england with 5 inflation

Printing manies.

I never really bothered worrying about inflation before it got over 8% or so. I'm guessing I should be worried. Any master of the mint advisors I hire would only be about 2stars, so not that crazy good.

When at peace I could change my trade national idea into the master of the mint one to help it out I guess.

Everything for you is now 5% more expensive, including technologies.

Damn France, 16BB? Big loan? -1 Stab? Liking where I'm at tho...

Let me fire up that save imo

Padishah "Thunderbolt" Bayezid I

Bayezid's reign was marked by near constant war and expansion of Ottoman borders. Bayezid first decided that the mere existence of the countries of Karamon and Candor was insulting and decided to annex both of them. As he was preparing for two different wars in order to annex both countries as quickly as possible suddenly Karamon allied with Candor. Two wars were now outside the realm of possibility. Bayezid was heard to remark "What the **** is this ****!"

The Ottoman's faithful vassals Bosnia and Serbia answered the call to war and quickly destroyed the armies of Karamon and Candor and occupied their provinces. Bayezid, still wanted his 2nd war, declared war on the tiny country of Ramazan. Candor and Ramazan were quickly annexed, while Karamon was left with the following note:

See you in 5 years

-Thunderbolt B

Bayezid found himself at peace. He also found he didn't like being at peace. War was quickly declared on Wallachia with the intent of vassalization. Byzantium didn't think this sounded like a very good idea and declared war on the Ottomans. With their army destroyed and their provinces occupied Byzantium decided that war with the Ottomans was an even worse idea and peace was declared. Wallachia became the latest Ottoman vassal and another military ally.

Still not thinking highly of peace Bayezid declared war on Mus and quickly annexed the one province country. Next up was a return visit to Karamon, with much better results.

Then a stroke of luck. Apparently in one of Europe's countless irrelevant wars the country of Epirus was liberated from Naples by Milan. War was declared and Epirus joined the growing Ottomans. Milan wisely declared a white peace.

At peace once again and with no other small neighbors begging for inclusion Bayezid turned his attention to the Mamluks. Fighting to a stalemate Bayezid was happy with the conquest of Aleppo, Hammah, Beirut, and Damascus. After peace was declared the Mamluks quickly descended into a wretched hive of scum and villiany as they were racked with rebellion after rebellion.

With the prospect of several years of peace ahead Bayezid decided he would rather die instead. So he did. Bayezid's reign was successful and he oversaw the annexation of 14 provinces and the addition of 1 new vassal. During his reign he also did his best to enlighten the Christian infidels in the Sultanate; converting Nis, Macedonia, Edirne, Bulgaria, Burgus, and Janina to the one true faith.


Regency Council - March 31, 1421

On March 31st a Regency Council took control of the Ottoman lands. They had many sweeping changes to enact and got started b-


Padishah "Punisher" Mustafa I - April 3, 1421

Mustafa I was proclamied Padishah of the Ottomans April 3rd, 1421 and quickly set to work continuing his fathers legacy.

Meanwhile in Mamlukland the province of Sidon quickly declared it's independence. Seeing an opportunity Mustafa declared war. Despite still having a 4 year truce left, the Mamluks came to Sidon's aid and it was on like Donkey Kong (who I believe was some minor Mamlukian noble). Sidon was annexed and the entire Mamluk country was laid to waste by the unstoppable Ottoman armies. The Mamluks were let off with a warning.

After punishing the Mamluks for their insolence Mustafa declared Jihad against the heathen Trebizond. Byzantium again tried to interfere and were again told to **** off. The Trebizond punishment for being Christian was annexation.

Satisfied by his martial pimpslaps, Mustafa decided the Ottoman Sultanate wasn't grand enough and declared the land an empire. The Ottoman Empire was born and Mustafa declared himself Padishah Emperor of Dune the Ottomans.

Apparently we have found a Poland

Eastern Europe just got interesting.

thought igetjokes was going to be Poland

I'll never give up my province in eastern europe, neeever!

I mean the game is apparently 11pm Saturday night for him so. I think its thedjstus roommate who is going to play. If they both play even better

Also a diplomatic heads up to Castille:

You just finished a war with Venice and made them release Albania. As Albania is the last foreign territory I have a core on I intend to DOW them. Feel free to dishonor that alliance. Or honor it and not interfere and we can whitepeace after, or cancel the alliance before I declare war.

What do I get in return for my benevolent looking away from your stomping my newly released nation friend?

Not being dragged into a foreign war

more like Alolbania

yes cause him blockading the straights and then landing all his troops on anatolia where you can't touch him would be sooooooooo bad for him.

Yeah I guess my 28k troops in Anatolia would just ignore him.

Can't thouch him naa nanana

Can't thouch him naa nanana

so how's vic 2? I'm installing it now, not sure which I want to play tonight. God this is bad I'm addicted to this game. Will probably last me until bf3 comes out.

I started going through the tutorial to learn the UI one night but the tutorial crashes at a certain point every time so I said **** it. Looked like it might be good. Also thought about trying HoI3 but whenever I do I end up just opening EU3 and starting another game as a new nation and forget about trying the other games.

HoI 3 is very well done. Quite complex but fun once you understand how it works (supply system is tough). However, it is much more tactical than EU3; you lead your divisions individually and must try to create encirclements etc.

vic 2 is solid, just make sure you get all the mods that fix major problems

HOI3 i havent played since release when it was unplayably bad.

HOI3 needs the Semper Fi expansion to be fun. It adds the ability to see command lines and expand them, which makes managing brigades fun again. Previously you had to click ever single brigade to know where the **** the higher officers were. Being able to set theathers of war was also a godsend, so you generals don't decide to invade Albania after you sent them to protect Africa.

**** Albania imo

That's exactly what you say after you conqer Albania and lose everything in Africa to the English.

Seriously tho, I really loved playing HOI3, even wrote 2 AAR here somewhere, but EU3 is taking all my time now

edit: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/75...on-iii-767890/ maybe half an AAR

Anyone else super pumped for Saturday? We havent even had any pvp wars and its still been p fun, and every session brings the possibility of more pvp wars :O
