    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.

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    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

    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

    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.
    BLARGH!

    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.

    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.
