I feel lonely...no one else have screenies?



So yeah, passed the final reform, formed the Holy Roman Empire. I'm a noble republic, chose a Military Candidate to win.

Stats:
Admin: 9
Beaurocratic: 9
Military: 6

He's alright.

When the empire formed, I was ranked second in land forces, with 160k troops. Russia has 220.

I decided to increase my land force. Its not done building and I'm at 332 thousand men.

My mission is to "Create an Army for our nation".

I need to have a standing army of 584 thousand men to complete the mission.

I just got into this game a few weeks back and I'm really enjoying it. Beskar formatted my laptop yesterday though, so all my old saves are gone, but I've started a new game as Tyrone (well, Ireland now), so will post a screenie at some point so you're not on your lonesome. :3

I was not expecting this!! I spent the last few hours playing 1944 scenatio organising fronts and retreating both in the east and west. Will this make my game easier or harder now? Shall I get a new flag?? Exciting stuff?

Why would hitler being assassinated destroy the nazti party? Wouldn't Himmler or Goering just take over or something?

20th July Plot. Basically it was a coup which if successful would have removed the high german command's ability to counter the coup. There is a quite recent thread on the matter in the monastery.

Some screenies from my Anno 1404 game.

I like those Anno screenies!

[Greyblades]

Blimey that looks cool, is that like settlers?

Very atmospheric, it must have taken you ages to get the angles just right.

My team blasting through the door, even though I just unlocked it. *sigh*

again, my team blasting through a door. this is before we find a room full of creepy paper-mache masks of the killers victims. by the way, i just came from injuring and arresting the suspect, but only after i took a shotgun round to the chest. thankfully my vest stopped it.

Teehee!

Anno 1404 is a city builder, with the colonial aspect and resource management between different islands/bases thrown in. There is also combat obviously, but it is over simplistic and not very fun. I think Settlers something like AoE?

Teehee, not really, there is a key which changes the angle. The tornado one, was pretty well caught I must admit. :)

Settlers is more like Settlers or more like anno instead of AoE, but it depends on which Settlers we're talking about, some are more like AoE.

Yeah, postcard view, and you still found some pretty nice angles.

A few more then:

Heavies wrack up tons of points, especially so if you run a medic train with one. Even if you don't get the objective a single ubercharge can easily score upwards of ten points. My pocket doctor and I once managed 100 points in 15 minutes on a random payload map.

[Veho Nex]

Yeah but this was a special heavy experience. It had almost became a normal one where I get 2 or 3 kills and then die, but I had three medics healing me and I was hovering inbetween 20 and 100 life, and it was "over time" on king of the hill. I had won it for my team. I felt proud.

My current mission in Pharaoh (with Cleopatra expansion): Djedu.

A quite easy mission, given that you get to export Papyrus, Reeds, Wood and Meat.
I had to import 450 sandstones for the Temple of the Sun (big building at the top), as well as resources to produce pottery and beer.
The only little trick in this mission is to effectively build your cities on both sides of the Nile

My best was one charmed life where I got 25 kills, with only a little help from occasional medics. I was defending I think the second stage of cranetop.

Also, Natascha for the win.

Most. Annoying. Gun. Evar.

Anyways, just tonight I barbequed 5 or so people trying to cap a point on the mill map, but alas, I did not get a screenshot. Always fun though. Half of them were on fire before they knew they were under attack, and the backburner gave out lots of criticals.

CR

[Veho Nex]

I was one of those 5 people :(

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

I got to re-equip the backburner some time, but the pyro has been nerfed so hard I rarely bother.

Pyro is more a utility class now. The ability to air-blast Ubers backward can slow an offense to a dead stop. I've seen pyros juggle a heavy for a full uber duration, and I shouldnt have to say why those with the Homewrecker are credit to team!

My current HTTT, nearing the first century mark in play as Castile (Now spain). Aragon nearly overcome me really early on with some shrewd political dealings in Europe (at one point they were set to inherit both Naples and Sicily). After a couple hard fought wars and no small amount of hardship I completed the merger and formed Spain. Portugal turned vassal and I diplo-annexed them around 15 years prior to this map. My side of Europe has been predictable, Spain forming from Castile and North Africa falling to me, ect. What has been the big surprise is everyone else.

Muscowy lost an initial war against Novgorod which completely fractured the Rus principalities, they've begun to reform and battle back but that's a fairly recent development. Lithuania imploded, as did Poland, paving the way for Moscow's surge. Hungary survived their intial troubles ( i havent seen that happen for a number of games) and is quickly becoming a power to be reckoned with in the East. The Mamlukes hold a sizable empire and have defeated the Ottomans on numerous occasions. Most surprising of all, England collapsed as a result of a war against the French and completely disappeared. In it's place? Wales! They've taken all of England's former holdings and have (by now) cored all of the southern island. Ireland formed as a result of nearly every irish OPM at one point getting 3/4 of the isle, then losing them all to rebelling. Leinster finally had the conviction to claim all Ireland and make the transition.

Holy shhh... 12 Divisions land in the low countries, New years day 1941!!

Crusader Kings with DVIP. Started off as Count of Ulaid, you need a bit of luck at the start of a game with them as the province next door which you have a claim on can quickly be inherited by a Scottish Count making expansion a lot more difficult. I got lucky in this and was able to take it quickly, now waiting to get 100 gold to claim the Dukedom of Ulster and then I'm on my way on the long slow path to be King of Ireland. With a bit of luck I might get it with this guy.

Be careful William the Bastard doesn't become Papal Controller any time soon or your game could be over sooner than you may think!

He is at the moment!

His realm is in duress and he is constantly battling rebellious vassals, so I think I might get away with it this time.

Here are some more Pharaoh screens. I switched to easy for a little while, but since it is now quite easy (I'm swimming in debens), I'm gonna play in normal again.

There's one thing that kind of bothers me in this game: the need to build a load of temples if you don't want gods to be mad at you. In a city with 6000 inhabitants (such as the one I screened there), having less than 10 temple for each good means impedent doom.

Dodge_272 your lack of militia divisions disturbs me. The value of militia is immense. Your coastal defence would be more effective if you stationed a Inf+Mil army at each coastal province. Mil offer force modifiers and spread casualties evenly, meaning your valuable Inf can fight longer.

Also your IC is too low. At the start of a game Germany should build a 2 serial run of factories in every province, 3 is even better in the long-run if you are up for it.

The fourth King of Ireland. Casting coveting glances across the Irish Sea, already has one vassal in Wales and a random Arab somehow got a province there which is a nice excuse to meddle in Welsh affairs...
