on a lap-top which wasn't made to play games. As a consequence my games are already very laggy as they are while offline (Especially in outdoors places, even more so when the horde attacks in said outdoor places), how much more in online, due to ping and connection problems. I play with my friends on LAN usually.

No wonder I got "Oooh! Shiny graphics for L4D! They feel so smooth!"

So, a little background- after having secured my position so nicely in the Americas, I found myself increasingly bereft of basic necessities- coal primarily. Since its VIP, I still had peace treaties with most of the people in Africa that the programmers put in. In a near simultaneous group of events, I was able to invade what is now Nigeria(once 1885 had passed), annexing two smaller tribes and obtaining myself glorious, glorious coal and timber, in addition to setting up colonies on three different pacific island chains. Unfortunately, my grab at Africa unsettled the Euros. At various points, I have been at war with Germany(managed to defend myself and grabbed a few of their African colonial buildings while they were in the process of being built), but otherwise settled for status quo. My old buddy, France, also attacked, but once again, I was able to fend off the attack. Then, finally, my old nemesis, the Brits, attacked once more. I seized Togo in the war. A while passed, somewhat uneventfully. And then, three days after the peace treaty expired, they came AGAIN. I'm not sure if they've just been this adventurous all game long, but I got fed up. With the US on my side once more(they guaranteed my independence), I occupied the last of their west African possessions near Togo. Then, brazenly, I send a scouting fleet into the channel- a meager fleet, and not an army in sight at the time. I jump on the opportunity, leading to this...





The US negotiates a treat on my behalf, and I receive the last two british provinces in the Togo area. The US, during the war, annexed Canada and took control of the Cree natives while getting assaulted by the French.





I AM ON TOP OF THE WOOOOOOOOORLD!!!!!



NOT!




Following the war against Britain, almost immediately I might add, the Yanks decide to remind me just who's in charge on this continent. Praying, I sent an envoy to the US, offering a white peace, hoping their war weariness(they'd been fighting France for a long time following France's DoW on me previously) would work in combination with my fierce last lines of defense would convince the Yanks to accept. Miraculuously, they accept and I lose only face during the war.

And an upgrade on my EU3 campaign, started this one with Mecklenburg if I haven't mentioned it yet, and managed to form Germany before 1600, now Austria has had the position of emperor of the HRE for some time and overall it looks like this:

One billion people to employ. That must have been quite a RGO upgrading clickfest.
